The Taft Set of Six Ever-Blooming Roses 



COSTING $1.50 FOR $1.25. THE SET OF SIX IN 2- YEARS FOR $2.75. 



MADAME BUTTERFLY — (New.) Is Hill's glorified 

 sport of Ophelia. Seen and admired by thou- 

 sands. All the color tones of Ophelia are inten- 

 sified, making it a harmony of bright pink, 

 apricot and gold. Ophelia ranks at the top in 

 popularity and Madame Butterfly will surpass 

 it. It averages more petals to the bloom; it 

 produces more bloom to the plant because it 

 makes more branches, every one carrying a bud. 

 The tight buds are a lovely shade of Indian 

 oak, yellow at the base; they are unique for 

 corsages and for low table decorations; the 

 opening flowers are perfect in form and texture, 

 clear and brilliant in color and of delicious 

 fragrance. 40 cents each. 



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

 grand Rose Radiance will welcome this red 

 form of that great favorite. Radiance is a 

 Rose that does well everywhere, a fine grower 

 and free bloomer, and no prettier pink Rose 

 grown. Red Radiance is its exact counterpart 

 except that the color is a rich deep red. 25c each. 



WHITE MAM AN 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. Deliciously fragrant. 25 cents each. 



RADIANCE — A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying 

 beautiful rich and opaline-pink tints in the open 

 flower. 20 cents each. 



PRESIDENT TAFT — It is without question the most 

 remarkable of all pink Roses. It has a shining, 

 intense, deep pink color possessed by no other 

 Rose. 20 cents each. 



ALEXANDER HILL GRAY — Its color is a solid deep 

 yellow throughout. 20 cents each.
