ANTOINE RIVOIRE (Mrs. Taft)— This is the famous Mrs. 

 Taft Rose of the fashionable Eastern markets. This Rose is 

 in a class by itself; no Rose ever produced has such substance 

 of petal; color creamy-white with rainbow tints; a beauty and 

 a wonder. 



BESSIE BROWN — A Rose of transcendent beauty; of the largest 

 size; color pearly-white with a delicate tinge of fawn. 



ETOILE DE FRANCE — For the best red garden Rose it lies 

 between this one, Rhea Reid and Helen Gould. Some say one 

 and some say the other. 



ETOILE DE LYON— Still the best large golden-yellow Rose. 



HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet)— What the introducers 

 say, "This is a true Cochet Rose, and after two year's trial in 

 the garden we pronounce it as good if not better than any Rose 

 for the garden ever sent out. We bought the entire stock of 

 this Rose, paying $1,000 for two plants, this being by far the 

 highest recorded price ever paid for any Rose. The color is a 

 delicate yellow suffused with pink, each petal edged deeper, 

 very chaste and beautiful." The color, with its immense size 

 and exquisite form, makes it without question the greatest 

 Tea Rose ever introduced, and we are proud to have brought 

 it out." 



HELEN GOULD — A rich red Rose that is a great bloomer; the 

 shade of red has been described best as a watermelon-red; 

 elegant. 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA— A grand white garden 

 Rose that has stood the test of time. Full and double; fine buds 

 and flowers. 



MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden Roses)— Such 



beauty and exquisite form as is possessed by this variety is well- 

 nigh marvelous and cannot be seen in any other Rose we know 

 of. The buds are beautiful, large, full and firm and elegantly 

 pointed; as they expand they show great depth and richness, 

 sometimes measuring two and a half inches from base to tip. 

 Flowers superb when open, extra large, perfectly double and of 

 splendid substance. Small pot plants will in the open ground 

 quickly make large strong bushes and produce, on long, stiff 

 stems, great numbers of perfect flowers that are enchanting in 

 fragrance and delicate brightness. The color is rich, clear pink 

 changing to a silvery-rose. As we see it, one good Rose like 

 any of the Cochet Roses is worth a whole collection of poor ones. 



RADIANCE (Cooke, 1909.)— A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying 

 beautiful 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 a superior Rose. 



PRESIDENT TAFT (McCullough, 1908.)— This Rose was raised 

 in Cincinnati, the home of President Taft, and let us 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 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. Our late Mr. Frank Good, 

 who was probably familiar with more Roses than any man in 

 America, said, "Talk all you want to about the Rose President 

 Taft, and then you will not say enough." 



WHITE MAMAN COCHET (No Finer Rose Than This)— 



This Rose attracted our attention from the very first time we 

 ever saw it in flower. It is of the largest size, and as you will 

 notice, the flower is built up, or rounded and very double. The 

 color is a pure snow-white. Sometimes, outdoors it is tinged 

 pink, which only adds to its great beauty. No Rose surpasses 

 it in vigorous growth, and in the immense size of its buds and 

 flowers — indeed, nothing in the Tea family approaches it in 

 size. Deliciously fragrant. 



WM. R. SMITH — This Rose has several names, such as Charles 

 Dingee, Jeanette Heller, Maiden's Blush, etc Color delicate 

 blush. It has no superior as a garden Rose.
