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



GRUSS AN TEPLITZ— Brightest red o£ all Roses. Extra. 



HADLEY (H. T.) — In color it is a deep velvety-crimson, retaining 

 its brilliancy at all seasons of the year. The variety is double 

 and -uds re well formed. The fragrance is excelled only by 

 American Beauty. It is a strong, rapid grower, and the flowers 

 are borne on long stiff stems. It has proven itself under thor- 

 ough trialto be an all-the-year-round forcing variety. One-year 

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

 plants 50 cents, 3 for $1.40, 12 for $5.50. 



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

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

 gant. 



HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet)— What the introducers 

 say. "This is a true Cochet Rose, and after two years' 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 S1.000 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 in- 

 troduced, and we are proud to have brought it out." 



HERMOSA — Beautiful bright pink flowers; old favorite. 



HERZOGIN MARIE ANTOINETTE (H. T.)— Very long buds 

 of pure orange or old gold; very large flowers of perfect form. 

 .Soupert & Notting, of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, say: 

 "This is the finest yellow of all the yellow roses." Gold medal 

 M. Gladbach; certificate of merit of the German Nurserymen's 

 Society; also prizes of honor at Leipsic, Sangerhausen and 

 Zweibrucken. 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. 



ISABELLA SPRUNT — Flowers freely during the winter; flowers 

 of the richest yellow color. 



IVORY (T.) (American Rose Co., 1903.)— A pure white sport of 

 Golden Gate; forces well. 



JONKHEER J. L. MOCK (Leenders, 1910.)— This grand Rose is 

 the strongest growing in the Hybrid Tea class. The blooms 

 which are produced with the greatest freedom, are carried on 

 stiff and erect stems, and are of the largest size, of perfect forma- 

 tion and highly perfumed. Color clear imperial-pink; a glorious 

 flower. Awarded two gold medals, one silver medal and five 

 first prizes in Europe. We can confidently recommend this 

 sterling novelty as a most valuable addition. The largest 

 flowers of all Hydrid Teas. A wonderful Rose. 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA— A grand white garden 

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

 and flowers. 



KILLARNEY (Alex. Dickson, 1898.)— The finest pink forcing 

 Rose ever introduced. In coloring it is especially beautiful, 

 being an exquisite shade of deep seashell pink. The buds and 

 flowers are of enormous size, the petals being frequently two and 

 one-half inches deep. 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. 



KILLARNEY BRILLIANT (H. T.)— The introducers are to be 

 congratulated 16 years after the advent of Killarney in giving us 

 this distinct novelty, which is undoubtedly the best of the 

 Killarney type. Killarney Brilliant has the same habit of 

 growth and the same freedom of bloom as its parent, while the 

 flower is more double. The color is a very brilliant pink and 

 varies like Killarney. In the garden in bright weather is clear 

 pink, and in dull weather almost crimson. Extra. 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.^; 



LA FRANCE — This is claimed by many to be the queen of all the 

 Roses; bright silvery-pink. 



LADY BATTERSEA — Long pointed buds of richest red; elegant. 



LADY HILLINGDON (Lowe & Shawyer, 1910.)— At the Detroit 

 Rose show in January, 1912, this was awarded the sweep-stakes 

 over all yellow Roses. It has long willowy stems that are in no 

 sense weak, as the buds are held upright; has a long slender 

 pointed bud of brilliant deep golden-yellow, and a striking pe- 

 culiarity of this Rose was that each day of the show this golden- 

 yellow color became deeper yellow and more intense, unlike all 

 other yellow Roses with which we are familiar, as invariably the 

 tendency after being cut is to get lighter in color. This Rose at 

 no stage of its development shows this lighter color as does Sun- 

 burst and other of the yellow Roses, but is always an even, deep 

 intense golden-yellow. 



LADY PLYMOUTH (T.)— The color is a pearly, delicate but 

 deep, ivory-cream, faintly flushed, giving it a most piquant 

 finish that is difficult to describe. Awarded gold medal National 

 Rose Society of England, and silver medal at Crystal Palace 

 Show, London. 



LADY ROBERTS (T.)— The color is a rich golden-yellow, very 

 free bloomer and a grand garden Rose. 



LADY URSULA — Flesh-pink; large, full and perfectly formed. 



LAURENT CARLE (Pernet Ducher, 1907.)— An extremely vig- 

 orous 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 promising variety; 

 another Rose it will certainly pay you to try. We know it has 

 a future. 



LOUIS PH I LLIPE— Bright red; very free bloomer. 



MADAME ABEL C HAT EN EY— Rosy-pink, with lighter shad- 

 ings. 



MADAME CAROLINE TESTOUT (Pernet Ducher, 1890.)— 

 This charming Rose is in great demand. It is always scarce and 

 always will be hard to get hold of, as it is slow in propagating. 

 Clear bright satiny-pink, flowers very large and extremely 

 showy; quite distinct. We are the largest growers of Testout in 

 the world, and never have enough to go around. It is the Rose 

 par excellence in Oregon and the Pacific Coast; in fact, it does 

 well everywhere. 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. 



MADAME CONSTANT SOUPERT— Deep yellow. 25 cents 

 each; two-year plants 50 cents each, 3 for $1 .40, 12for $5.50. 



MADAME JENNY GILLEMOT— Saffron-yellow, opening pale- 

 yellow. ' 



MADAME LOMBARD — Rosy-red, with silver reflex, extra fine. 



MADAME SEGOND WEBER— A beautiful grand deep pink. 



MADEMOISELLE FRANZ ISCA KRUGER— Deep coppery yel- 

 low. One-year plants 25 cents each, 3for 71 cents; 12 for 

 $2.65; two-year plants 50 cents each, 3 for $1 .40, 12 for $5.50. 



MADEMOISELLE HELENE CAMBIER (Pemet Ducher, 1893) 

 «*■ — Grand flower, opens orange-yellow, changing to coppery-yel- 

 low, and then again changing to almost white. 



MADISON — Pure white, exquisite. 



MAM AN 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. 



MARIE GUILLOT— The old standby for a pure white Rose. 



MARIE VAN HOUTTE— Straw-yellow flushed with crimson. 



METEOR — A grand rich dark crimson; superfine. 



MELODY — Color, pure deep saffron-yellow. Extra. 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. 



MRS. AARON WARD — Golden-orange, distinct and 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 $5.50. 



MRS. ARTHUR ROBERT WADDELL (Pernet Ducher, 1908) 

 — Rosy-scarlet, buds opening reddish-salmon, reverse of petals 

 rosy-scarlet; semi-double flowers. A good decorative variety. 

 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. 



MRS. BENJAMIN R. CANT (Benj. Cant, 1901)— Very vigor- 

 ous in growth and quite hardy for a Tea, forming bushes of great 

 size and beauty. Flowers are full, globular, well formed and 

 sweetly scented. Color deep rose; inner petals soft silvery-rose 

 suffused with buff at the base. Exceedingly free flowering and 

 especially attractive in the autumn, continuing in bloom until 

 the winter. Awarded the Gold Medal of the National Rose 

 Society of England. i 



MRS. CAMPBELL HALL (Tea)— Delicate creamy-buff, edged 

 or suffused rosy-carmine. The center of the bloom is warm 

 cerise coral-fawn. Very deliriously fragrant. Awarded gold 

 medal, N. R. S. 



MRS. CHARLES BELL (Pierson, 191S)— This new Rose will 

 appeal to those who grow Roses out of doors. It may be de- 

 scribed as a shell-pink Radiance, and is a sport of that well- 

 known Rose. It has no characteristics which make it distinct 

 from Radiance except that it is shell-pink. Mrs. Chas. Bell, 

 Red Radiance and Radiance offer a range of color that will be 

 welcome. No finer garden Roses for America than these three. 

 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. 



MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL (H. T.)— This wonderful new 

 American Rose has taken the country by storm. No other forc- 

 ing Rose except "American Beauty" can compete with it when 

 it comes to counting points. Stems three feet long; stiff and sur- 

 mounted by grand rosy-pink blooms of the largest size and build. 

 One year plants 50 cents each, 3 for $1.40, 12 for $5.50; 

 two-year plants $1.00 each, 3 for $2.90, 12 for $11.50. , 



MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER— Bright peach-pink; superb. 



MRS. HENRY WINNETT (H. T.)— This is a seedling raised by 

 John H. Dunlap, of Canada, and has the distinction of being the 

 first seedling Rose of Canadian origin that has been offered in 

 commerce. In color it is a bright shade of crimson, not so dark 

 as Hadley, and not so light as Richmond. It is a color that 

 pleases the retail storeman and his patrons. The finest of all the 

 red or crimson varieties. The buds are long and well formed. 

 A superb red Rose. 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. 



MY MARYLAND — Clear, glowing pink, extra. 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. 



NILES COCHET (California Nursery Co., 1906.) (T.)— Cherry 

 red on outer petals, lighter within. A sport from the popular 

 Marxian Cochet and a far better rose. The flowers are just a 

 trifle smaller, stems are better, carrying flowers fairly well. It 

 is a remarkably free bloomer, particularly in the Fall, at the 

 very time when its color is at its best. Succeeds splendidly as a 

 "Standard" as well as in bush form; a strong grower. One- 

 year plants 35 cents each; no two-year to offer.
