CHOICE STOCK OF FORCING ROSES 



2^-INCH POTS 



We have made arrangements with one of the most successful grrowers of forcing Roses in the East to supply our trade with this 

 class of stock, and our friends may rely on receiving plants of best quality only. 



ICillarney Brilliant. A sport from Killarney grown in the open 

 ground in England. Killarney was introduced in 1898, and since 

 then there have been so many sports that Killarney has devel- 

 oped into a type rather than a variety. Messrs. Alexander Dick- 

 son & Sons, the original introducers, are to be congratulated 

 sixteen years after the advent of Killarney, in giving us now this 

 distinct novelty which is undoubtedly the best of all varieties of 

 this type. Killarney Brilliant has the same habit of growth and 

 the same freedom of bloom as its parent, while the flower is 

 twice as large, having 25 to 40 full-sized petals. It will be as 

 useful for summer blooming as for winter forcing. The color is 

 a very brilliant pink and varies like Killarney; in bright weather 

 it is almost crimson and in dull weather it is as bright as Killarney 

 at its best. 



Grafted plants from 2'/i-inch pots, 75 cts. each; $6.00 per doz.; $35.C0 

 per lOQ; $300.00 per 1000. 



Hadley (The Montgomery Company). Hadley is a development 

 from a line of seedlings raised by Alex. Montgomery, Jr., 

 the varieties used in the development of these seedlings 

 being Liberty, General McArthur and Richmond. In 

 color it is a deep velvety crimson, retaining its brilliancy 

 at all seasons of the year. The variety is double and 

 buds are well formed. The fragrance is excelled only 

 by American Beauty. It is a strong, rapid grower, and 

 the flowers are borne on long, stiff stems. It has proven 

 itself under thorough trial to be an all-the-year-round 

 forcing variety. 



Grafted, 2'/4-inch, $6,00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100; $300.00 per 1000. 

 Own root, 2y4-inch, $5.00 per doz.: $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000. 



Milady. The habit of growth is strong and sturdy and foliage 

 excellent. The flower is large and double and opens perfectly at 

 all seasons of the year. In color it is similar to Richmond, 

 although richer in color in the bud. In form of flower and 

 fragrance it resembles Gen. Jacqueminot, and combines with this 

 excellent color, strong growth, great productiveness and won- 

 derful keeping qualities, which strongly recommend the variety 

 as an excellent forcing rose. 



Mrs. Charles Russell. A strong-growing, free-flowering rose. 

 With one pinching makes stems four to five feet in length. The 

 foliage is heavy and leathery, inclined to slightly curl on the 

 older wood; is almost mildew proof and never drops the leaves. 

 The bud is fully as large as American Beauty, but longer and 

 pointed, and opens into a flower of unusual beauty. The color is 

 a bright rose-pink, deeper towards the centre. Is a remarkable 

 keeper and shipper. 



Mrs. George Shawyer. Brilliant rose-pink in color. Flowers 

 large, well-formed, fairly full; petals of good substance. Growth 

 is tall and stiff and carries heavy leathery foliage. From the 

 point of production and quality of bloom this rose is recognized 

 as one of our best forcing roses. 



Irish Fire Flame. A new departure in roses for winter forcing. 

 It is a single rose with only five petals, and is the most striking 

 and the best single rose Messrs. Dickson & Son have ever raised. 

 It flowers profusely during the winter months. The bud is an 

 intense fiery crimson at the top, shading at the base of the petals 

 to a rich orange-salmon. The open flower is bright salmon. It 

 is of strong, vigorous, growth, with dark green foliage; reverse 

 of leaf deep bronze. 



Cecile Brunner (Ducher. 1881). This dainty little Polyantha Rose 

 has been long securing the recognition which it deserves. The 

 flowers are a bright rose color and produced in great profusion. 

 It has much value for corsage bouquet work, and is being sold 

 under the names "Mignon" and "Sweetheart." Although a Poly- 

 antha it is not so hardy as the class of roses to which it belongs, 

 and undoubtedly for this reason has remained for so many years 

 in obscurity. With us it is better grafted than own root, but is a 

 vigorous growing variety, either on manetti or its own roots.
