The Three Russells 
1st—MRS. CHAS. W. RUSSELL 
In a class by itself just as American Beauty 
is, and one of the very best sellers in the market; 
both plants and cut blooms always in heavy 
demand. 
Each year an increasing number of florists 
are finding how to handle this grand variety, 
when well done it leaves little to be desired. 
2d—MRS. W. BAYARD THAYER 
THE LIGHT PINK SPORT OF 
MRS. RUSSELL 
Soft shell-pink. 
3d—DARK PINK SPORT OF 
MRS. CHAS. RUSSELL 
Exactly like Russell save in color, which is 
a gorgeous shade of deep reddish pink. 
MRS. AARON WARD 
Might be styled “Orange Beauty”; it is a rose 
that sells as well on short stems as long, and in 
immense quantities; the ideal corsage variety 
and very freely used for low table decorations. 
Has the prettiest foliage of any forcing vari¬ 
ety, carried quite up to the flower. 
MLLE. CECILE BRUNNER 
Synonyms, “Mignon” and “Sweetheart.” 
The tiny pink Polyantha rose, extremely useful 
in the cut flower trade where it has acquired new 
popularity the past three years. Forces nicely 
in the winter time. 
Indispensable for store and retail trade; ap¬ 
peals to exclusive buyers, as well as to the gen¬ 
eral public. 
MAM AN COCHET 
The summer blooming pink variety on which 
many florists depend for cutting; the very best 
of out-door roses. 
We carry a large stock of extra well grown 
plants of it—also of the White Cochet. 
MLLE. FRANCISCA KRUGER 
A deep golden yellow ever-blooming Tea rose ; 
sometimes flushed pink; a good out-door bedder. 
MILADY 
A good red rose, quite full, of beautiful form, 
splendid in texture, free in growth and bloom; 
rated high by some of the best growers, who 
claim that it is profitable. 
MY MARYLAND 
Lovely glowing pink; the freest rose in growth 
and bloom that we know. A splendid bedder. 
A grand summer variety for cutting. 
Our stock is fine, summer propagated and once 
repotted. 
Sells in enormous quantity each year, and is 
in constantly increasing demand, as florists find 
its value as a warm-weather cut flower variety. 
NATIONAL EMBLEM 
(McGredy) 
Color dark crimson, overlaid with velvety fin¬ 
ish, shading to vermilion towards the edges. 
Buds very long and pointed; flower quite full, 
everyone coming perfect and produced in mar¬ 
velous freedom throughout the season. Foliage, 
mildew-proof. 
Promises to make a champion red bedder. 
Introduced in 1916. 
OPHELIA 
Is grown by every wide-awake florist—the 
queen of fancy roses—orange-salmon. No forc¬ 
ing variety ever attained such wide popularity 
so promptly, and it tops the list for profit. 
No other forcing rose compares with it for 
“coming back” quickly after cutting. 
It has the handsomest foliage in the family, 
“ample,” large and of wonderful texture; noted 
for its splendid stems; it is the most fragrant of 
forcing varieties, with the full “June-rose” fra¬ 
grance. 
Ophelia stands charged with pushing Kil- 
larney off the stage! (There ought to be room 
for both.)
