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



New Polyantha, or Baby Roses 



CONCLUDED 



Price, 25 Cents Each 



GRUSS AN AACHEN — Yellowish-rose colored with salmon- 

 pink and red shadings; full, strong, free blooming and dis- 

 ease proof; erect and of moderate growth. Owing to the 

 size and beauty of its flowers and its symmetrical growth, 

 this variety is highly recommended for low, bright massing. 



liE MARNE — Dwarf, perpetual flowering Polyantha. Semi- 

 double flowers, bright salmon-rose at the edges, rosy-blush 

 inside. Blooms abundantly and continuously in bouquets of 

 fifteen to forty flowers. Has fine keeping qualities. 



MLLE. FRANCISQUE FAVRE — Dwarf Polyantha. Robust in 

 growth, quite continuous in bloom, flowering in large trusses 

 of single flowers. Color, velvety crimson, with large silver- 

 white eye. Extremely showy. 



ORLEANS — The showiest and prettiest of all the Baby Ram- 

 blers. This charming and dainty Rose is of beautiful rounded 

 habit and is a huge bouquet of deep cerise or Geranium- 

 pink, with distinct showy center of pure white; florets not 

 crowded, but of beautiful arrangement, making as a whole 

 a charming combination that cannot be beaten. Color is irre- 

 sistible. Plant grows like a weed and the flowers are nearly 

 "immortelle" in their lasting qualities. Awarded gold medal. 



ROSARIE, or FINK THOUSAND BEAUTIES — This is a bright 

 pink form of that famous Rose, "Thousand Beauties." A 

 grand Rose from any standpoint. 



TIP TOP, "Baby Doll" — This delightful little "Sweetheart" Rose 

 is a wonder. The color is absolutely new, and quite startling 

 in its brilliancy, golden-yellow tipped with clear, bright 

 cerise. The foliage is narrow, long and sharply pointed, a 

 deep glossy green — a very beautiful setting for the lovely 

 little doll roses, a bench of "Baby Doll" being an even 

 parterre of delicious color. 



Bahy Poll, or Tip Top. 



"Famous" Rose Collection for Garden Planting 



We guarantee that no better Twelve Roses for the Garden were ever offered than this "Famous" Col- 

 lection. Try them. Price, 25 cents each; the entire twelve lor $2.50. 



ANTOINE RIVOIRE — This is the famous Mrs. Taft 

 Rose of the fashionable Eastern markets. This 

 Rose is in a class by itself; no Rose ever pro- 

 duced has such substance of petal; color creamy- 

 white with rainbow tints; a beauty and a wonder. 



BESSIE BROWS — A Rose of transcendent beauty; 

 of the largest size; color pearl-white with a deli- 

 cate tinge of fawn. 



ETOILE DE FRANCE — For the best red garden Rose 

 it lies between this one, Rhea Reid and Helen 

 Gould. Some sav one and some say the other. 



ETOILE DE LYON — Still the best large golden-yel- 

 low Rose. 



HELEN GOULD — A rich red Rose that is a great 

 bloomer; the shade of red has been described best 

 as a watermelon-red; elegant. 



HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet) — What the in- 

 troducers 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 51,000 for two plants, this 

 being by far the highest recorded price ever paid 

 for any Rose. The color is a delicate yellow suf- 

 fused 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." 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA — A grand white 

 garden Rose that has stood the test of time. Full 

 and double; fine buds and flowers. 



LA FRANCE — This is claimed by many to be the 

 queen of all the Roses; bright silvery-pink. 



MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden Roses) 



— Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed 

 by this variety is well-nigh marvelous, and can- 

 not be seen in any other Rose we know of. The 

 buds are beautiful, larg.e full and firm and ele- 

 gantly 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 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. 



SOUVEMR DE PRES. CARNOT — Grand Rose of the 

 largest size; color delicate fawn or salmon; fine. 



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 su- 

 perior as a garden Rose.
