IMPERIAL COLLECTION. 



THESE VARIETIES ARE THE VERY BEST FOR WINTER BLOOM- 

 ING OR FOR FALL PLANTING IN THE YARD. 



Admiral Dewey. — The color is very delicate pink or day- 

 break blush. A grand variety. 



Aurora. — The flower resembles in shape a high-built Chrys- 

 anthemum. The color is bright pink. Very desirable. 



Bouquet of Gold. — The richest and deepest yellow of all 

 Roses. 



Clara Barton. — A rare and exquisite shade of amber pink. 

 An exquisite rose in every way. 



Gardenia.— This is one of the prettiest and daintiest of garden 

 Teas. Its buds are slender and pointed, as they open showing 

 a flesh pink center surrounded by snowy white. The open 

 flower recurves its petals, which are of heavy texture, and its 

 form is like a Cape Jasmine, hence its name. The open flower 

 is the purest paper white. Free grower and very free in bloom. 



Griiss an Teplltz. — This is claimed by many to be the best of 

 all red bedding Roses. 



Helen Cambler. — This is a garden rose par excellence. Color 

 white and orange yellow. 



Johanna Wesselhoff. — The bud is of the largest size, while 

 the open flower is enormous for a rose; the color is the deepest 

 golden yellow. 



L'Innocence. — This great Rose was awarded the gold medal 

 at the Lyons (France) exhibition. It may be called the White 

 Madame Caroline Testout, of which it is an offspring. Flowers 

 large, full, deep and double, globular in form. Color bright, 

 snowy white. Indoors or outdoors, this is a superb Rose. 



Lottie Bcumgardner. — This is a new Rose sent us by one of 

 our customers in Florida. She says it is peculiarly adapted to 

 cultivation in the sandy soil and hot climate of that state. It 

 originated with her and she recommends it so highly that we 

 have grown a stock and named it for her. Color brilliant car- 

 mine, shading to silvery peach. Very delicate and beautiful. 



Maid of Honor. — A sport from Bridesmaid, and is several 

 shades deeper than that variety. Its connection with the 

 Mermet family of Roses would indicate its worth. 



Mrs. Robt. Garrett. — The grandest of all pink Roses; very 

 dainty and very handsome.
