"I have a bouquet of Roses 

 which were picked from that 

 'Imperial' Collection of Rose 

 plants mamma bought from Miss 

 Ella T. Baines, The Woman 

 Florist, last Fall. They grew 

 and bloomed beautifully. We 

 had Roses all the Summer." 



MISS ELLA V. BAINES' 



"IMPERIAL" COLLECTION OF 

 EVER-BLOOMING ROSES. 

 No such bargain has ever been offered by 

 any firm. Just to think! I mail you for the 

 small sum of fifty cents twelve of the choi- 

 cest Winter-blooming Roses. You can see 

 just what varieties you are getting. The 

 Roses in this "IMPERIAL" Collection will 

 all bloom this Winter in the house or Mext 

 Summer in the yard. Every one is a beauty. 

 I guarantee these Roses to be as good plants 

 as any firm in this country sells for ten or 

 twenty cents each. It will cost you such a 

 small sum to prove this, that none should 

 fail to avail themselves of such a liberal of- 

 fer. Price, large two-year-old plants of any 

 of these Roses, 25 cents each; five for $1.00. 

 Any twelve for $2.00. 



THESE VARIETIES ABE THE VERY BEST FOR WINTER- 

 BLOOMING OR FOR FALL PLANTING IN THE YARD. 



Marie Tan Houtte. — This is one of the prettiest and sweetest of 

 all Roses. Of a faultless straw-yellow color, outer petals 

 washed with bright rosy -crimson. 



Madame Abel de Chatenay. — This Rose is of the Testout family, 

 which it resembles very much in habit of growth and flow- 

 ers, which are of a deep rose color. Large and handsome, 

 and very fragrant. Fast becoming popular. 



Marion Dingee. — Deep, brilliant crimson. One of the darkest, if 

 not the very darkest, richest-colored Tea Rose in existence.

 some buds and flowers of the richest hue. Deep rose^flushed 

 with brightest red, reverse of petals pink. Its worth is being 

 fast demonstrated.

 very best yellow Tea Rose. The buds and flowers are very 

 double, and it makes a handsome bush.

 color is velvety-crimson. Entirely hardy. 



White La France. — Identical with La France, except in the color 

 of its flowers, which are pure white, sometimes shaded with 

 delicate fawn.

 pink variety that is hardy. Deliciously fragrant. 



The Queen.— This is the hardiest of all ihe white Roses belong- 

 ing to the Tea varieties of Roses. It is a beauty.

 icately tinged with apricot-yellow towards the center. Very 

 desirable.
