suited for exhibition purposes. Best bud middle of August. Blooms 
10 inches in diameter, mature last few days of October. 
MISS MILLICENT ROGERS—This is a bronzy-pink exhibition, the 
petals of which are rather informal in their arrangement, and would 
be classed as a reflexed variety. A bud taken the last of August will 
produce a large exhibition bloom by the first of November. With 
me grew to better than 3 feet. This variety is a sport of Nagirroc. 
CHEROKEE—A tall growing and easily handled bronze exhibition. The 
bloom is large and the petals are rather loosely incurved. There 
seems to be some rose mixed in with the bronze coloring. A bud 
taken the last week of August will produce excellent bloom the first 
few days in November. 
GLENVIEW—Blooms Nov. 5th; very large two-tone bloom of red and 
buff; inner petals decidedly incurved; outer ones slightly incurved; 
of exhibition size; particularly from late buds, excellent variety. 
QUEEN MARY—By far the best of the ‘“‘whorled” types. I have never 
seen but few large varieties with every petal slightly ‘curled’, and 
this is the best of the lot. It is a large white bloom with a slight 
cream tint throughout. It is a good grower, with straight stiff stem. 
It blooms here early in November and is excellent when disbudded. 
MRS. E. KERSHAW—This is a reddish bronze exhibition that is very 
vigorous both in foliage and stem. The flowers are incurved, of 
largest size, and the lining of the petals is a somewhat lighter shade 
than the outside. A bud the third week in August will produce 
bloom about November 5th. 
HELENA POCKETT—This is a 1938 introduction; a pure white incurved 
exhibition; strong erect grower with small leaves. The flower is 
very large—in fact the introducer claims it is a worthy successor to 
William Turner. Will attain a height of better than 5 feet. Take 
crown but at end of August. Matures early in November. 
MRS. D. F. ROY—With me this is a large incurved crimson with a buff 
reverse. It holds its color and is fine for shading. Do not take bud 
earlier than Sept. 15th for a perfect bloom maturing the second 
week of November. 
INDIANAPOLIS PINK—A 1938 introduction that has made good. The 
bloom is large, incurved and with plenty of “substance”. Outer sur- 
face of petals light lavender with darker insides. From a terminal 
bud will produce perfect bloom the second week of November. Con- 
sidered almost a perfect commercial. 
QUAKER LADY—A large perfectly incurved white of exhibition 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. 
HENRY WOOLMAN—Often referred to as the “Crimson Majestic” on 
account of its style of growth, being reddish crimson with a gold 
reverse. Large blooms are of good texture and are borne on plants 
that will attain a height of about 5 feet. Not so particular as to time 
of taking bud, but I recommend any bud after August 15th. 
LADY FRANK CLARK—A glorious rich yellow incurved type that re- 
minds one of the “Pockett” strain of mums produced in Australia. 
With large blooms, good color and a vigorous plant it is hard to beat. 
Take bud last week in August and onward. 
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 me- 
dium foliage, excellent keeping qualities. Flowers nicely bunched at 
top, may be grown very close together; requires practically no dis- 
budding as it has few side buds. I think it has commercial possibil- 
ities. Blooms Nov. 15th. 
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.
