I shall raise the price of the two following varieties to $1.50 each with the idea that 
those who haven’t bought either variety before may buy them from some other source, 
where they can get them for a dollar or less. It certainly does me no good to have 
someone get them who has not bought the variety somewhere else first, for they will not 
be pleased with the results if they compare them to some of my other varieties. I do not 
have very much stock of either one of these so I expect them to be sold out after February 
15, which will be the deadline. 
THE DOCTOR—Furling pointed buds of rich pure pink averaging 21/4 inches in length, 
often three inches, intensely fragr i CF perfume, characterize this re- 
markable rose. The buds open SOLL sefni=double blooms of finest substance. 
My plants of The Doctor are very large and strong. 
TREASURE ISLAND—Plants this year from my own budwood give the results supposed 
to be achieved by this deeper and richer_child_ of Quptess Vandal, with which it is 
otherwise identical. The pointed b OP copper HR ens into a prize winning 
bloom of salmon pink with an orange base. The greater the heat and the more intense 
the light the deeper the colors. Medium height. 
V FOR VICTORY (Patented)—This is one of the “Brownell Roses” for which greatly 
increased hardiness is claimed. IJ can say that it is the clear intense yellow of a dan- 
delion, with a large, very double flower; also has very glossy foolproof foliage. Medium 
height and spreading in growth. So far I can make no recommendations as to sun or

PETALAGE 
One of the things that is not generally understood is that there is no difference in the 
lasting ability of singles or doubles so long as the ancestry is similar. An illustration 
would be that a Doberman Pinschner would live just as long if he had no spots or five 
or twelve. You see, petalage is increased by the stamens turning into petaloids and then 
into petals, and that does not have the slightest bearing on the length of time these petals 
last. The advantage, if any, lies in the fact that in wet or cold weather the less petals 
the better the rose will open. This all leads up to that with less petals a plant can make 
more blooms. Other conditions being the same, there are some varieties with not more 
than medium petalage that have foolproof plants and the real long stems that you like 
and that will give enormous amounts of long-stemmed cut flowers.
