DESCRIPTION 



Color: — Brilliant scarlet, good even shade. 



Form: — Large 3 to 3i/>-inch, well rounded flowers, full 

 center, scalloped edges, outer petals standing out well, 

 showing the flower off to good advantage. 



Calyx.: — Strong, large calyx; never bursts, very much 

 on the order of Harlowarden. 



Habit: — Ideal, upright growth; deep green colored 

 foliage, breaks readily from the base, making a rapid 

 growth and producing flowers in remarkably short time. 

 Easy to grow and propagate. 



Stem: — Long and strong, not heavy, always stiff enough 

 to hold the large flower perfectly erect. 



Guarantde: — We guarantee this variety to fill a long 

 felt want for a good all around commercial scarlet; one 

 that will produce high grade flowers with long stems right 

 from the beginning of the season to the end. 



The Herald is the Best Commercial Scarlet for you to 

 grow, because it will produce more perfect flowers in a 

 season than any other scarlet and bring a higher price 

 than any other; because the flowers are all perfect; stem 

 stiff and keeps the longest. Compared with Enchantress 

 it will produce one-third more blooms. No culls; no splits; 

 no weak stems. All rooted cuttings guaranteed strong, 

 well rooted and satisfactory in every respect. 



Rooted Cuttings roady for immediate delivery. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per lOOO.

was discovered during the year, and this 

 was found at Geneva, N. Y. The state 

 authorities, aided by the advice of the 

 experts of the bureau, have appar- 

 ently radically exterminated the insect 

 at this point, so that there is no fear 

 of future spread from this portion of

SPRINGFIELD, O. 



Club Banquet. 



Early in October Leman Bradford 

 wagered that Taft would carry New 

 York and Pennsylvania; Arthur J. Todd 

 wagered no. Early in December Mr. 

 Bradford most royally banqueted the 

 Springfield Florists' Club at the green- 

 houses of the Springfield Floral Co., on 

 the Urbana road. The oflSice door was 

 found to be securely locked and guarded 

 and the window shades closely drawn, 

 while the members, upon arrival, inter- 

 ested themselves in inspecting the spa- 

 cious packing sheds, boiler cellar and 

 other features of the equipment. 



The spell of mystery was broken 

 when the office door was thrown open 

 and a most unique sight met the gaze 

 of the expectant and hungry guests. 

 On the walls were a variety of mottos, 

 referring in jovial style to different 

 members, to items on the bill of fare 

 and to special rules of table etiquette 

 for the occasion. The surprising stunt, 

 however, was in the setting of the 

 tables, which was accomplished almost

exclusively by the use of flower pots 

 sealed at the lower end. There were 

 celery and crackers in 6-inch, oyster 

 stew in 5-inch, nuts in 4-inch, pickles, 

 sugar and roses in SV^-inch, coffee and 

 water in 3-inch, olives and cigars in 

 2% -inch, salt and toothpicks in 2-inch. 

 Just for variety, the sauerkraut course 

 and the butter were served on minia- 

 ture flats. Such tableware served to 

 make every florist perfectly at home 

 and the repast was most heartily en- 

 joyed. Incidentally, the product of the 

 Springfield Clay Mfg. Co. was freely 

 complimented. 



Mr. Bradford more than made good 

 his wager, and was profusely congratu- 

 lated upon the originality and aptness 

 of his entertainment. 



In the business session which fol- 

 lowed, William Campbell and Howard 

 Brown were elected to full membership 

 and the name of Kama C. Campbell was 

 proposed by the membership for action 

 at the January meeting. 



C. C. Leedle, of the program commit- 

 tee, invited suggestions by the members 

 as to topics of interest for the coming 

 meetines.
