NEWEST ROSES, 1917) 
Our 1917 list of Newest Roses contains the choicest of the prize-winning varieties that we predict will rank high 
among the leaders in their class and color for years to come 


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 everything 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 the results of the Euro- 
pean and American Exhibitions, enable us to offer, out of the total introductions of the past twelve months, 8 that have already dis- 
tinguished themselves as superior varieties. 
Please realize that the original supply of these highly honored Novel- 
ties is yet so limited in proportion to the demand as to make the follow- 
ing prices reasonable. 




























aay Note.—The following famous Novelties are still so new in commerce 
| that we must offer them here, in most cases, subject to safe arrival 
J from abroad. With the exception of Hugonis, 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.
