telle" in their lasting qualities. Awarded gold

 TIP TOP, "Baby Doll" — This delightful little "Sweet-

 new, and quite startling in its brilliancy, golden- 

 yellow tipped with clear, bright cerise. The foli- 

 age is narrow, long and sharply pointed, a deep 

 glossy green — a very beautiful setting for the 

 lovely little doll roses, a bench of "Baby Doll" be-

 'Collection. Try them. Price, 25 cents each; the entire twelve for $2.50. Two-year-old plants, 50 cents

ANTOINE RIVOIRE — This is the famous Mrs. Taft 

 Rose of the fashionable Eastern markets. This 

 Rose is in a class by itself; no Rose ever pro- 

 duced has such substance of petal; color creamy- 

 white with rainbow tints; a beauty and a wonder. 



BESSIE BROWN — A Rose of transcendent beauty; 

 of the largest size; color pearly-white with a deli- 

 cate tinge of fawn. 



ETOILE DE FRANCE — For the best red garden 

 Rose it lies between this one, Rhea Reid and 

 Helen Gould. Some say one and some say the 

 other. 



ETOILE DE LYON — Still the best large golden-yel- 

 low Rose. 



HELEN GOULD — A rich red Rose that is a great 

 bloomer; the shade of red has been described best 

 as a watermelon-red; elegant. 



HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet) — What the in- 

 troducers say: "This is a true Cochet Rose, and 

 after two years' trial in the garden we pronounce 

 it as good if not better than any Rose for the 

 garden ever sent out. We bought "the entire stock 

 of this Rose, paying $1,000 for two plants, this 

 toeing by far the highest recorded price ever paid 

 for any Rose. The color is a delicate yellow suf- 

 fused with pink, each petal edged deeper, very 

 chaste and beautiful. The color, with its immense 

 size and exquisite form, makes it without ques- 

 tion the greatest Tea Rose ever introduced, and 

 we are proud to have brought it out." 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA — A grand white 

 garden Rose that has stood the test of time. Full 

 and double; fine buds and flowers. 



MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden Roses) 

 —Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed 

 toy this variety is well-nigh marvelous, and can- 

 not be seen in any other Rose we know of. The 

 "buds are beautiful large, full and firm and ele- 

 gantly 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 double and of 



splendid substance. Small pot 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 fra- 

 grance and delicate 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. 



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 

 may not admire the President himself, 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, fra- 

 grant 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, says: "Talk all 

 you want to about the Rose President Taft, and 

 then vou will not say enough." 



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

 displaying beautiful rich and opaline-pink tints 

 in the open flower. The form is fine, largest size 

 and full, with cupped petals. It blooms con- 

 stantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is a 

 superior Rose. 



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. Deliciously fragrant. 



WM. R. SMITH — .This Rose has several names, such 

 as Charles Dingee, Jeanette Heller, Maiden's 

 Blush, etc. Color delicate blush. It has no su- 

 perior as a garden Rose.
