(1912) Page(s) 4. Includes photo(s). Dark Pink Killarney A clear dark pink color that is bright through the dark days of Fall and Winter when Killarney is pale and unattractive. A variety that is more productive than KilIarney, but one that needs careful handling to be brought to perfection: such is Dark Pink Killarney. The foliage is smaller than Killarney with a tendency to scald in hot weather. To be properly handled it should be grown cool to obtain size of bloom and number of petals. It will not thrive under conditions of heavy feeding and too high temperature. It is a variety that should be counted on for a money maker in Winter, but not in hot weather.

(1912) Page(s) 8. Includes photo(s). Double Pink Killarney. Similar to Killarney in habit of growth and blooming qualities, but differing in having increase of petalage. Light, even shade of pink in color.
(1912) Page(s) 2. Includes photo(s). Double White Killarney... As this variety is strong in the points wherein its parent is weak, coming free from the tinge of pink in warm weather...The foliage in general characteristics is the same, but is larger and deeper in color.
(1912) Page(s) 8. Killarney. The most popular forcing Rose that has ever been introduced, and without doubt the most profitable Rose ever grown. It is too well known to need description.
(1912) Page(s) 3. Includes photo(s). Killarney Queen. (Budlong) A cerise pink sport of Killarney that for clearness and brightness of color has not been equalled. Exceptionally strong in growth, with foliage that is perfect, being larger than Killarney and more glossy. In size of petals Killarney Queen is larger than its parent, and for high-grade bloom it is a very superior variety. (See illustration, front cover.) Killarney Queen stands in a class by itself as the grandest Rose that has ever been offered. From the standpoint of production it is nearly the equal of Killarney, and individual plants have carried at one time six blooms of exhibition quality with three foot stems on single growths. We are giving Killarney Queen the front cover of our catalogue, and believe it worthy of first consideration by the Rose lovers of the country.
(1912) Page(s) 7. Includes photo(s). Mrs. Taft (Antoine Rivoire) For Summer blooming this variety is a general favorite wherever grown. Its beautifully formed shell-pink bloom, backed by handsome glossy foliage, make it very popular as the variety becomes known. Under a misapprehension, owing to a mistaken identification, this variety was sold last year as Prince de Bulgarie. Our stock is larger, and our predictions have been fulfilled, for the Rose has become one of the most called for varieties of commerce.
(1912) Page(s) 8. White Killarney. (Waban Strain) White Killarney has most successfully advertised itself. Like its parent, the pink Killarney, it has become one of the most popular Roses grown to-day. As an all the year round white it has no equal. It has proved all that its best friends ever claimed for it, both in quality and productiveness. It was a standard from the first.
