Price: V/ 2 inch, $40.00 per 100; 3 inch, $50.00 per 100; 4 inch, $60.00 per 100. 
Autumn —In color, a gorgeous combination of cerise, scarlet and 
yellow. The firm compact bud of medium size is bright golden 
yellow, stained crimson, without and deepening to scarlet- 
orange in the center. They open to semi-double splendidly 
shaped flower of glorious crimson and gold with stiff petals. 
Briarcliff —A sport from Columbia, retaining all the good qual¬ 
ities of its parent; color more brilliant than Columbia, being a 
true rose pink without any shadings whatever. Long pointed 
bud and very fragrant. Every bud of this variety is 100 per 
cent perfect. Abundant dark green foliage and habit of plant 
very vigorous. 
Cecile Brunner —Known under various names, such as Sweet¬ 
heart, Mignon, etc. Is a dainty, miniature Rose. Light pink in 
color, and every greenhouse should have a few plants of this 
beautiful little Rose. 
Hollywood —An improved “Premier Supreme,” but a much 
brighter color. Large high centered flowers, very long in the 
bud, with dark leathery green foliage, and decidedly disease 
resistant. 
Joanna Hill —The blooms are clear yellow, deepening at the 
center and hold their color under artificial light. It produces 
strong stems without pinching and can be grown at low cost and 
sold at a more reasonable price than Souv. de Claudius Pernet. 
Lady Margaret Stewart—In the bud stage, this Rose is a glow¬ 
ing scarlet, which as the flower develops, changes to a deep 
sunflower yellow, heavily veined and splashed orange scarlet. 
The fragrance is most pronounced in this particular Rose and 
its lovely orange fragrance is its most charming feature. 
Lum’s Double White —A rejuvenation of the old Double White 
Killarney, showing an improvement in growth, a larger flower, 
and a much purer, white color. The growth is much longer and 
the general appearance of the plant better in every way than 
the original variety. 
Madame Butterfly —A glorified Ophelia. The individual bud is 
larger and the color tints of Ophelia are greatly intensified, 
making it a harmony of bright pink, apricot and gold 
Madame Alexandre Dreux —The golden bronze Rose with 
scarlet shadings. Free, healthy grower and very free blooming 
all through the season. The growth is not as heavy as Pernet 
or Columbia, but the lovely color makes it one of the most 
sought for new Roses. It is disease-resistant, and its clean, 
healthy growth makes it easy for the grower to handle. Stock 
limited. Grafted to order only. 
Mary Hart (Patented) —A scarlet-crimson in color. A sport of 
“Talisman,” that is a duplicate of that variety in habit and 
growth and to the growers who handled “Talisman” success¬ 
fully, we recommend this Rose with every confidence of its 
being a fit companion in its color. 
Mrs. R. M. Finch—A Polyantha Rose, that is rapidly displacing 
“Cecil Brunner” for growing in the greenhouse. Color, deep 
shell pink, slightly larger in flower than “Cecil Brunner” and 
one of the best of the Baby Rambler types. 
Premier Supreme —Deep rose pink, sport of Premier, with large, 
high centered flower. Very long in the bud. Dark leathery 
green, disease resistant foliage. 
President Herbert Hoover —A splendid combination of cerise 
pink, flame, scarlet and yellow, and this combination gives the 
most dazzling effect ever seen in any Rose. The flower is large 
and the bud beautifully pointed. The petals are broad and thick, 
retaining this characteristic days after the flowers are open. It 
is a splendid keeper, and wonderfully fragrant. 
Rapture—A much improved sport of Mine. Butterfly. The color 
is an exquisite salmon shade, deeper than the very best Butter¬ 
fly, with the same golden flush at the base of the petals. As a 
sport of Butterfly, Rapture shows all its good characteristics 
with larger foliage and a much heavier growth. 
Rosa Rouletti—Frequently referred to as the “rock garden” 
Rose on account of its minute pink flowers and dwarf growth. 
4 inch pots only. 
Senior—Is a second generation cross of “Richmond” and “Gen¬ 
eral Jacqueminot” combining the good qualities of both varie¬ 
ties. It has petals enough to make it a good summer Rose, but 
not so much that it does not open freely all the year ’round. 
The growth is strong and robust, and has comparatively no 
short weak growth, that has been the bane of most red Roses. 
Souvenir—The yellow sport of Talisman, corresponding with the 
parent in every way, growth, freedom, size, etc., except that 
the color is a clear yellow. 
Sunkist—This new rose is a sport of the popular variety, Joanna 
Hill. Its rich orange copper coloring is responsible for its name. 
Talisman—A seedling of Ophelia and Souv. de Claudius Pernet. 
“Like a choice, rare cameo, this new seedling Rose stands out 
in rich and distinctive relief against any background.” Talisman 
is already so well known that it needs no further comment. 
Templar —A clear, even shade of red and a color that stays even 
at all times. Very productive and fragrant and a fine Winter 
growing variety. 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet (Budded Stock 
Only) —We are proud of the wonderful record this 
Rose has made since we introduced it. The color is a 
brilliant clear yellow, which does not fade at any 
time, and the beautiful holly-like green foliage makes 
a charming contrast for this beautiful flower. 
Specially fine stock budded on Odorata, which has 
been found to be the best stock on which to grow this 
variety.
