RAWSON S SPECIALTIES 



Are Novelties of Superior lUlerii 



Now that we give our entire attention to the 



HIGHEST GRADE SEEDS, BULBS and PLANTS 



We shall endeavor at all times to be the first in the field to offer meritorious novelties 



introduced in Europe and America. 



We offer now the latest European Novelty of 

 importance for delivery in April, 1907 



ROSE CHARLOTTE KLEMM (H.P.) 



(RED FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI) 



(Offered for the first time in America by W.W.Rawson&Co. only) 



Description : — This new variety is the result of 

 crossing "Alfred Colomb" (H.P.) with "Cramoisi- 

 Superieur" (Bengal), and will in short time outrival 

 any of the late introductions in Hybrid Perpetuals. 

 Its color is distinct in its class. Rose growers of 

 Europe are at loss to describe it properly in order to 

 let the reader imagine the richness of color. The 

 introducer calls it : Bright glowing crimson ; this 

 might come nearest to it. The shade has no equal 

 ameng roses. The flowers are all quite large, loosely 

 filled and extremely double. Foliage is luxuriant the 

 entire season and is seldom troubled with mildew or 

 rust, not even in unfavorable weather. Most flowers 

 are borne singly and are the first and last on the 

 scene. It has all the qualities to make it one of the 

 most popular Garden Roses in existence. 



PRICE : Extra Strong Plaats, $2.50 each 



As the quantity is limited and we desire to place 

 this novelty in as many hands as possible, we shall 

 supply not more than two plants to any one customer. 



Do Not Overlook That We Are 



HEADQUARTERS FOR 



Rare and Choice Dahlias 



We offer over Four Hundred of the choicest varie- 

 ties of this popular flower and shall be pleased to 

 mail free of charge our complete catalogue with full 

 descriptions and illustrations. 



We list nearly twenty of the rarest kinds, which 

 cannot be duplicated from any other source in the 

 country. 



A WORD ABOUT 



Rawson^s Seeds 



The following testimonial received only a short 

 time ago is ample proof of the " High Quality Seeds " 

 we furnish : 



Elizabeth, N. J., Jan. 28, 1907 

 Gentlemen ; 



We are much ple.ised to say that the seeds we received 

 from you have proved to be of very good quality. It was the 

 la-t lot of seeds we put in, but they have germinated fine and 

 will be ahead of the others nevertheless. 



We are today mailing you another order for seeds. 

 Respectfully Yours 

 (Signed) THE ELIZABETH NURSERY CO.
