GENERAL LIST OF GREENHOUSE VARIETIES— Continued 



Killarney. ,ThiS|beautiful Rose has almost as many friends 

 as American Beauty. It varies in color with weather 

 conditions, but is attractive at all tinns. ( lear, brilliant 

 pink when at its best; a big producer. By sports, Kil- 

 larney has developed into a race of Roses instead of a va- 

 riet}'. The new Rose, Killarney Brilliant, will eventu- 

 allj- replace it. 



Killarney Queen. Those who saw our Rose exhibit at the 

 International Flower Show last April will remember 

 Killarney Queen. Flowers of enormous size were shown on 

 stems from six to seven feet in length, and these were the 

 sensation of the show. This variety can be grown to 

 wonderful perfection. As a general rule it is most beauti- 

 fully colored, being a deep pink of wonderful brilliancy. 

 The fohage is large and handsome. It is not as heavy a 

 producer as the other Killarnoys, and should be planted 

 double, that is, two plants together, to get results from a 

 certain space. 



Lady Hillingdon. Deep coppery yellow in color and ver.y 

 free flowering. The open bloom is its most attractive 

 stage. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. This variety is, in our opinion, the 

 best Rose ever disseminated by Pernet-Ducher, and the 

 naming of this Rose after an American is one of the greatest 

 compliments that could be paid by the famous French 

 rosarian to the Rose lovers in America. Every year 

 since its introduction it has increased in popularity Its 

 Indian yellow bud, changing with the expanding of the 

 flower, is a great favorite. This deep yellow bud is attrac- 

 tive, but no more so than the open Rose, which in many cases 

 is a shell pink. As a garden Rose and greenhouse Rose, 

 Mrs. Aaron Ward is our best j-ellow variety. 



Mrs. Pierpont Morgan. This is one of the old-time favor- 

 ites. Very productive and a strong grower. Shell pink in 

 color. 



Mrs. Taft. The variety called Mrs. Taft is properly Antoine 

 Rivoire. It is shell pink in color. The flowers are nicely 

 formed and ihr ^i'c>\vth during the warmer wcntlier is very 

 satisfactory. It ivciuires eMra lii'at in the ^^■inler. We 

 have a vers- attractive sport of this Rose which we are 

 propagating extensively, and which will be offered another 

 season. It is a deep clear pink in color and a valuable 

 improvement. 



My Maryland. Clear pink in color, with long, pointed buds. 

 One of the finest of the Summer-flowering varieties and 

 wonderfully productive, except in the Winter months. 



Radiance. Deep cerise pink in color and very productive. 

 A good Rose for general growing and in addition is one of 

 the finest outdoor varieties ever grown. 



Richmond. Up to the advent of Milady and Iladley, this 

 was the most widely grown crimson Rose. The buds are 

 finely shaped and the growth is excellent. 



White Killarney. The Waban strain of WTiite Killarney for 

 general purposes is the finest white variety. The growth 

 is stronger than that of Killarney, from which it a sport. 

 The buds in Summer are apt to come pinkish, but this 

 fault is made up for by the quality of the flowers during 

 the balance of the year.
