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



THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES-Concluded 



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 

 desirable 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. 



The "Excelsior" List of Ever-Blooming Roses 



NEW AND CHOICE FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING OR HOUSE CULTURE 



Price, 20 cents each; any six for $1.00. If you leave the selection of the varieties to us we will send seven 

 for $1.00. Large two-year-old Roses from this list, 40 cents each, or three for $1.10. 



For general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One-year-old 

 plants, such as we send by mail, bloom the first and each succeeding year from earlv spring until severe 

 frosts. Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a greater profusion of flowers, owing to their size. The 

 flowers are noted for their exquisite coloring and delightful fragrance; hardy everywhere in open ground 

 with protection of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs or similar materials. Plant liberally of one-year-old 

 Roses; the harvest of bloom they give the first year compensates for the trifling outlay. Anyone can 

 succeed with them.
