Holly, Bouquet Green, Evergreen Wroathing, Xmas Trees, Etc. 



Why do Barnard's Xmae decorations lead in quality ? Because we send our own men from 

 Chicago to the different green countries to superintend the selection, cutting, and padding of Holly, 

 Bouquet Qreens, Xmas Trees, etc. They are men of twenty years' experience and are well 

 acquainted with the requirements of the most critical florists. They are instructed that the 

 best is just good enough for our trade. 



EVERGREEN WREATHIKG, HOLLY WREATHS, ETC., 



Are made on our ' own premises, under our own supervision. They have style in appearance and are perfect in 

 workmanship. We have the most competent and experienced operators in our employ and can make lowest prices 

 on anything in the Xmas decoration line. 



Our complete book on Xmas decorations and Xmas sundries ready and will be mailed free for the asking.

McAlpine Brop., of Exeter, N. H., are 

 sending to the Boston Flo^^er Exchange 

 superb Bichmond roses with stems three 

 to six feet long.' They are also sending 

 a quantity of these to New York. They 

 expect to have 18,000 Bichmonds for 

 Christmas. Their Beauties have re- 

 markably fine heads, while Killarney 

 Queen, Killariley, "White Killarney and 

 Ward are all of splendid quality. 



Work was completed last week on 

 Thomas Eoland's new house at Eevere. 

 This is of Lord & Burnham construc- 

 tion and all the most up-to-date im- 

 provements are embodied in it. The 

 dimensions are 61 x 525 feet, twenty- 

 seven feet high at the ridge and eight 

 feet at the sides. For the first crop 

 16,000 tomatoes will be planted, and 

 these will probably be followed by 

 sweet peas. Mr, Boland states that his 

 immense stock of cyclamens and other 

 plants at Nahant is already pretty well 

 sold out. 



Mann Bros., of Eandolph, have some 

 finely berried Skimmia Japonica and

 sias, begonias and other well-grown

 is growing Carnation Benora in quan- 

 tity this season and finds it a great 

 bloomer, seller and keeper. White Won- 

 der and Pink Delight are other great 

 specialties with him.
