THE "EXCELSIOR" LIST OF EVER-BLOOMING ROSES— Concluded 



OPH ELI A — Salmon-flesh shaded with rose, large and of perfect 

 shape; of excellent habit; the flowers standing up well on long, 

 stiff stems and produced in great profusion. Excellent for forc- 

 ing and a fine decorative variety. Growth vigorous. Cer- 

 tainly a glorious Rose. Be sure to have "Ophelia" fixed in your 

 memorv. 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. 



PAPA GONTIER — Deep red; very free and sweet. 



PERLE VON GODESBERG (Schneider, 1902.)— The Yellow 

 Kaiserin. This is identical with Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, the 

 peer of any Rose, except in color, being a pure white with yellow 

 center. Exquisitely beautiful. 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".S0. 



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 might 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. 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." 



RADIANCE 



RADIANCE (Cook, 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. 



RED LETTER DAY — Glowing crimson-scarlet. 



RED RADIANCE (H. T.)— All who know that grand Rose Radi- 

 ance will welcome this red form of that great favorite. Radiance 

 is a Rose that does well everywhere; a fine grower and free 

 bloomer, and no prettier pink Rose grown. Red Radiance is its 

 exact counterpart except that the color is a rich deep red. 



RHEA REID (Hill, 1908.)— This is the new red forcing Rose; 

 flower large and double, very free blooming and exquisitely 

 fragrant, rich dark velvety red; a good red garden Rose. The 

 flowers are double, of fine size, while the color is all that is to be 

 desired. 



RICHMOND — Pure rich scarlet; very free and continuous flower- 

 ing; splendid forcer. 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. 



ROSE MARIE (H. T.)— This is a grand Rose of the very highest 

 merit. A rich red that has come to stay. Might best be de- 

 scribed as a bright watermelon-red. Very desirable. 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. 



SAFRANO — The old standby for a winter bloomer; lovely saf- 

 fron-colored buds of the most delicious fragrance. 



SNOWFLAKE — Snow-white; most profuse bloomer of all Roses. 



SOMBREUIL — Pure white tinged delicate pink; hardy. 



SOUV. DE LA MALMAISON— Creamy-flesh, rose center. 



SOUV. DE PIERRE NOTTING— Orange-yellow, bordered car- 

 mine. *

 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. 



THE BRIDE — Best winter blooming white Rose; planted by mil- 

 lions by growers of cut flowers; none finer. 



THE QUEEN — Beautiful large, pure white flowers; extra. 



T1PPERARY (H. T.) — In color stands between Lady Hillingdon 

 and Melody, showing an attractive shade of soft golden-yellow 

 in the bud and half developed flower. Its freedom of flowering 

 and its habit of growth will make it one of the most desirable 

 Roses of its color. 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.

 naturally reflexed guard petals of brilliant velvet vermilion 

 tipped scarlet. Stems rigid, habit branching, large oval beech- 

 green foliage. Rich tea fragrance; rich in color. 



WELLESLEY— Self-pink; very bright in color.

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

WHITE LA FRANCE— Pure white with shadings of fawn. 



WHITE MALMAISON— Pure white, shaded lemon-yellow. 



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. 



WILLIAM SHEAN — Purest pink, petals well-shaped, four to five 

 inches long ; flowers of immense size and substance and of perfect 

 form; free blooming and distinct. 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. 



YVONNE VACHEROT (Soupert & Notting, 1905.)— Color, por- 

 celain-white, strongly_ marked with pure pink; long pointed buds 

 of splendid form carried on stiff stems and opening to very large 

 flowers. Awarded the gold medal at Liege. * 



Climbing Tea, Noisette and 



Climbing Hybrid Tea Roses

 flowers of rare and striking beauty. As they are all climbers, they should be placed near porches, pillars or trellises, where they have 

 support. They are hardy in the South.
