THE ROSE 
>iU] 
In 1916 
W E CONGRATULATE our friends in the trade on the brighter outlook 
for the coining year, and we extend our best wishes for a prosper¬ 
ous season and less anxiety than in 1914-1915. 
In reply to the many inquiries as to “What is there new in our line?”— 
We are offering a pretty little Yellow Rose called TIPPERARY, from 
Ireland, and a charming little Polyantha called TIP-TOP, from Germany. 
These belong in the class of Corsage roses and are greatly in demand 
at present for the dainty decorations for table and basket use now so much 
in vogue. 
For sections where roses do well in the open, Admiral Ward and National 
Emblem promise extraordinarily well; they are two fine everblooming reds.

The bud is slender and sharply pointed 
and opens into a full rosette as Ward does. 
It is an improvement on Ward in its 
steady production of bloom throughout the 
season, and shows no inclination towards 
resting in mid-winter. 
The color is clear yellow, about the tone
