GREENHOUSE ROSES 



To be a success under glass a variety must produce Howers that will be of a pleasing color under both 

 natural and artificial light. It must be productive, for it occupies space that is valuable; and it is to be 

 regretted that the list of (".reenhouse Roses is limited by these conditions. Of the hundreds of new Roses 

 that are originated, very few become recognized as worthy of being classed among greenhouse varieties. 



W ith few exceptions, these Roses are better grafted on Manetti than when grown on their own roots. 

 Stronger plants, increased production and llowers of better quality are obtained from the grafted plant. 

 Making a comparison between grafted and own-root Roses, both subjects being selected as fair samples, 

 and the grafted plant shows a superiority which it maintains. 



This list of (ireenhouse Roses will appeal to the private gardener and his employer. We have built 

 For ourselves a reputation for producing the best Rose stock that can be grown. That reputation is ours to 

 maintain. For private work we advise the use of 3-inch plants, shipped when ready for planting, or at 

 east a month before needed, if they are to be repotted into 4-inch. When you wish us to repot your order, 

 illow four weeks for the shift from 2 1^4-inch to 3-inch pots, and six weeks for the shift from 3-inch to 4-inch. 

 \fteT May i we are usually able to fill orders of any varieties listed from 3-inch pots. 



Order your Roses now. Have them the size you want them when you are ready for them. 



NEW GREENHOUSE ROSES 



V1RS. WM. R. HEARST. This pink Rose, which 

 shows up among the new Roses of the year as one 

 of the best and most valuable of the novelties, is a 

 sport of My Maryland. Similar in habit and growth 

 but clear, bright pink in color. It is as much of an 

 improvement in color as Killarney Queen is an 

 improvement on Killarney in the same respect. It 

 was awarded a Silver Medal at the Cleveland Flower 

 Show, being scored 87 points by the American Rose 

 Society. Each Doz. 100

lED RADIANCE. There has been a demand among 

 the Rose-growers of America for a red Rose that is 

 easy to handle, and one that is free from the failings 

 of other well-known red Roses. Radiance is an easy 

 doer, and this red sport of Radiance will be welcomed 

 especially by the private gardeners who grow Radi- 

 ance extensively. Each Doz. 100

'OOSIER BEAUTY. Deep crimson, a color which 

 had not been seen among the Roses of commerce for 

 many years until the advent of Hadley. H( 

 Beauty was the center of attraction at the fall shows. 

 It is a vigorous grower, producing long, flowering 

 shoots which come to maturity quickly. The flowers 

 are of excellent keeping quality.

MY MARYLAND. The warm summer weather brings 

 My Maryland into its own, and its wonderful freedom 

 of flowering is ample reason for its popularity. It is 

 of a pleasing color and nicely formed. The new Rose, 

 Mrs. Wm. R. Hearst, is a sport of My Maryland, 

 and will on account of its improved color largely 

 supersede this favorite.
