THE ARISTOCRATS IN ROSES 
Our Careful Selection for your Garden of Roses of Only the Highest Recognized Ratings. 
Hundreds of roses make their entry each year. We make careful recordings of the rose trials in this state 
each year, and confer with the foremost rosarians on the newer introductions. This enables us to offer 
you a listing of not only the proven new varieties of particular merit, but the highest ranking varieties 
as well in each color classification. For these reasons we offer you the following varieties unreservedly, 
knowing their exceptional merit. 
CLASSES OF ROSES 
HI—HYBRID TEA. The most popular and extensive class to 
which belong practically the majority of all rose varieties now 
planted. Ever noteworthy for their succession of bloom, and 
large vividly colored flowers. 
HP—HYBRID PERPETUAL. A class of extremely hardy and very 
vigorous varieties suitable for cold climates: Some of the vari- 
eties in this class are old, old favorite, however, and we are 
listing the leading varieties due to the recently renewed interest 
in ‘the good old roses.” 
POLYANTHA ROSES. Varieties in this class are dwarf and 
bushy, often less than 2 feet high, and have small flowers in 
clusters. Much stress is now being placed on using these vari- 
eties for outdoor pot plant and bedding purposes for which they 
are admirably suited. 
FLORIBUNDA ROSES. A new type resulting from crossing Dwart 
Polyanthus with Hybrid Tea roses. Taller than the former, with 
blooms in clusters larger than polyantha blossoms. Grand for 
bedding or pot use.
