NEW POLYANTHA, OR BABY ROSES 



PRICE, 25 CENTS EACH; TWO-YEAR PLANTS, 60 CENTS. 



BABY DOROTHY — This is a glorious Rose. Flowers 

 resemble the Dorothy Perkins. Completely hides 

 the plant with its bloom. 



BABY ECHO — The best Polyantha produced. Color 

 rosy-flesh color. Of splendid strong growth and 

 freedom of bloom, which are of wonderful keeping 

 qualities either on or off the plant. This is the 

 improved Baby Tausendschoen. It has more sub- 

 stance and more color, and is the best of all Baby 

 Roses for pot culture. Be sure and try this one. 



BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAU- 

 TIES — Its flowers are large, so much like Thou- 

 sand Beauties, that it has been rechristened Baby 

 Thousand Beauties. It is a bush form of the 

 Thousand Beauties, having all the charm of the 

 variable coloring in its flowers that its parent 

 has, being firm, white, delicately flushed pink, 

 changing to deep rosy-carmine. A splendid Rose. 

 Try it. 



EDITH CAVELL — Bright crimson; white eye; very 

 beautiful. 



ETOILE LUISANTE, or BABY HERRIOT — Just pic- 

 ture to yourself the Fairy or Sweetheart Rose 

 ("Cecile Brunner"), colored up like the Daily Mail 

 Rose ("Mme. Edouard Herriot"), only brighter and 

 more brilliant than when that variety is at its 

 best, and you will have some conception of the 

 beauty of this little gem which, on account of the 

 the similarity in color, has been known among the 

 cut flower trade as Baby Herriot. Its color is a 

 shrimp-pink with intense coppery-scarlet suffu- 

 sion, the base of the petals golden-yellow which 

 intensifies and lightens up its high colors. Plant 

 is of free growth and floriferous. "We are certain 

 that Baby Herriot will please everyone. 



GEORGE ELGER — A lovely little golden-yellow 

 Polyantha Rose, with a good admixture of Tea 

 blood; like all of its class, it is free in growth, 

 free in bloom, with small, glossy foliage produced 

 in profusion. The dainty little pointed yellow 

 buds open into pretty little symmetrical Roses. 

 Will prove a very popular corsage variety; is 

 grown in quantity now for this purpose. 



GREETING OF AACHEN — Yellowish-rose colored 

 with salmon-pink and red shadings; full, strong, 

 free blooming and disease 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. 



BE 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 flow- 

 ers. Has fine keeping qualities. 



MULE. 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. Ex- 

 tremely showy. 

 ORLEANS — The showiest and prettiest of all the 

 Baby Ramblers. This charming and dainty Rose 

 is of beautiful rounded habit and is a huge bou- 

 quet 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. 

 The color is irresistible. The plant grows like a 

 weed and the flowers are nearly "immortelle" in 

 their lasting qualities. We believe that they will 

 outlast almost any other Rose in existence with 

 their stiff paper-like texture. This pretty Rose 

 has taken Europe by storm and is making a sen- 

 sation in this country. Awarded gold medal. 



Baby Doll, or Tip Top. 



ROSARIE, OR PINK THOUSAND BEAUTIES — This 

 is a bright pink form of that famous Rose, "Thou- 

 sand Beauties." A grand Rose from any standpoint. 



TIP TOP, "Baby Doll" — This delightful little "Sweet- 

 heart" Rose is a wonder. The color is absolutely 

 new, and quite startling in its brilliancy, golden- 

 yellow tipped with clear, bright cerise. The foli- 

 age 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.

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 BROWN — 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 say one and some say the other. 



ETOIBE DE LYON — Still the best large golden- 

 yellow Rose. 



HELEN GOULD — A rich red Rose that is a great 

 bloomer; the shade of red has been described best 

 at 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 $1,000 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.
