AUTUMN, 1920 • PLANT YOUR ROSES NOW 



Twelve Choice Everblooming Roses 



FOR FALL PLANTING 



Some eminent Rose-growers prefer fall plant- 

 ing, but the time for getting the Roses dug, 

 shipped, and replanted before the ground 

 freezes is rather limited, inasmuch as the 

 plants must not be moved before they are 

 thoroughly ripened — about the first of 

 Novernber. We expect to ship early in 

 November but if you live in the northern 

 tier of states you should cover your Rose- 

 bed with litter or straw to prevent freez- 

 ing until your plants arrive. We are for- 

 tunate in having a list of the finest kinds 

 to offer and when your plants are set 

 out, protect them as directed below. 



By planting now you will be ahead of 

 people who defer planting until spring, 

 and your plants will be starting to grow when 

 theirs are being planted. 



•COLUMBIA. (H.T.) A deliciously fragrant 

 new Rose which produces its flowers on 

 long, strong, almost thornless shoots, 

 making it especially useful for cutting. 

 The color is a deep, brilliant rose-pink and 

 sometimes the blooms measure 5 to 6 in- 

 ches across. Price $1.50 each n 



:*OPHELIA. (See cut.) Color is salmon- 

 flesh, shaded with rose. The blooms come 

 on strong stems, and the perfectly formed 

 flowers, with their strong, firm petals, are 

 very lasting when cut. A favorite with 

 everyone who grows it, and we recom- 

 mend it highly. (See price below.) 



*ETOILE DE FRANCE (Star of France). 



(H.T.) Flower is fully double, intensely fra- 

 grant and brilliant, velvety crimson in color. 

 The medium-sized blooms are produced in pro- 

 fusion on strong, upright canes making this an 

 exceptional variety for bedding. It lasts well 

 when cut. (See price below.) 



•GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. (H.T.) The color is dark, 

 rich crimson, passing to velvety, fiery red. One 

 of the brightest colored Roses we know. Flow- 

 ers are large, and very sweet. A most popular 

 Rose, as it blooms almost continuously. (See 

 price below.) 



•KILLARNEY. (H.T.) Somewhere on your 

 grounds, arrange for an entire bed of Killarneys. 

 Other Roses will please, but Killarney will en- 

 chant you with its wealth of imperial pink 

 flowers, for this is one of the most free-blooming 

 Roses in the Hybrid Tea Class. In bud form 

 it is particularly pleasing as the petals are very 

 long, making the long-shaped graceful buds now 

 so much in demand. (See price below.) 



*LA FRANCE. (H.T.) This is probablv the most 

 popular Rose in cultivation. Both buds and 

 flowers are of lovely form and grand size, ex- 

 ceedingly sweet; color fine peach-blossom, 

 elegantly clouded with rosy flesh. Begins to 

 bloom early in the season, and continues bear- 

 ing until stopped by freezing weather.

*MME. CAROLINE TESTOUT. (H.T.) The 

 great bedding Rose. A grand variety, with large, 

 full flowers and handsome buds which resemble 

 the famous La France Rose, but the color is 

 clear rich pink, finely edged with silvery rose. 



*MAMAN COCHET, PINK. (T.) The flowers are 

 very full and of great depth and substance. Color 

 rich coral-pink, elegantly shaded with rosy crim- 

 son; has broad, thick, shell-like petals and pro- 

 duces flowers the whole growing season. 



*MAMAN COCHET, WHITE. (T.) A splendid 

 Rose; has all the good qualities of Pink Maman 

 Cochet, but is pure snow-white, with outside 

 petals tipped pink in the autumn. 



*MRS. STOTESBURY. (H.T.) A strong-grow- 

 ing, free-flowering new Rose, producing large, 

 very double flowers of coral-rose and light sal- 

 mon. (See price below.) 



•RICHMOND. (H.T.) A strong-growing Rose 

 that blooms almost continuously. It is brilliant 

 crimson-scarlet in color and very beautiful in 

 bud form. It is not very double, but of brilliant 

 color, strong growth, and free-flowering habit. 



•WHITE KILLARNEY. (H.T.) In form, size, 

 and freedom of bloom, this Rose is the same as 

 the famous Pink Killarney, of which it is a sport, 

 but it is more double and the flowers are pure 

 waxy white, large and fragrant.
