MRS. J AS. LYNAS 

 A most valuable garden rose 



Color; pearly pink at base of petal, flushed 

 deeper shade at edges and on the reverse. 



One of the best of over 125 

 varieties we catalogue for Amer- 

 ican Gardens. All are imported 

 from Hugh Dickson, Ltd., Bel- 

 fast, Ireland, and are strong, two 

 year old plants. 



As Imported Rose plants 

 will be limited 



in America this season, we urge 

 those who are contemplating 

 Rose Gardens this spring to place 

 their order at once. 



We must have all orders on file by 

 MARCH 15th, to guarantee delivery 

 for spring planting. 



Standard Varieties: 60c per plant; 

 #6.00 per dozen; $40.00 per hundred. 



Our 191 8 Illustrated Cata- 

 logue is now ready. It contains 

 the finest list of 



Roses and Chrysanthemums 



in America, as well as 



Hardy Perennial Plants 



If interested, write for a copy 

 — if you have not already re- 

 ceived one.

National Flower Show Deferred 



' I V AKING note of the general conditions of 

 •*• traffic and the probable difficulties that 

 might be encountered, the managers of the 

 Fifth National Flower Show, which was to 

 have taken place at St. Louis, Mo., next 

 month, have decided to postpone the event to 

 some later date when conditions are adjudged 

 to be more generally favorable. This action 

 of the National Committee will, we feel sure, 

 meet with the approval of horticulturists gen- 

 erally. It is understood, of course, that the 

 next National Flower Show, whenever it 

 may be held, will take place at St. Louis. 



The annual Trade Convention of the So- 

 ciety of American Florists, which was to be 

 held concurrently with the Flower Show will 

 probably take place as originally arranged at 

 St. Louis opening April 9th; but the date may 

 be set back to August as in previous years. 



American Rose Society Comes to New York 



TN CONSEQUENCE of the foregoing 

 *• change of date the American Rose Society 

 has made arrangements to hold its annual ex- 

 hibition and meeting in connection with the 

 International Flower ShowintheGrand Central 

 Palace, New York, March 14th to 21st. Other 

 arrangements for the Rose Society during this 

 year include an outdoor meeting at Elizabeth 

 Park, Hartford, Conn., in connection with the 

 Rose Test Garden established there. The 

 exact date will be fixed later — sometime in 

 June.

Nursery Firm Promises 

 Unusual Catalogue 



Old Established Firm Announces 

 Early Publication of Helpful Book 



GARDEN owners everywhere will 

 be delighted at the news that 

 the old established Framingham 

 Nurseries are about to issue a book for 

 distribution among garden lovers which 

 will mark a step in advance of anything 

 that has ever appeared in this country 

 before, for interest, helpfulness and con- 

 ciseness. 



The Framingham Nurseries several 

 years ago came under new management, 

 which, while adhering to the - t ideals of 

 the old has introduced new ideas which 

 have placed The Framingham Nur- 

 series among the leaders in the nursery 

 industry. In introducing a number 

 of progressive ideas the matter of a 

 catalogue naturally came up for dis- 

 cussion, with the result that there will 

 soon be published a book of unusual 

 charm and character, which will not 

 be a catalogue in the ordinary sense of 

 the word, but rather a book of helpful 

 hints. 



Instead of being a botanical dic- 

 tionary or an uninteresting directory 

 of all the plants and shrubs that are 

 grown in Framingham Nurseries — 

 (and the nurseries cover five-hundred 

 acres and have been established since 

 1894) — it will present in a manner both 

 lucid and picturesque, suggestions of 

 nursery stock listed under the adapta- 

 bility of each. Thus the reader can 

 turn to foundation planting and find a 

 number of plans for planting an attrac- 

 tive foundation with lists of varieties, 

 prices, sketches of the finished result, 

 etc. 



Everything will be so arranged as to 

 furnish the greatest volume of usable 

 information in the most understandable 

 form. 



Because the edition will be limited 

 it is asked of those interested that they 

 send early application for their copies. 

 It is the hope that all who are really 

 interested may have copies sent to 

 them immediately upon publication, 

 which will be the latter part of March. 



By addressing your letter now to the 

 Framingham Nurseries, Framingham, 

 Mass., you will be sure to receive a 

 copy immediately upon publication. 

 Please say, "Send me your Garden 

 Book, as advertised in March Garden 

 Magazine."
