SOME VALUABLE 

 NEW ROSES 



For 1912 



Flower lovers all over the country are tired of having 

 to buy just two or three kinds of roses and are wanting 

 and demanding something different, even if they do have 

 to pay more for them. 



The rose growers who realize this and are awake to 

 the fact that novelties are going to be very much more in 

 demand all the time are making no mistake in going into 

 the newer meritorious introductions,. 



We have never had a larger or better variety to offer 

 than our list for 1912. 



DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY 



The Budlong Strain 1912 



With its stronger, more vigorous growth, larger and heavier 

 flowers, double the petalage and purer white, is a tremendous 

 improvement over White Killarney, and is sure to be a money- 

 maker not only for winter forcing but for summer growing. We 

 recommend it as being the very best commercial white rose today. As a summer rose, it is such an improve- 

 ment over Kaiserin that some of the larger growers are going to discard Kaiserin for Double White Killarney. 



KILLARNEY QUEEN 



The Budlong Strain 1912 



Is about three shades darker than Pink Killarney, and during dark and cloudy weather the color does not 

 fade, but remains a bright, deep, rich pink. It is of very much more vigorous growth than Killarney, even 

 a stronger grower than Double White Killarney. Flowers are about twice as large as Pink Killarney, about 

 the same petalage and borne on tremendously heavy, long stems, larger and heavier foliage. Many consider 

 this rose in the American Beauty class, its habit, growth and size are so vigorous and far ahead of Pink 

 Killarney.
