KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTOKIA. 



'■The Finest White Ever-Blooming Garden Rose. 



..-*■ 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. 



A Hybrid Tea Rose, soft pearly white, lightly tinted with lemon in the 

 center, just enough to relieve the white ; remarkably fragrant, a strong 

 healthy grower, with bold beautiful foliage. The habit is free ; the beau- 

 tiful, perfectly shaped flowers are borne in profusion on long graceful 

 stems, so that it will be invaluable for cut flowers. Prof essional florists 

 have been quick to perceive the great value of this peerless variety, and it 

 is now more eagerly sought after than almost any Rose on the market. 

 Since we offered this variety for sale we have received hundreds of letters 

 from all sections of the country praising it most highly and congratulating 

 us upon our judgment as originally expressed. It is not entirely hardy in 

 our northern latitudes. (See cut.) Price, strong plants from 3 in. pots, 

 $6.00 per 100. 



The New Changeable Tea Rose. 



. . . DUCHESS MARIE SALVIATI . . . 



Flowers large and double and delioiously fragrant. The coloring is 

 exquisite, being an orange chrome, lightened with rose and shaded with 

 yellow and tawny buff. It is beautiful, either in the bud or in the fully 

 expanded flower, and will be equally valuable for summer or winter bloom- 

 ing. Price, strong plants from 3 in. pots, $6.00 per 100 ; from 2 in. pots, 

 up to April 1, $4.00 per 100. 



An Ever= blooming Rose of Rare Beauty. 



GOLDEN GATE. 



A promising Rose of American origin, and one that seems to be admira- 

 bly adapted to the needs of our climate. The flowers are large, very full, 

 and finely formed, and of excellent substance ; the buds are long and of a 

 most desirable form ; the color is rich creamy white, beautifully tinged 

 with fine golden yellow ; the petals are large and broad, and exquisitely 

 bordered and tinted with clear rose, making altogether a Rose of rare 

 beauty. Price, strong plants from 3 in. pots, $6.00 per 100 ; from 2 in. 

 pots, up to April 1st, $4.00 per 100. 



The Peoples Rose. 



DUCHESSE DE BRABANT. 



In the deaiie to obtain new varieties of Roses, 

 rosarians and dealers are too often prone to over- 

 look old standard sorts which are unquestionably 

 meritorious. Some sorts are too good to be 

 crowded to the wall by new aspirants for honors, 

 as witness the Gen. Jacqueminot, Marechal Niel, 

 La France, Malmaison and many others, and to 

 this class belongs the Duchesse de Brabant. Roses 

 come and go, but these go on forever. 



Duchesse de Brabant unites in a pronounced 

 degree the highest attributes of a garden Rose ; it 

 is vigorous, never fails to produce flowers, healthy, 

 rarely diseased in any way, large full blossoms, 

 beautiful in the bud or open flower, a beauti- 

 ful shade of soft rosy flesh, deepening to warm 

 pink and bright rose, delightfully fragrant. Price, 

 strong plants from 3 in. pots, $6.00 per 100; from 

 2 inch pots, ready up to April 1st, $4.00 per 100. 



THE "SENSATION" TEA ROSE. 



. . . CORINNA . . . 



The tints of color blended in the flowers of this 

 beautiful Rose render it so attractive and distinct 

 from all other Tea Roses that the blooms exhibited 

 have created quite a sensation. They are flesh 

 color, shaded with rose and suffused with tawny 

 copper ; large size, full and of excellent shape, 

 very freely produced on strong stems. We feel 

 assured that for decorative purposes, cutting or 

 exhibition it is invaluable. The growth is vigor- 

 ous, and for a Tea Rose the plant is very hardy. 

 (See cut.) Price, strong plants from 3 in. pots, 

 $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.
