 • u old biislnoss ncqunlntiini-p. wbo 1h the prosldrnt of a con- 

 cern conducllnc lartie bnlldlng opcrullons. KnoxvlnK my 

 connection wllb tlic groenliousc phase of bullillng, he ox- 

 pressi'd a desire to see some of the Cleveland houses, put 

 up bv the various greenhouse concerns. 



Ilappll.v I bad my little red book along, containing a full 

 listlnir of them. 



.So we hired a gasoline buggy and set out for the day. 



Tills one of L. H. Treadway was the last one we saw. 

 He looked It over point by point, constantly asking ques- 

 tions of Robert Poole, the gardener. 



Finally he turned to me and snld, "Well I don't know 

 who built this house, but whoever did. knew what they were 

 about. It strikes me as the best piece of workmanship we 

 have seen today."' 



If 1 was at liberty to tell you big name, you would at 

 once appreciate the 100 per cent, value of his comment. But 

 be made nie promise not to use his name in any advertise- 

 ment. 



But what we can do. Is give you full particulars of the 

 house and what one like It would cost. 



You know we go anywhere for business, or to talk busi- 

 ness.

ROSALIND (A glorified Ophelia). The particular value of this variety lies in its exquisite coloring, which is 

 entirely different from Ophelia. When the buds first show color they ars bright coral, changing as they develop 

 to apricot-pink, and when fully developed they are a most beautiful shell-pink. The flower is much more 

 double than Ophelia, having at least one-third more petals. It is also delightfully fragrant. In habit of growth 

 it is identical with Ophjlia, from which it is a sport. Rosalind originated with us two years ago, and, grown 

 side by side with Ophelia, is far superior to that variety. 



Awarded first prize at International Flower Show. New York, March, 1917, for best new rose. 



Awarded additional silver medal at same show for display of Rosalind. 



Awarded silver medal by the Horticultural Society of New York. 



Awarded silver medal by the Tarrytown Horticultural Society. Also numerous certificates. 

 SILVIA (Yellow Ophelia). Another beautiful sport of Ophelia, originating with us. The buds are long and 

 pointed, beautiful sulphur-yellow, changing to creamy yellow as the flower opens, and when fully developed, pure 

 waxv white. It is an unusual rose when fully expanded, five inches in diameter, and resembles the popular 

 hardv climber Silver Moon, showing the same pronounced cluster of yellow stamens in the center. Exquisite 

 in bud and unusuallv distinct and unique in the open flower.
