Mrs. Chas. Knopf 



A grand variety; comes Into bloom early and remains steady the balance of the season. 

 One of the best varieties that has ever been introduced, and bound to surpass the grand 

 old variety, Enchantress, from which It Is a seedling. Desortptlon:— The flower is 4^4 

 inches and over, with a better form than Enchantress, well built up in the center and has a wide guard petal, with stiflness that gives it a 

 grand make-up in general. Having much more substance and the petals being stlfFer, It keeps and ships much better than the above 

 variety. The calyx is very stiflE and large, giving the flower a chance to develop freely, and does not burst as much as Enchantress. 

 The habit is ideal, closely resembles Enchantress, but produces more flowers. Can be grown either from the field or inside all summer. 

 Likes a temperature of 60 to 52. The stem is 24 inches and over, and holds the flower up gracefully at all times of the year. It gives one 

 good stems the first crop. One of the grandest yet sent out and is bound to surpass the old variety. Enchantress. 



Beautiful scarlet-crimson, one of the best ever sent out. Does not turn black with age or after shipping. The size of 

 the flower is 8 to 8^ inches, with a grand form, built up well in the center, having the most substance of any flower we 

 know of. One of the best shippers and keepers. The calyx is short, but of tough texture and well expanded, giving the 

 flower freedom to expand. The habit is ideal; easy to handle: does well from field or grown inside all summer. Temperature, 60 to 52. 

 Very free producer and continuing throughout the season. The stem is 24 to 30 inches, and the first crop is very stiff, but holds up 

 the flower gracefully at all times of the year. This variety is sure to give satisfaction and find a place among the standards.

formalin gets low, and the lower tank 

 has a gauge at the top to show when 

 the water gets too high. From the bot- 

 tom of the formalin tank a ^-inch pipe 

 goes down to meet the pipe from the 

 waterworks, running into the bottom of 

 the lower tank. Connecting the end of 

 the ^,-inch pipe with the waterworks 

 pipe are a needle valve to regulate the 

 flow of formalin and another glass gauge 

 to show that the formalin is running 

 properly. 



The formalin and water are mixed in 

 the lower part of the lower tank by the 

 moving water coming in continuously 

 and the mixture runs out about one- 

 third of the way up, back into the water- 

 works system. The apparatus is con- 

 nected to the regular watering system 

 through a by-pass. 



In order to get the right proportions 

 of formalin and water, run fifty gallons 

 of 'water through the apparatus and 

 time it, and then regulate the needle 

 valve to run out two pounds in the same 

 time. An air pump is needed to force 

 air into the upper tank, to force back 

 the water in the lower tank when it gets 

 too full. 



"With this apparatus one man can ap- 

 ply the mixture as fast as the water 

 runs.

Two Grand New Roses 



Every Grower Needs 



My Maryland White Killarney 



The greatest pink rose grown 

 today, and it is conservative to 

 say that it will at least be a strong 

 rival of Killarney. Many grow- 

 ers think it will displace Kil- 

 larney. It is free from mildew at 

 all times. Fine shaped bud; firm, 

 full, free. Easiest grown rose 

 in cultivation. 



S>^-in. pots, $10.00 per 100; 

 $90.00 per 1000. 



Delivery, January 1 to March 

 1, 1909. 



This is a sport from the Pink 

 Killarney, and is identical in 

 form and habit with that variety, 

 differing only in its pure white 

 color. It has been carefully 

 grown and only the very best 

 wood selected for propagating; 

 the result of this treatment is 

 seen in the remarkable vigor of 

 our growers' plants.
