CHIEFTAIN 
The Montgomery Co., Inc. 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 150, Nov. 26, 1935. 
Chieftain, a seedling resulting from a cross of Hadley x Talisman, closely resembles 
Hadley but is a brighter and lighter red. The color qualities of Talisman appear at the 
base of the bud, diffusing a small amount of yellow into the red of Chieftain, giving it a 
slight orange glow. 
Chieftain has proved to be a good keeper and in this way has overcome the usual object- 
tions to an otherwise fine red rose. We have experienced such a steady demand for this rose 
that we have not been able to supply enough Chieftain cut flowers to take care of our trade, 
although we have planted over 11,000 plants.

HAPPY DAYS 
Amling Rose Co. 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 144, March 2, 1935. 
Happy Days is a deep pink sport of Briarcliff which appeared at the Amling rose range 
at Pana, Illinois, in 1932. To go into a minute description of this rose is unnecessary as it 
would only be describing the well-known rose, Briarcliff, with the one exception of the 
color. It is a darker rose than Briarcliff, yet does not in any way fall into the Better 
Times color field. 
In 1935 a large planting of this rose produced an average of 26 blooms per plant and, 
due to its intensive color, the cut averaged considerably more per bloom than Briarcliff. 
For the first year of dissemination Happy Days is priced right and a place should be 
made in your houses for a planting of this rose.

WILLIAM EKAS 
F. E. Cremer, Florist 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 177, May 12, 1936. 
William Ekas is a sport of Souvenir. The color, apricot salmon when open, outer 
petals tinge to pink. The rose can be cut when tight as it will develop perfectly. The 
petals number around 40 per flower and when fully opened the flower measures three 
inches or more. Its cultural habits are identical with Talisman. As it is a strong grower 
it will cut some bullheads off the first fall crop, which will not again appear during the 
summer and fall months on second year plants.
