GRAFTED ROSES 



FOR GREENHOUSE PLANTING 



We shall begin to graft roses the week of December 1 and shall start on orders already on our 

 files. After these orders have been completed, we shall be ready to graft your requirements. Or- 

 ders needed for delivery the last of February and early in March must be placed NOW if deliveries 

 are to be prompt. We have our usual supply of Manetti from our usual sources of supply and at bet- 

 ter prices than have prevailed for some years. This saving in Manetti costs will be reflected in our 

 prices for plants. 



Pilgrim and Crusader entail more losses of stock than any other varieties, 

 be $25.00 per 100; $240.00 per 1000. 



Columbia Ophelia 



Mme. Butterfly My Maryland 



Milady Premier 



On these two sorts our price will 



Double White Killarney 

 Mrs. Aaron Ward 

 White KiUamey 



are the best Roses of commerce. Our price for these varieties, grafted, will be $25.00 per 100; $220.00 per 1000. 

 Grafted Roses pay and the grafting of roses for the commercial trade is a big industry in itself here at 

 Cromwell. We shall put 10,000 per day into the cases anti the question is — when do you want yours? 



OUTDOOR ROSES 



We have available 50,000 home-grown Multiflora Japonica stock which is just right for grafting out-of-door 

 sorts. We have, in addition to the varieties mentioned above: 



Radiance Red Radiance Mrs. Charles Bell 



Jonkheer Mock Lady Alice Stanley Lady Pirrie 



Los Angeles 

 and other good out-of-door roses. We can graft these for you for spring shipment on Multifiora Japonica or on 

 Manetti, as you prefer, and deliver them as early as you want them after March 1, or when the ground opens 

 and you are ready to plant. Our price for these sorts on either root stock from 2ki-inch pots will be $25,00 per 

 $100; $220.00 per 1000. •* i- *- 



BABY RAMBLERS 



We have propagated, this fall, thousands of own-root Baby Ramblers: 

 Mrs. Cutbush Orleans 



Triomphe Orleanais Edith Cavell 



Erna Teschendorff 

 These, for winter or springy delivery, from 2j4-inch pots, at $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1000.

Ellen Poulsen 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



These are a big feature of our young plant department. 



There has been no better new one in years than "White Surprise." It is a large, fine commercial white, ready 

 to cut November 5 to 10. Rooted cuttings, for February and later, $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per 100. 



December Beauty Sunbeam 



Rose Perfection Glorious 



are the best of the other new commerciaj, large-flowered sorts. Rooted cuttings, $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. 

 The Chadwick family. Golden Chadwick, Chadwick Supreme and Indian Summer, are the four finest varieties 

 m existence for those who want late Mums and who can grow them well. We are always booked to the limit 

 on these sorts in spite of the 20,000 stock plants of these varieti-es alone. Rooted Cuttings, from February until Tune 

 $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. j j > 



POMPON VARIETIES 



We have seen the possibilities in these sorts and have followed the market very closely. Our own seedlings 

 and the varieties selected and introduced by us have held to the top of the cut flower market for years and this 

 season our seedlings have carried an average price on the market nearly 50% above the price of the named sorts 

 ot commerce We planted 45,000 plants of seventy seedlings. Some will, naturally, be discarded, buf we shall save 

 * A u^ J ^^^^'^^^ y^^J^'s growing in quantity. Four of these have been named and will be offered to the 

 trade. Hundreds of visiting florists have seen them and approve the selection. They have been widely exhibited 

 and are in a class by themselves— the best four varieties for the commercial grower that we know: 



New York 



Louise Davenport 



Sarah Townsend 

 make a succession of the bronze button type that will hold the market from November 1 to December 1 Novem- 

 Der Lrold, the finest yellow of them all, is a strong-stemmed, upright grower that is equaled by no other variety 

 It nowers trom November 1 to 15 and is a wonderful keeper, either cut or on the plant. 

 Rooted Cuttings of these four varieties, $15.00 per 100; $140.00 per 1000. 



Our complete list will be published later, but these varieties mentioned are the ones that you certainly need 

 ihis is no year to grow poor varieties and no year in which to lessen production by planting poor plants.
