Greenhouse Roses 



0 be a success under glass a variety must be one that will produce 

 flowers with strong stems, of pleasing color both under natural and 

 artificial light, and one that is sufficiently productive to make it 

 worth the valuable space which it occupies. 



It is to be regretted that these varieties for greenhouse use are 

 limited in number, but the absolute necessity of fulfilling the above 

 conditions will always keep the list of greenhouse Roses down to a 

 few of the very best. Many of our finest garden varieties would 

 be valuable acquisitions owing to the coloring, were it not essential 

 to place productiveness as the prime requisite. 



We are offering you in this list the true and tried varieties and, 

 in addition, the newer Roses which appear to be worthy of green- 

 house space. 



With few exceptions, these varieties are better when grafted 

 on manetti than on their own roots. In ordering be sure to specify 

 which you wish, as different soils and localities change conditions, 

 and there is no universal rule to apply to Rose growing.
