GREENHOUSE ROSES— FORCING VARIETIES 
Price: 21/2 inch $60.00 per 100, 3 inch $70.00 per 100, 4 inch $80.00 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. 
Briareliff—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. 
Celebrity (Patented)—The large pointed bud with its high 
center blooms of deep geranium-pink and yellow hase opens 
to a rich satiny pink that is attractive at all stages from the 
tight bud to the mature flower. This particular variety has an 
exceptionally spicy fragrance and its lovely, dark green foliage 
is a handsome foil for the brilliantly rich flower. A very free 
flowering sort and one that we thoroughly recommend to all 
customers, 
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. 
Joanna Will—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. 
Raptaure—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 hase of the petals. As a 
sport of Butterfly, Rapture shows all its good characteristics 
with larger foliage and a much heavier growth. 
Red Delicious (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 
strenghtens considerably. 
rm. 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. 
) NOVELTY ROSE INTRODUCTION ? 
— 1948 
( Raving Beauty (Patent)—This variety tends towards a ( 
) dark rose color rather than carmine, and the general J 
effect of a newly opened Rose is rose color on the outside 
( of the petals and a much deeper color on the inside ¢ 
) surface of the petals. In the bud stage it is definitely J) 
rose-red. Foliage is abundant and heavy, An extremely 
( free grower with long, ovoid buds. Flower form is full ¢ 
) and globular and the size of the flowers when fully open J 
is about 3 to 4 inches across with about 35-40 petals. A 
( most penetrating Tea fragrance of very free-blooming ¢ 
) habit, and its keeping qualities recommend it to everyone. J 
It resembles Better Times in type of growth more than 
( any other Rose in cultivation. S 
Spitfire (Patent No. 617)—A seedling of “Better Times,” dark, 
velvety red in color, or 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. 
Starlite (Patent No, 414)—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 Roce of 
heavy branching habit. The introducer states that this Rose 
has a production nearly equaly to “Talisman.” 
Talisman—A seedling of Ophelia and Souv. de Claudius Per- 
net. “Like a choice, rare cameo, this new seedling Nose stands 
out in rich and distinctive relief against any background.” 
“Talisman” is already so well known that it needs no further 
comment, 
Vanity Fair (Patent 583)—One of the most exquisite green- 
house 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.
