ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 



Columbia. 



We here offer what is good in the new Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses. To have what is good you must 

 try these Roses. They are the best that England, France, Ireland, 

 Italy, Holland and America can produce. 



Price, 25 Cents Each, Except Where Noted. Two-year Plants 

 60 Cents Except Where Noted. 



CHARLES K. DOUGLAS (H. T.) — Bud large, long- 

 pointed; flower large, full, double, sweet fra- 

 grance; color, intense flaming scarlet, flushed, 

 bright velvety crimson. Foliage, dark green; 

 disease resistant, vigorous, upright grower, pro- 

 duces an abundance of blooms from June to Octo- 

 ber. 50 cents each. No two-year to offer. 



COLUMBIA (H. T.) — This is a new American Rose, 

 grown by the veteran rosarian E. G. Hill. It is a 

 very vigorous grower of a true pink shade, deep- 

 ening as it opens to glowing pink. A peculiarity 

 of this variety is that the shades all become more 

 intense until the full maturity of the open flower 

 is reached, and this color is enduring. 



COLONEL, OSWALD FITZGERALD (H. T.) — A bril- 

 liant Rose. Its blood-red velvety crimson beauti- 

 fully finished blooms are produced in great pro- 

 fusion on erect stems; branching pure tea per- 

 fume. We have no hesitation whatsoever in de- 

 scribing this variety as excellent. Named in re- 

 membrance of Colonel Oswald Fitzgerald — a lover 

 of roses — who perished with his chief, Lord 

 Kitchener. 50 cents each. No two-year to offer. 



CORNELIA — Ophelia X. Mrs. Aaron Ward. A splen- 

 did cross between these two well known Roses. 

 Flowers are medium to large size and very dou- 

 ble. The bud is a beautiful salmon-pink. In the 

 half expanded and full flowers the outer petals 

 are light flesh, with the center a bright Mal- 

 maison pink; base of petals bright orange. A 

 strong, vigorous grower with good stem and 

 foliage. 



iRIMSON QUEEN (H. T.) — A very strong, upright 

 grower, flower large and full. Color a rich bright 

 velvety crimson. A grand garden Rose, as it is 

 always in bloom. 



CRUSADER — (New). A big, strong growing variety, 

 robust and rugged in every characteristic. The 

 growth is heavy and the flower stem strong and 

 heavy. It is free flowering and the blooms are 

 big and double and in color a rich velvety crim- 

 son. A free flowering red Rose that is a wonder. 

 40 cents. No two-year to offer. 



EDEL (H. T.) — Type, Florence Forrester; bud, very 

 large; flower, very large, double, well built, state- 

 ly, opens well in all weather; sweet fragrance. 

 Color, white, with the faintest ivory shading to- 

 ward base, passing to pure white. Foliage, bold 

 and distinct; very vigorous grower; free bloomer. 

 50 cents each. No two-year to offer. 



FLORENCE FORRESTER (H. T.) — Clear snow- 

 white with a lemon tinge; as the flowers age they 

 become a pure white ; the blooms are even larger 

 than Paul Neyron. Its habit is absolutely perfect, 

 and the freedom with which it flowers is marvel- 

 ous. We consider this Rose the grandest of all 

 whites for bedding. For size and substance has 

 no equal among Hybrid Teas. Is very sweetly 

 perfumed. Gold medal, National Rose Society. 



FRANCIS SCOTT KEY (H. T.) — It is very fitting 

 that such a fine new Rose should be honored with 

 the name of the author of the "Star Spangled 

 Banner," and also that it should hail from Balti- 

 more, one of whose forts was being assailed'when 

 the inspiration came to the author to write our 

 national anthem. The flowers are from large to 

 very large, with sixty or more petals opening to 

 a high center. The color is a magnificent deep 

 red rose. Wherever it has been staged this Rose 

 has swept all competitors from the boards and 

 secured every prize it has entered for. Grand for 

 the garden.
