NEW POLYANTHA, OR BABY ROSES-Concluded 



RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA— The defects of 

 Crimson Rambler are its unsightly foliage in unseasonable 

 weather and its defoliation by insects; the infusion of Wichu- 

 raiana blood assures an ornamental climber which is nearly 

 evergreen, and this will assure this lovely crimson-scarlet pillar 

 Rose a place in every American garden, for it is quite hardy in 

 addition to all its other fine points.. The flowers are very 

 double, produced in large trusses of thirty to forty, and almost 

 every eye on a shoot produces large clusters of flowers. _ The 

 color is intense crimson-maroon, the .tips of the petals tinged 

 with scarlet. The finest of all red Climbing Roses. 25 cents; 

 two-year plants, 50 cents. 



ROSARIE, or PINK THOUSAND BEAUTIES— This is a 

 bright pink form of that famous Rose. "Thousand Beauties." 

 A grand .Rose from any standpoint. 25 cents; two-year 

 plants, 60 cents. 



SHOWER OF GOLD — This variety produces masses of flowers 

 in large clusters. _ The color is a deep golden-yellow, with 

 orange shadings in the center. Enormous lateral branches 

 are produced, which are densely clad with glossy green foliage 

 that resists disease. This fills the "long-felt want" for a hardy 

 yellow Climbing Rose. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



SILVER MOON — Flowers very large, four and one-half inches 

 and over in diameter. Pure white in color; petals of great 

 substance, beautifully cupped, forming a clematis-like flower. 

 The large bunch of yellow stamens in the center adds to its 

 attractiveness. These flowers are borne on strong stems twelve 

 to eighteen inches long, and are delicately scented. The plant 

 is a strong grower, with large, glossy, bronze-green foliage. 

 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAUTIES— A Climbing 

 Rose that comes to us from Germany. The flowers upon first 

 opening are the most delicate shade of pink ever seen in a Rose. 

 might be described as a white delicate flushed pink, changing 

 to rosy-carmine. It gets its name from its many flowers and 

 the variation in coloring. This Rose is sweeping the country 

 like a prairie fire. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



VEILCHENBLAU (The Wonderful New Blue Rose)— This is 

 a Rambler, and will thrive anywhere, being perfectly hardy. 

 It has created a great stir in the Rose World, for the ta'k of a 

 Blue Rose has been going on since time immemorial. It first 

 opens a pink color, quickly changing to a decided violet blue. 

 When the plant is in full bloom it presents a startling effect. 

 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.
