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



New Polyantha, or Baby Rambler Roses 



BABY FARBENKOMGIN — This is a new baby Rose 

 bearing flowers that in color are same as Far- 

 benkonigin or Queen of Colors. Clear pink. 

 15 cents. 



BABY TAUSENDSCHOElf — Its flowers are large, so 

 much like Tausendschoen that it has been re- 

 christened "Baby Tausendschoen." It is a bush 

 form of the "Climbing Tausendschoen," or "Thou- 

 sand Beauties," having all the charm in the vari- 

 able coloring in its flowers that its parent has, 

 being firm white, delicately flushed pink, chang- 

 ing to deep rosy-carmine. This is a splendid 

 Rose. Try it. 15 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. 



DEWDROP — Cherry-red; lasts a long time, grows 

 easy. A very double Rose. 15 cents. 



EUGENIE LAMESCH — Orange-yellow, ^passing to 

 clear yellow, shaded rose; produced in large clus- 

 ters. Fine. 15 cents. 



GEORGE ELGER — A lovely little golden-yellow 

 Polyantha Rose, with a good admixture of Tea 

 blood; like all of its class, it is free in growth, 

 free in bloom, with small, glossy foliage produced 

 in profusion. The dainty little pointed yellow 

 buds open into pretty little symmetrical Roses. 

 Will prove a very popular corsage variety; is 

 grown in quantity now for this purpose. 15 

 eents; two-year plants, 40 cents. 



MAMAS TIRBAT — Branching growth, large, full 

 flowers, produced in large panicles of twenty to 

 thirty flowers. Color clear peach-pink, one of 

 the best in this section. 15 cents. 



ORLEANS — The showiest and prettiest of all the 

 Baby Ramblers. This charming and dainty Rose 

 is of beautiful rounded habit and is a huge bou- 

 quet of deep cerise or Geranium-pink, with dis- 

 tinct showy center of pure white; florets not 

 crowded, but of beautiful arrangement, making 

 as a "whole a charming combination that cannot 

 be beaten. The color is irresistible. The plant 

 grows like a weed and the flowers are nearly 

 "immortelle" in their lasting qualities. We be- 

 lieve that they will outlast almost any other Rose 

 in existence with their stiff paper-like texture. 

 This pretty Rose has taken Europe by storm and 

 is making a sensation in this country. Awarded 

 gold medal. 15 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. 



TIP TOP ("Baby Doll") — This delightful little 

 "Sweetheart" Rose is a wonder. The color is 

 absolutely new, and quite startling in its bril- 

 liancy, golden-yellow tipped with clear, bright 

 cerise. The foliage 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" being an even parterre of de- 

 licious color. 25 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 pearl-white with a deli- 

 cate tinge of fawn. 



ETOILE DE FRANCE — For the best red garden 

 Rose it lies between this one, Rhead Reid and 

 Helen Gould. Some say one and some say the 

 other. 



ETOILE DE LYON — Still the best large golden- 

 yellow Rose. 



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 

 being 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 im- 

 mense size and exquisite form, makes it without 

 question the greatest Tea Rose ever introduced, 

 and we are proud to have brought it out." 



HELEN GOULD — A rich red Rose that is a great 

 bloomer; the shade of red has been described best 

 as a watermelon-red; elegant. 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA — A grand white 

 garden Rose that has stood the test of time. Full 

 and double; fine buds and flowers. 



LA FRANCE — This is claimed by many to be the 

 queen of all the Roses; bright silvery-pink. 



MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden Roses) 



— Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed 

 by 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 fragrance 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. 



SOUVENIR DE PRES. CARNOT — A grand Rose of 

 the largest size; the color a delicate fawn or sal- 

 mon; extra fine. 



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 sno#v-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.
