15 NEWEST ROSES, 1916 



Connoisseurs will recognize in our 1916 list of Newest Roses such an array of prize-winning varieties as we have never 



before been able to offer so promptly after their introduction 



With e^es 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 results of the European 

 and American Exhibitions, enable us to offer, out of the total introductions of the past twelve months, 15 that have already distin- 

 guished 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. — The following famous Novelties are still so new in commerce that we must ofTer 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. Practically all 

 Roses in this catalogue, except those on pages 7 to 9, are grown on their own roots.
