E. Q. Hill's New Forcing Hybrid Tea 



ROSE QUEEN 



COLOR — This new rose has the startling shade of pink 

 found in Rixlocanachi, or in a perfect Testout, with yellow- 

 standard at the base of the petal, which is a guarantee 

 that the flower will never "blue" with age, and that it will 

 not fade in bright sunlight. 



FORM — The hud is very long, slender, and pointed, and 

 opening shows a heart glowing with color. 



STEM — One of its strongest points is the freedom and 

 quickness with which it makes long stems, which hold the 

 tine buds quite upriglit, producing high-grade blooms 

 earlier than any other rt se on first year plants. 



PET.ALiAGE — It is fuller than Killarney and opeus 

 readily even in dark weather. 



Its KEEPING QIALITIE.S are remarkable; it has carried 

 in fine condition to all the shows, and has stood up well 

 after arrival. 



The FOIiI.4GE is decidedly handsome, while not too 

 priifuse. 



It has a strong CONSTITl TION. Is healthy and free 

 from mildew and blackspols; does not drop its foliage as 

 Killarne,v does, and never takes on the faded appearance 

 that so often mars the beauty of the latter. 



M.4N'.4lGEMENT — The average grower will have no 

 trouble in producing high-grade blooms, for the variety 

 has no ugly tricks of growth or faults of c<]nstitution : 

 takes same temperature as Killarney or 'Maid. 



It l'ROPAG.\TES readily. 



ROSE Ql'EEN won the prize at the Chicago Show, 

 Xovenilter, I'.HO, as the best undisseminated seedling.

Hrs. AARON WARD 



THE NEW YELLOW 

 -FORCING ROSE 



This rose is a real joy to the grower, and absolutely 

 distinct; if it never bore a flower, the plant would still 

 be an object of beauty with its close-set foliage, dark 

 and glossy leaves, long, slender and pointed, with ma- 

 roon reverse. 



The habit is admirable, very freely branched, making 

 a perfect shrub in form, and rustling with health. 



Every shoot produces a flower — 



And the color! Coppery orange in the opening bud; 

 .golden orange when partly developed: pinkish fawn of 



lovely shade when fully open, when it looks like a full, 

 fluffy silk rosette. No wonder that flower-buyers have 

 fallen in love with it. 



Any grower wishing novelty in his cut roses, any 

 florist needing something besides pink and white and 

 red, will be delighted with the lovely Mrs, Ward.

BONFIRE — Our New Carnation 



Color, intense velvety scarlet ; a nice, clean grower, 

 with beautiful blue grass, indicating a strong constitu- 

 tion ; habit, excellent, free in growth and bloom, stem 

 long and stiff, with a strong calyx; this is a first-rate 

 commercial scarlet, a fine companion for BEACON, 

 which is now practically our only red variety. 



It is early, and opens its bloom quickly ; an unusually 

 good traveler and keeper. Each year of its trial has 



confirmed our estimate of its value. 



Won Silver Cup (Sweepstakes) at Chicago Show in 

 1909. for best seedling carnation. 



Won first at Chicago in 1910, for best red seedling 

 carnation. 



First at Indianapolis, 1910, winning in open class for 

 50 red with eight entries of standard and novelty 

 varieties.
