ROSES for 1935 
BETTER TIMES 
(Plant Patent No. 23—Jos. H. Hill Co.) 
One of the finest tributes to Better Times is that no adverse criticism of this cerise 
pink sport of Briarcliff has been heard from growers or retailers who have handled it. Those 
not having purchased it last year should not let another season pass without having a size¬ 
able planting of this year-round rose on their benches. Last year we were not able to sup¬ 
ply everyone wishing Better Times as we were oversold early in June. It is our hope to have 
a sufficient quantity of plants to take care of the anticipated call for this variety this 
spring. We sincerely suggest that you place your order with us as soon as possible to insure 
shipment when desired. 
Although prices have been reduced somewhat on Better Times, as it is now in its 
second year of distribution, it is our policy now and will be for some time to come to main¬ 
tain a higher purchasing price for this rose than for more standard varieties and to pro¬ 
tect the purchasers of this rose to the best of our ability.

CARMELITA 
(Plant Patent No. 91—Frank Spanbauer) 
Carmelita, the only 1935 rose that we are helping to disseminate, is a new seedling 
resulting from the successful crossing of the old favorites, My Lady and Matchless. It is 
a vivid glowing red with the most pleasing fragrance — a Wild Rose fragrance — of any 
rose today. Carmelita has 42 petals which open readily at all seasons of the year and it 
equals in the production of flowers its well-known predecessor, Senior. Unlike many 
other red forcing roses, it will not wilt when taken into a warm room. All the buds 
open and show themselves to their best advantage, proving also that a red rose has at 
last been found that is a perfect keeper.

TOKEN 
(Plant Patent No. 95—The Montgomery Co.) 
A rose whose color is different from that of all other forcing roses on the market. 
Orange tone in the bud, it opens into a wonderful apricot-orange coloring of the inner 
petals of the flower, which shades to a combination of peach pink and orange in its outer 
petals. Token requires pinching to obtain extra length roses, as do other varieties, but 
if no pinching is done the grower is rewarded with an abundance of medium length roses 
with well-formed buds, of such an unusual color harmony that they all find a ready 
market. Plant Token and use it as a leader.
