Recent Introductions 
YELLOW GLORIA (Patented) (C. F. Bertanxel). The finest 
Rose in its color class. An orange yellow, sport of Talisman, 
most pleasing under any light. Holds its attractive color, and 
having more petals than others of its type, does not blow like 
its parent. Produces well shaped buds and holds its head up 
on stiff stems. Keeps and produces wonderfully. A clean and 
healthy grower. Let us arrange to have you see it growing when 
you are in New York. $25.00 per 100, $250.00 per 1000 
HAPPY DAYS (Patented) {The Amling Rose Co.). A deep pink, 
sport of Rriarcliff that we believe will shortly replace its parent. 
It is a better grower and a decided improvement in color over 
Rrieu’chff. 
$25.00 per 100, $250.00 per 1000 (including 5c royalty) 
CHIEFTAIN (Patented) (The Montgomery Co., Inc.). A brighter 
though lighter red, closely reembling Hadley, that retains its 
rich color when fully open. The color and qualities of Talisman 
appear at the base of the bud, diffusing a small amount of 
yellow into the red, giving it a slight orange glow. Chieftain 
has a large flower, sturdy stem, and healthy foliage. 
$30.00 per 100, $300.00 per 1000 
TOKEN (Patented) {The Montgomery Co., Inc.). Orange buff to 
peach red (Premier Supreme x Mme. Rutterfly). One of the

BETTER TIMES (Patented) {The Joseph H. Hill Co.). Cerise 
pink, sport of Rriarcliff. This variety needs no introduction.

SIGNET (Patented) {The Montgomery Co., Inc.). Long pointed 
deep pink buds opening to a soft single tone pink. Very free 
bloomer. Very fragrant. $35.00 per 100, $350.00 per 1000 
R. M. S. QUEEN MARY (Patented). A seedling of Rriarcliff 
and Mrs. Sam McGredy. Produces no blind wood, and every 
shoot produces a flower. There are no weak growths and the 
stems are perfectly rigid at all times. There are no culls or 
bad buds with this variety. It has been awarded five Gold 
Medals in the recent fall exhibitions. The color is a marvelous 
combination of vivid shades,—a rich, glowing, blending of 
salmon and pink with an orange base, long pointed buds which 
produces flowers of marvelous size and beautiful form. 
$35.00 per 100, $350.00 per 1000 
GRAND CANARY (Patented). A clear yellow sport of Token. 
Has been under test since 1934, and for the year ending July 1, 
1937 produced slightly over 30 flowers per plant. It grows more
