Five Dainty 



Cutflower Singles 



Single Roses have an appeal to many who are enthralled by their 

 artistic beauty. More and more gardeners include Single Roses 

 for their simple beauty that adds a sublime feature to the garden. 

 Single Roses also lend themselves exceptionally well to cutting and 

 when properly arranged in a suitable container they present a 

 picture, the like of which is not easily obtained with most other 

 cutting material. We have selected five varieties which we con- 

 sider the most outstanding from every angle. 



Dainty Bess 



Cecil. A very free-flowering single Rose and the only good yellow 

 in existence. The blooms are a glorious Buttercup yellow, well 

 displayed by the fine, large, broad petals. 



Dainty Bess. An exceedingly charming and daintily colored 

 single Rose of perfect form. The broad petals are delicate shell 

 pink which form a beautiful contrast to the conspicuous bunch 

 of crimson stamens. It is always greatly admired for its charm 

 and loveliness and the blooms last exceptionally long. 



Innocence. Out of tapering buds come enormous pure white 

 blooms with twelve petals arranged around the center composed 

 of wine red stamens tipped with golden yellow anthers. 



Irish Fireflame. One cannot pass this glorious variety without 

 stopping to admire the rich deep orange petals which are 

 splashed with crimson, expanding to satiny gold. Splendid for 

 cutting with five or more flowers to a spray. 



K. of K. (Kitchener of Khartoum). An exceptionally free flower- 

 ing variety with brilliant scarlet buds opening to lovely blooms 

 of a ghstening scarlet color. Has several rows of petals to a 

 flower. Very effective. 



Any of the above: 85c each; $9.00 per doz.
