American Beauty. In a measure replaced by Mrs. 

 Chas. Russell, this old favorite of the public commands 

 the lead as the favorite Rose of the American people, 

 it is really a Hybrid Perpetual, and the growing of 

 American Beauty to perfection is an art in itself; but 

 its full-pctaled, deep pink bloom remains at the top 

 of the market, and American Beauty will still be 

 grown in spite of the other valuable new aspirants for 

 the honor of being the finest Rose in America.

Bon Silene. (Grafted only.) Lovers of old-time 



Roses can always find a place for Bon Silene. Its bright, 

 cherry-colored blooms, which are filled with fragrance 

 and are produced in greatest profusion, ranked this 

 variety at the head of the list of small Roses for corsage 

 and table work until the advent of Cecile Brunner. 



Cecile Brunner. A delicate pink cluster Rose which, 

 for freedom of flowering and for the varied uses to 

 which it is put, has no equal. It is the corsage bouquet 

 Rose of the nation, and whether known under its right 

 name, or as Sweetheart or Mignon, it will remain one 

 of the popular Roses of commerce. 



Double White Killarney. This Rose is the lead- 

 ing and best white Rose ever grown, when quality of 

 bloom is considered. There have been many sports of 

 White Killarney, but this Rose, known as the Bud- 

 long strain, has shown superiority to the other sports 

 in every respect, and it is recognized today that Double 

 White Killarney means the Budlong strain. It is pure 

 white and the flowers are of great substance. We un- 

 hesitatingly recommend it as the best white forcing 

 Rose in existence. 



Francis Scott Key. A big red Rose of great sub- 

 stance and keeping quality; without doubt it is one of 

 the best new Roses offered to the growers of this coun- 

 try. It is an excellent grower, producing a good quan- 

 tity of bloom of high quality on heavy, strong stems. 

 It is primarily a summer Rose and is not at its best 

 except in warm weather. 



George Elgar. Similar to Cecile Brunner in that it 

 is a cluster Rose, also in freedom of growth and in pro- 

 ductiveness. It is a decided novelty, as a yellow clus- 

 ter Rose for corsage and table work has been needed. 



Hadley. This deep crimson Rose, which we dissem- 

 inated, has shown that, if properly handled, it is the 

 best crimson Rose of commerce. It is a strong grower 

 when propagated from heavy wood. It is showing 

 marked improvement, the result of careful selection of 

 grafting wood, and has proved that it is at its best 

 when grafted. Its fragrance is unsurpassed. It is a 

 favorite and a variety that is worthy of general grow- 

 ing. 



Hoosier Beauty. Deep crimson, a color which had 

 not been seen among the Roses of commerce for many 

 years until the advent of Hadley. It is a vigorous 

 grower, producing long, flowering shoots which come 

 to rnaturity quickly. The flowers are of excellent 

 keeping quality. For the average grower Hoosier 

 Beauty is an exceptionally fine Rose. 



Irish Fireflame. (Own-root only.) From the novelty 

 standpoint, Fireflame is the choice. It is a single Rose 

 and its flame-colored petals make it very attractive. 

 It is an easy grower, but prefers to be on its own roots. 



Jonkheer J. L. Mock. Called by some the New La 

 France, which seems to fit this Rose very aptly. A 

 big producer of high-grade flowers on long, strong 

 stems. It is a strong-growing variety and does well 

 either own-root or grafted, the grafted plants being 

 superior. At its best in midsummer. 



Double White Killarney Rose 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. An old favorite where 

 good white Roses are wanted in summer. It is not a 

 winter Rose and should be gotten into the bench early 

 to get the benefit of the entire growing season. Grafted 

 plants are to be preferred. 



Killarney. The Rose that made history and changed 

 the Rose-growing industry of America from a losing 

 proposition to a profitable one. Killarney and its 

 sports have been the leading varieties of commerce 

 for many years. Killarney varies in color, but its light, 

 delicate pink is the favorite of many. 



Killarney Brilliant. By selection, Killarney Bril- 

 liant has come into its own as the best of the pink 

 sports of Killarney. It is deeper in color and fully as 

 strong and vigorous from selected stock. It is the 

 best dark pink Rose we have for general growing. 



Lady Alice Stanley. Deep, clear rose-pink in color. 

 Very double flowers that open perfectly. It is a garden 

 Rose of great value, and as a Greenhouse Rose it has 

 many friends. It is of easy habits, grows freely and 

 flowers well. It does not mildew easily, and can be 

 recommended to the private grower. 



Lady Hillingdon. This has been largely replaced 

 by Mrs. Aaron Ward and Sunburst. Its wonderful 

 color when matured is equaled by none of the others, 

 and its easy habit of growth, combined with its freedom 

 of flowering, retains for it a place among the good varie- 

 ties of Greenhouse Roses. It is a glorious shade of 

 copper-yellow when expanded, improving in color as 

 the flower matures. 



Milady. The habit of growth is strong and sturdy, 

 and the foliage is excellent. The flower is large and 

 double and opens perfectly at all seasons of the year. 

 In color it is similar to Richmond, although richer in 

 color in the bud.
