FORCING ROSES 
R. M. S. QUEEN MARY (Patent No. 249) 
(niustrated on Cover) 
(Bricncliif x Mrs. Sam McGredy) 
In the thirty-five years we have been handling, propagating, and 
distributing Novelty Roses, there has never been a Rose we were 
as much in love with as R. M. S. Queen Mary. The color is a 
beautiful striking glistening shade of salmon-pink, which lights 
up beautifully under artificial light and makes a marvelous deco¬ 
ration. The growth is particularly strong and free, the leaves 
thick and lustrous, and ore entirely immune to mildew or black 
spot. This plant throws no blind wood, and every shoot produces 
a bud. Best of all the stems are perfectly rigid on even the 
smallest flowers. We wish that every grower of Roses in this 
country could stop in and see R. M. S. Queen Mary in bloom 
with us in our establishment to prove that our claims are not 
exaggerated. Awarded five Gold Medals,—a record not ap¬ 
proached by any other variety in recent years. 
GRAND CANARY (U. S. Cut Rower Co.) 
(Plant Patent No. 130) 
Deep yellow sport of "Token" resembling that variety in every 
respect as to growth and productiveness. To those growers who 
grow "Token" successfully, we strongly recommend this variety 
with every confidence. 
SIGNET (U. S. Plant Patent No. 199) 
A cross between Premier and Talisman originated by The Mont¬ 
gomery Co., Inc. Signet is a long-pointed, deep pink bud open¬ 
ing to a softer, single-toned, bright pink. The large flower opens 
freely and is decidedly fragrant. It has long, stiff stems, and 
beautifully clean dark green foliage. This variety is a vigorous 
grower, free bloomer and strongly disease-resistant. The per¬ 
fectly shaped bud can be depended upon to open freely, which 
makes it an excellent keeper and shipper. 
YELLOW GLORIA (C. F. BeitanzeL Jr.) 
The best Rose introduced in its color class. An orange sport of 
Talisman, a most pleasing color under any light. Has more 
petals than any of the Talisman types and produces well shaped 
buds on long stiff stems. A wonderful keeper and shipper, and 
very productive at all seasons. A fine clean healthy grower. 
STANDARD VARIETIES OF GRAFTED ROSES 
FOR FORCING 
Price: 2V2-inch, $40.00 per 100; 3-inch, $50.00 per 100; 4-inch, $60.00 per 100 
Autumn —In color, a gorgeous combination of cerise, scarlet and 
yellow. The firm compKict bud of medium size is bright golden 
yellow, stained crimson without and deepening to scarlet-orange 
in the center. They open to semi-double splendidly shaped 
flowers of glorious crimson and gold with stiff petals. 
Better Times (Patented) —The outstanding Rose of the decade. Its 
color is a brilliant cerise pink with a silvery sheen, as the flower 
develops. Very firm texture with beautiful clean heavy foliage. 
Briarclifi —-A sport from Columbia, retaining all the good qualities 
of its parent; color more brilliant them Columbia, being a true 
rose pink without any shadings whatever. Long pointed bud 
and very fragrant. Every bud of this variety is 100 per cent 
perfect. Abundant dark green foliage and habit of plant very 
vigorous. 
Cecile Brunner —Known under various names, such as Sweetheart, 
Mignon, etc. Is a dainty, miniature Rose. Light pink in color, 
and every greenhouse should have a few plants of this beauti¬ 
ful little Rose. 
Chieftain (U. S. Plant Patent 150) —Closely resembles Hadley, but 
is a brighter and lighter red and retains its rich color when 
fully opened. The color qualities of Talisman appear at the 
base of the bud, diffusing a small amount of yellow into the red 
of Chieftain, giving a slight orange glow and making for a 
desirable and superior glowing red color. This is a very large 
flower borne on a sturdy stem with vigorous, healthy foliage. 
Hollywood —An Improved Premier Supreme, but a much brighter 
color. Large high centered flowers, very long in the bud, with 
dark leathery green foliage, and decidedly disease resistant. 
Joanna Hill —The blooms ore clear yellow, deepening at the center 
and hold their color under artificial light. It produces strong stems 
without pinching and con be gro-wn at low cost and sold at a 
more reasonable price than Souv. de Claudius Pernet. 
Lum's White —A rejuvenation of the old Double White Killarney, 
showing cm improvement in growth, a larger flower, and a much 
purer, white cxjlor. The growth is much longer and the general 
appearance of the plcmt better in every way than the original 
variety. 
Madame Butterfly—A glorified Ophelia. The individual bud is 
larger and the color tints of Ophelia are greatly intensified, 
making it a harmony of bright pink, apricot and gold. 
Mrs. R. M. Finch —A Polyantha Rose, that is rapidly displacing 
Cecile Brunner for growing in the greenhouse. Color, deep shell 
pink, slightly larger in flower than Cecile Brunner and one of 
the best of the Baby Rambler types. 
President Herbert Hoover —A splendid combination of cerise pink, 
flame, scarlet and yellow, and this combination gives the most 
dazzling effect ever seen in any Rose. The flower is large and 
the bud beautifully pointed. The petals are broad and thick, 
retaining this characteristic days after the flowers are open. It 
is a splendid keeper, and wonderfully fragrant. 
Rapture —-A much improved sport of Mme. Butterfly. The color is 
an exquisite salmon shade, deeper than the very best Butterfly, 
with the same golden flush at the base of the petals. As a sport 
of Butterfly, Rapture shows all its good characteristics with 
larger foliage and a much heavier growth. 
Souvenir —The yellow sport of Talisman, corresponding with the 
parent in every way, growth, freedom, size, etc., except that the 
color is a clear yellow. 
Talisman —A seedling of Ophelia and Souv. de Claudius Pernet. 
"Like a choice, rare cameo, this new seedling Rose stands out 
in rich and distinctive relief against any background." Talisman 
is already so well known that it needs no further comment. 
Token (Patented)—A magnificent apricot orange shading to golden- 
pink. Long high pointed buds, and an exquisite variety in every 
way. At the base of the petals is a clear yellow suffusion, which 
lights up the flower beautifully. A Rose, that is thoroughly alive 
in color. 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet (Budded Stock Only)—The color is a 
brilliant clear yellow, which does not fade at any time, and the 
beautiful holly-like green foliage makes a charming contrast for 
this beautiful flower. Specially fine stock budded on Odorata, 
which has been found to be the best stock on which to grow this 
variety.
