It is a fine, strong grower, but the size of the bud does not measure up with its fine foliage and heavy stem. Jonkheer J. L. Mock is a variety with an uncertain future. It is a most magnificent rose in the spring when there is sufficient sun heat to open its buds. I thought the vase of this rose staged at the New York show in 1914 by Eobert Simpson was the handsomest vase of roses ever staged. As a spring and summer rose it should find a place, but it gives too many deformed buds in dark weather to be profitable. Lady Alice Stanley is a beautiful two-toned pink rose and is esteemed by rose fanciers. This is a high-class va- riety and will always bring a good price in the retail shops. It has fine foliage and is free from any tendency to weakness of growth. We shall grow an increased quantity the coming sea- son. Lady Hillingdon has gone by the board, so to speak; a few are still grow- ing it, but its tendency to fly open and its lack of petals have been the deter- mining factors. Francis Scott Key is liked by a few, but I predict its speedy eclipse as a forcing rose. MODERN SALESMANSHIP. The accompanying illustrations will give an idea how florists' supplies may be brought to the customer wheu the customer can not come to the ware- house.

Farney's display of the M. Bice Co. made-in-America products in a leading Detroit hostelry. Engagements are made with every reachable retailer in turn, engagements that may or may not be kept, but the salesman generally can be trusted to get him there in the end, exemplifying the old adage that when Mahomet can not come to the mountain, why, the mountain can go to Mahomet.
