. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 810 The American Florist. Dec. lo. Flamingo got rather a black eye start- ing out, on account of the flowers not opening out properly, but during the last month it has redeemed itself to a great extent, and as the season advances it may more than come up to expecta- tions. Crusader is a fine commercial red of good growth, very free, but lacks a little on color. Indianapolis is a pleasing pink, flower large enough tor commercial purposes, very free in growth with good stem; promises well. Moonlight, one of last years' varieties, is a fine white, lacking a little on size compared with Lady Bountiful, but still good for commercial purposes. The Bride is a new white.

Hill Floral Com- pany, Streator, 111., is alight pink sport from Mrs. T. W. Lawson, somewhat on the color of Enchantress. There should be a place for this. Gen. Wayne, from W. J. & M. S.
