MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 



MADEMOISELLE BLANCHE MARTIGNAT (Tea)— Like 

 so many of the good continental Roses, we just hap- 

 pened to have the good luck to run onto this superior 

 Rose by chance. Why it has been neglected so long is 

 beyond our comprehension. The only solution to the 

 question, "lost in the shuffle," is probably the appro- 

 priate answer. Growth free, and the foliage is quite 

 distinct, both in shape and color. The shape is ex- 

 tremely long and pointed. It has a distinct light sil- 

 very ciolor. The flowers are beautiful peach-pink, with 

 tints of yellow and crimson, the same colors as seen in 

 the Aurora Borealis. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



MADAME BAVARY (H. T.) — Not a new Rose, but not 

 largely disseminated in this country. It is probable 

 that more of this yellow Rose is planted in England, 

 Ireland and the Continent that all other yellows com- 

 bined. In growth and habit it is much like Madame 

 Caroline Testout, and will always command a good 

 price, being difficult to propagate. Long, pointed buds 

 of beautiful golden-yellow, opening to large, full, or- 

 ange-yellow flowers. Very free flowering; superb. 25 

 cents*; two-year plants 60 cents. 



MADISON (Tea) — This is the "money-maker" among the 

 cut flower Roses, and is a greatly improved Bride, and 

 when we say improvement, we mean a genuine im- 

 provement. The best feature of Madison is that the 

 foliage does not mildew. All know how badly the 

 Bride mildews. Well, Madison is mildew-proof. Then. 

 after being planted and well established, Madison will 

 cut as many flowers as Killarney, cutting steady each 

 month in the year. Madison is a grand addition to our 

 list of forcing Roses. Remember, that "Madison" is the 

 money maker. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



MARQUIS DE SINETY (H. T.) — Not a new Rose, but will 

 always be scarce as it is difficult to propagate but easy 

 to grow after it is rooted. Deep golden-yellow, shaded 

 bronzy-red; large, full and very fine. 50 cents. 



MEVROUW DORA VAN TETS (H. T.)— A chaste Rose of 

 great beauty. Perfect habit of growth, every shoot 

 producing a bloom; a veritable pearl for garden decora- 

 tion. The color is a deep glowing crimson; a flower you 

 want to linger with, and which you visit again and 

 again. This is another most valuable garden Rose sent 

 out by that painstaking Dutchman, M. Leenders, of 

 Steil-Tegelan, who has already enriched for all time 

 our gardens with the grand varieties "Jonkheer J. L. 

 Mock," Gartendirector Hartrath," and "General Su- 

 perior Arnold Janssen." Tour friends will make no 

 mistake in planting this Rose. 20 cents; two-year 

 plants, 50 cents. 



MI-LADY (H. T. ) — -A rich crimson Rose. Flower of large 

 size and very double; splendid form and very fragrant. 

 Extra fine. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



MILDRED GRANT (H. T.) — Ivory-white, with an occa- 

 sional flush of pale peach. High pointed center, with 

 unusually large and massive petals, opening to perfectly 

 formed flowers of enormous size and substance. Awarded 

 the gold medal of N. R. S. 

 We are the only firm in the 

 United States offering this 

 Rose on its own roots in 

 young plants. It is a grand 

 Rose. 50 cents. 



MRS. ANDREW CARNEGIE 

 (H. T.) — Sent out by James 

 Cocker & Sons, of Aberdeen, 

 Scotland. This Rose is an 

 epoch-making flower, as an 

 old Kentish grower put it, 

 "a nailer." At the stand 

 where Mrs. Andrew Car- 

 negie was shown there was 

 a big crowd around it all 

 the time the show was open. 

 Queen Alexandria admired it 

 as she passed through the 

 show in the morning before 

 the great rush of the after- 

 noon. One enthusiast de- 

 scribes is as having "lit up 

 the whole show." With its 

 handsome shape and delic- 

 ious fragrance it combines 

 a color that entrances. Pale 

 lemon-yellow at base of the 

 petals. shading to pure 

 white. Won the gold medal 

 N. R. S. 25 cents; two-year 

 plants, 60 cents. 



MRS. CAMPBELL HALL (H. 

 T. ) — Delfcate creamy-buff. 

 edged and suffused with car- 

 mine-rose. The center of the 

 bloom is warm cerise coral- 

 fawn. 50 cents. 



Mrs. Campbell Hall. 



MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL ( H. T.)— This wonderful new 

 Rose has taken the country by storm, no other forcing 

 Rose except American Bealuty can compete with it in 

 points. Color, a grand rosy-red or deep pink, of the 

 largest size. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



MRS. FORDE (H. T.) — A magnificent and exquisite Rose, 

 whose large blooms, on erect flower stalks, are of per- 

 fect form and finish, with daintiest colorings, which are 

 certainly unique among Roses, being stained or flushed 

 purest deep carmine-rose and delicate rose-pink, with a 

 zone of clear chrome-yellow at the base of each petal; 

 refreshingly fragrant, being delightfully and distinctly 

 tangerine-rose perfume. Awarded gold medal by N. R. 

 S. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



MRS. FRANK BRAY (H. T.) — This is claimed to be a 

 great advance on the lovely and justly esteemed "Mme. 

 Ravary," which until now has been the best of its color 

 amongst the decorative or garden varieties. "Mrs. 

 Frank Bray" during its several years' trial preceding 

 its introduction, has proven immensely superior to its 

 prototype, not only in vigorous growth but also in color, 

 which is a deep, rich, coppery-ecru, developing as the 

 flower opens to a very delicate coppery-fawn, with shad- 

 ing of ivory shell-pink. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cts. 



MRS. F. F. THOMPSON ( H. T. ) — The color is a lovely 

 shade of shell-pink with a deep, glowing heart of 

 bright pink which lights up the flower wonderfully. A 

 persistent bloomer and therefore an invaluable garden 

 Rose. 35 cents. 



MRS. FREDERICK W. VANDEKBILT (H. T.) — Deep or- 

 ange-red shaded with bronzy apricot-red; growth vig- 

 orous and very free flowering; blooms large, of good 

 habit and substance; a most wonderful Rose. Gold 

 medal N. R. S. 35 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER (Tea) — This Rose promises 

 good things in its color and class. The color is a lovely 

 bright shade of pink. A valuable Rose which has 

 proven fine for forcing. It has all the ear-marks of a 

 fine bedder. From the raisers of Lady Hillingdon. 25 

 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



MRS. GORDON SLOANE (H. T.) — Pearly flesh-white 

 which as the flower develops becomes a delicate cop- 

 pery shrimp-pink in the center with creamy outer 

 petals; reverse of petals electric copper on pure deep 

 salmon-pink. The blooms are produced in marvelous 

 profusion; has a delicious frhiit perfume. A truly 

 charming Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



MRS. MOOREFIELD STORY (H. T.)— This Rose is in- 

 troduced to the Rose growers of the world by the fa- 

 mous Waban Rose Conservatories of Massachusetts. 

 The color is shell-pink, deepening towards the center 

 and tipped rose. Very handsome. 35 cents. 



MRS. MUIR MACKEAN (H. T.) — This is a Rose of very 

 special merit. In all the range of colors among Hy- 

 brid Teas it stands unique and quite distinct; bright 

 carmine-crimson, without shading. A grand, bold, well- 

 built flower, perfect in shape and form; of the most mod- 

 ern type. Extra perpetual 

 flowering. Everything about 

 this Rose is pleasing and at- 

 tractive; fragrant. 20 cents; 

 two-year plants, 40 cents. 



MRS. SAM ROSS (H. T.I— 

 Very large full flowers. Pet- 

 als are large, smooth, shell- 

 shaped and slightly cupped, 

 beautifully reflexed at edges. 

 A flower of largest size and 

 great refinement. A novel and 

 unoiommon shade of color, 

 at once distinct and pleas- 

 |n ing. but difficult to describe. 

 It may be said to shade 

 from pale straw color to 

 light chamois-yellow, with a 

 distinct flush of buff on the 

 reverse of the petals. Very 

 sweetly scented. Awarded 

 the gold medal of the Na- 

 tional Rose Society, Regent's 

 Park. London, July 7, 1911. 

 25 cents; two-year plants, 

 50 cents. 



NERTSSA (H. T.) — This Rose 

 was given an award of merit 

 from the Royal Horticultur- 

 al Society of England. Why 

 they did not give it a gold 

 medal is beyond our ken. An 

 enormously large, full flower, 

 of fine shape, making a mag- 

 nificent effect in the garden. 

 Growth vigorous. This is a 

 great Rose. 20 cents; two- 

 year plants, 50 cents.
