NEW POLY ANT HA, OR BABY ROSES- Concluded 



ORLEANS — The showiest and prettiest of all the Baby Ramblers. 

 This charming and dainty Rose is of beautiful rounded habit and 

 is a huge bouquet of deep cerise or Geranium-pink, with distinct 

 showy center of pure white; florets not crowded, but of beautiful 

 arrangement, making as a whole a charming combination that 

 cannot be beaten. Color is irresistible. Plant grows like a 

 weed, and the flowers are nearly "immortelle" in their lasting 

 qualities. Awarded gold medal. 



RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA— The defects of 

 Crimson Rambler are its unsightly foliage in unseasonaDle 

 weather and its defoliation by insects; the infusion of Wichu- 

 raiana blood assures an ornamental climber which is- nearly 

 evergreen, and this will assure this lovely crimson-scarlet pillar 

 Rose a place in every American garden, for it is quite hardy in 

 addition to all its other fine points. The flowers are very 

 double, produced in large trusses of thirty to forty, and almost 

 every eye on a shoot produces large clusters of flowers. _ The 

 color is intense crimson-maroon, the tips of the petals tinged 

 with scarlet. The finest of all red Climbing Roses. 



RED ORLEANS ROSE — Color is brilliant geranium-red, suffused 

 with rose, and center white. The flowers come in great trusses 

 and make a fine showing all summer. This Rose when massed 

 in solid beds or along borders is very fine. Awarded a gold 

 medal. 40 cents each. No two-year to offer. 



ROSARIE, or PINK THOUSAND BEAUTIES— Tnis is a bright 

 pink form of that famous Rose. "Thousand Beauties." A 

 grand Rose from any standpoint. 



SHOWER OF GOLD — This variety produces masses of flowers 

 in large clusters. The color is a deep golden-yellow, with 

 orange shadings in the center. Enormous lateral branches 

 are produced, which are densely clad with glossy green foliage 



that resists disease. This fills the "long-felt want" for a hardy 

 yellow Climbing Rose. 



SILVER MOON — Flowers very large, four and one-half inches 

 and over in diameter. Pure white in color; petals of gre?.t 

 substance, beautifully cupped, forming a clematis-like flower. 

 The large bunch of yellow stamens in tfle center adds to its 

 attractiveness. These flowers are borne on strong stems twelve 

 to eighteen inches long, and are delicately scented. The plant 

 is a strong grower, with large, glossy, bronze-green foliage. 



TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAUTIES— A Climb- 

 ing Rose that comes to us from Germany. The flowers upon first 

 opening are the most delicate shade of pink ever seen in a Rose ; 

 might be described as a white delicate flushed pink, changing 

 to rosy-carmine. It gets its name from its many flowers and 

 the variation in coloring. This Rose is sweeping the country 

 like a prairie fire. 



TIP TOP ("Ba,by Doll")— This delightful little "Sweetheart" 

 Rose is a wonder. The color is absolutely new, and quite start- 

 ling in its brilliancy, golden-yellow tipped with clear, bright 

 cense. 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 

 delicious color. 



VEILCHENBLAU (The Wonderful New Blue Rose)— This is 

 a Rambler, and will thrive anywhere, being perfectly hardy. 

 It has created a great stir in the Rose World, for the talk of a 

 Blue Rose has been going on since time immemorial. It first 

 opens a pink color, quickly changing to a decided violet blue. 

 When the plant is in full bloom it presents a startling effect. 



Dwarf Polyantha, or Baby Roses 



A class of minature Roses derived from the Climbing Polyantha. They are of dwarf habit and bloom so freely as to cover the entire 

 plant with bloota all through summer and fall. The plants are splendid for bedding, or as edgings for borders they are hardy.Let us 

 tell you something about these miniature Roses. While Europe has appreciated these Roses for years, America is just beginning to wake 

 up to the fact that they have come to stay. They are useful either pot grown or for bedding purposes or for hedge effect. 20 cents 

 each; six for $1.00; two-year-plants, 50 cents each; three for $1.25. 



ANNA MULLER— The pink Baby Rambler; always in bloom. 



BABY RAMBLER — Completely hides itself all summer; bright 

 red. 



CATHERINE ZEIMET— The White Baby Rambler; extra. 



CLOTHILDE SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting, 1890)— (H. Poly.) 

 Known the world over as one of the very best of all bedding 

 Roses. The only rival of "Hermosa" as a bedder and market 

 pot plant. The color effect is beautiful ivory-white, shauing 

 toward the center to bright silvery-pink. Everybody's Rose. 



ELLEN POULSON— Dark brilliant pink; fragrant; fine. 



ERNA TESCHENDORFF — Deep crimson flushed with carmine; 

 very dark. 



JESSIE — Bright cherry-crimson. Superb. 

 LE PONCEAU — Dark red in large clusters. 

 MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER— This is the popular 

 Baby Pink Rose. It is also known as Sweetheart and Mignon. 



In the past year or two this Rose has fairly jumped into popu- 

 larity. It always was a popular outdoor Rose on the Pacific 

 Coast, but recently even in the effete East and everywhere in 

 America they are planting it simply by thousands for cut flowers. 

 It has become quite the rage. It makes a handsome miniature 

 Rose, coming in sprays of three to five buds and combines in 

 beautiful effect with so many otner flowers in ad kinds of floral 

 work. It is very prolific bloomer and if carefully protected in the 

 winter should be a money-maker, both outdoors and under 

 glass. The bud and flower are both handsome. Color, blush, 

 shaded light salmon-pink; distinct and desirable. 



MRS. WM. H. 



Dorothy Perkins. 



CUTBUSH— Flowers the delicate pink of 



PERLE d'OR — Coppery-orange, changing to fawn. 



PHYLLIS — Pretty, bright carmine-pink, very bushy and of 

 branching habit, producing long, feathery panicles of flowers 

 from June until frost. A novel Rose, ideal for bedding, massing 

 and decorative use in pots.
