GEO. ELGER 
DWARF POLYANTHA 
Buds golden-yellow, opening into sprays of deep 
yellow, the best of its color in "Baby-roses.” 
Free, erect in growth, wood smooth, foliage dark 
green. 
A lovely combination with Tip-Top and Mile. Cecile 
Brunner. 
HOOSIER BEAUTY 
HOOSIER BEAUTY 
The new red rose of 1915, which is found more 
profitable than Richmond. 
The color is magnificent—crimson scarlet with 
darker shadings and a velvety texture. Bud long and 
pointed; can be cut fairly close and is a splendid 
keeper and shipper. 
Has more petals than Richmond; deliciously fra¬ 
grant ; a good salable rose in Summer as well as in 
Winter. 
Free and continuous, flowers on every shoot. Easy 
to do ; does not need pinching. 
Clean in growth, does not mildew nor spot; takes 
the same temperature as Killarney. 
HADLEY 
It is a nice, bushy grower, and produces dark crim¬ 
son-scarlet buds on good stems. 
With some of the large growers it is a favorite; 
the habit is ideal, the bloom exquisitely beautiful. 
KILLARNEY 
The standard pink rose, grown by ninety-nine per 
cent, of the florists of the country. Our stock is fine— 
both own root and grafted; we strongly recommend 
grafted Killarney. 
Our stock is absolutely clean and in perfect health. 
We have both own root and grafts and strongly 
recommend the latter for forcing purposes; this mag¬ 
nificent sort should be given every opportunity to do 
its best and that is what grafted stock does for it. 
KILLARNEY BRILLIANT 
The deep crimson-pink sport of Killarney. This 
variety in the majority of establishments is superseding 
old Killarney which cannot be depended upon to hold 
its color; even when Killarney Brilliant runs lighter, 
it is still a fine, intense shade which sells well, while 
the older sort cannot be given away when “off color.” 
RAISE BIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA 
The beautiful summer white, indispensable with 
many firms. 
Good own-root stock only, summer propagated, re¬ 
potted and grown on into fine, strong, heavy, 2J4 inch. 
Our Kaiserin is recognized as of high quality. 
LADY ALICE STANLEY 
(See cut, page 8.) 
A beautiful two-tone pink, pure rose on the outer 
petals, shell-pink within; the hud is long, pointed and 
plump and opens into a perfectly rounded rose of large 
size, composed of broad petals of heavy texture; the 
foliage is noticeably large and fine. Very high class, 
and deliciously fragrant; a profitable variety to grow, 
and in demand in exclusive flower shops. 
MRS. CHAS. W. RUSSELL 
fn 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. 
We offer grafted stock only. 
WHITE KILLARNEY 
“THE WHITE ROSE OF THE CENTURY” 
Our only white forcing variety for the present and 
so extremely satisfactory that we hardly need a better, 
though we would like something as good—and differ¬ 
ent—just for variety. 
MRS. GEO. SHAWYER 
Wonderfully free in bloom, profuse in production 
of good strong breaks, and in fine leathery foliage. 
Color, bright peach-pink; buds long and well filled, 
carried on 3 and 4-foot stems; a first favorite with 
many growers.
