and averages 3 ft, in height. Blooms measure from 6 to 7 inches 
and are fully mature around October 10th. It is much superior to 
Qugker Maid of approximately the same blooming period. Bud 
should be taken around August 15th to get early bloom. 
OCTOBER PRIDE—An extra-early incurved yellow that shades well. . 
It has good substance and matures around October 15th when a - 
crown bud is taken. Blooms are 6 inches and larger and remind 
one of Detroit News, except the color which is a good clear yellow. 
Very popular as an extra-early yellow. 
MITY NICE—A recent introduction of the Celestra type. The blooms 
are 6 inches and better and are of a good lavender-pink color. The 
blooms are fully mature by mid-October when a second crown bud 
is taken. Will reach 4 ft. in height and can be successfuily shaded. 
ROSE GLORY—A tall lavender-pink incurved variety, maturing its 
bloom by Oct. 15th. Terminal bud is best. With me holds its color 
well. 
MAJOR EDWARD BOWES—An outstanding 1936 introduction. It is e 
bright rosy pink—brighter than J. W. Prince, and the color is inten- 
sified under artificial light. Fully double from any bud but best 
bud around August 30th. Six inch incurved blooms, mature around 
October 18th. With me held its color under our hot sun. 
JOSEPHINE LAWLER—While not a new variety, it is probably the 
most dependable and satisfactory outdoor early pink, maiuring its 
6 inch incurved lavender-pink bloom by October 18th. With me 
holds its color and is just about fool-proof. 
CAMILLA—A well rounded incurved pure white maturing October 20th 
from bud selected the last week of August. Height 5 feet; Blooms 
6 inches in diameter by 4 inches deep; Stem and foliage good. 
Stated to be good enough to eventually supercede Silver Sheen. 
WHITE EAGLE—A large reflex white that may be grown practically 
as large as the Turners. It is a short compact grower and may be 
grown in pots; also shades well. By selecting a mid-August bud 
one may obtain a very large perfect bloom by October 20th. Should 
be better known on account of its earliness and extra larze blooms. 
OCTOBER GLOW—Large globe type of deep lavender rose, possessing 
good substance and with me holds its color well under our hot sun. 
Will mature blooms 8 inches by 6 inches the third week of October 
when a crown bud is selected. It is a seedling of October Rose and 
is of fairly late introduction. I consider it “fool-proof” ‘as to 
handling. 
OCTOBER ROSE—A very large, early pink vigorous growth. Its 
blooms are 7 inches and larger and perfectly ineurved; probably the

KEYSTONE—The finest early bronze I have ever grown. It is of 
strong upright growth, 3 ft. and better, and produces 8 inch incurved 
blooms of a light bronze that are unusually attractive. A bud se- 
lected around August 30 will produce a perfect’ bloom the last week 
of October. Early selected buds give blooms with more pronounced 
color than later buds. 
BLAZING GOLD—An intense, deep golden yellow of recent introduc- 
tion. It is of compact, erect habit of growth and handles well; 
also is good for shading. The bloom is perfectly giobular in form
