Started Budded Rose Plants for Delivery Winter 1953, Spring 1954 
Aristocrat. (Pat. No. 903). A new light pink sport of Pink De- 
light. It is definitely a better producer than the original, 
with equal length of stem, and has a pleasing blend of pink 
colors. 
Better Times. The best all-round money-maker today. Still the 
leader in all markets and the most generally grown variety. 
Too well known and accepted to require further description. 
Demure. (Pat. No. 1065) Cecile Brunner pink, especially fine 
for corsages. Good keeper, good shipper. Heavy petalage. 
Garnette. Crisp, double, small, open Sweetheart flowers of 
garnet red. The foliage is dark green and always attrac- 
tive. Flowers keep for a very long time after cutting and are 
particularly good for corsages, boutonnieres and miniature 
arrangements. This variety is gaining rapidly in wholesale 
and retail favor. Many florists have kept full-open flowers in 
perfect condition for over ten days. Production is increased 
if plants are allowed to become bushy and tall. Also excellent 
as a pot forcer. 
Golden Rapture. 
producer. 
Rich yellow shading to a light yellow. Heavy 
Golden Scepter (Plant Pat. No. 910). A new golden yellow cut 
flower with an excellent bud and open flower, long, strong 
shoots, and rich shiny dark green foliage. A long keeper. 
Golden Scepter has equal production with the Briarcliff va- 
rieties and does not produce light-colored buds as do some of 
the other yellows. It starts quickly and freely after being cut 
or pinched to produce many long-stemmed blooms. It will 
make money for the specialist as well as for the mass producer 
in all seasons of the year. 
Happiness. (Pat. No. 911) A good deep red. Good petalage; 
good shipper. Very long stems. Should be planted a little 
closer than Better Times. 
Hildegarde. (Plant Pat. No. 799). A very uniform good pink 
Briarcliff. This has a suffusion of yellow and does not blue. 
It keeps a clear shade in all seasons. We recommend this 
variety as the best of the Briarcliffs and as very superior to 
the old type. A stronger grower, and does not produce bull- 
heads. Very popular with growers who have it. 
Lily White. (Pat. No. 912) Sport of Starlite. The bud is pointed; 
flower is just a bit shorter, and the production is the same. 
Petal substance is heavier than Starlite. A much better Rose. 
Orange Delight (Plant Pat. No. 874). A different color. A rich 
fragrance. A worth-while novelty that keeps well. Gorgeous 
rich burnt-orange buds and blooms with large, shiny, dark 
holly-like foliage. Both buds and blooms are very attractive 
and keep well after cutting. With their rich fragrance they 
create their own demand wherever seen. Orange Delight pro- 
duces freely at all seasons of the year. An excellent variety to 
plant to have more colors available for your Rose customers. 
Peter’s Briarcliff. The best of the deep pink forms of Briarcliff. 
Very popular. Selected carefully for uniformity in color. 
Vigorous, free grower. 
Pink Garnette. Sport of Garnette with a good clean, clear, deep 
pink color. Very double. 
Pinocchio (Plant Pat. No. 484). The improved Sweetheart and 
most popular of the light pink cluster Roses. Lovely, soft 
shade of pink suffused with yellow. Very prolific production. 
Snow White. (Plant Pat. 348). A clear, firm white with dark 
green foliage and excellent form. 
Tawny Gold. (Pat. No. 950) Orange-yellow bud, opening to a 
clear yellow with ruffled petals. Very fragrant. Long-lasting. 
Minimum order 50 of a variety, write for prices.
