GREENHOUSE ROSES 



To be a success under glass, a variety must produce flowers 

 ural and artificial light. It must be productive, for it occupie 

 that the list of Greenhouse 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. 



With few exceptions, these Roses are better grafted 

 on Manetti than when grown on their own roots. 

 Stronger plants, increased production, and flowers 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, the 

 grafted plant at once shows a superiority which it 

 maintains. 



This list of Greenhouse 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 

 least a month before needed if they are to be re-potted 

 into 4-inch. When you wish us to re-pot your order, 

 allow four weeks for the shift from 2j4-inch to 3-inch 

 pots, and six weeks for the shift from 3-inch to 4-inch. 

 After May i we are usually able to fill orders for any 

 varieties listed from 3-inch pots. 



Order your Roses now. Have them the size you 

 want them when you are ready for them. 



that will be of a pleas 

 ^ space that is valuable.
