MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 3 



The Cream of the New Roses 



We here offer what is good in the new Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses. To have what is good you must try these Roses. 



They are the best that England, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Holland and America oan produce. 



ADMIRAL WARD (H. T.) — Vigorous, branching, 

 erect growth. Large, glossy, bronzed foliage. 

 Very large, full, globular flowers, freely and con- 

 tinuously produced. Color deep velvety crimson- 

 red, shaded fiery-red. A grand garden Rose. 50 

 cents. 



BRITISH QUEEN (H. T.) — We quote the introdu- 

 cer's description: "Experts who have seen Brit- 

 ish Queen growing, agree that it is the finest 

 white Rose in existence, surpassing in beauty and 

 elegance of form all other white varieties. The 

 freedom with which it blooms is remarkable. It 

 is in flower from June until winter, and on well 

 cultivated plants the blooms are a model of per- 

 fection. The type of flower is between White 

 Maman Cochet and Frau Karl Druschki, with Tea 

 Rose form and refinement; frequently in the bud 

 state it shows a slight flush; this disappears as 

 the flower opens into purest whiteness. It is a 

 good grower and sweetly scented. Awarded a 

 gold medal by the National Rose Society of Eng- 

 land. Those who have had the pleasure to see 

 this magnificent Rose blooming at Portsdown will 

 never forget the sight. 20 cents each; 2-year 

 plants, 50 cents. 



CHERRY PAGE (H. T.) — Brilliant carmine-pink, 

 suffused with golden-yellow at base of petals. 

 Flowers very large, with very shapely buds. Very 

 lioriferous. A grand garden Rose. 50 cents. 



CHRISSIE MACKEXXAR (H. T.) — A gorgeously 

 beautiful Rose, combining in charming combina- 

 tion the following tones, tints and colors: Crimson- 

 carmine, deep rich ochrey-madder, becoming a 

 delicate but bright orangey-pink as the flower 

 develops. It is one of the most delightfully color- 

 toned Roses we have had the pelasure of seeing. 

 It is strongly and deliciously pure primrose-tea 

 scented. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. 



COLLEEN (H. T.) — Brilliant rose, shaded rose-pink 

 with deeper rose-crimson veneering and distinct 

 creamy-yellow ground, never fading, until the 

 petals drop. The flower is quite full, with enor- 

 mous petals and high pointed center, forming the 

 noblest and most remarkable flower among Roses. 

 Very free-blooming and smooth. Gold medal Rose 

 of the National Rose Society of England, 1913. 

 35 cents. 



DORA (H. T.) — Large, full flowers of a beautiful peach 

 blossom color, with deeper center, changing to silvery- 

 blush as the flowers expand. Very free-flowering. A 

 glorious Rose. Try it. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. 



DUCHESS OF NORMANDY (H. T.) — Soft salmon-flesh 

 overlaid with yellow. A grand Rose viewed from any 

 standpoint. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. 



EARL OF GOSFORD (H. T.) — Color dark crimson, heav- 

 ily shaded after the style of Jubilee. A fine, strong 

 grower; a Rose that will do particularly well in adverse 

 climates; very fragrant, and destined to become a very 

 popular Rose. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. 



EDGAR M. BURNETT (H. T.)— Very large, full flowers 

 of fine shape and form, with large flesh petals tinted 

 rose. Said to be a great improvement on La France, 

 and may be regarded as an advance on the type of 

 Lady Alice Stanley; undoubtedly the sweetest scented 

 Rose in existence. As a garden Rose unequaled. 50 

 cents. 



EDWARD MAWLEY (H. T.) — By its marvelous out- 

 standing qualities is now regarded by rosarians as the 

 greatest advance and most wonderful Rose yet raised. 

 We have no hesitancy in saying that it Is the finest of 

 all dark crimson Roses. A true perpetual-flowering 

 Hybrid Tea and the most beautiful variety the Rose 

 world has yet seen. This Rose was raised by McGredy, 

 of Ireland, and named in honor of Edward Mawley, the 

 eminent British rosarian. It received the much coveted 

 gold medal of the National Rose Society of England. 

 20 cents; 2-year plants, 40 cents. 



EUGENE BOULLET (H. T.) — We were greatly pleased 

 with the promise of this Rose last year, and are now 

 fully decided as to its value as a red bedder. It Is 

 easily suited as to soil and position, and produces flow- 

 ers in great abundance. The blooms are large and full, 

 of substantial form and texture. We fully expect this 

 variety to rank at the very top of red garden Roses for 

 massing. Color deep crimson and carmine. A sheet 

 of gorgeous color. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cento. 



British Queen. 



FARBENKONIGIN (Queen of Colors) (H. T.) — This is 

 well named the Queen of Colors; our own personal 

 opinion is that there is no finer Rose grown than this 

 beautiful sort. It is large and full; color bright car- 

 mine and rosy crimson, overlaid with a satiny-silver 

 sheen. Very floriferous. Simply grand. Here is an- 

 other Rose that will bear an acquaintance. All Europe 

 knows this Rose, while but few in America have even 

 heard of it. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



FRANCIS SCOTT KEY (H. T.) — It is very fitting that 

 suoh a fine new Rose should be honored with the name 

 of the author of the "Star Spangled Banner," and also 

 that it should hail from Baltimore, one of whose forts 

 was being assailed when the inspiration came to the 

 author to write our national anthem. The flowers are 

 from large to very large, with sixty or more petals 

 opening to a high center. The color is a magnificent 

 deep red rose. Wherever it has been staged this Rose 

 has swept all competitors from the Tjoards and secured 

 every prize it has entered for. Grand for the garden. 

 35 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



GENERAL SUPERIOR ARNOLD JANSSEN (H. T.) — 

 This is a fine new Rose by the same introducer as that 

 of Jonkheer S. L. Mock and Mevrouw Dora Van Tets. 

 It is now considered by many that Mock has that old- 

 time favorite. La France, bested. General Janssen is 

 a wonderful Rose, the color being a deep, glowing, car- 

 mine or brightest red. Flowers of the largest size, full 

 and fragrant. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



HARRY KIRK (T.) — A splendid Rose, of most robust 

 growth, with free-branching habit, flowering freely and 

 continuously; the blooms are large, wtth large, smooth 

 petals of great substance; the form is perfect, the buds 

 long and elegant. Color, deep sulphur-yellow, passing 

 to a lighter shade at the edges of the petals. Awarded 

 a gold medal by the National Rose Society of England. 

 This Rose is difficult to propagate, and will always, for 

 this reason remain high in price, although when once 

 rooted and established, is a good grower. 35 cente; 

 two-year plants, 75 cente.
