Greenhouse Roses 



To be a success under glass, a variety must produce ilowcrs that will be of a pleasing color under 

 both natural and artificial light. It must be productive, f()r it occupies space that is valuable, and it 

 is to be regretted 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 Green- 

 house varieties. 



With few exceptions, these Roses are better grafted on Manetti than when gro\™ on their own 

 roots. Stronger plants, increased production, and llowcrs of better quality are obtained from the 

 grafted plant. Making a comparison between grafted and own-root Roses, fair samples of both 

 being selected, the grafted plant at once shows a superiority wiiich 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 pri\ate 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-iiu h pots. When you 

 wish us to re-pot Nour order, allow four weeks for the shift from 2j4-inch to 3-inch pots, and six 

 weeks for ilu- slult from 3-inch to 4-inch. After May i we are usually able to fill orders for any 

 varieties listed Ironi 3-inch pots. 



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



The Manetti Situation. At this writing, we expect about 30 per cent of the one million Manetti 

 ordered. Our new Roses and our ow n requirements will take one-half of these. Orders at present 

 standing on our books will take one-half tlie balance. No grower can afford to neglect his up-keep, 

 and new plants, where necessary, must l)e idecl. \\ here ow n-root stock is equally good, we advise 

 the purchaser to use it, to conserve Maiu tii fm tlic.se \arii ties which are better grafted. 



Owing to the labor situation, we expec t a smaller produc tion of all lines of young stock throughout 

 the country and a general shortage in consequence. Prices have ad\anced to keep revenue, in a 

 measure, up to increased expense. 



We ask you to buy what you need and to buy early. Give the producer the chance to give you 

 what you want and to serve you well. Our best eflTorts will be made in your behalf. Place your 

 order at once. We will deliver when you are ready to plant.
