J., for full particulars, blank applications, etc. New York Notes and Comments. The dead season has certainly arrived as far as the flower trade is concerned. There is really nothing doing among the iiptown florists, and the streets are stocked with the outdoor venders. Bas- kets of magnolias are to be seen every where, and great bunches of kalmia, as well as outdoor roses and other garden flowers. Prices are of course very mate- rially lowered; in fact they have averaged lower all this season than the season previous. Several new roses are promised us just now. One valuable trade acquisition is a sport from Anna Alexieff, originating with Julius Roehrs, of Rutherford, N. J. The color is almost identical with the parent, but the flower is very much larger, the petals thicker and firmer in texture, and without the crumpled ten- dency we often see in the Alexieff. An improvement in every way on the parent, and, sharing in its early blooming qual- ities, it is sure to be a big success. Another new rose is the climbing Perle des Jardins, belonging to the John Henderson Co. It presents all the lead- ing characteristics of the ordinary I'erle; its climbing habit is the sole e;xception. It is evidently a verj' beautiful rose and will naturally excel the old favorite, Niel, in its constant blooming. Yet another new rose is one of the singular hybrids raised by Mr. Carman, of the A'liral A'eiL' yorkei; cross between Rosa rugosa and Harrison's Yellow. This rose has a bright crimson flower, similar color to Jacq, double and very fragrant. l"ragrance rather like a Jacq, but with a tinge of Rosa canina odor. The foliage.
