ROSES for 1915 



FKANCIS SCOTT KEY 



An American seedling raised by Mr. John Cook, the raiser of Cardinal, 

 Radiance and other fine Roses. It is a seedling of Cardinal crossed with an 

 unnamed crimson -seedling and is a grand acquisition to our red Roses. A 

 strong sturdy grower whether planted out in the open or on benches in the 

 greenhouse. The flowers are.a deep red, of largest size, with finely formed petals 

 of great substance. The stems are strong and straight, holding the flowers erect. 

 The profusion of bloom is truly marvellous, every shoot producing a flower. 

 We have every confidence that this grand new variety will attain the widest 

 popularity as an outdoor bedding Rose on account of its free habit, superb 

 color and fine double flowers. 



Price,. 1st size, $1.00 each; 2d size, 75c. each; 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 50c. 

 each, $5.00 per doz. 



HADLEY 



In the Hadley we have a Rose that possesses a rich and lasting crims on color, 

 coupled with vigor of growth, robust constitution, and free blooming 

 habit. It will be welcomed alike by the grower who forces Roses 

 under glass for cut flowers, and the one who plants outdoors 

 for summer flowers. It is a development of a strain of 

 red Roses, including Liberty, Gen. McArthur and 

 Richmond. The color is magnificent, rich velvety- 

 crimson, retaining its brilliancy throughout the 

 season. The fragrance is delightful and refresh- 

 ing. The flowers are borne on long stems and 

 keep in good condition a long time when cut. 

 The growth is splendid, sturdy and healthy 

 the foliage large and abundant. 



Price, 1st size, $1.00 each; 2d size, 75c. 

 each; 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 50c. each, 

 $5.00 per doz. 



OUR THIRD SIZE ROSES 



ARE GROWN IN THREE -INCH POTS 



They are superior to the young Roses 

 from 2-inch pots usually sent out because 

 the larger pot gives ample room for root 

 action and allows the plant to grow 

 naturally. They are sturdy and compact 

 and when sent by express with the soil 

 on the roots, transplanting scarcely 

 checks their growth. 



In the cut below we show a fair sample 

 of a 2-inch pot plant as usually sent out 

 by the mail trade and a fair sample 

 taken from our stock growing in a 3-inch 

 pot.

Mme. edouard herriot 



_ This variety gained great prominence in Europe as the "Daily Mail Rose," 

 having won the Daily Mail cup offered for the finest new Rose at the Inter- 

 national Rose Exhibition in England in 1912. It is a wonderful Rose. The 

 combination of color shown in the buds and flowers is distinct and charming. 

 In the bud it is coral-red shaded with yellow at the base, the open flowers coral- 

 red shaded with yellow and bright rosy-scarlet, passing to shrimp-red; flowers of 

 medium size, well formed and not too full. The plant is a most vigorous grower, 

 of a spreading, branching habit, with ample bronzy-green foliage. 

 Price, 1st size, $1.50 each; 2d size, $1.00 each.

 reflexed tips. The backs of the petals are heavily veined with 

 crimson-maroon.

to delicate orange in the fully opened 



flower. Deliriously fragrant. A grand 



Rose that should be in every garden.

 Tea Rose. In the bud it is particu- 

 larly attractive. The color is a vivid 

 orange - red , with coppery - red and 

 apricot shadings. A gem for cut flowers, 

 the blooms lasting a long time in per- 

 fect condition. _ The healthy , glossy , 

 bronze-green foliage forms a delightful 

 contrast to the rich coloring of the 

 flowers. It is sweet scented, very free 

 flowering, a good grower and almost 

 mildew proof.

 the well known Frau Karl Druschki crossed 

 with an unnamed light pink seedling, and 

 was raised by Mr. John Cook. It is a healthy 

 grower carrying the flowers on long stems, 

 remarkably free blooming and fragrant. The 

 color is delicate rosy flesh, very soft in the 

 center, and shaded with a lighter flesh at 

 the ends of the petals. The judges for the 

 American Rose Society thought so well of 

 this variety at the Hartford Rose Test 

 Garden that they awarded a Silver Medal 

 for it. (See cut.)
