Pot Grown Plants for Shipment During 

 March, April, May and June 



The Cream of the Older Sorts and the Best of the New 



Our Pot-grown Koses are superior to the Roses usually sent out because they 

 am out back and potted early in the fall, giving ample time for root action and to 

 allow 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 planting, it is only necessary to make a hole a little larger than the ball of 

 earth on the plant. After it is set in, firm the soil well around the roots, other wis) 1 

 the dry air will shrivel them tip and prevent their development. 



Never set the plants out should the ground be wet and soggy, but wait until 

 it is fairly dry. After planting give the soil a thorough soaking, and should the 

 earth around the plant be dry it should be thoroughly saturated with water. 



Charles P. Kilham 



A striking novelty which will appeal to every Rose lover. The buds are pointed, 

 opening to perfectly formed full double flowers of a rich oriental red, flushed with 

 orange and glowing scarlet. A vigorous grower and sweetly tea scented. 



Dr. Edward Deacon 



A variety that will charm every lover of a real good rose, color at the margin 

 of the petals a delicate tint of shrimp pink gradually merging to a deep salmon- 

 orange towards the base. A fine full flower that has good lasting qualities. 



Golden Dawn 



An ideal garden rose of Australian origin. The buds are lemon yellow, heavily 

 splashed with crimson but open into splendidly shaped full flowers which remind 

 one of the old favorite Marechal Neil. 



Mrs. Sam McGredy 



A New Rose which is now offered for the first time in this country. The color is a 

 combination of vivid shades. A scarlet coppery orange is heavily flushed with 

 Lincoln red on the outside of the petals, and these colors together give a dazzling 

 effect, which is particularly brilliant in sunshine. The flowers are large and possess 

 the proper fulness to make them useful for all purposes. They are delicately 

 scented. Awarded Certificate of Merit of the National Rose Society of England.

 buds arc a deep scarlet carmine opening to large fragrant blooms that shade from 

 orange at the base of the petals to rich carmine at the edges. See illustration.
