GREENHOUSE ROSES STANDARD VARIETIES 
Price: 2)2”—$50.00 per 100; 3’—$60.00 per 100; A” —$70.00 per 100 
Better Times (Patented)—The outstanding Rose of the dec- 
ade. Its color is a brilliant cerise pink with a silvery sheen, as 
the flower develops. Very firm texture with beautiful clean 
heavy foliage. 
Briarcliff—Color more brilliant than Columbia, being a true 
rose pink without any shadings whatever. Long pointed bud 
and very fragrant. 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, beau- 
tiful shade of burnt-orange Rose that created quite a sensation 
at the Philadelphia Show last Spring. Very much on the ordet 
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 Sweet- 
heart, 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. 
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 perfection. We recommend this Rose to 
any grower looking for a perfect 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 Souy. de Claudius 
Pernet. 
Mrs. R. M. Fineh—A Polyantha Rose that is displacing Cecile 
Brunner 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. 
Peter’s Briareliff—A deep pink sport of the ever popular 
“Briarcliff.” A duplicate of “Briarcliff? in every way except 
color, which is many degrees deeper. 
Pink Bountiful (Plant Patent No. 601)—A petite relative of 
a Hybrid Tea Rose, splendid for miniature arrangements, the 
ovoid buds are tinted deep reddish pink, enfolding into flowers 
with a buff, salmon pink heart, flushed deeper pink on the 
outer petals, clear rich pink when fully open. A variety that 
is extremely easy to grow and a most prolific bloomer. An en- 
tirely new blood strain that is proving very popular as a cut 
flower. Price: 2% -ineh, $70.00 per 100: 3-inch, 
$80.00 and 4-inch, $90.00. 
Pinocehio (Patent No. 84 J&P)—Bright salmon-pink in color, 
creating 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. 
Rapture—A much improved sport of Mme. Butterfly. The color 
is an exquisite salmon shade, deeper than the very best Butter- 
fly, 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. 
Red Delicious (Plant Patent No. 620)—This bright velvety 
red rose is a seedling of “Rome Glory” and “Chieftain” with 
a lovely apple fragrance which accounts for its name. It is a 
very free blooming variety. Its chief fault is that it is not too 
strong in the neck but as the young plants get established, this 
point strengthens considerably. Price: 2¥% -inch, $70.00 
per 100; 3-inch, $80.00 and 4-inech, $90.00. 
R. M. S. Queen Mary (Patent No. 249)—The color is a 
beautiful, striking, glistening shade of salmon-pink, which 
lights up beautifully under artificial light and makes a mar- 
velous decoration. The growth is particularly strong and free, 
the leaves thick and lustrous, and are entirely immune to mil- 
dew or black spot. 
Spitfire (Plant Patent No. 617)—A seedling of “Better Times,” 
dark, velvety red in color, of very strong fragrance. One of the 
miniature type with blooms not over 2 or 3 inches in size. A 
most attractive variety all the way from the bud stage to the 
fully opened flower. Extremely productive, producing flowers 
on stems from 10 to 21 inches. Priee: 2¥% -inch, $70.00 
per 100; 3-inch, $80.00 and 4-inch, $90.00. 
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 production nearly equal to “Talisman.” 
Talisman—A seedling of Ophelia and Souv. de Claudius Per- 
net. “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 suf- 
fusion, which lights up the flower beautifully. A Rose that is 
thoroughly alive in color. 
Wanity Fair (Roberts Patent 583)—One of the most exquisite 
greenhouse Roses that has been introduced to date. A lovely 
soft shade of shell-pink that is in demand on many occasions. 
Long pointed buds produced on heavy stems with fine dark 
green foliage. This is without exception the most fragrant 
Rose on the market today and it retains this fragrance until the 
very last petal has fallen from the flower. Flowers, after being 
cut, will keep in ideal condition for over a week. In other 
words, it holds the petals long after heavier Roses have dropped 
all their petals. 
Yellow Gloria (Patented)—All 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 pro- 
ductive at all seasons. A fine, clean, healthy grower.
