SfeSY ROSES 



We have ever offered 



CRUSADER. (Montgomery.) A big, strong-growing variety, robust and rugged in every characteristic. 

 The growth is ^eavy and the flower stems are strong and heavy, producing very little blind wood. It is free 

 growing and free flowering, and the blooms are truly characteristic of the variety — big and double, and, in 

 color, a rich, velvety crimson. These large, heavily petaled blooms open perfectly and are amply supported 

 by the strong-necked, heavy flower growths. Crusader takes water well and will keep under almost any condi- 

 tions. The plant is free from canker and does not show any tendency to die at the union of scion and stock. 

 It breaks freely from the hard wood and is a strong-growing, free-flowering red Rose. 



If you want a real winner, vou 

 • should buy Crusader NOW.

PILGRIM. (Montgomery.) In color, a beautiful shade of bright rose-pink. The bud, which opens per- 

 fectly, is long and of ideal form. Pilgrim is a Rose of good substance and petalage, and at any stage of devel- 

 opment is perfect in color and form of flower. Its pronoimced tea fragrance will attract all rose lovers. It is 

 prolific and highly productive of first quality blooms. The stems are straight and strong, and there is no tend- 

 ency to weaken at the neck. It takes water freely, and this quality makes it a good Rose for the -store man, 

 as it will keep when cut and re- 

 tain its color and fragrance. It 



is a wonderful grower, propa- ^»?*s^ ^^^^^^^^KL "^l.^^ ¥-»•■

 great extent. It is the pink Rose 

 to grow.
