 ANTOINE RIVOIRE (Mrs. Taft)— This is the 



famous Mrs. Taft Rose of the fashionable East 

 ern markets. This Rose is in a class by itself; 

 no Rose ever produced 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 delicate 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- 

 yellow Rose. 



HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet)— What 

 the introducers 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 suffused 

 with pink, each petal edged deeper, 

 very chaste and beautiful. The color, 

 with its immense 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 

 bjoomer; 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 douole; fine buds and flowers. 



MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden 

 Roses) — Such beauty and exquisite form as is 

 possessed by this variety is wellnigh marvelous 

 and cannot be seen in any other Rose we know 

 of. The buds are beautiful, large, full and firm 

 and elegantly 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. 



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 nimself 

 you will, one and all, admire the Rose given his name. It is 

 without question the most remarkable of all pink roses. It 

 has shining, intense, deep pink color possessed by no other Rose. 

 It is a fine grower, free oloomer, good size and form, fragrant 

 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 you 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 

 constantly 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 superior as a garden Rose. 



Pernetiana Roses 



ARTHUR R. GODWIN (Per.) (Pernet-Ducher, 1909)— The 

 color is coppery orange-red, passing to salmon-pink as the 

 flowers expand. A superb combination of color. 35 cents each ;

 ous. "Melanie Soupert" and "Paul Lede." A fine garden Rose. 

 50 cents each; two-year plants, 70 cents each. 



LOS ANGELES (A. B.) (Howard & Smith, 1917.)— Originators' 

 description: "Los Angeles is, by all odds, one of the finest Roses 

 ever introduced. The growth is very vigorous, and produces a 

 continuous succession of long-stemmed flowers of a luminous 

 flame-pink toned with coral and shaded with translucent gold 

 at the base of the petals. In richness of fragrance it equals in 

 intensity the finest Marechal Niel. The buds are long and 

 pointed and expand into a flower of mammoth proportions, 

 while the beauty of form and ever increasing wealth of color is 

 maintained from the incipient bud until the last petal drops." 

 40 cents each; two-year plants, 70 cents each.
