GRAFTED ROSES 



FOR GREENHOUSE PLANTING 



V 



We began to graft roses the first week of this month and have started 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. On these two sorts our price will 

 be $25.00 p«r 100; $240.00 per 1000. 



Columbia Ophelia Double White Killamey 



Mme. Butterfly My Maryland Mrs. Aaron Ward 



Milady Premier White Killamey 



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 and 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 Multiflora 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 2J4-Jnch pots will be $25.00 per 

 100; $220.00 per 1000. 



BABY RAMBLERS 



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



Mrs. Cutbush Orleans Jessie 



Triompfae Orleanais Edith Cavell EUen Poulsen 



Ema Teschendorfif 

 These, for winter or spring delivery, from 2J4-inch pots, at $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1000. 



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 Smibeam 



Rose Perfection Glorious 



are the best of the other new commercial, 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 

 in 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 varieties alone. Rooted Cuttings, from February until June, 

 $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. 



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 

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

 50 of these for another year'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 arc in a class by themselves — the best four varieties for the commercial grower that we know: 



New York 



Louise Davenport 



Sarah Townsend 



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

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

 It flowers from 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. 

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