The "EXCELSIOR" List of Ever-Blooming Roses—Concluded 



MADISON — Pure white, exquisite. 



MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden Roses)— Such 



beauty and exquisite form as is possessed by this variety is well- 

 nigh marvelous, and cannot be seen in any other Rose we know 

 of. The buds are beautiful, large, full and firm and elegantly 

 pointed; as they expand they show great depth and richness 

 sometimes measuring two and a half inches from base to tip. 

 Flowers superb when open, extra large, perfectly douDle and of 

 splendid substance. Small pfot plants will in the open ground 

 quickly make large, strong bushes and produce, on long, stiff 

 stems, great numbers of perfect flowers that are enchanting in 

 fragrance and de'icate brightness. The color is rich, clear 

 pink, changing to a silvery rose. As we see it, one good Rose 

 like any of the Cochet Roses is worth a whole collection of 

 poor ones. 25 cents each; two-year-old, 50 cents each. 



MARIE GUILLOT— The old standby for a pure white Rose. 



MARIE VAN HOUTTE — Straw-yellow flushed with crimson. 



METEOR — A grand rich dark crimson; superfine. 



MELODY — Color, pure deep saffron-yellow. Extra. 



MISS CYNTHIA FORDE— Deep brilliant rose-pink. 



MISS WILMOT (H. T.)— The most refined and charming Rose 

 ever raised. There is an appealing sweetness about this most 

 distinct variety that will please lovers of Roses all the wor'd 

 over. The color is practically a uniform soft sulphury-cream 

 with the faintest flush towards the edges. In shape and form 

 this Rose is a model of perfection, every flower comes perect 

 and produced with a freedom that is marvelous. A wonderful 

 garden Rose. Go'd Medal, N. R. S... 25 cents each; two- 

 year plants, 50 cents each. 



MRS. AARON WARD — Golden-orange, distinct and beautiful. 



MRS. A. R. WADDELL— Clear deep salmon.

 cerise coral-fawn. Very de'iciously fragrant. Awarded gold 

 medal, N. R. S. 25 cents each; two-year plants, 50 cents 

 each. 



MRS. CHARLES BELL (Pierson, 1918)— This new Rose will 

 appeal to those who grow Roses out of doors. It may be de" 

 scribed as a shell-pink Radiance, and is a sport of that weH 

 known Rose. It has no characteristics which make it distinct 

 from Radiance excent that it is shell-pink. Mrs. Chas. Bell, 

 Red Radiance and Radiance offer a range of color that wi'l be 

 welcome. No finer garden Rose for America than these three. 

 25 cents each; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL (H. T.)— This wonderful new 

 American Rose has taken the country by storm. No other 

 forcing Rose except "American Beauty" can compete with it 

 when it comes to counting points. Stems three feet long; stiff 

 and surmounted by grand rosy-fink blooms of the largest size 

 and build. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents each. 



MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER— Bright peach-pink; superb. 



MRS. HENRY WINNETT (H. T.)— This is a seedling raised by 

 John H. Dunlap, of Canada, and has the distinction of being 

 the first seedling Rose of Canadian origin that has been offered 

 in commerce. In color it is a bright shade of crimson, not so 

 dark as Hadley, and not so light as Richmond. It is a color 

 that pleases the retail storeman and nis patrons. The finest of 

 all the red or crimson varieties. The buds are long and well 

 formed. A superb red Rose. 25 cents each; two-year plants, 

 50 cents each. 



MRS.. MACKELLAR (H. T.)— The glorious blooms make this 

 an important Rose. A deep citron or de'icate pure canary co'or. 

 As the large blooms gracefully expand the guard petals charm" 

 ingly reflex and become pearly primrose-white of great decora- 

 tive beauty. Award of merit (unanimous). R. H. S., London. 

 25 cents each; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



MY MARYLAND— Clear, glowing pink; extra. 



NATIONAL EMBLEM (H. T.)— Dark crimson, of perfect shape 

 habit _and inflorescence; as a bedding, massing and cutting 

 Rose it is unique. Buds long and pointed, opening to large, 

 full, _ handsome flowers of great beauty, flowering freely and 

 continuously. 25 cents each; two-year plants, 50 cents 

 each. 



OPHELIA — Salmon-flesh chaded with rose, large, and of perfect 

 shape; of excellent habit; the flowers standing up well on long, 

 stiff stems and produced in great profusion. Excellent for 

 forcing and a fine decorative variety. Growth vigorous. Cer- 

 tainly a glorious Rose. Be sure to have "Ophelia" fixed in 

 your memory. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents 

 each.

each; two-year plants, 50 cents each. 

 PERLE DES JARDINS — Clear golden-yellow; very rich. 



PRESIDENT TAFT (McCullough, 1908)— This Rose was raised 

 in Cincinnati, the home of President Taft, and let us say right 

 here, while some of you might not admire the President himse'f, 

 you will, one and all, admire the Rose given his name. It is 

 without question the most remarkable of all pink Roses. It 

 has a shining, intense, deep pink color possessed by no other 

 Rose. It is a fine grower, free bloomer, good size and form, 



fragrant and in a class by itself as to color. Our Mr. Frank 

 Good, who is probably familiar with more Roses than any man 

 in America, saysl "Talk all you want to about the Rose Presi- 

 dent Taft. and then you will not say enough." 25 cents each; 

 two-year plants, 50 cents each. 



PRINCE ENGLEBERT CHARLES DE ARENBERG (H. T.)— 

 (Soupert & Notting, 1910). Without doubt the most promising 

 red forcing Rose in sight. The color is a clear and lively red 

 without tone of purple that kills all the other red forcers. The 

 color is most pleasing and under artificial light wonderfully 

 brilliant. Growers will make no mistake in planting this Rose 

 heavily. 



RADIANCE (Cook. 1909)— A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying 

 beautiful r»=h and opa.ine-pink tints in the open flower. The 

 form is fine, largest size and full, with cupped petals. It blooms 

 constantly and is de'ightfully fragrant. This is a superior Rose. 

 25 cents each; two-year plants, 50 cents each. 



RED LETTER • DAY— Glowing crimson-scarlet. 



RED RADIANCE (H. T.)— All who know that grand Rose 

 Radiance wiil welcome this red form of that great favorite. 

 Radiance is a Rose that does well everywhere; a fine grower 

 and free Noomer. and no prettier pink Rose grown. Red 

 Radiance is its exact counterpart except that the color is a rich 

 deep red. 25 cents each; two-year plants, 50 cents each.

 ing; splendid forcer. 25 cents each; two-year plants, 50 

 cents each.

 merit. A rich red that has come to stay. Might best be de- 

 scribed as a bright waterme'on-red. Very desirable. 35 cents 

 each; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



SAFRANO — The old standby for a winter bloomer; lovely saffron- 

 colored buds of the most de'icious fragrance. 25 cents each;

TIPPERARY (H. T.)— In color stands between Lady Hillingdon 

 and Melody, showing an attractive shade of soft golden-yellow in 

 the bud and ha'f developed flower. Its freedom of flowering and 

 its habit of growth will make it one of the most desirable Roses 

 of its color. 25 cents each; two-year plants, 50 cents each.

WHITE MALMAISON— Pure white, shaded lemon-yellow. 



WHITE MAMAN COCHET (No Finer Rose than This)— This 

 Rose attracted our attention from the very first time we ever 

 saw it in flower._ It is of the largest size, and as you will notice, 

 the flower is built up, or rounded and very double. The color 

 is a pure snow-white. Sometimes outdoors it is tinged pink, 

 which only adds to its great beauty. No Rose surpasses it in 

 vigorous growth and in the immense size of its buds and flowers — 

 indeed, nothing in the Tea family approaches it in size. De- 

 liciously fragrant. 25 cents each; two-year plants, 50 cents 

 each.
