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

 THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES— Concluded. 



NERISSA (H. T.) — This Rose was given an award 

 of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of 

 England. Why they did not give it a gold medal 

 is beyond our ken. An enormously large, full 

 flower, of fine shape, making a magnificent effect 

 in the garden. Growth vigorous. This is a great 

 Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



OLD GOLD (H. T.) — Vivid reddish-orange with rich 

 coppery-red and apricot shadings. A true old 

 gold color which is a unique color amongst Roses. 

 A continuous free bloomer. Very sweetly fra- 

 grant. Gold medal, National Rose Society. 25 

 cents; two- year plants, 50 cents. 



OPHELIA (H. T.) — This without question is the 

 greatest all-round garden Rose of this century; a 

 lovely salmon-flesh color overlaid with a blush 

 tint. Don't by any means neglect to order this 

 charming Rose. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 

 cents. 



PINK OPHELIA (H. T.) — Here we have the long- 

 sought-for ideal pink forcing Rose. It is identi- 

 cal with Ophelia except that it is a beautiful, 

 bright, clear pink. Everybody will want it. 35 

 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



QUEEN 3IARY (H. T.) — A uniquely beautiful Rose 

 which enthuses the hearts of all who see it and 

 ever holds them in its lovely sway. Its pure, rich 

 colorings, which are zoned deep, bright canary- 

 yellow, on plenteous well-shaped petals which 

 are crayoned with pure deep carmine. This ex- 

 tra touch of color gives a gloriously warm effect 

 as the yellow and carmine do not commingle; the 

 petals are arranged in tip-tilted globular forma- 

 tion. It is most floriferous, and fragrantly prim- 

 rose-tea perfumed. Awarded silver cup Festival 

 of the Empire, Crystal Palace, London, and silver 

 gilt medal, N. R. S. 25 cents; two-year plants, 

 50 cents. 



RED LETTER DAY (H. T.) — An exceedingly beau- 

 tiful Rose of infinite grace and charm. Its vel- 

 vety, brilliant, glowing scarlet-crimson buds and 

 fully opened cactus-like flowers never fade, as 

 the reflex of the petals is satinv crimson-scarlet. 

 Awarded S. G. medal, N. R. S. This is by far the 

 best growing and freest blooming of all the 

 Hybrid Tea Roses. Be sure and try it. 25 cents; 

 two-year plants, 50 cents. 



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. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 ets. 



ROSITA 3IAURI (H. T.) — Pure deep rose-pink, large, 

 full, sweetly scented. Elongated bud. Extra. 25 

 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



SALLIE (H. T.) — The flowers are large and full, 

 outer petals creamy-flesh, gradually deepening 

 towards the center of the bloom, with splashes 

 of rich yolk or egg color. Awarded first prize at 

 the International Show, Chelsea, 25 cents; two- 

 year plants, 50 cents. 



SOUVENIR OF HENRY GRAHAM (H. T.) — A de- 

 lightful imposing house Rose, faintly or charm- 

 ingly blushed carmine on pearly-cream or deli- 

 cate buff -white; deliciously and strongly tea 

 scented. A very profuse bloomer. Its lovely 

 colorings and size lend it much merit. 35 cents; 

 two- year plants, 60 cents. 



TOTALE GELOS (H. T.) — A very vigorous grower 

 of erect branching habit. Long bud borne on 

 stout stem; large, full, globular flower, flesh- 

 white color shaded with chrome-yellow in the 

 center at the autumn blooming. 25 cents; two- 

 year plants, 50 cents. 



WALTHAM SCARLET (H. T.) — Crimson-scarlet, 

 single, very large for a single Rose, and produced 

 with great freedom. Forms handsome bushes. 

 35 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



WARRIOR (H. T.) — Buds blood red; when fully 

 expanded, vivid scarlet. 25 cents; two-year plants, 

 50 cents. 



WHITE SHAWYER (H. T.) — This is a sport from 

 that grand forcing Rose, Mrs.- George Shawyer, 

 and like its parent is a glorious forcer. Indeed, 



. some growers claim that it will supersede all the 

 white forcing Roses. Snow-white, of the largest 

 size, and a good keeper. It is a good garden Rose, 

 being a strong, vigorous grower and free bloomer. 

 Don't forget White Shawyer when making up 

 your planting list. 35 cents; two-year plants, 

 50 cents.

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 protection 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.
