The New Queen of Red Roses 



The color is a new and brilliant red. The petals 

 are large (see illustration), and soft and velyety in 

 texture. 



Leaves are large, well shaped and rich green in color. 



Its shipping and keeping qualities are remarkable. 

 A dozen specimen roses were brought by train from 

 Champaign to Chicago, taken to several places, in- 

 spected and Anally left lying on a de^k in our office. 

 Though in bloom when finally put in water and 

 placed in our refrigerator, we 

 found them closed to buds in thc 

 morning. 



Mrs. Sarah Teats is not an 



experimental rose, but one that 

 has been successfully produced 

 under ordinary greenhouse con- 

 ditions. 



This photographic reproduction 

 shows the actual size of the 

 bloom on the Mrs. Sarah Yeats 

 rose. 



Stems run from eighteen to forty-two inches 

 long without pinching.
