NEW HYBRID TEA ROSES. 



Augustine Guinoiseau or White La France. Delicate blush, changing 

 to pale flesh, almost white ; a healthy grower and free bloomer. 



Souvenir de Wootton. Color velvet red; continuous flowering qualities; 

 most prolific bloomer, every shoot containing a flower bud. 



Duchess of Albany. This variety is identical with the well-known and 

 popular La France, except that its color is a rich, deep, even pink throughout. 



All roses except noted 25c and 50c each; five and three for $1.00. 

 My roses are not delicate little plants from the greenhouse, but strong, vigorous 

 field-grown plants. 



When ordering always make a second selection. 



GENERAL COLLECTION OF PLANTS. 

 ABUTILONS.

 free bloomer, long stems, profuse and perpetual bloomer. Each 10c to 25c.

 salmon parachutes on brown stems; foliage small; stems veined brown. Each

Infanta Eulalia. This is a perfect gem; the flowers are exquisite light 

 pink, very flaring; dwarf habit. Each 10c to 20c. 



Beautifull Bells. A very distinct and handsome variety which forms 

 tree-like plants and bears beautiful flowers (Beautiful Bells) on long, thread-like 

 stems; the color on the outside of the flower is dark, brownish -maroon; inside 

 orange, veined dark red; the flowers are flaring, the petals overlap, and roll back 

 at the edges in a very pretty manner. Each 15c. 



Savitsi. A very decided improvement on Souv. de Bonn, which I have dis- 

 carded. The leaves are heavily marked with pure, silvery white. The variega- 

 tions are exceedingly beautiful, making it a fine decorative plant. There is no 

 abutilon can compare with it for striking beauty. Each 15c to 25c. 



ASPIDISTRA Xjurida. One of the most satisfactory plants for house 

 decoration; the leaves start from the ground on long, slender stems, from 4 to 6 

 inches in length, and are from 8 to 20 inches long, and 4 to 6 inches in width ; 

 they are round at the base and pointed at the ends ; are thick and leathery and a 

 beautiful green ; this plant will grow anywhere in the house ; needs very little 

 care, excepting to sponge the leaves occasionally and keep supplied with water. 

 Plants with 3 leaves, each 30c; larger, 50c to $1.00; extra large plants, $1.50 

 to $2.00. 



ACHILlLEA, "The Pearl." The flowers are borne in the greatest pro- 

 fusion the entire summer, on strong, erect stems. Pure white in color, somewhat 

 resembling the Pompon Chrysanthemum. Each 10c; 2 for 15c.
