Cornelia Cook — Buds of immense size, borne up high on 

 massive stems, and with their round, full, heavy form, carry- 

 ing an air of grace and dignity quite unusual. The flowers 

 are of the clearest, snowiest white and very beautiful. 



General de Tartas— A first-class Rose for bedding. Bril- 

 liant carmine, deeply shaded with violet purple, extra large, 

 very double, full and fragrant; very easy to manage, excellent 

 for cutting for bouquets. 



Madame Caroline Kuster — Bright lemon yellow; very 

 large and handsomely shaped; one of the finest Roses; very 

 free flowering. When its wood has once been hardened, it 

 bears buds as large and handsome as Marechal Niel. 



Madame Agatha Nabonnand — An exceedingly sweet 

 and daintily beautiful Rose, resembling in its exquisite color 

 the delicate tinting seen inside the fairest deep-sea shells — rosy 

 flesh, bathed in golden amber. It has immense egg-shaped 

 buds, broad, shell-like petals, and large, full flowers of beauti- 

 ful form; free-flowering, and a great favorite for wearing. 



Madame Bravy — One of the most beautiful Roses in my 

 collection. The flowers are large and round; the outside of 

 bud is creamy and soft, with a most charming blush tinge to 

 the center, and the arrangement of the inner petals is seldom 

 equaled for beauty. Delicious tea scent. 



Louis Richard — A superb Rose imported from Trance. 

 Extra large, splendid, full form; very double; delicious tea 

 scent; ;olor, rich coppery rose, changing to buff, shaded with 

 carmine; center sometimes brilliant rosy crimson. 



Jules Finger — A magnificent Rose, elegant and very val- 

 uable. It has extra large and fine double flowers, which are 

 full and sweet. The color is a bright rosy scarlet, beautifully 

 shaded with intense crimson; of vigorous growth and a free 

 bloomer. 



Souvenir d'un Ami — The color is a deep rosy flesh, 

 beautifully shaded with rich carmine; edges and reverse of 

 petals silver rose; clear and bright. A Rose that wUl please 

 the most exacting. 



Price, 10 Cents Each, 3 for 25 Cents. All New Kinds.

I can recommend this Collection to all who desire to grow Roses in the house during 



Winter. In ordering, please say the "Christmas" Collection. 



Bridesmaid, New — The most elegant pink Rose. Very 

 large. Buds extra fine. One of the sweetest and very best for 

 cutting for bouquets. 



Beaute Inconstant — A wonderful new Rose, various col- 

 ors, from crimson to light pink, with shades of tawny red, or- 

 ange, chrome and deep rose. 



Clotilde Soupert— The best of all pot Roses, literally 

 loaded with bloom at every stage of growth. Color, beautiful 

 pinkish amber, flushed with silvery rose, with shades of 

 salmon. 



Champion of the World— It is the champion bloomer. It 

 commences to bloom as soon as started to grow, and continues 

 to bloom in the greatest profusion, both Winter and Summer. 

 A rich, deep rosy-pink or flesh color. 



Christine de Noue, New— This is a great Winter-bloom- 

 ing Rose, with buds and flowers of the largest size. Color, 

 richest crimson. The best Rose of its color. 



General Robert E. Lee — This Rose, which was intro- 

 duced the past Spring, will produce more beautiful Roses in 



the Winter than any Rose grown. A small bush will produce 

 hundreds of blooms. Color, orange yellow. Very rich and 

 beautiful. Extra fine. 



Isabella Sprunt— A bright canary yellow, large, beautiful 

 buds, suitable for cut flowers; very sweet tea scent, profuse 

 bloomer. Freest blooming of all Yellow Roses. Has been a 

 favorite in all gardens where good Yellow Roses are grown for 

 the past twenty years. None better. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria— A new pure white Rose. It 

 is very large and double. A royal Rose in every respect. A 

 Rose I can recommend. 



Papa Gontier— Grand Red Tea, fine crimson shade, silken 

 texture (distinct from velvety texture); bud of fine size, grace- 

 ful form; extremely free growth and bloom. Long, beauti- 

 fully leaved stems can be cut, foliage being very dark and 

 heavy. One of the best and a perfect bedder. 



Star of Gold — This is the best all-around deep golden yel- 

 low Tea Rose that is grown. The buds are very large and 

 shapely, while the flower is double to the center; it is a deeper 

 golden yellow than Marechal Niel. Don't fail to try it.
