 the Dorothy Perkins. Completely hides the plant with its 

 bloom. 



BABY ECHO — The best Polyantha produced. Color rosy-flesh. 

 Of splendid growth and freedom of bloom, which are of wonder- 

 ful keeping qualities either on or off the plant. This is the im-

ETOILE LUISANTE, or BABY HERRIOT— Just picture to 

 yourself the Fairy or Sweetheart Rose ("Cecile Brunner") col- 

 ored up like the Daily Mail Rose ("Mme. Edouard Herriot"), 

 only brighter and more brilliant than when that variety is at its 

 best, and you will have some conception of the beauty of this 

 little gem which on account of the similarity in color has been 

 known among the cut flower trade as Baby Herriot. Its color is 

 a shrimp-pink, with intense, coppery-scarlet suffusion, the base 

 of the petals goiden-yellow which intensifies and lightens up its 

 high colors. Plant is of free growth and floriferous. We are

 with a good admixture of Tea Blood ; like all of its class, it is free

 profusion. The dainty little pointed yellow buds open into 

 pretty little symmetrical Roses. Will prove a very popular 

 corsage variety; is grown in quantity now for this purpose. 



GRUSS AN AACHEN — Yellowish-rose colored with salmon-pink 

 and red shadings; full, strong, free blooming and disease proof; 

 erect and of moderate growth. Owing to the size and beauty of 

 •^ts flowers and its symmetrical growth, this variety is highly rec- 

 ommended for low, bright massing.

MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER— This is the popular 

 Baby Pink Rose. It is also known as Sweetheart and Mignon. 

 In the past year or two this Rose has fairly jumped into popu- 

 larity. It always was a popular outdoor Rose on the Pacific 

 Coast, but recently even in the effete East and everywhere in 

 America they are planting it simply by thousands for cut flowers. 

 It has become quite the rage. It makes a handsome miniature 

 Rose, coming in sprays of three to five buds and combines in 

 beautiful effect with so many other flowers in all kinds of floral 

 work. It is a very prolific bloomer and if carefully protected in 

 the winter should be a money-maker, both outdoors and under 

 glass. The bud and flower are both handsome. Color, blush, 

 shaded light salmon-pink; distinct and desirable. 



MISS EDITH CAVELL — Bright crimson; white eye; very beau- 

 tiful. One of the best new Baby Roses. 35 cents each, 3 for 

 $1.00, 12 for $3.85; two-year plants 70 cents each, 3 for 

 $2.00, 12 for $7.10. 



MRS. WM. H. CUTBUSH— Flowers the delicate pink of Dor- 

 othy Perkins. i 



ORLEANS — The showiest and prettiest of all the Baby Ramblers. 

 This charming and dainty Rose is of beautiful rounded habit and 

 is a huge bouquet of deep cerise or Geranium-pink, with distinct 

 showy center of pure white; florets not crowded, but of beautiful 

 arrangement, making as a whole a charming combination that 

 cannot be beaten. Color is irresistible. Plant grows like a 

 weed, and the flowers are nearly "immortelle" in their lasting 

 qualities. Awarded gold medal. 



RED ORLEANS — Color is brilliant geranium-red, suffused with 

 rose, and center white. The flowers come in great tresses and 

 make a fine showing all summer. This Rose when massed in 

 solid beds or along borders is very fine. Awarded a gold medal. 

 One-year plants 25 cents each, 3 for 71 cents, 12 for $2.65; 

 two-year plants 50 cents each, 3 for $1.40, 12 for $5.50. 



TIP TOP ("Baby Doll") — This delightful little "Sweetheart" 

 Rose is a wonder. The color is absolutely new, and quite start- 

 ling in its brilliancy, golden-yellow tipped with clear, bright 

 cerise. The foliage is narrow, long and sharply pointed, a deep 

 glossy green — very beautiful setting for the lovely little doll 

 roses, a bench of "Baby Doll" being an even parterre of delicious 

 color. "~
