THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES-Continued 



MRS. CAMPBELL, HALL (Tea) — Delicate creamy- 

 buff, edged or suffused rosy-carmine. The cen- 

 ter of the bloom is warm cerise coral-fawn. 

 Very deliciously fragrant. Awarded gold 

 medal, N. R. S. 



MRS. HENRY WEVNETT (H. T.) — This is a seed- 

 ling 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. 



MRS. JOHN COOK— White, suffused with deli- 

 cate pink, describes the color of this strong- 

 growing, big-flowered daughter of Ophelia. The 

 color varies with the season, the flush of pink 

 being more pronounced during cool weather, 

 while the Rose is almost white dui;ing the long 

 days of bright sunshine. In bud it is nicely 

 formed, the mature flower opening cup-shaped 

 but expanding fully to a large and finely- 

 formed bloom. It is bigger and better in sum- 

 mer than White Killarney and, with its deli- 

 cate pink in dark ■weather, isi a very charming 

 color. 50 cents. 



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 

 charmingly reflex and become pearly primrose- 

 white of great decorative beauty. Award of 

 merit (unanimous), R. H. S., London. 



MURELLE (T.) — A Rose of the type of Safrano, 

 only a much stronger grower. It is a very free 

 bloomer and is a Rose with a great future. 

 Color rosy-blush with saffron-yellow. 



NATIONAL EMBLEM (H. T.) — Dark crimson of 

 perfect shape, habit and inflorescence; as a 

 bedding, massing and cutting Rose it is unique. 

 Buds long and pointed, opening to large, full, 

 handsome flowers of great beauty, flowering 

 freely and continuously. 



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 

 forcing and a fine decorative variety. Growth 

 vigorous. Certainly a glorious Rose. Be sure 

 to have "Ophelia" fixed in your memory.

Miss Wilmot (See description on page 20). 



PILGRIM — (New.) In color, a beautiful shade of 

 bright rose-pink. The bud, which opens per- 

 fectly, is long and of ideal form. Pilgrim is a 

 Rose of good substance and petalage, and at any 

 stage of development is perfect in color and 

 form of flower. Its pronounced tea fragrance 

 will attract all Rose lovers. It is prolific and 

 highly productive of first quality blooms. The 

 stems are straight and strong. It is the pink 

 Rose to grow. 50 cents. 



PREMIER — This is the long-looked for deep Rose 

 for the garden; a beauty, and one you will be 

 pleased with. It is a very free bloomer, almost 

 smothering the plant. The color is bright and 

 attractive. The growth is all that is to be 

 desired, and altogether a wonderful Rose. 50 

 cents. 



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. 



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 described as a bright water- 

 melon-red. Very desirable. 



TIPPERARY (H. 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 de- 

 sirable Roses of its color. 



W. C. GAUNT (H. T.) — Of medium size, with pointed 

 buds, with naturally reflexed guard petals of bril- 

 liant velvety vermilion, tipped scarlet. Stems 

 rigid, habit branching, large oval beech-green 

 foliage. Rich tea fragrance; very rich in color.
