NEWEST ROSES, 1914 
Connoisseurs will recognize in our 1914 list of Newest Roses such an array of prize-win- 
ning varieties as we have never before been able to offer so promptly after their introduction. 
WEST GROVE, P 
ENN 
With eyes kept fixed on the Novelty output of the leading Rose-growers in every part of 
the world, we pursue earnestly our endeavor to procure for the benefit of our customers every- 
thing of promise. Most of these demand further trial before being offered at all, but an intimate 
knowledge of the extensive birthplace tests made of the Roses while yet unnamed, and results of 
the European and American Exhibitions, enable us to offer, out of the total of 140 introductions 
of the past twelve months, 14 that have already distinguished themselves as superior varieties. 
‘ Please realize that the original supply of these highly honored Novelties is yet so limited 
in proportion to the demand as to make the following prices reasonable. 
NOTE.—tThe following famous Novelties are still so new in commerce that we must offer them here, in most 
cases, subject to safe arrival from abroad. They are to be strong, field-grown plants, not on their own roots, as are 
most of the C. & J. Roses, but budded or grafted. Care, therefore, must be taken to plant so as to cover the joint, 
and in case a shoot of the wild Rose appears later from the root, it is easily cut out, as it may be readily distinguished 
by seven small, narrow leaves instead of five large leaves. All Roses in this catalogue, except those on pages 12 and 
13, or otherwise noted, are grown on their own roots.
