TEN EVERBLOOMING BUSH ROSES 



FROM THESE SELECTED KINDS YOU CAN HAVE ROSES THE FIRST YEAR FROM JUNE TILL FROST 



First Come Best Served, and Why 



BECAUSE Roses are scarce — more scarce than we have ever known them to be. We estimate that 

 there are on the average, three purchasers for every Rose that will be offered for American gardens 

 this coming spring, and even Mexico is coming back to us for large quantities of Roses, as in pre 

 war times. 



But it is not the increase in demand so much as the short supply that prompts us to warn our 

 patrons of exact conditions — Roses are scarce for many reasons: 



1st. The Federal Horticultural Board (Quarantine 37) have erected an embargo barrier which 

 shuts out from America (except Novelties) all foreign-grown Roses. These imports in the past 

 amounted to over 3,000,000 Roses a year, according to census reports. 



2d. The supply of American-grown Roses is far below normal, due to wartime and post-war- 

 time conditions, viz.: Government 50 per cent restriction on coal; deflection of labor in the North 

 to strictly war work, and in the South to growing high-priced cotton, left growers the alternative 

 of paying prohibitive prices for labor or reducing their output, and, the output was reduced. 

 Today Roses are scarce, there is no doubt oj iJiat. Fortunately, for us, we expect to have our full quota 

 of stock; we foresaw the situation and supplemented our own supply early. We believe we shall be 

 prepared to fill all orders as usual, but we are thus forewarning our patrons to place their orders 

 early so that stock can be reserved and sent at right planting-time. 



Another point, which all know, is the "reduced purchasing power of the dollar." We know we could 

 get more money for Roses than we ask; our business needs it, and at the present cost of living, our workers 

 need it. On the other hand, we know that our workers cannot benefit (and everyone of us here are 

 workers) unless we first benefit our patrons. Every solid business is founded on that law, but what means 

 quite as much to us is to attain our ambition and cherished desire — that C. <y J. patrons shall get the best 

 that their money will buy in any market, that is why our prices are not higher. 



Nursery agents, as a rule, where found today, are offering Roses for sale at $1.50 to ^2 each. The 

 Roses listed below are as large or finer, and you can order easily by mail for only $1.25 each, or at 

 $1 each, ii you order 10 or more at one time. If you would get the best, don't delay, order today and 

 get Star Brand Roses.

3 Never-Fail Tea Roses 



These are Tea Roses and have been chosen as the choic- 

 est in this class. They are almost as hardy as Hybrid 

 Teas and do well in a light well-drained soil. See prices 

 at foot of the page. 



•PINK MAMAN COCHET 



The flowers are of enormous size, very full and of great 

 depth and substance. Color rich coral-pink, elegantly 

 shaded with rosy crimson; has broad, thick, shell-like 

 petals and makes superb, long-pointed buds; immense 

 bloomer, and flowers the whole season. Deliciously sweet 

 and. a hardy, vigorous grower. It ranks among the very 

 first hardy everblooming Roses. See prices below. 



•RED MAMAN COCHET (m,.. b. R. c«,t) 



7 CHOICEST HARDY 

 HYBRID -TEA ROSES 



Hybrid Tea Roses are the result obtained by crossing 

 the Hybrid Perpetuals with the Tea Roses, thus gaining 

 hardiness and strength of growth from the one and the 

 everblooming habit, also a greater variety of colors, 

 from the other. Hybrid-Teas therefore have hardiness, 

 freedom of flowering, a great range of colors, and large 

 blooms. Nearly all are intensely fragrant. See prices below. 



•KILLARNEY (!^0 



For bedding in quantity, "Killarney" is unsurpassed 

 on account of its remarkable freedom of bloom and the 

 quantities of magnificent, intensely fragrant, large- 

 petaled fl o wers whic h keep coming fre ely f rom June 

 until trost." The buds are large, long, and pomted. Color 

 is a brilliant imperial pink, beautiful almost beyond 

 description. A bed of these beauties in full bloom is a 

 sight not easily forgotten. A bouquet of these Roses is 

 always a welcome gift. Plan to include six or more 

 Killarneys in your Rose order this year and you will have 

 Roses for cutting the entire growing season. Prices below. 



•BETTY 



A Rose of unusual beauty and unique color with 

 very large, fairly full blooms, having petals often 3 to 4 

 inches long. It grows vigorously with erect, free-branch- 

 ing habit and the flowers come continuously from June till frost. The first blooms 

 are sometimes disappointing but when the plant becomes thoroughly established 

 they are simply exquisite. It is deliciously perfumed and the coppery rose color, 

 overspread with golden yellow, charms everyone who sees this flower. One of the 

 greatest Rose novelties yet introduced, -k^-yr. Star size only. See prices below. 



•CHATEAU DE CLOS VOUGEOT 



The darkest red Hybrid Tea Rose, being quite as dark but richer in color than 

 the popular Hybrid Perpetual, Prince Camille de Rohan, which, until this Rose 

 was introduced, was considered the darkest red Rose in existence. This variety 

 blooms throughout the growing season but not as freely as some others. Color is 

 rich scarlet, shaded fiery red, changing to dark velvety crimson as the flowers ex- 

 pand. It is deliciously perfumed, -k^-yr. Star size only. See prices below. 



•GRUSS AN TEPLITZ 



This is the most dependable red Rose in existence, for itsucceeds with every- 

 one and can be counted on for continuous bloom. Color is richest scarlet, shading 

 to velvety fiery crimson, always bright and attractive. In vigorof growth it is 

 unsurpassed by any other Rose in this Hybrid-Tea class as it makes heavy, 

 erect canes which produce splendid large, double, intensely fragrant flowers if the 

 plant is well nourished and kept cultivated. Poorly kept plants will pro- 

 duce only semi-double flowers. See prices below. 



•JONKHEER J. L. MOCKn^ 



The blooms of this Rose are immense and as they corne 

 freely it makes a splendid variety for bedding. The color is 

 carmine on the outside and imperial pink on the inside of 

 the petals. Two Gold Medals, one Silver Medal, and a 

 number of other awards have been given this Rose on ac- 

 count of its many superior qualities. We recommend it 

 highly. See prices below. 



•WHITE KILLARNEY 



This is a sport of Killarney with the same magnificent, 

 large, sweet flowers, long-pointed buds and freedom of 

 bloom. An excellent, snow-white cut-flower of unusual 

 beauty and always greatly admired. See prices below. 



•SUNBURST 



Like most Hybrid Teas, Sunburst makes a strong, up- 

 right growth and the enchanting orange-copper and 

 golden yellow buds and flowers come on fine, erect stems. 

 Deliciously sweet-scented. See prices below. 



A sheltered location like this is uUal mr Roses. The sunshine gets 

 full sway, as the trees are far enough from the Rose-beds to shelter 

 them without putting them in the shade. Such a location is not abso- 

 lutely necessary, but it coaxes our Lady Rosa to give of her best, and 

 in tills garden she is doing it. 



■Sj^^^Si. ^

gro ving season. Flowers are extra large, perfectly double, 

 and deliciously sweet. Color bright rose-red, elegantly 

 shaded and exceedingly beautiful. It is one of the most 

 vigorous-growing varieties in this class, making bushes 

 that often have 75 or more blooms on in June. Prices below. 



•WHITE MAMAN COCHET 



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 ; large and fragrant, hardy and 

 productive. See prices below.
