OWING TO WAR CONDITIONS last year and consequent uncer- 

 tainties we carried over a surplus of our 



Two New Roses 

 ROSALIND and SILVIA 



The stock has been carried over in cold houses during the win- 

 ter, and is now in practically dormant condition. The plants are 

 very strong and healthy, and can he planted at once, if the houses 

 are readv, or can he shifted into 4-inch pots for later planting. They 

 will make splendid stock, especially for early planting, as they are 

 very strong and healthy, and are ready to make a, strong growth. 

 We offer the stock as long as unsold at the prices named below. 



ROSALIND <A Glorified Ophelia)— The particular value of this 

 variety lies in its exquisite coloring, which is quite different from 

 Ophelia. When the buds first show color they are bright coral, which 

 changes to apricot-pink as the buds develop, and when fully devel- 

 oped thev are a most beautiful shell-pink The flower is much more 

 double than Ophelia, having at least on.- third more petals. It is 

 also delightfully fragrant. In habit of growth it is Identical with 

 Ophelia, from which it is a sport. Rosalind originated with us 

 three years ago and, when grown side by side with Ophelia, it is far 

 superior to that variety. 



Awarded first prize at the International Flower Show, New York, 

 in March, 1917. for best new roce. 



Awarded additional silver medal at same show for display of 

 Rosalind. _ _ , . * _, _ .

 Ophelia which originated with us. The buds are long and pointed, 

 and are a beautiful sulphur-yellow, which changes to creamy yellow 

 as the flower opens, and when fully developed are pure waxy white. 

 It is a flower of unusual size when fully expanded— five inches in 

 diameter. It resembles the popular hardy climber Silver Moon, show- 

 ing the same pronounced cluster of yellow stamens in the center. 

 Exquisite in hud and unusually distinct and unique in the open 

 flower.
