ELLA V. BA1NES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES-Continued 



LADY PLYMOUTH (T.) — The color is a pearly, 

 delicate but deep ivory-cream, faintly flushed, 

 giving it a most piquant finish that is difficult 

 to describe. Awarded gold medal National Rose 

 Society of England, and silver medal at Crystal 

 Palace Show, London. 



LADY ROBERTS (T.) — The color is a rich gold- 

 en-yellow, very free bloomer and a grand gar- 

 den Rose. 



LOS ANGELES (H. T.) — Los Angeles is, by all 

 odds, one of the finest Roses ever introduced. 

 The growth is very vigorous, and produces a 

 continuous succession of long-stemmed flowers 

 of a luminous flame-pink toned with coral and 

 shaded with translucent gold at the base of 

 the petals. In richness of fragrance it equals 

 in intensity the finest Marechal Niel. The buds 

 are long and pointed and expand into a flower 

 of mammoth proportions, while the beauty of 

 form and ever increasing wealth of color is 

 maintained from the incipient bud until the 

 last petal drops. 50 cents each. 



LILLIAN MOORE (H. T.) — No Rose ever 

 has been offered to the public with the 

 same credentials, having won in stren- 

 uous open competition with Roses from 

 all countries of the world the much-cov- 

 eted One-Thousand-Dollar Trophy of- 

 fered by the "Panama-Pacific Exposi- 

 tion" for the best new seedling Rose 

 not in commerce, and named "Lillian 

 Moore" in honor of the wife of the 

 president of the exposition, Mr. 

 Charles C. Moore. Color deep pure 

 Indian-yellow, deeper center; long 

 buds; free bloomer. 



MADAME BUTTERFLY — (New.) Is 

 Hill's glorified sport of Ophelia. Seen 

 and admired by thousands. All the 

 color tones of Ophelia are intensified, 

 making it a harmony of bright pink, 

 apricot and gold. Ophelia ranks at 

 the top in popularity and Madame 

 Butterfly will surpass it. It averages 

 more petals to the bloom; it produces 

 more bloom to the plant because it 

 makes more branches, everyone carrying a bud. 

 The tight buds are a lovely shade" of Indian 

 oak, yellow at the base; they are unique for 

 corsages and for low table decorations; the 

 opening flowers are perfect in form and tex- 

 ture, clear and brilliant in color and of de- 

 licious fragrance. 50 cents. 



MADAME MARCEL DELANNEY (H. T.) — A sur- 

 prisingly beautiful novelty raised by the intro- 

 ducers 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 sofe pink 

 or rose shaded with hydrangea-pink. The flow- 

 ers are very large, full and fragrant, perfect 

 in form, and borne on rigid stems. The growth 

 is vigorous and very floriferous.

Lillian Moore. 



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 in bloom, and those wanting a yellow different 

 from "Ward" or "Sunburst" should try this one. 



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 wonder- 

 ful garden Rose. Gold medal, N. R. S. 35 cents. 



MR. P. L. BAUDET (H. T.) — Color carmine-rose flecked with 

 salmon-yellow, center darker. Flowers large and full, vigor- 

 ous in growth, continuous in bloom. A unique two-tone Rose. 



MRS. BRYCE ALLAN (H. T.) — Strong Moss-rose perfume. 

 Color carmine-rose. Flowers globular in form, very erect 

 stems, deep green foliage. 



MRS. CHARLES BELL (Pierson, 191S) — This new Rose will ap- 

 peal 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, and there are no finer garden Roses for America 

 than these three. 



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

 ican 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.
