MADAME CAROLINE TESTOUT—Bright pink. 
MADAME COLLETE MARTINET (H. T.)—A vigorous grower 
of coppery-orange color. The color is very deep and clear 
and holds well, which can be said of few yellow sorts. It is a 
nice grower, free t jn bloom, and those wanting a yellow different 
from “Ward” or “Sunburst” should try this one. 35 cents 
each; two-year plants, 60 cents each. 
MADAME CONSTANT SOUPERT—Deep yellow.

yellow.

tiful SOC RE raised by the introducers of the popular Rose 
Jonkheer J. L. Mock, and honored with the award of the Gold 
Medal of the "Bagatelle Gardens at Paris, 1915. It is distinct 
and peculiar in color, a pale soft pink or rose shaded with hy- 
drangea-pink. The flowers are very large, full and fragrant, 
perfect in form, and borne on rigid stems. The-growth is 
vigorous and very floriferous. 35 cents each; two-year

yellow. 
MADEMOISELLE HELENE CAMBIER—Coppery yellow; 
deep center. 
MADISON—Pure white, exquisite. 
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. 
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 
stems, great numbers of perect flowers that are enchanting in 
fragrance and delicate ightness. 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. 25 cents each; two-year-old, 50 cents each. 
MARIE GUILLOT—The old standby for a pure white Rose. 
MARIE VAN HOUTTE—Straw-yellow flushed with crimson.

MISS WILMOT (H. T.)—The most refined and charming Rose 
ever raised. There is an appealing sweetness about this most 
distinct variety that will please lovers of Roses all the world 
over. The color is practically a uniform soft sulphury-cream 
with the faintest flush towards the edges. In shape and form 
this Rose is a model of perfection, every flower comes perfect 
and produced with a freedom that is marvelous. A wonderful 
garden Rose. Gold medal, N. R. S. 35 cents each; two- 
year plants, 60 cents each.

medal, N. R. S. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents 
each. 
MRS. CHARLES BELL (Pierson, 1914)—This new Rose will 
appeal to those who grow Roses out of doors. It may be de- 
scribed as a shell-pink Radiance, and is a sport of that well 
known Rose. It has no characteristics which make it distinct 
from Radiance except that it is shell-pink. Mrs. Chas. Bell, 
Red Radiance and Radiance offer a range of color that will be 
welcome. No finer garden Roses for America than these three. 
35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents each. 
American Rose has taken the country by storm. No other 
forcing Rose except ‘‘American Beauty” can compete with it 
when it comes to counting points. Stems three feet long, stiff 
and surmounted by grand rosy-pink blooms of the largest size 
and build. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents each. 
MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER—Bright peach-pink; superb. 
MRS. HENRY WINNETT (H. T.)—This is a seedling raised by 
John H. Dunlap, of Canada, and has the distinction of being 
the first seedling Rose of Canadian origin that has been offered 
in commerce. In color it is a bright shade of crimson, not so 
dark as Hadley, and not so light as Richmond. It is a color 
that pleases the retail storeman and his patrons. The finest of 
all the red or crimson varieties. The buds are long and well 
formed. A superb red Rose. 35 cents each; two-year: 
plants, 60 cents each. 
MRS. MACKELLAR (H. T.)—The glorious blooms make this 
an imposing Rose. A deep citron or delicate pure canary color. 
As the large blooms gracefully expand the guard petals charm- 
ingly reflex and become pearly primrose-white of great decora- 
tive beauty. Award of merit (unanimous). R. H. S., London. 
35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents each. 
MR. P. L. BAUDET—Color carmine-rose flecked with salmon- 
yellow, center darker. Flowers large and full, vigorous in

cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents each. 
MY MARYLAND—Clear, glowing pink; extra.

full, handsome flowers of great beauty, flowering freely and 
continuously. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents 
each. 
OPHELIA—Salmon-flesh shaded with rose, large, and of perfect 
shape; of excellent habit; the flowers standing up well on long, 
stiff stems and produced in great profusion. Excellent for

tainly a glorious Rose. Be sure to have ‘‘Ophelia’’ fixed in 
your memory. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents 
each.

each; two-year plants, 50 cents each. 
PERLE DES JARDINS—Clear golden-yellow; very rich. 
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 a 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 Presi- 
dent Taft, and then you will not say enough.” 25 cents each; 
two-year plants, 50 cents each. 
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. 25 cents each; two-year plants, 50 cents each. 
RED LETTER DAY—Glowing crimson-scarlet. 
RED RADIANCE (H. T.)—All who know that grand Rose 
Radiance will welcome this red form of that great favorite. 
Radiance is a Rose that does well everywhere; a fine grower 
and free bloomer, and no prettier pink Rose grown. Red 
Radiance is its exact counterpart except that the color is a rich 
deep red. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents each. 
RHEA REID—Richest deep crimson; fine for garden. 
RICHMOND—Pure rich scarlet; very free and continuous flower- 
ing; splendid forcer. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 
cents each. 
ROSE MARIE (H. T.)—This is a grand Rose of the very highest 
merit. A rich red that has come to stay. Might best be de- 
scribed as a bright watermelon-red. Very desirable. 35 cents 
each; two-year plants, 60 cents each. 
SAF RANO—The old standby for a winter bloomer; lovely saffron- 
colored buds of the most delicious fragrance. 25 cents each; 
two-year plants, 50 cents each.

SOMBREUIL—Pure white tinged delicate pink; hardy.

size; color delicate fawn or salmon;ffine. 
SOUV. DE PIERRE NOTTING—Orange- yellow, bordered

two-year plants, 50 cents each. 
THE QUEEN—Beautiful large, pure white flowers; extra 
TIPPERARY (HH. T.)—In color stands between Lady Hillingdon 
and Melody, showing an attractive shade of soft golden-yellow in 
the bud and half developed flower. Its freedom of flowering and 
its habit of growth will make it one of the most desirable Roses 
of its color. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents each.
