ANTOINE RIVOIRE — This is the famous 

 :\Irs. Taft Rose of the fashionable east- 

 ern 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.

 ant beauty; of largest size; color pearl- 

 Avhite, 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.

 golden-yellow Rose. 



HELEN GOULD— A rich red Rose that 

 is a great bloomer; the shade of red has 

 been described best as a w^atermelon 

 red ; elegant.

 grand white garden Rose that has stood 

 the test of time. Full and double; fine 

 buds and flowers.

 silvery-pink. 



SOUVENIR DE PRES. CARNOT— A 

 grand Rose of the largest size; color 

 a delicate fawn or salmon: extra fine. 



MA:>L\^N COCHET (The Queen of All 

 Garden Roses) — Such beauty and ex- 

 quisite form as is possessed by this 

 variety is well-nigh marvelous, and can- 

 not 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 en- 

 chanting in fragrance and delicate 

 brightness. The color is rich, clear 

 pink, changing to a silvery-rose. 



WHITE ]>IA3IAN COCHET (No Finer 

 Rose Than This) — 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 deli- 

 cate blush. It has no superior as a 

 garden Rose.

 Tausendschoen." It is a bush form of 

 the "Climbing Tausendschoen," or 

 "Thousand Beauties." having all the 

 charm in the variable coloring in its

 yellow buds open into pretty little sym- 

 metrical Roses. 15 cents ; two-year
