year-old plants, 25 cents each; any six for $1.25; 
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 
produced has such substance of petal; color 
creamy-white with rainbow tints; a beauty 
and a wonder. 
BESSIE BROWN—A_ Rose _ of transcendent 
beauty; of largest size; color pearl-white, with 
a delicate tinge of fawn. 
ETOILE DE FRANCE—For the best red garden 
Rose it lies between this one, Rhea Reid and 
Helen Gould. Some say one and some say the 
other. 
ETOILE DE LYON —Still the best large golden- 
yellow Rose. 
HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet)—What the 
introducers 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 $1,000 for 
two plants, this being by far the highest re- 
corded 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 immense size and exquisite 
form, makes it without question the greatest 
Tea Rose ever introduced, and we are proud to 
have brought it out.” 
HELEN GOULD—A rich red Rose that is a great 
bloomer; the shade of red has been described 
best as a watermelon-red; elegant, 
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. 
Price, 15 cents each; any four for 50 cents; the entire twelve for $1.25; two- 
the entire twelve for $2.25. 
MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of All Garden 
Roses)—Such beauty and exquisite form as is 
possessed by this variety is well-nigh marvel- 
ous, 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 pro- 
duce, on long, stiff stems, great numbers of 
perfect flowers that are enchanting in fra- 
grance 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 at any price. 
SOUVENIR DE PRES. CARNOT—A grand Rose 
of the largest size; color a delicate fawn or 
salmon; extra 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 sur- 
passes it in vigorous growth and in the im- 
mense 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, ete. Color delicate blush. It 
has no superior as a garden Rose.
