Every Florisf who Plants a Rose fornWinter Forcing wants at least Six Qualit'es 



The folloMring^ testimonials are from some of the most 

 critical men in the trade in New York: 



New York, Jan. 7, 1908. 



Mr. W. P. Craig, Forty-ninth and Market streets, Philadelphia, Pa. 



1 have deferred writing to you regarding the pink rose Mrs. Jardlne In order 

 to give It a thorough trial. I have this to say about it: I find it an excellent keeper, 

 that Its color remains true, and without a particle of doubt it will 1111 a long-felt want. 

 It Is in Itself a dignified rose; its color Is of the most refined pink, it seems to 

 Improve in use, its odor Is sweet and refreshing and my only regret is that it is not 

 in the market at the present time. Yours sincerely, CHAHLES THORLEY. 



New York, Jan. 17, 1908. 

 Mr. W. P. Craig, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Dear Sir: We wish to thank you very much for the samples of rose, Mrs. 

 Jardine, sent to us. We certainly think It is a line addition to the rose family, and 

 in point of fragrance is queen of them all. We find after keeping these roses two 

 or three days they are really in better shape than the time we received them, and 

 think it should certainly become very popular. With kind regards, we remain 



Yours truly, TRAENULY & SCHENCK. 



New York, Jan. 16, 1908. 

 Mr. William P. Craig. Philadelphia, Pa. 



Dear Sir: We cannot too highly commend your new rose, Mrs. Jardlne. The 

 samplle cluster which we had In our window two days, then shipped to Washington, 

 is still in perfect condition, and the color Is as clear and true pink as when first 

 received. In color, foliage, length of stem, fragrance and durability Mrs. Jardlne 

 leaves nothing to be desired. Vecy truly yours, J. H. SMALL & SONS. 



Washington, D. C, Jan. 18, 1908. 

 The Mrs. Jardlne roses specified above are still In excellent condition; their 

 quality and durability are without precedent. J. H. SMALL & SONS. 



New York, Jan. 16, 1908. 

 Mr. William P. Craig, 1305 Filbert street, Philadelphia. Pa. 



Dear Sir: Pardon delay in replying to yours. Regarding the new rose, Mrs. 

 Jardine, I have been desirous of thoroughly testing this new introduction to the rose 

 family and to be better able to criticise its characteristics. I regard Mrs. Jardlne as 

 possessing most excellent qualities. The rich pink shade in the hud, becoming a 

 lighter color as the rose develops, together with its delightful fragrance, gives It 

 very pleasing attributes, and consequently it is a most desirable acquisition. The 

 strong wood, which is nearly thornless, together with the bright, vigorous foliage, is 

 Invaluable and commendable to the retail florist. Its durability and lasting qualities 

 when cut (very necessary characteristics for success) are almost unrivaled. 



Respectfully, ALEXANDER McCONNELL. 



New York, Jan. 9, 1908. 

 Mr. W. P. Craig. 1305 FUbert street, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Dear Sir: We find the Madame Jardine rose excellent in every way, opening 

 very double and holding Its color exceedingly well. It has a color which is a very 

 true pink and a most popular shade. Its stem shows very good strength until the 

 last, and the size and color of the foliage are very good. Thanking you again for 

 the samples of this splendid rose, we remain Very truly yours, 



GEORGE M. STUMPP. 



New York, Oct. 16, 1907. 

 Messrs. Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill. Delaware Countj', Pa. 



Gentlemen: At the meeting held Monday evening, Oct. 14, the vase Mrs. Jardlne 

 exhibited was greatly admired and was awarded a preliminary certificate by our 

 committee on awards. I wish to add that I placed some of these blooms In my win- 

 dow Tuesday morning, and they were Indeed a great attraction. It is one of the 

 most pleasing roses I have seen in years, and I prophesy a great future for It. 

 Yours very truly, JOHN YOUNG, Secretary. 



passing unanimously, in December, the award committee of tlie New 

 amlnation of the erowlnK plants, with, a score of 03 points. 



A free, strong^ g^row^th, w^ith good 

 foliag^e. 



A variety that can be easily gro-wa. 



LiArge flo^eers on long stems. 



Delicious fragrance. 



Distinct, pleasing color that w^ill 

 sell at sight. 



A Rose that w^ill hold its color in 



the dull days of December 



and January. 



MRS. JARDINE has all these char- 

 acterietics, and, in addition, is of so 

 perfect a fotm that it can be used either 

 in the bud or half expanded flower. The 

 color is a bright rosy pink, shading in 

 the outer petals to salmon pink, and, 

 even in January when Bridesmaids and 

 Killarney lose their color, Mrs. Jar> 

 dine is as bright as in October or March. 



MRS. JARDINE is not a chance 

 seedling, but was raised by Messrs. Alex- 

 ander Dickson & Sons, Newtownards, 

 Ireland. This firm has not only given 

 us Liberty and Killarney, but has sent 

 out more new roses of merit than any 

 other Kosarians in the world. Over two 

 years ago we spent three weeks in their 

 trial grounds, and from three thousand 

 seedlings we selected thirty-five varieties 

 that we thought would be successful in 

 this country for winter forcing. After 

 testing these for two years we have se- 

 lected one— MRS. JARDINE— which 

 has with us, and which we think will 

 with all good roses growers, fulfil all the 

 qualities as stated above. 



We extend a cordial invitation to 

 everyone interested in this new Rose to 

 visit our Nurseries and see it growing. 

 We have it both own roots and grafted 

 plants, and in all stages of growth. As 

 the demand for this superb novelty will 

 be very large, kindly place your orders 

 early, as we fill in rotation in March, 

 1908.
