Pelargonium Novelties In 1910, when we ! offered as oui Novelty of that year the new ever-bloom- ing Pelargonium Eastar Greeting, we made the statement that’ it would be the forerunner of a new race of ever-bloom- ing Pelargoniums. Since that time we have introduced, Lucy Becker, Wurtem- bergia and Swabian Maid. We also predicted that these four Novelties of our introduction would greatly increase the demand for a plant that rivals' the Azalea in beauty. That they have filled this claim is shown not only by the num- ber of firms now offering them as a sub- stitute for the .Azalea for Easter but also by the fact that the demand now’ exceeds the supply. Our out-door bed of Wurtembergia w’as tbs most admired of any variety on bur grounds last season being covered ■with bloom and buds until late in Sep- tember. Our Everblooming or Remo'ntant Set Price: 15c.

It§ habit, foliage, robust growth, and ever- blooming qualities are like its parent, Easter Greeting, and can therefore be grown either as a pot plant or bedded out. WURTEMBERGIA— Easter Greeting Sport. Medium sized florets of a bright carmine, with large velvety, .sharply defined blotches. Has all the good qual- ities of its parent. Equally valuable bedded out or as a pot plant.

This vari- • Dozen, $7.00 per Hundred cty is bound to make a place for itself with those who are looking for some- thing new in bedding plants. We -consider this much the best of the > sgt, being much stronger in growth than Easter Greeting and showing the rich- est color of its class.

Rooted Cuttings, $3.00 per Hundred, $25.00 per Thousand; except where noted WHITES MATCHLESS — This splendid robust white variety well deserves the popular- ity that it has won; beside being of exhibition size and quality, it is a true commercial, easy to handle, comes into bloom early, and is quite continuous; a non-burster; ranks at the very top for quality and profit.

H. DeWitt & Co., Wooster, Ohio 13 CARNATIONS— ROOTED CUTTINGS WHITE ENCHANTRESS— Ours is a carefully selected strain, in perfect con- dition, and in good health. SCARLETS ANI) CRIMSON BELLE WASHBURN (Novelty, 191(1 — Bassett & Washburn) — “Brilliant red — size 3%to 4 inches, on stems 24 to 36 inches; never bursts its calyx; is as free and continuous as Enchantress; comes into bloom by December 1 and is continuous throughout the season.” $3.50 per Hundred, $30.00 per Thousand CHAMPION — An extra fine scarlet very early in its production of good flowers, very free, with long stiff stems, good calyx and a fine flower of very intense, clear shade. The variety has been characterized as “The Scarlet White Wonder”; growing in popularity with careful carnation men. A fine companion for Beacon. Grow some of both. BEACON — Still “the” standard red; probably the freest carnation in exist ence. Our stock is in magnificent con- dition, and has shown no deterioration. Carefully selected. POCAHONTAS— This variety is deserving of the name magnificent in form, size, and especially in color, which is velvety crimson with lighter shad- ings; it has stiff stems, perfectly erect, and is free in bloom; as nearly perfect as a variety can be — sells on sight. The finest crimson yet produced. $3.50 per Hundred, $30.00 per Thousand PINK VARIETIES ALICE COOMBS (Novelty, 1916 — A. Roper) — Of lovely clear, bright pink, a trifle deeper than Gloriosa, and a free, strong grower with medium grass and a long, very strong stem. It belongs in the large-flowered class, blooms freely produced, one of the best keepers and an easy doer. NANCY (Dorner’s Novelty, 1916) — “Lovely, light salmon, a little deeper than Pink Delight, and more even in color. Blooms 3 inches and over, never shows a bursted calyx; stems upright; as a producer stands highest among commercial varieties.” MRS. C. W. WARD — A perfectly formed flower with full center; color, deep pink, of pure brilliant shade, hav- ing strong, erect stems 24 to 36 inches in length. The most popular pink vari- ety on the market. ENCHANTRESS— Still the leader with a great many florists who put their chief dependence on it and its white sport. By persistent and careful selection of cuttings, our stock is prime — truly “select.” ROSE-PINK — Still indispensable to many growers. Our stock of this vari- ety has been annually selected to color. ENCHANTRESS SUPREME — Color a light salmon pink — a shade that is not only very attractive, but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without bleaching, and retains its color at all seasons. Promises to supersede Enchant- ress entirely, because it does not split, and because it holds its color. 14 F. H. DeWitt & Co., Wooster, Ohio ROSES C O L II M 15 1 A — Habit — This variety sends up quickly numerous stiff stems which are of good length without pinching, and to produce Extras and Specials requires less attention to pinch- ing than any variety that we know, as it naturally throws long, stiff, smooth stems. Foliage — It is a free, easy grower with beautiful foliage, the leaves spaced just right to please a cut-flower grower, and to form a fine setting for the bloom. Thornless for 10 to 12 inches below the flower, as well as very few thorns on the lower stem. Color — True pink, about the shade of a perfect Shawyer, deepening as it opens to glowing pink; a peculiarity of the variety is that the shades all become more intense until the full maturity of the open flower is reached. Size — It is one of the Big Roses, and takes on a wonderful depths. Orders filled in strict rotation.

FRANCIS SCOTT KEY— An Amer- ican seedling, raised in Baltimore, and one of the very finest of all the red Roses for Summer culture. Flowers extra large and full. Splendid variety to grow as it is not addicted to either Hack spot or mildew. $7.00 per Hun., $60.00 Per Thous. HOOSIER BEAUTY — The red rose of 1915, which has been found more profitable than Richmond. The color is magnificent — crimson scarlet with darker shadings and a vel- vety texture. Bud long and pointed; can be cut fairly close and is a splendid keeper and shipper. Has more petals than Richmond; delic- iously fragrant; a good salable rose in Summer as well as in Winter. Free and continuous, flowers on every shoot. Easy to do; does not need pinching. Clean in growth, does not mildew nor spot; takes a trifle lower temperature than Killarney. Growers of the variety report that it cuts as many to the plant as Ophelia. We are sure that even exclusive of the short stems, this variety produces more good buds to the plant than any red variety now before the trade. $7.00 per Hun., $60.00 per Thous. HADLEY — This is a nice, bushy grower, and produces dark crimson-scar- let buds on good stems. With a number of the large growers it is a favorite; the habit is ideal, the bloom exquisitely beautiful, magnificent in form and color. $7.00 per Hun., $60.00 per Thous. KILLARNEY- — The standard pink rose, grown by ninety-nine per cent, of the florists of the country up to the present year. Our stock is fine. KILLARNEY BRILLIANT— The deep crimson-pink sport of Killarney. This variety in the majority of establish- ments is superseding old Killarney which cannot be depended upon to hold its color; even when Killarney Brilliant runs lighter, it is still a fine, intense shade which sells well, while the older sort cannot be given away when “off color.” $6.00 per Hun., $50.00 per Thous. WHITE KILLARNEY, “The White Rose cf the Century” — Our only white forcing variety for the present and so extremely satisfactory that we would hardly need a better, though we would like something as good — and different just for variety. $6.00 per Hun., $50.00 per Thous. 1) O U B L E W H I T E KILLAR- NEY — With many growers used in preference to the original White Kil- larney, as it has many more petals and makes a finer flower for warm weather use. $6.00 per Hun., $50.00 per Thous. MRS. GEO, SHAWYER— Wonderfully free in bloom, profuse in production of good strong breaks, and of fine leathery foliage. Color, bright peach-pink; buds long and well filled, carried on 3 and 4-foot stems; a first favorite with a great F. H. DeWitt & Co., Wooster, Ohio ie many growers, and the majority vote for own-root stock of this variety. We quote own root only. $7.00 per Hun., $(>0.00 per Thous. MRS. GEO. SHAWYER 2d— MRS. W. RAYARI) THAYER The Light Pink Sport of Mrs. Russell — Soft shell-pink. 3d— DARK PINK SPORT OF MRS. CHAS. RUSSELL — Exactly like Russell save in color, which is a gorgeous shade of deep reddish pink. Above three own root $10.00 per Hun. Grafted $10.00 per Hund. MRS. AARON WARD Might be styled “Orange Beauty”; it is a rose that sells as well on short stems as long, and in immense quanti- ties; the ideal corsage variety and very freely used for low table decorations. Has the prettiest foliage of any forc- ing variety, carried quite up to the flower. $6.00 per Hun., $50.00 per Thous.

KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTOR- IA — The beautiful summer white, indis- pensable with many firms. Good own-root stock only, summer propagated, repotted and grown on into fine, strong, heavy, 2j4 inch. Our Kaiserin is recognized as of high quality. $5.00 per Hun,. $50.00 per Thous. THE THREE RUSSELLS 1st.— MRS. CHAS W. RUSSELL— In a class by itself just as American Beauty is, and one of the very best sellers in the market; both plants and cut blooms always in heavy demand. Each year an increasing number of florists are finding how to handle this grand variety, when well done it leaves little to be desired. MY MARYLAND Lovely glowing pink; the freest rose in growth and bloom that we know. A splendid bedder. A grand summer variety for cutting. Our stock is fine, summer propagated and once repotted. Sells in enormous quantity each year, and is in constantly increasing demand, as florists find its value as a warm-wea- ther cut flower variety. $5.00 per Hun., $45.00 per Thous. OPHELIA Is grown by every wide-awake flor- ist — the queen of fancy roses — orange- salmon. No forcing variety ever at- tained such wide popularity so prompt- ly, and it tops the list for profit. i6 F. H. DeWitt & Co., Wooster, Ohio No other forcing rose compares with it for “coming back” quickly after cut- ting. It has the handsomest foliage in the family, “ample,” large and of wonderful texture; noted for its splendid stems; it is the most fragrant of forcing varie- ties, with the full “June-rose” fra- grance. Ophelia stands charged with pushing Killarney off the stage! (There ought to be room for both.) $7.00 per Hun., $60.00 per Thous. Polyantha or Baby Rambler Roses Standard Varieties Including the Hybrid Polyanthas. They Are Hardy. $5.00 per Hundred, $45.00 per Thousand; except where noted. TIP TOP, “BABY DOLL” (Lambert, 1915) — This delightful little “Sweet- heart” Rose is a wonder. The color is absolutely new, and quite startling in its brilliancy, golden-yellow tipped with clear, bright cerise. The foliage is narrow, long and sharply pointed, a deep glossy green — a very beautiful set- ting for the lovely little doll-roses, a bench of “Baby Doll” being an even parterre of delicious color. $1.50 per dcz., $10.00 per Hun. MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUN- NER (Ducher, 1880)— (H. Poly.) This is the popular Baby Pink or “Sweet- heart” Rose. In the past year or two this Rose has fairly jumped into popu- larity. It always was a popular out- door Rose on the Pacific Coast, but re- cently even in the effete East and every- where in America they are planting it simply by the thousands for cut flowers. It has become quite the rage. It makes a handsome miniature Rose, coming in sprays of three to five buds. It is a very prolific bloomer and if carefully protected in the winter should be a money maker, both outdoors and under glass. The bud and flower are both handsome. Color blush, shaded light salmon-pink; distinct and desirable. JESSIE ( Merryweather, 1909) — This new Baby Rambler is an ideal Rose for massing, bedding or for pot culture. The flowers, which are produced in huge clusters, are of a bright cherry-crimson color which does not fade. Superb. The best of all the Baby Ramblers for pot culture. MOSELLA (Lambert, 1S95) — (H. P.) Bears large flowers for this class; cen- ter of flower chrome-yellow; edges of petals shading out to creamy-white. Fine bedding Rose. MRS. WILLIAM H. CUTBUSH (Lev- avasseur, 1907) — One of the very finest types of the Baby Rambler Roses. It produces in constant profusion through- out the entire summer its pleasing deli- cate pink blooms in large trusses; also extra fine for pot culture. ANNA MULLER (Schmidt, 1907)— This Rose is very much the same as the Crimson Baby Rambler, except in the color of its flowers, which are a shiny, brilliant pink produced in the greatest profusion in large clusters. It is a splendid companion to the other excell- ent members of this family. This is the original pink Baby Rambler. BABY RAMBLER, or MADAME N. LEVAVASSEUR ( Levavasseur, 1903) — This is the original Baby Rambler. It is in bloom all the time, flowers in large clusters of brightest crimson. It grows to a height of eighteen inches and hides the plant with its bloom. A most won- derful Rose. ORLEANS (Levavasseur, 1910) — The showiest and prettiest of all the Baby Ramblers. This charming and dainty Rose is of beautiful rounded habit and is a huge bouquet of deep cerise or Geranium-pink with distinct showy cen- ter of pure white; florets not crowded but of beautiful arrangement, making as a whole a charming combination that cannot be beaten. The color is irresist- ible. The plant grows like a weed and the flowers are nearly “immortelle” in their lasting qualities. We believe that they will outlast almost any other Rose in existence with their stiff paper-like texture. This pretty Rose has taken Europe by storm and has made a sensa- tion. Awarded gold medal. PAQUERETTE (Guillot, 1876)— This is one among the very first Baby Ramb- ler Roses sent out. The flowers are very double and pure white. This Rose has many favorites. F. H. DeWitt & Co., Wooster, Ohio PE RLE d’OR (Dubreil, 1883)— Nan- keen-yellow with orange center; very novel and beautiful. This Rose is divid- ing honors with “Mile. Cecil Brunner” as a cut flower, being planted very largely for this purpose. Charming miniature Rose. PRIMULA (Soupert, 1900)— Consid- ered by many to be the most popular of the Raby Rambler Roses. Crows to a height of two feet. Very hardy. Always in bloom. The color is the shade of the Lawson Carnation — beautiful carmine- pink. For ourselves, wc are very fond of this Rose. PRINCESS MARIE ADELAIDE ( Soupert, 1896) — A grand Baby Rambler Rose. Flowers of good size. The color is a bright pink, flushed with yellow; extra. CATHERINE ZEIMET, or WHITE BABY RAMBLER (Lambert, 1901)— This is surely a beauty and a great addition to the Baby Ramblers. Grows to a height of twenty inches and pro- duces double pure white flowers in abundance. It has a fragrance similar to Hyacinths, of free, compact growth and very attractive. It produces a sheet of white bloom that is certainly a sight worth seeing. CLOTHILDE SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting, 1890) — (H. Poly.) Known the world over as one of the very best of all bedding Roses. The only rival of “Her- mosa” as a bedder and market pot plant. The color effect is beautiful ivory-white, shading towards the center to bright silvery-pink. Everybody’s Rose.
