QUAKER LADY—A large perfectly incurved white of exiiibition size, 
with a slight orchid shading—especially from late buds. This is a 
cross with SNOW WHITE., which accounts for its perfect conforma¬ 
tion. With me produces perfect China mums. Height 4 feet. Take 
late August bud for blooms 8-inches in diameter maturing around 
November 10th. 
O. P. BASSETT—The most distinctive red incurved bloom of exhibition 
size I know of. It matures around the middle of November, and 
is a perfect wine red, with a silvery reverse. Very large incurved 
bloom on erect stiff stem. Red incurved varieties are scarce and this 
is a good one. 
GARNET KING—Considered the finest red yet produced; color garnet 
with bluish black shadings enhanced by a silken sheen so apparent 
in many roses. Both sides of petals practically same shade of color. 
When fully matured is of true reflexed type. Perfect stem and fo¬ 
liage. Matures Nov. 20th to 30th from late Sept. bud. Blooms 7 
inches in diameter. 
CORAL BLAZE—A late bronze anemone, maturing around the first of 
December. When disbudded flower is 5 inches in diameter. Color 
is a warm coral bronze that I consider the finest in its class and 
color. Habit of growth sturdy. 
MRS. G. E. TREADWELL—One of the few really good white singles. 
Sent to me by a friend in Texas and named for the party in whose 
garden it seems to have originated. Strong, tall wiry stem with 
medium foliage, excellent keeping qualities. Flowers nicely buncheo 
at top, may be gro^\^l very close together; requires practically no 
disbudding as it has few side buds. I think it has commercial pos¬ 
sibilities.

it makes an ideal companion white for Enchantress. It is identical
