FKANCIS SCOTT KEY
An American seedling raised by Mr. John Cook, the raiser of Cardinal,
Radiance and other fine Roses. It is a seedling of Cardinal crossed with an
unnamed crimson -seedling and is a grand acquisition to our red Roses. A
strong sturdy grower whether planted out in the open or on benches in the
greenhouse. The flowers are.a deep red, of largest size, with finely formed petals
of great substance. The stems are strong and straight, holding the flowers erect.
The profusion of bloom is truly marvellous, every shoot producing a flower.
We have every confidence that this grand new variety will attain the widest
popularity as an outdoor bedding Rose on account of its free habit, superb
color and fine double flowers.
Price,. 1st size, $1.00 each; 2d size, 75c. each; 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 50c.
each, $5.00 per doz.
HADLEY
In the Hadley we have a Rose that possesses a rich and lasting crims on color,
coupled with vigor of growth, robust constitution, and free blooming
habit. It will be welcomed alike by the grower who forces Roses
under glass for cut flowers, and the one who plants outdoors
for summer flowers. It is a development of a strain of
red Roses, including Liberty, Gen. McArthur and
Richmond. The color is magnificent, rich velvety-
crimson, retaining its brilliancy throughout the
season. The fragrance is delightful and refresh-
ing. The flowers are borne on long stems and
keep in good condition a long time when cut.
The growth is splendid, sturdy and healthy
the foliage large and abundant.
Price, 1st size, $1.00 each; 2d size, 75c.
each; 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 50c. each,
$5.00 per doz.
OUR THIRD SIZE ROSES
ARE GROWN IN THREE -INCH POTS
They are superior to the young Roses
from 2-inch pots usually sent out because
the larger pot gives ample room for root
action and allows the plant to grow
naturally. They are sturdy and compact
and when sent by express with the soil
on the roots, transplanting scarcely
checks their growth.
In the cut below we show a fair sample
of a 2-inch pot plant as usually sent out
by the mail trade and a fair sample
taken from our stock growing in a 3-inch
pot.

Mme. edouard herriot
_ This variety gained great prominence in Europe as the "Daily Mail Rose,"
having won the Daily Mail cup offered for the finest new Rose at the Inter-
national Rose Exhibition in England in 1912. It is a wonderful Rose. The
combination of color shown in the buds and flowers is distinct and charming.
In the bud it is coral-red shaded with yellow at the base, the open flowers coral-
red shaded with yellow and bright rosy-scarlet, passing to shrimp-red; flowers of
medium size, well formed and not too full. The plant is a most vigorous grower,
of a spreading, branching habit, with ample bronzy-green foliage.
Price, 1st size, $1.50 each; 2d size, $1.00 each.

reflexed tips. The backs of the petals are heavily veined with
crimson-maroon.
Awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose Society
of England.

IRISH FIRE FLAME
The flowers of this exquisite variety are
single. The gorgeous super-imposing of
intense color gradations spontaneously
conveys the idea of a flame. In the bud
state it is deep orange splashed with
crimson, which as the bud develops
becomes fiery orange-crimson changing
to delicate orange in the fully opened
flower. Deliriously fragrant. A grand
Rose that should be in every garden.
Awarded Gold Medal of the National
Rose Society of England.

75c. each; 3d size, from 3-inch pots,

Tea Rose. In the bud it is particu-
larly attractive. The color is a vivid
orange - red , with coppery - red and
apricot shadings. A gem for cut flowers,
the blooms lasting a long time in per-
fect condition. _ The healthy , glossy ,
bronze-green foliage forms a delightful
contrast to the rich coloring of the
flowers. It is sweet scented, very free
flowering, a good grower and almost
mildew proof.
Price, 1st size, $1.25 each; 2d size,
$1.00 each; 3d size, from 3-inch pots,
35c. each, $3.50 per doz.
OTHELLO
PANAMA

the well known Frau Karl Druschki crossed
with an unnamed light pink seedling, and
was raised by Mr. John Cook. It is a healthy
grower carrying the flowers on long stems,
remarkably free blooming and fragrant. The
color is delicate rosy flesh, very soft in the
center, and shaded with a lighter flesh at
the ends of the petals. The judges for the
American Rose Society thought so well of
this variety at the Hartford Rose Test
Garden that they awarded a Silver Medal
for it. (See cut.)

shadings at the base of the petals. Large well formed

pleasing. The foliage is a handsome, dark, glossy green;
