Better Times (Patented)—The outstanding Rose of the decade. Its 
color is a brilliant cerise pink with a silvery sheen, as the flower 
develops. Very firm texture with beautiful clean heavy foliage. 
Brandywine (Patent No. 530) (J. H. Thompson Sons Co.)—Long 
pointed buds of buff yellow, similar in color to “Joanna Hill.” 
Flower opens slowly and has long keeping qualities. Its firm petals 
of creamy yellow contrast strikingly with the handsome foliage. 
Briarcliff—Color more brilliant than Columbia, being a true rose pink 
without any shadings whatever. Long pointed bud and very fra- 
grant. Every bud of this variety is 100 per cent perfect. Abundant 
dark green foliage and habit of plant very vigorous. 
Cavalier (Patented-Samtmann)—A very free flowering, beautiful 
shade of burnt-orange Rose that created quite a sensation at the 
Philadelphia Show last spring. Very much on the order of “Mrs. 
Roosevelt” in growth. Extremely free flowering and a nice grower. 
The flowers on this variety open slowly and evenly, which adds to 
the lasting quality of the same. 
Cecile Brunner—Known under various names, such as Sweetheart, 
Mignon, etc. It is a dainty, miniature Rose. Light pink in color, 
and every greenhouse should have a few plants of this beautiful 
little Rose. 
Chieftain (Patent 150)—A very deep red in color with a slight yel- 
low shading at the base of the bud diffusing a small amount of 
yellow into the red of “Chieftain,” making it a most superior 
growing shade. A very healthy grower producing flowers on sturdy 
stems. Still a very fine red Rose for the greenhouse even though it 
has been in cultivation over five years. 
Golden Rapture—Here we have a beautiful yellow Rose that is the 
same color as Claudia Pernet and is a quick growing, easily handled 
variety. This yellow is rapidly displacing every other yellow at the 
present time. Foliage, stem, habit, and freedom of growth are per- 
fection. We recommend this Rose to any grower looking for a per- 
fect yellow Rose. 
Happy Days (Patented)—The color is a bright clear pink, much 
brighter than that of the original parent, but the growth, stems, 
and foliage, the exact duplicate of Briarcliff. Much longer in the 
bud and naturally a larger flower. 
Joanna Hill—The blooms are clear yellow, deepening at the center 
and hold their color under artificial light. It produces strong stems 
without pinching and can be grown at low cost and sold at a more 
reasonable price than Souv. de Claudius Pernet. 
Lum’s White—A rejuvenation of the old Double White Killarney, 
showing an improvement in growth, a larger flower, and a much 
purer, white color. The growth is much longer and the general ap- 
pearance of the plant better in every way than the original variety. 
Madame Butterfly—A glorified Ophelia. The individual bud is larger 
and the color tints of Ophelia are greatly intensified, making it a 
harmony of bright pink, apricot and gold. 
Mary Hart (Patented)—A scarlet-crimson in color. A sport of “Talis- 
man,” that is a duplicate of that variety in habit and growth and 
to the growers who handled “Talisman” successfully, we recom- 
mend this Rose with every confidence of its being a fit companion 
in its color. 
Mrs. R. M. Finch—A Polyantha Rose that is displacing Cecile Brun- 
ner for growing in the greenhouse. Color, deep shell pink, slightly 
larger in flower than Cecile Brunner and one of the best of the 
Baby Rambler types. 
Orange Nassau—This brilliant Rose distributed for the first time 
last year has proved very popular with our customers. “Orange 
Nassau” is one of the most brilliant Roses that it is possible to 
grow in a greenhouse, very fragrant and a nice grower. The illus- 
tration very truly conveys the color of this remarkable Rose. 
Peter’s Briarcliff—A deep pink sport of the ever popular “Briarcliff.” 
A duplicate of “Briarcliff” in every way except color, which is many 
degrees deeper. 
Pink Delight—A beautiful brilliant pink Rose, stem and foliage all 
that can be desired. The fragrance is more pronounced in this Rose 
than in any others. Rather a tall grower, but if given sufficient 
head room will give a splendid account of itself. 
Pinocchio (Patent No. 84 J@P)—Bright salmon-pink in color, cre- 
ating a sensation wherever shown. Exquisite in form and size. 
Slightly larger than “Mrs. Finch” but an attractive deeper pink, 
flushed salmon. Excellent variety where a miniature is desired. 
President Herbert Hoover—A splendid combination of cerise pink, 
flame, scarlet and yellow, and this combination gives a dazzling 
effect. The flower is large and the bud beautifully pointed. The 
petals are broad and thick, retaining this characteristic days after 
the flowers are open. It is a splendid keeper, and wonderfully 
fragrant. 
Rapture—A much improved sport of Mme. Butterfly. The color is 
an exquisite salmon shade, deeper than the very best Butterfly, with 
the same golden flush at the base of the petals. As a sport of 
Butterfly, Rapture shows all its good characteristics with larger 
foliage and a much heavier growth. 
R. M. S. Queen Mary (Patent No. 249)—The color is a beautiful, 
striking, glistening shade of salmon-pink, which lights up beauti- 
fully under artificial light and makes a marvelous decoration. The 
growth is particularly strong and free, the leaves thick and lustrous, 
and are entirely immune to mildew or black spot. 
Starlite (Patent No. 414 J@P)—Large, full flowers of pure white. 
Long pointed buds on long, strong stems. Heavy dark green foliage, 
well spaced on the stem. A vigorous growing Rose of heavy 
branching habit. The introducer states that this Rose has a pro- 
duction nearly equal to “Talisman.” 
Talisman—A seedling of Ophelia and Souv. de Claudius Pernet. 
“Like a choice, rare cameo, this new seedling Rose stands out in 
rich and distinctive relief against any background.” “Talisman’’ is 
already so well known that it needs no further comment. 
Token (Patented)—A magnificent apricot orange shading to golden- 
pink. Long high pointed buds, and an exquisite variety in every 
way. At the base of the petals is a clear yellow suffusion, which 
lights up the flower beautifully. A Rose that is thoroughly alive 
in color. 
Yellow Gloria (Patented)—An orange sport of Talisman, a most 
pleasing color under any light. Has more petals than any of the 
Talisman types and produces well shaped buds on long stiff stems. 
A wonderful keeper and shipper, and very productive at all sea- 
sons, A fine, clean, healthy grower.
