It will be of interest to you as well as to me to note my championship. I sell Flowers, and my start was from the Living- ston Company. I want to thank you for the nice selection you have sent me and appreciate what your bulbs and seeds Jiave meant to me. VICKERY'S FORCING. Used for the greenhouse and outside growing. It is of the White Spine type but is longer and a deeper green, Vickery's Forcing is more productive than the long variety used by some growers. It does not have a trace of bitterness. Growers of Vickery's and others of this type should give the new Longfellow a good trial. It is very promising. Oz., 30c; Ya lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. New Longfellow. ^^^^ season we sent the Longfellow out on the recommendation of the originators, but we now have reports from some of our Greenhouse growers and others, stating their satisfaction with the Longfellow. A few were disappointed, but at the same time there were other standard sorts that failed, owing to unfavorable conditions. So far it has not proven as long as first stated. We find that it is nearer 10 inches in length than 12. It is certainly a beautiful shaped var- iety, of a rich dark green in color, and very attractive. It is a cross of White Spine and Livingston's Emerald. From the latter it gets its dark green color, which it retains for a long time. Gardeners will find Longfellow a fine "straight pack" sort for shipping. ^ oz., 20c; oz., 30c; Ya lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50; Selected stock. Y2 oz., 25c; oz., 45c; Ya lb., $1.40; lb., $5.00.
