The Wonderful New Rose Ophelia. 



NIPHETOS (Tea) — We wonder how many Rose growers 

 remember this old Rose. We have been five years trying 

 to get a stock of it; everyone would say, "Just 30ld out." 

 It has the longest bud of any Rose, barring none. The 

 color is snow-white, flushed with delicate pink. 35 

 cents. 



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

 pery-red and apricot shadings. A true old gold color 

 which is a unique color amongst Roses. A continuous 

 free bloomer. Very sweetly fragrant. Gold medal Na- 

 tional Rose Society. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



OPHELIA (H. T.) — When Ophelia was sent out on its 

 message of Rose beauty to entrance the world, there 

 was placed a tablet in the hall of Rose fame to Wm. 

 Paul & Son that will grow brighter as the flight of time 

 goes on. Its lustre will never tarnish or grow dim. A 

 more enduring memorial than anything else in the world 

 can give. Think what joy and happiness, yea, peace, 

 this Rose will produce as the ages go by, and how 

 modest Mr. Paul & Son were in their description, which 

 we give verbatim: "Salmon-flesh, snaded with rose; 

 large, and of perfect shape; of excellent habit, the flow- 

 ers standing up well on long, stiff stems and produced 

 in gTeat profusion. Excellent for forcing and a fine 

 decorative variety. Growth vigorous." Certainly a 

 glorious Rose. Be sure to have "Ophelia" fixed in you 

 memory. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



PRIMROSE (H. T.) — Melon-yellow during spring and 

 summer, deeper in autumn, with apricot shadings; a 

 most distinct coloring; large, double, of perfect form, 

 with long, pointed buds; deliciously fragrant. Magnifi- 

 cent bedding Rose. Unsurpassed. 20 cents; two-year 

 plants, 50 cents. 



PRINCE ENGELBERT CHARLES DE ARENBERG (H. 

 T. ) — Without doubt the most promising red forcing Rose 

 in sight; a grand Rose of vigorous growth and freedom 

 of bloom unapproached in any other variety; buds per- 

 fectly formed, developing into a perfect open flower 

 of ideal form; no deformed buds. The color is a clear 

 and lively red without tone of purple that kills all the 



other red forcers. The color is most pleasing and under 

 artificial light wonderfully brilliant. Growers will make 

 no mistake in planting this Rose heavily. 25 cents; 

 two-year plants, 60 cents. 



QUEEN MARY (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 car- 

 mine. This extra touch of color gives a gloriously warm 

 effect as the yellow and carmine do not commingle, the 

 petals are arranged in tip-tilted globular formation. It 

 is most floriferous, and fragrantly primrose-tea perfumed. 

 Awarded silver cup Festival of the Empire, Crystal Pal- 

 ace, London, and silver-gilt medal N. R. S. 25 cent^; 

 two-year plants, 60 cents. 



SEABIRD (H. T.) — A delightful garden Rose with vig- 

 orous free-branching growth, flowering freely and con- 

 tinuously on long, upright stems. Flowers of medium 

 to large size, of fine form and good substance. Color 

 clear primrose-yellow, paling with age to creamy-yel- 

 low. A splendid bedding Rose and altogether a grand 

 variety. 20 centgi; two-year plants, 50 cents, 



SUNBURST (H. T.) — This magnificent giant yellow Rose 

 is a fine forcer; it stands head and shoulders above all 

 others of its color and will rank with American Beauty 

 and the Killarneys in value and granaeur. It has long, 

 pointed buds, which oan be cut tight for market. The 

 color is orange-copper or golden-orange and golden- 

 yellow; edge of petals lighter; all intense shades, ex- 

 tremely brilliant in effect. Some call the color cad- 

 mium-yellow. It makes no difference what you call its 

 color, it is the yellowest of all Roses In the everbloom- 

 ing class. Belongs in the class of big Roses; has cre- 

 ated a sensation wherever showm. Tes, and something 

 more must be said about this Rose. It puts all the yel- 

 lows to sleep when it comes to bedding in the garden. 

 The golden-yellow color stays right with the flower 

 until it fully finishes. Better get acquainted with "Sun- 

 burst." 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.
