Price of These "Imperial" Roses, 30 Cents Each, or the Three for 75 Cents) Two- Year- 

 Old Plants, 60 Cents Each, the Three for $1.50. 



MADAME RA VARY— It is probable that more of this yellow 

 Rose is planted in England, Ireland and the continent than 

 all other yellows combined. In habit and growth it is 

 much like Madame Caroline Testout. The buds are long and 

 pointed, of a beautiful golden-yellow, opening into enor- 

 mous flowers of orange-yellow, the edge of petals shading 

 lighter, making a combination of color that is irresist- 

 ible. Extra grand. 



KAISER WILHELM II— Growth vigorous and upright. Flow- 

 ers large and very full. Buds elongated, always opening 

 well. Color the richest shade of velvety crimson, almost 

 black. An excellent garden Rose. 



MY MARYLAND — An American Rose that has jumped into 

 popular favor at once, sweeping the decks of both Europe 

 and America clean. Color glowing, intense pink ; large, full 

 and of fine form. The freest Rose in growth and 

 bloom that we know. This is a wonderfully fine Rose for 

 the garden. Always produces fine buds and flowers and al- 

 ways in bloom.

WHITE MAMAN COCHET— A sport from Maman 



Cochet with creamy-white flowers, faintly tinged 



with blush ; long pointed bud opening to large 



flowers: an exceedingly pretty and valuable variety that can 



be highly recommended. 



MADAME SEGOND WEBER— One of the grandest 

 novelties of recent years ; everybody is talking 

 about it, and the more one knows of this wonder- 

 ful Rose the more he will talk about it, and, what is of real 

 value, every bit of talk about Mme. Segond 'Weber is in 

 praise of her. Rosy-salmon or flesh-pink in color, of the 

 general type and color of "My Maryland." The bud is long 

 and pointed, opening into enormous blooms which deepen its 

 color until fully expanded, when it is as impressive as an 

 "American Beauty." The texture of the Rose is very thick 

 and heavy and the form of the petals peculiarly beautiful. 

 A great garden Rose ; awarded two gold medals. 

 II. O RADIANCE — A new American Rose; there are none 

 mUi better. A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying beau- 

 tiful rich and opaline-pink tints in the open flower. 

 The form is fine, largest size and full, with cupped petals. 

 It blooms constantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is, 

 next to President Taft, the strongest growing of all H. T. 

 Roses. Simply grand; superb. 



SENATEUR MASCU RAND— This is my pick of all 

 the yellow Hybrid Tea Roses ; it is a good grower, 

 very free bloomer ; flowers are large, full and 

 globular ; color deep orange-yellow, lighter on the edge of the 

 petals. This is a much better garden Rose than Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward. When I say orange-yellow I do not mean lemon- 

 yellow ; it is the yellowest of all Roses. 



LAURENT CARLE — An extremely vigorous grower, 

 with fine erect branching habit and fine dark- 

 green foliage ; long buds are borne on long stems, 

 opening into large flowers of perfect form, just full enough 

 to open freely, color brilliant velvety-carmine. A very prom- 

 ising variety ; another Rose it will certainly pay you to try. 

 I know it has a future. i 



PRESIDENT TAFT— This Rose was raised in Cin- 

 cinnati, the home of President Taft, and let me 

 say right here, while some of you may not admire 

 the President himself, you will, one and all, admire the Rose 

 given his name. It is without question the most remarkable 

 of all pink Roses. It has a shining, intense, deep pink color 

 possessed by no other Rose.- It is a fine grower, free 

 bloomer, good size and form, fragrant, and in a class by 

 itself as to color. Mr. Prank Good, who is probably 

 familiar with more Roses than any man in America, says: 

 "Talk all you want to about the Rose President Taft, and 

 then you will not say enough." Do not confound this Rose 

 with Leuchtfeuer, which some have attempted to rename 

 President Taft.
