Carnation Miss Theo — Dark pink 
medium sized flowers on good, stiff stems. 
Awarded a certificate of merit by the 
A. C. S. (Littlefield & Wyman) 
Carnation Morning Glow — A beautiful sil- 
ver pink variety, delightfully fragrant. Awarded 
certificate of merit by the A. C. S. (Edw. Wink- 
ler) 
Carnation Cottage Maid — A blush- 
pink sport of carnation Mrs. C. W. Ward, 
and possessing all the qualities of the pa- 
rent (Cottage Gardens Co.) 
Carnation Matchless — A glistening 
white. Awarded the Dorner Memorial 
medal and the gold medal of the S. A. F. 
Fine for private use (Cottage GardensCo.) 
Carnation Mrs. C. Edw ard Akehurst — A clear rose- 
pink. An easy grower well suited for amateurs (C. Ed- 
ward Akehurst) 
Carnation Laura Weber — Light salmon-pink. An ac- 
cepted candidate for the Dorner Memorial Medal of the 
A. C. S. (Chas. Weber) 
Dendrobium Schuitzii — An orchid from the Philippines 
bearing pure white flowers of the D. phalaenopsis type. Now 
flowering in America for the first time (Lager & Hurrell) 
stakes cup in the class for the best too flowers in 
the exhibition. It is a sparkling white of large 
size, an easy grower, and a constant cropper. It is a 
highly desirable variety for private growers. 
Champion (see color illustration on cover) is the 
new scarlet which seeks to displace the popular 
Beacon. It is a flower of moderate size, with the 
color a half shade or so deeper than that of Beacon. 
It is an easy grower and a free bloomer; the amateur 
would probably do better with it than with Beacon. 
Philadelphia is a rich pink (also shown in color 
on the cover) which is meeting a good reception at 
the hands of commercial growers. Its main claim 
to notice is its color, which is grand under artificial 
light. As a grower it runs a little too much to 
“grass” to suit the specialists. 
New Winter-Blooming Water-Lilies — Raised 
from N. Daubigniana. Panama-Pacific on right; Mrs. 
Woodrow Wilson on left. Both have shades of violet 
blue and mark an interesting break in type (W. Tricker) 
Begonia Mrs. J. A. Peterson is a welcome ad- 
dition to the flowering begonias for Christmas use. 
It resembles in form the well-known Begonia 
Gloire de Lorraine, but the flowers are a trifle 
smaller and of the red color so much in demand at 
Christmas. 
Snapdragon Phelps’ White is a welcome ad- 
dition to the new types of snapdragon (Antirrhinum) 
which have become popular of late, and which have 
been confined to pink colors. The flowers set 
closely along the stem, and the plants make a some- 
what dwarfed growth, making the variety as well 
adapted to bedding as to greenhouse use. 
Rose Ellen Poulsen is a fair representative of the 
newer type of Polyantha roses used for bedding 
purposes. (For other notes see page 130). 
H. T. Rose Prince E. G. d’Arenberg — A true red rose, Polyantha Rose Ellen Poulsen — A good pink repre- H. T. Rose Mme. Edmond Rostand — Color, pale flesh 
not inclined to mildew or spot. A splendid forcer, and sentation of the newer types of Polyantha roses very suit- shaded with salmon, reddish orange centre. Good for both 
worth a trial in the garden able for bedding purposes greenhouse and garden
