ROSES AND THEIR CULTURE FOR 

 COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. 



Paper Read Before the Morris Co. Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Society. April 14, 

 1909, by Wm. G. Badgley. 



Varieties to Grow. 



Of course this depends a great deal 

 upon what thfe grower requires, or 

 what he has demand for in the 

 New Yorli market, as that is the 

 place where most of the roses 

 grown in this vicinity are dis- 

 posed of. There is no doubt that the 

 standard varieties, for commercial 

 purposes are best, all things con- 

 sidered, and to meet conditions in 

 the New York market, it is well 

 to grow about one-quarter white 

 and three-quarters pink. If you 

 can grow a good red profitably, 

 grow as many as you reasonably can 

 Before going further, 1 would like to 

 impress on you that it is not, as a 

 rule, the plants that produce show 

 flowers that are the best money 

 makers, but the money makers, if 

 handled properly, can be made to pro- 

 duce show flowers. 



Beauties, of course, are standard in 

 their class and no doubt will be for 

 some time to come. It does not pay 

 the small grower, however, to grow 

 them, as they have been taken up as 

 a specialty by nearly all the large 

 growers. When Beauties are grown 

 in large quantities they can be han- 

 dled to better advantage and produced 

 more cheaply. The wholesaler pre- 

 fers to receive the bulk of them from 

 one source. Therefore the small 

 grower will not realize a high price 

 when his supply is irregular and un- 

 certain. There have been numerous 

 new varieties put on the market in 

 the last few years, namely: Rhea 

 Ried, Mrs. Potter Palmer. Mrs. Jar- 

 dine, Wyndmoor, My Maryland. Queen 

 Beatrice. Pink and White Killarney 

 and others, and I am sorry to say that 

 excepting Jly Maryland and Pink and 

 White Killarney, most of them are no 

 real improvement on what we already 

 have, excepting, of course, that they 

 have their value as novelties. Under 

 favorable conditions many of them 

 have given good results. Most of 

 them are well bred. Pink and White 

 Killarney are worth spending a little 

 time on, as they have each proven to 

 be a favorite as a commercial flower 

 as well as a top notcher as a show 

 flower. Killarney is justly entitled to 

 all the praise it has received. I con- 

 sider it the best money maker that 

 has ever been grown. We will con- 

 sider Pink and White Killarney to- 

 gether, as White Killarney bears the 

 same relation to Pink Killarney that 

 Bridesmaid does to Mermet, and 

 therefore being of the blood and habit 

 each will do equally well under condi- 

 tions that are identical. 



Propagating Killarney. 

 Starting from the cutting, would say 

 that when taking wood from Killarney 

 plants for cuttings, considerable care 

 must be exercised as to what kind to 

 take, as it Is characteristic of this 

 plant to drop its foliage before it at- 

 tains much age, and as they will drop 

 them as quickly, or more so, in the 

 sand than they will on the plant, you 

 should strive to make your cuttings of 

 wood which is not too old nor yet 

 young enough to be of soft texture. 

 But should your Killarney cuttings

lose their foliage in the sand and ap- 

 parently look like a failure, just let 

 them alone and properly attend to 

 your watering and temperature and if 

 necessary let them stay right there 

 two months or more and you will find 

 that your efforts have not been In 

 vain after all. This rule, of course, 

 applies to cases where nothing detri- 

 mental or unusual has happened and 

 the cuttings have simply lost their 

 leaves and rested. 



Rules for Pinching. 

 Planting, watering, airing, etc., with- 

 Killarney is carried out in the same 

 manner as other roses during summer- 

 and fall. Cutting the buds should not 

 be practiced, but rather keep them all 

 pinched, and when you pinch them, 

 pinch them back to the first leaf con- 

 taining five separate leaflets, as from 

 such an eye you will get a growth 

 that will run up and make a strong 

 stem. You should continue this pinch- 

 ing until Oct. 2(X, when it will be wise-
