Grafted 
Price: 2V2 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 flowers 
of glorious crimson and gold with stiff petals. 
Briarcliff —A sport from Columbia, retaining all the good qualities 
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. Abund¬ 
ant dark green foliage and habit of plant very vigorous. 
Cecile Brunner —Known under various names, such as Sweetheart, 
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 glowing 
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 fragrance 
is its most charming feature.

Lum’s 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, mak¬ 
ing 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. 
Mrs. Aaron Ward —A remarkable variety of strong, vigorous, com¬ 
pact growth. The fragrant, full, double flowers are of a distinct 
Indian yellow, shading lighter towards the edges. 
Mrs. R. M. Finch —A Polyantha Rose, that is rapidly displacing 
Cecile Brunner for growing in the greenhouse. Color, deep shell 
pink, slightly larger in flower than Cecile 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 Mme. Butterfly. The color is an 
exquisite salmon shade, deeper than the very best Butterfly, 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 General 
Jacqueminot combining the good qualities of both varieties. 
It has petals enough to make it a good summer Rose, but not 
so many that it does not pen 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. 
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 beau¬ 
tiful 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.
