PETER JOHN—A sport or mutation from the old favorite, Thanksgiv- 
ing Pink. It is identical in every respect except color, which is ~ 
much lighter—about the same shade as October Rose. Large flower, 
erect grower, maturing fer Thanksgiving. An early September bud 
produces the best flower, which is reflexed in form. 
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 brown very close together; requires practically no 
dis-budding as it has few side buds. I think it has commercial pos- 
sibilities. 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. 
When fully matured is of true reflexed type. Perfect stem and fo- 
liage. Matures Nov. 20th to 30th from late September bud. Blooms 
7 inches in diameter. 
GOLDEN OAK -—An unusually good mid-season golden bronze, the 
bloom being large and perfectly round and with decided bronze tints 
showing. Considered an improvement on Oakleaf. It is a vigorous 
grower maturing around November 20th from a terminal bud. 
MARKETEER—A late introduction that has proved extremely popular. 
It is a mid-season white of perfect round form and largest size; is 
proving very popular as a commercial variety. Take terminal bud 
and obtain a perfect bloom around November 20th. This variety is 
a vigorous grower. 
CORAL BLAZE—A late bronze anemone, maturing around the first of 
December. When disbudded flower is 5 inches in diameter. Color is 
a warm coral bronze that I consider the finest in its class and color. 
Habit of growth sturdy. 
REGINA—A truly wonderful late lavender-pink of the Thanksgiving 
Pink type, but later, maturing Dec. Ist and on. It grows 4 feet tall 
and its blooms often reach 8 inches in diameter. A crown bud is 
best.

GOLD LODE—A deep yellow of the decorative type; medium size bloom, 
but very early—maturing here in early October from mid-August 
bud. Small foliage. Popular in the north and as a pot mum. 
EARLY.FROST—Blooms the first few days of October from first bud. 
The standard very early round pure white; a perfect bloom and 
very dependable. 
YELLOW EARLY FROST—The yellow sport of the above variety, iden- 
tical in other respects. 
SMITH’S EARLY WHITE—Blooms October 10th from an August 10th 
bud. While not an 8 inch bloom it is undoubtedly one of the earliest 
good whites. Inner petals incurve, outer ones reflex. 
LUSTRE—An extra-early incurved pink bloom with lavender shadings, 
The hot sun fades it some here, but throughout the central and 
northern states it is very popular, as it blooms by Oct. 10. Growth 
rather medium; best bud around mid-August. 
CELESTRA—Another excellent incurved yellow that matures its bloom 
by Oct. 10. Of medium height. Best bud early in September. An 
excellent variety for central and northern states.
