Miss Ella V. Baines, The "Woman Florist, Springfield, Ohio. 



NEW ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT— Continued. 



Maid of Honor.— This was named by the introducer Miss 

 Clara Barton, but had to be changed for the reason that another 

 Eose had been given that name. It is a sport from Bridesmaid, 

 and is several shades deeper than that variety. Its connection 

 with the Mermet family of Roses would indicate its worth. 15 

 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 4fl cents each. 



Clara Barton, Grand New Constant Blooming Rose. — 

 The introducer says that this Rose attracted so much attention 

 and proved of such remarkable beauty and value that he re- 

 quested permission of Miss Clara Barton, president of the 

 World's Red Cross Society, to give it her name in remembrance 

 of the noble work she has done in the cause of humanity all over 

 the world. This permission was kindly granted, coupled with the 

 suggestion that the Rose be called siiiply "Clara Barton." The 

 color is a rare and exquisite shadeof delicate amber pink, en- 

 tirely different from any other Rose with which we are acquaint- 

 ed. The flowers are medium size, double to the center, delight- 

 fully fragrant, and each one is set in with a lovely rosette of 

 leaves completely encircling the flower, and making a bouquet 

 ofitself. It is a constant bloomer. An exquisite Rose in every 

 way. If you want a good Rose, try this one. 15 cents each; 

 large two-year-old plants, 50 cents each. 



Sweet Little Queen.— Named in honor of Queen Wilhel- 

 mina, the young Queen of Holland, who ascended the throne 

 last October, at the tender age of sixteen years. Plants strong 

 and vigorous, with handsome sea green foliage. The buds are 

 long, and when open, full and double. The outer petals are 

 large, while those of the center are pointed like those of the 

 Chrysanthemum or Cactus Dahlia, which lends a peculiar as- 

 pect to the flower. Very sweet and flonferous. Color, Daffodil 

 yellow, center deeper, with blush and orange shadings. A 

 daintv variety. 15 cents each; large two - year - old 

 plants, 50 cents each.

The first Pure White Hardy Everblooming Climbing 

 Rose, Mrs. Robert Peary, or Climbing Kaiserin Augusta 



Victoria.— Thisis without doubt the grandest of all white climb- 

 ing Roses. It is the first and only pure white hardy everbloom- 

 ing climbing Rose, and as such meets a demand that has never 

 before been supplied. Small plants bloom continually the first 

 season, just as the parent, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, does. It is 

 as hardy as any Hybrid Perpetual or Moss Rose, and will with- 

 stand, unprotected, the most severe Winters. It is a strong, 

 rapid grower, without a weak spot, growing to perfection in the 

 open ground, and throwing up numerous shoots ten to fifteen 

 feet high in a single season. The flowers are something grand. 

 They are the equal of the finest and most beautiful cut-flower 

 Roses. Of splendid substance. They are extra large, full, deep 

 and double, and are produced on long stiff stems, like a forcing 

 or cut-flower Rose. The buds are long and pointed, exquisitely 

 modeled and gracefully finished. Both in bud and flower, it is 

 truly beautiful. It has a fragrance that is delicious, just like 

 Cherry blossoms. If you wanta quick growing absolutelv hardv, 

 climbing, sure-to-bloom Rose, one that will give you" flowers 

 this season, thisis the only white variety that will do. Be sure 

 to get this wonderful variety. Its magnificent flowers, freedom 

 of bloom and healthy growth will astonish you. This is the 

 greatest of all climbing Roses. I have fifty thousand plants of 

 this grand Rose, and I guarantee them to be genuine. 15 cents 

 each; large two-year-old plants, 50 cents each.

 old plants, 50 cents each.
