Quality Nursery Stock Since 1886 
17 
plants you receive from us are grown by the 
latest methods of cultivation which we practice 
together with a means of accumulating power 
and strength in the young plants, and which 
is just the opposite from forcing roses in 
greenhouses for bloom. Do not set out your 
roses the way you get them, but trim off at 
least one-half of the wood. Slow growing sorts 
should be trimmed more severely than the 
quick growing varieties. We are one of the 
largest rose growers in Texas, and have this 
year 40,000 extra strong plants to offer. 
New and valuable Roses, $1.00 each, or these 
10 roses for $8.00. 
Frank W. Dunlop — A vigorous grower, break- 
ing freely at the base. Averages 40 to 50 
petals to the bloom; opens freely. The color 
is almost identical with that of Russell. Free 
from spot and easily handled; forcing rose. It 
is of great size and a very profitable producer. 
Long stems. Price, each, $1.00. 
Rose Premier — A cross between Ophelia and 
Russell. There is nothing handsomer in the 
whole range of dark pink. The color, form 
and big ample foliage, being fine in the ex- 
treme and the fragrance, unsurpassed; almost 
thornless, with splendid stems; a free grower; 
a wonderful bloomer. 
American Beauty — Hardy rose of largest size, 
having the everblooming qualities of the Tea 
Rose, with the delicious odor of the Damask 
or Moss Rose. In color it is brilliant red, shad- 
ing to a rich carmine crimson. The flowers 
are borne on long, stiff stems, hence a splendid 
rose for cutting. 
Columbia — Too well known to need descrip- 
tion; glowing pink, deepening as it opens; a 
marvel of freedom in growth and bloom, with 
long stems, nearly thornless, quite fragrant, 
lovely in the bud state, and handsome in the 
full open flower which turns to deep rose. Own 
roots, strong plants. 
Crimson Queen — A beautiful crimson hybrid 
Tea of the Hadley type, but different in tone; 
a fine grower with broad, beautiful foliage. 
Frau Karl Druschke (White American Beau- 
ty) — Form of flower identical with American 
Beauty. Color clear white, beautiful in bud 
and half open. 
Mrs. Chas. Russell — In a class by itself just 
as American Beauty is, and one of the very 
best sellers in the market; both plants and cut 
blooms always in heavy demand. Each year 
an increasing number of florists are finding 
how to handle this grand variety; when well 
done it leaves little to be desired. 
Ophelia — Is grown by every wide-awake 
florist. The queen of fancy roses; orange sal- 
mon. No forcing variety ever attained such 
wide popularity so promptly and it tops the 
list of profit. It has the handsomest foliage 
in the family, ample, large and of wonderful 
texture; noted for its splendid stems. It is 
the most fragrant of forcing varieties, with the 
full June-rose fragrance. Ophelia stands 
charged with pushing Killarney off the stage. 
There ought to be room for both. 
Sunburst — This big yellow rose is in a class 
by itself. It has proven a valuable summer 
variety and has made many friends. It is also 
a fine cut flower variety throughout summer, 
and is a marvelous keeper, the color being 
beautiful, whether it comes light or deep 
orange. Being an all-the-year round rose makes 
it profitable.
