GREENHOUSE ROSES, continued 



Mrs. Wm. R. Hearst. (Gratted only.) This pink 

 Rose shows up among the new Rosc-s as oiu- <>1 Ok- 

 bust and most valuable. It is a sport ot Mv Mary- 

 land. Similar in habit and growth, but clear, bright 

 pink in color. It is as much ot an improvement m 

 color as Killarney Queen is an improvement on Kil- 

 larney in the same respect. 



My Maryland. (Grafted onh'.) The warm summer 

 weather brings My Maryland into its own, and its 

 wonderful freedom of tiowenng is ample reason tor 

 its popularity. It is of a pleasing color and nicely 

 formed. The new Rose, Mrs. Wm, R. Hearst, is a 

 sport of My Marylaiul, and will, on account ot its 

 improved color, largely supersede this favorite. 



Ophelia. This variety stands todav as the best light 

 pink Rose ever offered. It is ,salmon-flesh-pink in 

 color, shading to yellow at the base ot the petal in 

 the partially opened flower, and is very attractive; 

 but the real charm lies in the open flower which is, 

 to the Rose-lover, perfection in form and color. It 

 is of easy habits, grows well, and produces well. 



Perle d'Or. A salmon-yellovi' cluster Rose on the style 

 of Cecile Brunner. \'ery free-flowering and very 

 distinct; one of the best in this class. 



Prince E. C. d'Arenberg. Clear red in color, with no 

 trace of blue; excellent in habit of growth. It is dis- 

 tinct from the crimson Roses, Hadley and Hoosier 

 Beauty. It is prolific, but needs careful cutting. 



Radiance. Cerise-pink in color and of easy culture. 

 It is a clean grower, producing good flowers and an 

 abundance of heavy wood. Aside from being a 

 greenhouse favorite, it has the distinction of being 

 the best pink bedding Rose in existence. 



Red 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. roo

Ophelia 



Richmond. Beautifully formed flowers of bright 

 scarlet, brighter than Hoosier Beauty and Hadley. 

 It has been for years the standard of quality for red 

 and crimson Roses. It is better grafted. 

 September Morn. (Grafted only.) The light pink 

 sport of Mme. Paul Euler. A very delicate, soft shade 

 of pink in color. It has all the strong-growing char- 

 acteristics of its parent. 

 Sunburst. Long, pointed buds that open perfectly 

 into a sunburst of deep, golden yellow is the best 

 description we can make of this wonderful Rose. 

 From the standpoint of quality, it is the best yellow 

 Rose ever grown. It is at its best on its own roots 

 and we offer own-root plants only.

Tip Top. (Lambert.) A new corsage Rose that will be 



welcomed by all lovers of the small, free-flowering 

 varieties. It is a bright, cheerful color which shades 

 from light pink almost to cerise, resembling in color 

 the old favorite, Mrs. J. P. Morgan. 

 White Killarney. The Waban strain of White Kil- 

 larney shares with the Budlong strain of Double 

 White Killarney the honor of being the best white 

 Rose. Growers have their preference and govern 

 their planting accordingly. It is a stronger grower 

 than Killarney. 



A NEW ROSE FOR 1918 



We shall disseminate in 1918 for John H. 

 Dunlop, of Toronto, Ontario, a red Rose, 

 Mrs. Henry Winnett, which we believe to be 

 the best of its color ever offered to commerce. 

 It is a variety which has size, good color, 

 well -formed flower and good production. 

 The best new Rose in years.
