THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES 



We here offer what is good in the new Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses. To have what is good you 

 must try these Roses. They are the best that England, France, Ireland, Italy, Holland and America 

 can produce. 



Price 25c. each, except where noted. Two-year plants, 60c, except where noted. 



COLUMBIA (H. T.) — This is a new American 

 Rose, grown by the veteran rosarian E. G. 

 Hill. It is a very vigorous grower of a true 

 pink shade, deepening as it opens to glow- 

 ing pink. A peculiarity of this variety is 

 that the shades all become more intense until 

 the full maturity of the open flower is 

 reached, and this color is enduring. 



COUNTESS CLANWILLUM (H. T.) — Flowers 

 very large and full, produced in endless 

 abundance; buds long and pointed, opening 

 to large, full, high centered flowers of great 

 beauty and refinement. Color delicate peach- 

 pink at the base of the petals, which are 

 flamed and heavily edged with deep cherry- 

 red, a beautiful contrast of color. A charm- 

 ing Rose. Gold medal, N. R. S. 



CRIMSON CHATENAY (H. T.) — This is the 

 Crimson Chatenay, a great Rose. All know 

 the Mme. Abel Chatenay. Well, this is a 

 crimson form with all the other good quali- 

 ties of its parent. 



CRIMSON Q.CEEN (H. T.) — A very strong, up- 

 right grower, flower large and full. Color a 

 rich bright velvety crimson. A grand garden 

 Rose, as it is always in bloom. 



CRUSADER — (New.) A big, strong growing 

 variety, robust and rugged in every charac- 

 teristic. The growth is heavy and the flower 

 stem strong and heavy. It is free flowering 

 and the blooms are big and double and in 

 color a rich velvety crimson. A free flower- 

 ing red Rose that is a wonder. 50 cents. 



FLORENCE FORRESTER (H. T.) — Clear snow- 

 white with a lemon tinge; as the flowers age 

 they become a pure white; the blooms are 

 even larger than Paul Neyron. Its habit is 

 absolutely perfect, and the freedom with 

 which it flowers is marvelous. We consider 

 this Rose the grandest of all whites for bed- 

 ding. For size and substance has no equal 

 among Hybrid Teas. Is very sweetly per- 

 fumed. Gold medal, National Rose Society. 



FRANCIS SCOTT KEY (H. T.) — It is very fitting 

 that such a fine new Rose should be honored with 

 the name of the author of the "Star Spangled 

 Banner," and also that it should hail from Balti- 

 more, one of whose forts was being assailed when 

 the inspiration came to the author to write our 

 national anthem. The flowers are from large to 

 very large, with sixty or more petals opening to 

 a high center. The color is a magnificent deep 

 red Rose. Wherever it has been staged this Rose 

 has swept all competitors from the boards and 

 secured every prize it has entered for. Grand for 

 the garden. 



FRANK W. DUNLOP — (New.) Did you see it at 



the International Flower Show at New York the 

 past spring? Its record at the exhibition, win- 

 ning silver medal for the best new pink Rose, 

 gold sweepstakes medal for the best seedling in 

 the show. Frank W. Dunlap was the finest flower 

 in the exhibition. Claimed to be better than Mrs. 

 Charles Russell. 50 cents. 



GLADYS HOLLAND (H. T.) — Of magnificent form 

 and size. Color, buff, shaded orange-yellow, out- 

 side of petals pearly-peach. Very free flowering. 

 Awarded a gold medal, National Rose Society of 

 England. 



GLOIRE DES BELGES (H. T.) — Growth vigorous 

 and free, flowering continuously until late in the 

 season. Buds oval, long and of elegant form 



Frank W. Dunlop. 



with vivid colors of carmine and cochineal. Fine 

 . for massing and a fine cut flower. 



GOLDEN SPRAY (H. T.) — Unique in habit and 

 growth, it sending up long arching shoots which 

 form great loose elegant sprays, every bud of 

 which opens up in succession. The buds are very 

 long, of deep Marechal Niel yellow, opening to al- 

 most single blooms of clear lemon-yellow. Award- 

 ed gold medal, National Rose Society of England. 



HADLEY (H. T.) — In color it is a deep velvety 

 crimson, retaining its brilliancy at all seasons of 

 the year. The variety is double and buds are well 

 formed. The fragrance is excelled only by Ameri- 

 can Beauty. It is a strong, rapid grower, and 

 the flowers are borne on long, stiff stems. It has 

 proven itself under thorough trial to be an all- 

 the-year-round forcing variety. 



HOOSIER BEAUTY (H. T.) — We use description of 

 E. G. Hill Co.: "If you need a more profitable 

 red Rose than the one you are growing, "Hoosier 

 Beauty' is your variety. It is as fragrant as Rich- 

 mond; has more petals, a stiffer stem, a texture 

 like velvet. In color, glowing crimson-scarlet, 

 with darker shadings. The bud is of good length, 

 ships well in the close-cut state, and opens into 

 a magnificent bloom, quite dazzling in velvety 

 brilliance. As soon as thoroughly established in 

 the soil sends out long, stiff growths with a bud 

 on every shoot."
