New Rose, Killarney Brilliant 



The Most Valuable Rose Introduced in Many Years 



Winner of Silver Medal at New^ York Show 



We consider this new rose — a sport from the original pink Killarney — the 

 mo.st valuable rose that has been introduced in many years. It is well named Kil- 

 larney Brilliant, on account of its brilliant color. 



It is a great improvement on the original pink Killarney; first, because of 

 its much more brilliant color, it being almost crimson in bright vv^ather, while in 

 midwinter — in dull, cloudy and foggy weather, — when the original pink Killarney 

 loses its brilliancy and becomes badly faded, Killarney Brilliant is as bright and 

 deep a pink as the original variety at its best. In addition to its" great superiority 

 in color, the flower is almost twice as large, having from twenty-five to forty full 

 sized petals. 



It has the same desirable color that Killarney Queen possesses, but has double 

 the number of petals, making it a very double and a fuller flower; is also very 

 much more productive, having same habit of growth and same freedom of bloom 

 as its parent. 



We have watched Killarney Brilliant growing during the past Winter, planted 

 in the same house with the original and the double pink Killarney, and when those 

 varieties faded so as to be almost unmarketable. Killarney Brilliant was superb. 

 We are thoroughly convinced that it will immediately supplant the original Kil- 

 larney as the standard market variety, and that every up-to-date grower will be 

 compelled to plant it, on account of its great superiority. A prominent rose grower, 

 who has seen it growintr, says it is the only rose he has ever seen that needs no 

 advertising; it sells itself.
