WHAT WE CLAIM 

 FOR OUR 



NEW RED ROSE

 Red Forcings Varie* 

 tj yet Produced. 



1st. It is of strong and rapid growth, more vigorous than 

 any other fordne variety in commerce. 



Snd. It comes to perfection without special care or culture 

 and can be grown in the same soil and temperature and 

 'with the same treatment given to Bride and Maid. 



8rd. It ships perfectly, as it can be cut very tight and devel- 

 ops as well off as on the bush. 



4th. Has very near the same tone of color as Liberty, with 

 more scarlet and does not blue with age. 



6th. This variety it nearly a pure tea, being seeded from 

 LA.DY BATTERSEA,fertilued by LIBERTY, and as 

 a result has shown no tendency toward going dormant in 

 mid-winter, at wluch time the variety is at its very t>est. 



6th. Produces freely throughout the year, long pointed buds 

 on tall straight stems with elegant dark foliage. 



7th Is as easy to root, and grafts as readily as Bride or Maid. 

 8th. Has as delicious a fragrance as American Beauty. 



Wai awarded the silver cup at the W^orld's Fair for best seedling; rose and a special silver cup at Chicas:o 

 for best seedling. Prices, own root— 100 plants for $30; 250 for $70; 1000 for $250. 500 at 1000 rate.
