20 NEWEST ROSES, 1915 
Connoisseurs will recognize in our 1915 list of Newest Roses such an array of prize-winning varieties as we have never 
before been able to offer so promptly after their introduction 
With eyes kept fixed on the Novelty output of the leading Rose-growers in every part of the world, we pursue earnestly our endeavor 
to procure for the benefit of our customers everything of promise. Most of these demand further trial before being offered at all, but an 
intimate knowledge of the extensive birthplace tests made of the Roses while yet unnamed, and results of the European and American 
Exhibitions, enable us to offer, out of the total introductions of the past twelve months, 20 that have already distinguished themselves as 
superior, varieties. 
Please realize that the original supply of these highly honored Novelties is yet so limited in proportion to the demand as to make 
the following prices reasonable. 
Note. —The following famous Novelties are still so new in commerce that we must offer them here, in most cases, subject to safe 
arrival from abroad. They are to be strong, field-grown plants, not on their own roots, as are most of the C. & J. Roses, but budded or 
grafted. Care, therefore, must be taken to plant so as to cover the joint, and in case a shoot of the wild Rose appears later from the 
root, it is easily cut out, as it may be readily distinguished by seven small, narrow leaves instead of five large leaves. Practically all 
Roses in this catalog, except those on pages 8 and 9, or otherwise noted, are grown on their own roots.
