plant with bloom all through summer and fall. 
tell you something about these miniature Roses. 
up to the fact that they have come to stay. They are useful either pot grown or for bedding purposes or for hedge effect. 
The plants are splendid for bedding, or as edgings for borders they are hardy. 
While Europe has appreciated these Roses for years, America is just beginning to wake 
Let us 
20 cents 
each; six for $1.00; two-year plants, 50 cents each; three for $1.25. 
ANNA MULLER—The pink Baby Rambler; always in bloom. 
BABY RAMBLER—Completely hides itself all summer; bright 
ted. 
CATHERINE ZEIMET—The White Baby Rambler; extra. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT (Soupert & Notting, 1890)—(H. Poly.) 
Known the world over as one of the very best of all bedding 
Roses. The only rival of ‘““Hermosa’”’ as a bedder and market 
pot plant. The color effect is beautiful ivory-white, shading 
toward the center to bught silvery-pink. Everybody’s Rose. 
ELLEN POULSON—Dark brilliant pink; fragrant; fine. 
ERNA TESCHENDORFF—Deep crimson flushed with carmine; 
very dark. 
JESSIE—Bright cherry-crimson. Superb. 
LE PONCEAU—Dark red in large clusters. 
MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER—This is the popular 
Baby Pink Rose. It is also known as Sweetheart and Mignon. 
In the past year or two this Rose has fairly jumped into popu- 
larity. It always was a popular outdoor Rose on the Pacific 
Coast, but recently even in the effete East and everywhere in 
America they are planting it simply by thousands for cut flowers. 
It has become quite the rage. It makes a handsome miniature 
Rose, coming in sprays of three to five buds and combines in 
beautiful effect with so many other flowers in all kinds of floral 
work. It is a very prolific bloomer and if carefully protected 
in the winter should be a money-maker, both outdoors and 
under glass. The bud and flower are both handsome. Color, 
blush, shaded light salmon-pink; distinct and desirable. 
MRS. WM. H. CUTBUSH—Flowers the delicate pink of Dorothy 
Perkins. 
PERLE d’OR—Coppery-orange, changing to fawn. 
PHYLLIS—Pretty, bright carmine-pink, very bushy and of 
branching habit, producing long feathery panicles of flowers 
from June until frost. A novel rose, ideal for bedding, massing 
and decorative use in pots. 
“Famous” Rose Collection for Garden Planting 
We guarantee that no better Twelve Roses for the Garden were ever offered than this ‘‘Famous” Collection. Try them. Price 
25 cents each; the entire twelve for $2.50. 
ANTOINE RIVOIRE (Mrs. Taft)—This is the famous Mrs. Taft 
Rose of the fashionable Eastern markets. This Rose is in a 
class by itself; no Rose ever produced has such substance of 
petal; felon 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 GOULD—A rich red Rose that is a great bloomer; the 
shade of red has been described best as a watermelon-red; ele- 
gant. 
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 in- 
troduced, and we are proud to have brought it out.” 
KAISERIN AUGUSTA WICTORIA—A grand white garden 
Rose that has stood the test of time. Full and double; fine 
buds and flowers. 
MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden Roses)—Such 
beauty and exquisite form as is possessed by this variety is well- 
nigh 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. 
Two-year-old plants, 50 cents each; the entire twelve for $5.00. 
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 
stemg, 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 himself 
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 bloomer, 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.

Suitable for planting in cold climates. All are extremely fragrant.

fragrance than American Beauty. A most beautiful Rose and 
a great favorite. 25 cents; two-year plants, 75 cents. 
ARTHUR R. GOODWIN—The color is coppery orange-red, 
passing to salmon-pink as the flowers expand. A superb com- 
bination of color.

brilliant scarlet reflexed tips, with heavy and unique pure 
crimson-maroon veining on reverse.

superb coral-red, shaded with yellow, and bright rosy-scarlet 
passing to a shrimp-red.” 50 cents; two-year plants, $1.00.

PINK AMERICAN BEAUTY, or GEORGE AHRENDS—

fine; brilliant clear pink.

white Rugosa Rose. Strong and vigorous; grows four feet high. 
Flowers perfectly double; pure snow-white. Fragrant. 
WHITE AMERICAN BEAUTY, or FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI 
—This grand white Rose has become renowned as the very 
highest type of its class and the best snow-white Rose ever 
introduced. It is an extraordinarily strong grower, and has the 
vigor and hardiness of an oak. Its magnificent flowers are 
nothing less than glorious—immense in size and produced with 
great freedom. Color is a marvelous white, without a tinge 
of yellow or any other shade. A true paper-white, the standard 
by which all white Roses are judged. We grow ‘‘White Ameri- 
- can Beauty”’ literally by the thousands, 40 cents; two-year 
plants, 75 cents.
