These new Roses originated by our Mr. James Farquhar may 
be grown as tall spreading bushes, or on posts or trellises six to 
eight feet in height. They are all of vigorous growth and have 
passed through our recent severe winter unprotected without 
injury. : 
BEACON BELLE. Double. A very showy variety with beautiful 
clusters of flesh-colored flowers, becoming pure white when in 
full bloom. Massive clusters making a very effective display. 
BETTY ALDEN. Single. A wonderful variety bearing immense 
clusters of single Apple Blossom Pink flowers which gradually 
change to pure white when fully expanded. The plant when in 
bloom is literally smothered with flowers. This variety is of 
dense growth with beautiful red bark and bright shining foliage. 
BOSTON BEAUTY. Double pink, fragrant. The buds are clear, 
deep pink, gradually changing to silvery-pink when fully devel- 
oped. The flower clusters are very large, containing from 15 to 
20 perfectly double fragrant flowers. Another attractive feature 
is their red bark; foliage large and of a glossy green color. 
Prices of the foregoing Roses, $2.00 each: $20.00 per doz.
