NEW My Maryland ^^^^ 



Best up-to-date commercial rose; read what others have to say about it. 



Among the many new roses of the year there is none which has im- 

 pressed us more as being worthy of a thorough trial. It has been 

 exhibited only as 294. being a seedling raised by John Cook of Ba timore. 

 A beautiful rose with an exquisite fragrance : in color it may be 

 described as a soft salmon pink which brightens up beautifully as the 

 bud opens. We are intending to plant this rose in quantity. 



A. N. PiERSON, Cromwell, Conn. 



In reply to your Inquiry what we think of your new rose, My Maryland, 

 we would say that after seeing others we still believe that you have the 

 best new rose of modern times. q^^^ gj^gg Washington, D. C. 



Price 2 and Z.u inch pots, $25 per ICO ; $203 per 1000. Price 3 inch pots, $5 per dozen. 



JOHN COOK, <?h'a?.erSJ Baltimore, Md.

and it is a great keeper.
