AMHEEST, MASS. 



The Florists' and Gardeners' Club 

 of the Massachusetts Agricultural Col- 

 lege, which is composed largely of mem- 

 bers of the floricultural classes, held 

 an exhibition of cut flowers during 

 Monday and Tuesday of commencement 

 week, June 16 and 17. This exhibition 

 was largely attended by townspeople 

 and commencement visitors and proved 

 an attractive feature of the week, A 

 large number of named varieties of 

 peonies were on exhibition from the 

 trial plots at the college; also many of 

 the herbaceous perennials which are in 

 flower at this season. The college also 

 exhibited varieties of carnations, roses 

 and sweet peas. 



This exhibition was supplemented 

 through the generosity of many of the 

 commercial and private growers of the 

 vicinity. A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Crom- 

 well, Conn., sent splendid vases of Dark 

 Pink Killarney, White Killarney and 

 Lady Hillingdon roses. W. H. Elliott, 

 of Madbury, N. H., and Brighton, Mass., 

 sent vases of American Beauty, Chris- 

 tine Miller, Mrs. Taft and Lady Hil- 

 lingdon roses. Patten -& Co., of Tewks- 

 bury, sent a vase of Princess Dagmar 

 carnations. O. D. AUyn, a rose enthu- 

 siast of Holyoke, Mass., showed thirty- 

 six varieties of hybrid perpetual and 

 hybrid tea roses. S. A. Wilde, of Taun- 

 ton, Mass., sent forty varieties of out- 

 door roses, and sixty types and varieties 

 were received from Elizabeth park, at 

 Hartford, Conn. 



The last year has been a progressive 

 one for the department of floriculture. 

 There were eight members in the grad- 

 uating class and all of these have se- 

 cured desirable positions. E. A. W.

We are growing all our Kentlas above 6-inch size in neat Cedar Tubs, made especially for us. with electric wire hoops, painted Kr«*n. 



These tubs cost several times the price of pots, but we sell the plants at the same price as though grown in pots. The buyer has the 

 advantage of receiving his plants without breakage of pots and in handsome tubs in which they have become well established and in which 

 they will continue to do better than in pots. 



When In Philadelphia be sure to look us up. 



We are easily reached— only 25 minutes from Reading Terminal, 12th and Market Streets, Philadelphia. We have fine train service— fifty 

 trains each way every week day— so you can suit your own convenience, both going and coming. When you will see our palms of all 

 flg^t, from 2^-inch pots to 12-inch tubs. We are strong on D«ooratlT« Palms, in 7-inch, 9-inch and 12-inch tubs (made-up or single 

 plants), which we can supply in any quantity. All our Palms are bome-crown (not an imported plant on the place) and well established 

 In the tubs. They are strong and healthy. 



With increased glass devoted to Palms, our stock is macb larcar tban arar bafora and never in battar condition.

GERANIUMS 



I HE report comes from all sections that Geraniums are more in 

 demand this season than ever and that all good stock will be 

 cleaned up. We have an excellent lot of young stock ready to ship 

 but, if you wish to grow your own stock for another season, but 

 why bother with it, as we make it our busintss to provide your 

 stock for you, to be shipped any time in the fall or winter you 

 have the room, after Chrysanthemums or other crops have been removed? Our 

 stock houses of Standard sorts alone, as now planted, contain 300,000 plants, as 

 pretty as you ever saw. Then we have Novelty stock, Ivy-leaved sorts, Scented 

 and Variegated varieties to the extent that we are confident we can take care of 

 any order you may place with us. Think it over. Can you afford to bother with 

 the stock yourself for $18.50 per 1000 for 2-inch plants ?
