The “EXCELSIOR” List of Ever=Blooming Roses==-Continued

FLORENCE FORRESTER (H. T.)—Clear snow-white with a 
lemon tinge; as the flowers age they become a pure white; the 
blooms are even larger than Paul Neyron. Its habit is abso- 
lutely perfect, and the freedom with which it flowers is marvel- 
ous. We consider this Rose the grandest of all whites for bed- 
ding. For size and substance has no equal among Hybrid 
Teas. Is very sweetly perfumed. Gold Medal, National Rose 
Society. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents each. 
FLORENCE PEMBERTON—Creamy-white, flushed and shaded. 
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY (H. T.)—It is very fitting that such 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 in- 
spiration 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 boards and secured every prize 
it has entered for. Grand for the garden. 35 cents each; 
two-year plants, 60 cents each.

are very long, of deep Marechal Niel yellow, opening to almost 
single blooms of clear lemon-yellow. Awarded gold medal, 
National Rose Society of England. 35 cents each; two-year 
plants, 60 cents each. 
GORGEOUS—Flowers large and full, exquisitely formed and pro- 
duced in endless profusion. Deep orange-yellow and heavily

coloring which has yet been introduced. The most striking 
Rose in existence. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents 
each. 
GRUSS AN TEPLITZ—Brightest red of all Roses. Extra. 
HADLEY (H. T.)—In color it is a deep velvety-crimson, re- 
taining its brilliancy at all seasons of the year. The variety is 
double and buds are well formed. The fragrance is excelled 
only by American Beauty. It is a strong, rapid grower, and 
the flowers are borne on long, stiff stems. It has proven itself 
under thorough trial to be an all-the-year-round forcing variety. 
35 cents each; two-year plants, 60 cents each. 
HELEN GOULD—A rich red Rose that is a great bloomer; the 
shade of red has been described best as a watermelon-red; 
elegant. 25 cents each; two-year plants, 50 cents each. 
HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet)—What the introducers 
say: “This is 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 im- 
mense size and exquisite form, makes it without question 
the greatest Tea Rose ever introduced, and we are proud 
to have brought it out.”’ 25 cents each; two-year plants, 
50 cents each.

buds and flowers. 25 cents each; two-year-old, 50 cents 
each. 
KILLARNEY—Clear rich deep shell-pink; a great beauty. 
KILLARNEY BRILLIANT (H. T.)—The introducers are to 
be congratulated 16 years after the advent of Killarney in

bestof the Killarney type. Killarney Brilliant has the same 
habit of growth and the same freedom of bloom as its 
parent, while the flower is more double. The color is a 
very brilliant pink and varies like Killarney. In the garden 
in bright weather is clear pink, and in dull weather almost 
crimson. Extra. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 60
