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



THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES-Concluded 



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

 perfect shape, habit and inflorescence; as a bed- 

 ding, massing and cutting Rose it is unique. Buds 

 .long and pointed, opening to large, full, handsome 

 flowers of great beauty, flowering freely and 

 continuously. 



OPHELIA- — Salmon-flesh shaded 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 forc- 

 ing and a fine decorative variety. Growth vigor- 

 ous. Certainly a glorious Rose. Be sure to have 

 "Ophelia" fixed in your memory. 



PILGRIM — (New.) In color, a beautiful shade of. 

 bright rose-pink. The bud, which opens per- 

 fectly, is long and of ideal form. Pilgrim is a 

 Rose of good substance and petalage, and at any 

 stage of development is perfect in color and form 

 of flower. Its pronounced tea fragrance will 

 attract all Rose lovers. It is prolific and highly 

 productive of first quality blooms. The stems are 

 straight and strong. It is the pink Rose to grow. 

 40 cents. No two-year to oil'er. 



PREMIER — This is the long-looked for deep Rose 

 for the garden; a, beauty, and one you will be 

 pleased with. It is a very free bloomer, almost 

 smothering the plant. The color is bright and 

 attractive. The growth is all that is to be de- 



sired, and altogether a wonderful Rose. 40 cents. 

 No two-year to offer. 



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. 



RICHMOND — -Pure rich scarlet; very free and con- 

 tinuous flowering; splendid forcer. 



ROSE MARIE (H. T.) — This is a grand Rose of the 

 very highest merit. A rich red that has come- to 

 stay. Might best be described as a bright water- 

 melon-red. Very desirable. 



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

 Hillingdon and Melody, showing an attractive 

 shade of soft golden-yellow in the bud and half 

 developed flower. Its freedom of flowering and its 

 habit of growth will make it one of the most de- 

 sirable Roses of its color. 



W. C. GAUNT (H. T.) — Of medium size, with pointed 

 buds, with naturally reflexed guard petals of bril- 

 liant velvet vermilion, tipped scarlet. Stems rigid, 

 habit branching, large oval beech-green foliage. 

 Rich tea fragrance; very rich in color. 



IxceSsior" List of Ever-Blooming Roses 



New and Choice for Outdoor Planting or House Culture 



Price, 20 cents each; any three of yonr own selection for 50 cents. Two-year plants, 40 cents each; three 



for $1.00. 



For general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One-year-old plants, 

 such as we send by mail, bloom the first and each succeeding year from early spring until severe frosts. 

 Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a greater profusion of flowers, owing to their size. The flowers are 

 noted for their exquisite coloring and delightful fragrance; hardy everywhere in open ground with pro- 

 tection of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs or similar materials. Plant liberally of one-year-old Roses; 

 the harvest of bloom they give the first year compensates for the" trifling outlay. Anyone can succeed 

 with them.
