GREEIVHDUSE ROSES (continued) 
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, scar¬ 
let and yellow. The firm compact bud of medium size is 
bright golden yellow, stained crimson without and deep¬ 
ening 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. 
Briarclifif—A sport from Columbia, retaining all the good 
qualities of its parent; color more brilliant than Colum¬ 
bia, being a true rose pink without any shadings what¬ 
ever. 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. It is a dainty, miniature Rose. 
Light pink in color, and every greenhouse should have a 
few plants of this beautiful little Rose. 
Golden Rapture—Here we have a beautiful yellow Rose that 
is the same color as Claudius Pernet, having all the ear¬ 
marks of a quick growing easily handled variety. This 
yellow is going to displace every other yellow grown at 
the present time. The foliage, stem, habit, and freedom 
of growth are perfection. We recommend this Rose to 
any grower who is looking for a perfect yellow Rose. 
Happy Days (Patented)—The color is a bright clear pink, 
much brighter than that of the original parent, but the 
growth, stems, and foliage, is the exact duplicate of 
Briarcliff. Much longer in the bud and naturally a larger 
flower. While we do not claim spectacular things for 
this Rose, it is a great improvement on Briarcliff in every 
particular. 
Joanna Hill—The blooms are clear yellow, deepening at 
the center and hold their color under artificial light. It 
produces strong stems without pinching and can be 
grown at low cost and sold at a more reasonable price 
than Souv. de Claudius Pernet. 
Lucile Hill (Patented)—Lucile Hill is a cross of Sweet 
Adeline and an unknown seedling. A very vigorous 
grower, and a marvelous producer. Color, vivid pink that 
remains the same color throughout. In other words, it 
does not turn blue as many pink Roses do when the 
flowers age. Flowers are semi-double, measuring about 
6'/2 to 7 inches in diameter. A most pi’olific variety. 
Lum’s White—A rejuvenation of the old Double White 
Killarney, showing an improvement in growth, a larger 
flower, and a much purer, white color. The growth is much 
longer and the general appearance of the plant 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 inten¬ 
sified, making it a harmony of bright pink, apricot and 
gold. 
Mrs. R. M. Finch—A Polyantha Rose, that is rapidly dis¬ 
placing 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. 
Pink Delight—This variety we distributed in a limited way 
two years ago, and in its color it is a wonderful acquisi¬ 
tion to the Briarcliff types. The color is a beautiful bril¬ 
liant Rose, stem and foliage all that can be desired. The 
fragrance is more pronounced in this Rose than in any 
others. Rather a tall grower, but if given sufficient head 
room will give a splendid account of itself. 
President Herbert Hoover—A splendid combination of 
cerise pink, flame, scarlet and yellow, and this combina¬ 
tion gives a dazzling effect. 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. 
Red Better Times (Asmus Patented)—This glistening crim¬ 
son sport of Better Times is identical with the parent in 
habit, growth, and every other particular except color. 
There are quite a number of red sports of Better Times 
but this is the best one so far. If you like Better Times— 
and who doesn’t—“Try this crimson sport” is our recom¬ 
mendation. 
R. M. S. Queen Mary (Patent No. 249)— In the thirty-five 
years we have been handling, propagating, and distrib¬ 
uting Roses, there has never been a Rose we were as much 
in love with as R. M. S. Queen Mary. The color is a beau¬ 
tiful striking glistening shade of salmon-pink, which 
lights up beautifully under artificial light and makes a 
marvelous decoration. The growth is particularly strong 
and fiee, the leaves thick and lustrous, and are entirely 
immune to mildew or black spot. 
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 Cladius 
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 exqui¬ 
site variety in every way. At the base of the petals is a 
clear yellow suffusion, which lights up the flower beauti¬ 
fully. 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. 
Yellow Gloria (Patented)—The best Rose introduced in its 
color class. An orange sport of Talisman, a most pleas¬ 
ing 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. 
White Finch—This sterling variety sported in several 
places at one time, and while the other varieties are fair, 
at least those we are acquainted with, still this variety 
which we imported from England is a good clean white, 
and there is no reason why it should not be as popular 
as its parent variety, Mrs. Finch.
