4 ELLA V. BA1NES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES-Continued 



HEXRIETTE (H. T.) — One of the finest in exist- 

 ence for bedding, garden and cut-flower pur- 

 poses; blooms erect on long stems; buds long 

 and pointed. Color fiery orange-crimson, 

 changing to soft coral-salmon. Very hardy. 

 Free in habit. 



KILLABJiEY BRILLIANT (H. T.) — The intro- 

 ducers are to be congratulated sixteen years 

 after the advent of Killarney in giving us this 

 distinct novelty, which is undoubtedly the best 

 of the Killarney type. Killarney Brilliant has 

 the same habit of growth and the same free- 

 dom of bloom as its parent, while the flower is 

 more double. The color is a very brilliant pink 

 and varies like Killarney. In the garden in 

 bright weather is clear pink, and in dull 

 weather almost crimson. Extra. 



LADY PLYMOUTH (T.) — The color is a pearly, 

 delicate but deep ivory-cream, faintly flushed, 

 giving it a most piquant finish that is difficult 

 to describe. Awarded gold medal National 

 Rose Society of England, and silver 

 medal at Crystal Palace Show, London. 



LADY ROBERTS (T.) — The color is a rich 

 golden-yellow, very free bloomer and a 

 grand garden Rose. 



LOS ANGELES (H. T.) — Los Angeles is, by 

 all odds, one of the finest Roses ever in- 

 troduced. The growth is very vigor- 

 ous, and produces a continuous suc- 

 cession of long-stemmed flowers of a 

 luminous flame-pink toned with coral 

 and shaded with translucent gold at 

 the base of the petals. In richness of 

 fragrance it equals in intensity the 

 finest Marechal Niel. The buds are 

 long and pointed and expand into a 

 flower of mammoth proportions, while 

 the beauty of form and ever increas- 

 ing wealth of color is maintained from 

 the incipient bud until the last petal 

 drops. 50c each; 2-year plants, $1.00. 



LILLIAN MOORE (H. T.) — No Rose ever has 

 been offered to the public with the same cre- 

 dentials, having won in strenuous open com- 

 petition with Roses from all countries of the 

 ■world the much-coveted One-Thousand-Dollar 

 Trophy offered by the "Panama-Pacific Exposi- 

 tion" for the best new seedling Rose not in 

 commerce, and named "Lillian Moore" in honor 

 of the wife of the president of the exposition, 

 Mr. Charles C. Moore. Color deep pure Indian- 

 yellow, deeper center; long buds; free bloomer. 

 MADAME COLLETTE MARTINET (H. T.) — A 

 vigorous grower of coppery-orange color. The 

 color is very deep and clear, and holds well, 

 which can be said of few yellow sorts. It is a 

 nice grower, free in bloom, and those wanting 

 a yellow different from "Ward" or "Sunburst" 

 should try this one.

MADAME BUTTERFLY — (New.) Is Hill's glorified 

 sport of Ophelia. Seen and admired by thousands. 

 All the color tones of Ophelia are intensified, mak- 

 ing it a harmony of bright pink, apricot and gold. 

 Ophelia ranks at the top in popularity and Madame 

 Butterfly will surpass it. It averages more petals 

 to the bloom; it produces more bloom to the plant 

 because it makes more branches, everyone carry- 

 ing a bud. The tight buds are a lovely shade of 

 Indian oak, yellow at the base; they are unique 

 for corsages and for low table decorations; the 

 opening flowers are perfect in form and texture, 

 clear and brilliant in color and of delicious fra- 

 grance. 50 cents. 



JHDAME MARCEL DELANNEY (H. T.)— A sur- 

 prisingly beautiful novelty raised by the intro- 

 ducers of the popular Rose Jonkheer J. L. Mock, 

 and honored with the award of the Gold Medal of 

 the Bagatelle Gardens at Paris, 1915. It is dis- 

 tinct and peculiar in color, a pale soft pink or rose 

 shaded with hydrangea-pink. The flowers are 

 very large, full and fragrant, perfect in form, and 

 borne on rigid stems. The growth is vigorous 

 and very floriferous. 



MISS WILMOT (H. T.)— The most refined and 

 charming Rose ever raised. There is an appeal- 

 ing sweetness about this most distinct variety 

 that will please lovers of Roses all the world 

 over. The color is practically a uniform soft sul- 

 phurv-cream, with the faintest flush towards the 

 edges. In shape and form this Rose is a model of 

 perfection, everv flower comes perfect and pro- 

 duced with a freedom that is marvelous. A won- 

 derful garden Rose. Gold medal, N. R. S. 35c eacit.
