HENDERSON'S 



CUTtfWWEBL" COLLECTION 



OF HARDY EVER-BLOOMING HOSES 



SEE COLORED PLATE OPPOSITE 



In the "Cut-Flower" Collection of Roses, shown in colors on the opposite page, we 

 group together six of the most popular Roses now before the public. Richmond was 

 introduced in 1905 and is still one of the best of its color. The others are of recent 

 introduction. So quickly has their merit won for them a place in popular esteem that they 

 are now grown by the million annually for cut flowers. They all do splendidly in the garden, 

 well established plants producing large flowers on long stems, freely and continuously throughout the season. Even the 

 flower the first season, but the larger sizes will, of course, produce more and larger blossoms. We will send free with 

 our pamplet on "The Garden Culture of the Rose," which gives full detailed instructions on planting and care.

A Beautiful Yellow Rose 



LADY HILLINGDON 



No. 1 



Among the many Roses introduced in recent years there are none, in our 

 opinion, which are liable to have a wider popularity than this. It is grown 

 extensively for cut flowers and does splendidly in the garden. The color is 

 bright saffron-yellow with coppery-orange shades. The buds are long and 

 pointed. Of fine branching habit and ideal growth; it forms a model bush Rose. 

 Because of its free blooming qualities, delightful fragrance and healthy consti- 

 tution, it must rank as one of the best garden Roses. 



Price, 1st size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 

 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



Hardy Ever-Blooming Garden Rose 



No. 2 KILLARNEY QJJEEN 



A bright cerise-pink "sport" of the famous Killarney that is stronger in growth 

 and much brighter in color. The buds are long and beautifully formed, the open 

 flower is graceful in the extreme. It is of vigorous growth making heavy shoots 

 which are crowned with buds. The foliage is abundant and of splendid sub- 

 stance, a dark healthy green. In addition to being an unusual forcing Rose, 

 this variety is a decided improvement on the Killarney as a garden variety. 



Price, 1st size, 75c. each, S7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 

 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



"For several years we have been endeavoring to establish a Rose garden, but it 

 was not until we secured plants from Peter Henderson cV Co. that we had any 

 success, owing to our clay soil and severe winters. By carefully following the 

 instructions in the 'Garden Culture of the Rose' we have yet to lose a bush secured 

 from the above firm. In dealing with other houses we were often disappointed — 

 ordered a white Rose which bloomed pink; a perpetual which gives us flowers in the 

 month of June only and a Tea Rose which proved to be a single wild Rose. We can 

 say with satisfaction that every Rose from Peter Henderson 6° Co. bloomed true to 

 description and type, an added feature being their durability as cut flowers. 



During the past two years we have had Roses every day from the first of June 

 until the last of October when Jack Frost nipped the remaining buds." 



Aug. 21, 1913. Mrs. LORETTA GAGER, Carlisle, Ohio.

Hardy Ever-Blooming Red Rose 



MILADY 



One of the most beautiful Roses produced in years. The color is a brilliant 

 crimson-scarlet. As the buds expand the vivid coloring disclosed is very attract- 

 ive. The form of the open flower is splendid, not too double, it remains long in 

 good condition. The growth is upright; the stems long, holding the flowers 

 well erect. It is a free bloomer and delightfully fragrant. The foliage is dark 

 green and very ornamental. 



Price, 1st size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, S6.00 per doz.; 

 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



White Ever-Blooming Rose 



No. 4 DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY 



A pure white "sport" from the pink Killarney; equal to it in all the good 

 points of the latter, superior to it in some. One strong point of superiority is 

 that it has more petals than the parent variety, and these petals are of greater 

 substance, so it is of greater value for outdoor bedding. The buds and flowers 

 are beautiful beyond description; many consider it easily the finest white garden 

 Rose in cultivation. 



Price, 1st size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 

 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



Pink Ever-Blooming Rose 



No. 5 MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER 



This variety possesses the irresistible combination of size, fragrance, perfect 

 form and color. It is a brilliant pink which shows up wonderfully under artificial 

 light. The buds are long and pointed and open perfectly at all seasons. The 

 flowers, borne on long stiff stems with superb foliage, are very durable under all 

 conditions. Because of its freedom of growth and bloom, this variety is destined, 

 we believe, to take a leading place among the garden varieties. 



Price, 1st size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 

 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 25c. each, S2.50 per doz. 



A Splendid Crimson Rose 



No. 6 RICHMOND 



This splendid variety was raised by one of the leading Rose 

 growers in America and at once became very popular for winter 

 flowering, not only in this country but abroad. At the present time 

 it is the best known and the most extensively grown Hybrid 

 Tea Rose of its color. It blooms as freely as the freest of the 

 Monthly Roses; very easy to grow, splendid foliage, long stems. 

 The color is magnificent, a gorgeous scarlet-crimson, very vivid 

 and rich. In the garden the flowers are very lasting, the color 

 remaining clear and bright to the very last. Delightfully fragrant. 



Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 2d size, 50c. each, $5.00 

 per doz.; 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz.
