New Hardy Ever-blooming Rose. 



<$h 



Admiral Deweu . )[ "BftLDUlN 



HNEW Hybrid Tea Rose raised by Mr. J. H. Taylor, one of the 

 largest growers of Roses for the New York market. It is 

 of the largest size, very free flowering, blooming con- 

 tinuously throughout the year, whether planted out 



in the open ground or grown in pots or on 



benches in the greenhouse. It has been tried 



in the open ground and has been proved 



hardy in the vicinity of New York. 



Thousands of it are grown in green- 

 houses for the critical New York 



market, where it has been enthu 



siastically received by connois- 

 seurs in fine Eoses. The 



ground color is a light flesh 



tint, almost white, suffused 



with a beautiful blush, 



deepening to a rosy blush 



in the centre; a large, 



full Rose with broad, 



strong petals beauti 



fully cupped. The 



stems are strong and 



straight, holding the 



flowers erect. The 

 raiser thought so 

 highly of it that he 

 deemed it worthy 

 of being named in 

 honor of America's 

 great Admiral, and 

 received a letter of 

 thanks from Admi- 

 ral Dewey for 

 naming such a 

 beautiful Rose in 

 his honor. We 

 were so impressed 

 with its beauty 

 and excellence that 

 wepurchasedalarge 

 stock of it and offer 

 it very low for such 

 a grand new Rose.

" The Roses came safely to hand 

 and are beauties. All are growing 

 finely. I am grateful to you for the 

 superb ' Quartet' and the 'Jubilee' 

 Rose, and shall try my best to make 

 them glorify their producers. All 

 the seeds sent to me were likewise 

 elegant, and, judging from the 

 past, I shall be more than satis- 

 tied."

New Hybrid Tea Rose, 



Known also as 



*" "Red... 

 Kaiserin." 



'^'HIS fine, new Hardy Ever-blooming Rose we show on the 



U 



colored plate. (See page 141, No" 11 on the Plate ) The 

 color is unique, a very soft, intense carmine-crimson, with 

 deeper shades in the depths of the petals, in color 

 ^ very like "American Beauty." The profusion 

 of bloom is truly marvelous, every shoot 

 producing a flower. It is a grand acqui- 

 sition to our red Roses, and is equally 

 valuable for winter forcing or for sum- 

 mer blooming in the open ground. 

 Mr. John Cook of Baltimore, Md., 

 the raiser of Souv. de Wootton, 

 Mrs. Robt. Garrett, and other 

 fine Roses, wrote to us as 

 follows: ''I would like to 

 draw your attention to the 

 new red Rose, 'Balduin' 

 (or Red Kaiserin), the 

 best clean carmine or 

 red Rose yet introduc- 

 ed. I have grown it 

 now for four years 

 and can guarantee it 

 as the best outdoor 

 Rose in Its color. 

 We have a fine stock 

 of this grand new 

 Rose and offer it 

 very low consider- 

 ing its great merit 

 and its rarity. 

 We have every 

 confidence that 

 this grand new 

 Rose will attain 

 the very widest 

 popularity as an 

 outdoor bedding 

 variety on account 

 of free habit, hardi- 

 ness, superb color 

 and fine double 

 flowers.
