The Cream of the New Roses 
ADMIRAL WARD (H. T.)-~ Vig- 
orous, branching, erect growth. 
Large, glossy, bronzed foliage. 
Very large, full, globular flow- 
ers, freely and continuously 
produced. Color deep velvety 
crimson-red, shaded fiery-red. 
A grand garden Rose. 50 cents. 
BRITISH QUEEN (H. T.)— We 
quote the introducer’s descrip- 
tion : “Experts who have seen 
British Queen growing, agree 
that it Is the finest white Rose 
in existence, surpassing in 
beauty and elegance of form 
all other white varieties. The 
freedom with which it blooms 
is remarkable. It is in flower 
from June until winter, and on 
well cultivated plants the 
blooms are a model of perfection. 
The type of flower is between 
White Maman Cochet and Frau 
Karl Druschki, with Tea Rose 
form and refinement; frequent- 
ly in the bud state it shows 
a slight flush; this disappears 
as the flower opens into purest 
whiteness. It is a good grower 
and sweetly scented. Awarded 
a gold medal by the National 
Rose Society of England. Those 
who have bad the pleasure to 
see this magnificent Rose blooming at Portsdown will never forget the sight. 
20 cts. each; 2-yettr plants, 50 cts. 
KILEARNEY BRILLIANT (Alex Dickson, 1914.) — The introducers are to be con- 
gratulated sixteen years after the advent of Killarney in giving us this distinct 
novelty which is undoubtedly the best of the Killarney type. Killarney Brilliant 
has the same habit of growth and the same freedom of bloom as its parent, while 
the flower is more double. The color is a very brilliant pink and varies like 
Killarney. In the garden in bright weather is clear pink, and in dull weather 
almost a crimson. Extra. 25 cts.; two-year plants, 00 cts. 
KILLARNEY QUEEN (Budlong, 1912.) — A cerise-pink sport of Killarney that for 
clearness and brightness of color has not been equalled ; exceptionally strong in 
f rowth, with foliage that is perfect, being larger than Killarney and more glossy. 
n size of petals Killarney Queen is larger than its parent, and for high grade 
bloom it is a very superior variety. Forces tine. 20 cts.; two-year plants, 60 cts. 
LADY MARY WARD (H. T.) — Rich orange, shaded deeper apricot-orange, with a 
decided metallic flush. Very free-flowering, with fine habit of growth. Sweetly 
perfumed, attractive and decorative. Gold Medal, N. R. S. 20 cents; two-year 
plants, 50 cents. 
OPHELIA (H. T.) — When Ophelia was sent out on its message of Rose beauty to 
entrance the world, there was placed a tablet in the hall of Rose fame to Wm. 
Paul & Son that will grow brighter as the flight of time goes on. Its lustre will 
never tarnish or grow dim. A more enduring memorial than anything else in the 
world can give. Think what joy and happiness, yea, peace, this Rose will produce 
as the ages go by, and how modest Mr. Paul & Son were in their description, which 
we give verbatim: “Salmon-flesh, shaded with rose; large, and of perfect shape; 
of excellent habit, the flowers standing up well on long, stiff stems and produced in 
great profusion. Excellent for forcing and a fine decorative variety. Growth 
vigorous.” Certainly a glorious Rose. Be sure to have “Ophelia” fixed in your 
memory. 25 cents ; two-year plants, 60 cents. 
I have bought Phlox “Druininondi Grandiflora" seed from you two different times 
and my Phlox were Just lovely. I had such a lovely bed last summer.
