MISS C. H. LIPPINCOTT 



The Cream of the New Roses 



ADMIRAL, WARD (H. T.)— Vig- 

 orous, branching, erect growth. 

 Large, glossy, bronzed foliage. 

 Very large, full, globular flow- 

 ers, freely and continuously 

 produced. Color deep velvety 

 crimson-red, shaded fiery-red. 

 A grand garden Rose. 50 cents. 



BRITISH QUEEN (H. T.)— We 

 quote the introducer's descrip- 

 tion: "Experts who have seen 

 British Queen growing, agree 

 that it is the finest white Rose 

 in existence, surpassing in 

 beauty and elegance of form 

 all other white varieties. The 

 freedom with which it blooms 

 is remarkable. It is in flower 

 from June until winter, and on 

 well cultivated plants the 

 blooms are a model of perfection. 

 The type of flower is between 

 White Maman Cochet and Frau 

 Karl Druschki, with Tea Rose 

 form and refinement; frequent- 

 ly in the bud state it shows 

 a slight flush; this disappears 

 as the flower opens into purest 

 whiteness. It is a good grower 

 and sweetly scented. Awarded 

 a gold medal by the National 

 Rose Society «f England. Those 

 who have had the pleasure to 

 see this magnificent Rose blooming at Portsdown will never forget the sight. 

 20 cts. each; 2-year plants, 50 cts. 

 KILLARNEY BRILLIANT (Alex Dickson. 1914.)— The introducers are to be con- 

 gratulated sixteen 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 a crimson. Extra. 25 cts.; two-year plants, 60 cts. 

 KILLARNEY QUEEN (Budlong. 1912.)— A cerise-pink sport of Killarney that for 

 clearness and brightness of color has not been equalled ; exceptionally strong in 



frowth, with foliage that is perfect, being larger than Killarney and more glossy. 

 n size of petals Killarney Queen is larger tnan its parent, and for high grade 

 bloom it is a very superior variety. Forces fine. 20 cts.; two-year plants, 50 cts. 



LADY MARY WARD (H. T.) — Rich orange, shaded deeper apricot-orange, with a 

 decided metallic flush. Very free-flowering, with fine habit of growth. Sweetly 

 perfumed, attractive and decorative. Gold Medal, N. R. S. 20 cents; two-year 

 plants, 50 cents. 



OPHELIA (H. T.)— When Ophelia was sent out on its message of Rose beauty to 

 entrance the world, there was placed a tablet in the hall of Rose fame to Wm. 

 Paul & Son that will grow brighter as the flight of time goes on. Its lustre will 

 never tarnish or grow dim. A more enduring memorial than anything else In the 

 world can give. Think what joy and happiness, yea. peace, this Rose will produce 

 as the ages go by, and how modest Mr. Paul & Son were in their description, which 

 we give verbatim: "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 forcing and a fine decorative variety. Growth 

 vigorous." Certainly a glorious Rose. Be sure to have "Ophelia" flxed in your 

 memory. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



I have bought Phlox "Drummondi Grandiflora" seed from you two different times 

 and my Phlox were just lovely. I had such a lovely bed last summer. 

 Whitehall, Wis., April 29, 1916. Ella Gibler.
