BRONZE LODE—This is a recently discovered sport or mutation from 
the ever popular variety Gold Lode. It is identical in other respects. 
It probably rates the earliest large-flowering of the bronzes. 
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 incurved; probably the largest 
early pink. Height 4% ft.; best bud around Sept. 1; blooms Oct. 
25th. 
KEYSTONE—An early bronze larger than Indianola and more decided 
in color when early buds are selected. With me this is the very 
best extra large and extra early bronze, which faily ‘‘glistens” in 
the sunlight. The blooms are 8 inches, double from any bud, and 
the plant has strong, upright growth with small foliage. Will ma- 
ture its large bloom the last week of October. With me the best 
really large early bronze. 
ALBATROSS—A late introduction, pure white flower and full to the 
center. Tall grower with perfect stem and foliage. One of the best 
large early whites, maturing around October 25th, from terminal 
bud. 
GLITTERS—A lovely flower of a rich bronze color, with bloom sSome- 
what resembling a decorative type dahlia. Grows to medium height 
and terminal bud produces the best bloom, fully matured by Oct- 
ober 28th. 
MRS. HENRY R. REA—An incurved pure white with rather pointed 
petals. Produces an 8-inch bloom with me—in fact, one of the 
earliest large incurved white I know of. Foliage is unusually large 
and deep green; also extends right up to bloom; stem rigid. Best 
bud Sept. 1; blooms October 25th. 
OSCODA—A closely incurved light lavender bloom with reverse of 
petals a silvery sheen. Easily attains a height of 4 feet and from 
a bud selected Sept. 1st will produce blooms 6 inches in diameter 
by the end of October. 
CHARMING PRINCE—A bright incurved pink bloom that will mature 
by the last week of October from a late August bud. This variety 
is a short grower and makes an excellent pot variety. Blooms 6 
inches in diameter. . 
WHITE CLOUD—Blooms Oct. 27th. A large white bloom with irreg- 
ularly incurved petals—outer petals white shading to very light 
canary yellow at center. Grows tall. Its large bloom and easy 
culture still keeps it a favorite. 
MRS. HELEN K. JOHNSON—A dark yellow about the same shade as 
the old variety Marigold. Incurved, but petal arrangement some- 
wnat irregular and interlacing in arrangement. Tall, with good 
stem and small foliage. Late August bud will produce 8 inch blooms 
the last day or so of October. With me this variety has slight gold 
shadings in the center which makes it unusually attractive. 
PINK DEL!IGHT—A rosy pink much brighter than Chieftain. The stem 
is excellent and the foliage extends well up to the flower. The 
bloom is reflexed in form and 6 inches in diameter by about 5 
inches in depth. Grows 4 feet, and from a bud selected the first 
week in September, will mature its bloom the last week in October.
