New Rose, Killarney Brilliant 



THE MOST VALUABLE ROSE INTRODUCED IN MANY YEARS. 



We consider this new rose — a sport from the original pink Killarney 

 — the most valuable rose that has been introduced in many years. It 

 is well named Killarney Brilliant, on account of its brilliant color. 



It is a great improvement on the original pink Killarney; first, because 

 of its much more brilliant color, it being almost crimson in bright 

 weather, while in midwinter — in dull, cloudy and foggy weather, — when 

 the original pink Killarney loses its brilliancy and becomes badly faded, 

 Killarney Brilliant is as bright and deep a pink as the original variety 

 at its best. In addition to its great superiority in color, the flower is 

 almost twice as large, having from twenty-five to forty full-sized petals. 



It has the same desirable color that Killarney Queen possesses, but 

 has double the number of petals, making it a very double and a fuller 

 flower; and it is also very much more productive, having the same 

 habit of growth and the same freedom of bloom as its parent. 



We have watched Killarney Brilliant growing during the past win- 

 ter, planted in the same house with the original and the double pink 

 Killarney, and when those varieties faded so as to be almost unmarket- 

 able, Killarney Brilliant was superb. We are thoroughly convinced that 

 it will immediately supplant the original Killarney as the standard mar- 

 ket variety, and that every up-to-date grower will be compelled to plant 

 it, on account of its great superiority. A prominent rose grower, who 

 has seen it growing, says it is the only rose he has ever seen that needs 

 no advertising; it sells itself.
