THE FINEST PINK ROSE EVER INTRODUCED. 



CANADIAN QUEEN. 



Winner of the only Medal given at the New York Flower Show October, J 902, for new rose. 

 This Queen among roses is a sport from Mrs. Pierpont Morgan, possessing all its vigorous habits; 

 stands erect with strong stem and beautiful clean cut foliage. The flower is perfect in form, each 

 petal opening out faultlessly, and in size equals Morgan, being four inches in diameter. The color 

 is a shell pink throughout of exceptional shade that will make it the peer of all other roses in light 

 pink. The plant is most prolific and the keeping qualities are unusually good.

American Florist, report New York Show : — " Canadian Queen 

 from the Dale Estate. Brampton, leads in the novelty section." 



The Florists' Exchange, of New York. Nov. 1. 1902:— "Amone 

 the new things on exhibition are: The Canadian* Queen rose. shown 

 by the Dale Estate. Brampton. Ont.. a sport from Mrs. Pierpont 

 Morgan, of a beautiful shade of pink, lighter than that of Mrs. 

 Morgan and a little deeper than the color of Mrs. OHver Ames. 

 This new-comer is highly spoken of by the rose growers present." 



J.B. Keller's Sons. of 

 Rochester, N. Y , write 

 Oct. 20. 1902:— "'Of all 

 the pink roses we have 

 ever seen we think 

 this one (Canadian 

 Queen) is the prettiest 

 both in color and shape 

 of flower and beats 

 everything in a pink 

 rose, in our estimation. 

 If it is as good agrower 

 and as free a bloomer 

 as it appears to be it 

 ought to have a phe- 

 nomenal sale if you 

 intend putting it on the 

 market. We do not 

 know of anything that will compare with it." 



T. Young, Jr. of New York, under date of Nov. 4, 1902:—" Gen- 

 tlemen: The Canadian Queens you have been shipping to me have 

 arrived in the very best of condition, and I like the rose very much. 

 It has been shown to the principal retailers and they all admire it. 

 Its keeping <iualities are excellent, and it will no doubt prove a 

 valuable acquisition to the list of good roses and also prove to be 

 a profitable rose to the grower as well as the retailer." 



TESTIMONIALS PROFFERED 

 BY A FEW FLORISTS 



WHO HAVE 

 SEEN THE ROSE. 



«^ %^ 



3. S. Murray. Montreal, Que., writes under date Oct. 2. 1902:— 

 " Dear Sirs : Thank you so much for sendinir me the new rose. 

 Canadian Queen. %vhich I think lovely and waxy and am sure will 

 be very salable. The color, stem and foliage are beautiful. My 

 cus,tomers who saw it to-day seem highly pleased .with it. The 

 fragrance, too. is delightful." 



Philip Breitmeyer. of Detroit, Mich., Oct. 7. 1902:— "Canadian 

 Queen is rightly named, you should be proud of it. I think it is a 



grand color. Canadi- 



an Queen fills just the 



want ; it \vill supplant 

 Cusin. To bear out 

 what I say we want as 

 many as we can plant 

 for next season, if you 

 will send it out. Put us 

 on early so as to get 

 an order in." 



S. Tidy & Son, Toron- 

 to, Canada, say under 

 date Oct. 2. 1902 :— " We 

 think the new rose is a 

 lovely color and pre- 

 dict a great success for 

 it, providing it has all 

 the good qualities of 

 the parent, and judging from what we saw of Mrs. Oliver Ames at 

 the spring New York show would say without hesitation that Cana- 

 dian Queen is in every way its superior." 



W. J. Palmer, of Buffalo, N. Y., writes under date Oct. 22. 1902 : 

 — "The Queen roses received last night were very fine, could not 

 have been better. Should say that Canadian Queen is a better rose 

 than Morgan or Cueiu. and when you get ready to send it out \\ill 

 have to try some of it." 



We have had this rose (unknown to the poblic) for three years but have not exhibited it until 

 now, as we desired to make such a test of its qualities as would warrant us in recommending it to 

 the trade, and we have now no hesitation in saying that it is in every way a more than desirable 

 light pink rose, the best ever sent out and a necessity to any good grower.
