No. 1. Tn'timnh ^ grand new Hybrid Tea Rose, introduced 

 1 riumpn. ^y us. It is a strong-growing, very free 

 blooming variety, long straight stems, large and handsome 

 foliage. The blooms are splendid, large, full and double, the 

 buds are finely shaped, borne singly and erect on strong stems. 

 The color is a beautiful shade of deepest carmine-pink with 

 crimson tones and a beautiful sheen. The fragrance is strong 

 and spicy. Perfectly hardy in this latitude and ever-blooming. 

 More plants of it are cultivated by the ama- 

 teur, and more cut bloom is sold by the flow- 

 er dealer than any pink Rose. The buds are of exquisite shape, 

 solid and firm, and the stems are so long and stiff that no other 

 Rose will compare with it in keeping qualities after being cut. 

 It is the same color all the time under every condition of 

 weather and surroundings. 



No. 3. T"U,> Rt-irlo '^' ie ^ es * i vor y white Tea Rose. The buds, 

 1 ne Dnae which are f g ranc j s { zei are carried high and 

 erect on bright, smooth stems. It is unsurpassed for purity of 

 whiteness and for form and size. In the bright, hot weather of 

 midsummer, when planted out-of-doors, it usually shows some 

 pink on the outer petals. 



This variety is 



remarkable for 

 its robust habit and the profuse manner 

 in which it blooms. The flowers are of 

 medium size and of a beautiful deep rose 

 color on the outer petals, quite red in 

 some cases ; while the inner petals are 

 soft silvery-rose, buff at the base. 



No 5 Mme. Eugene Marlitt. 



One of the best of the newer Roses for 

 garden purposes. It is exceptionally 

 healthy, vigorous and free blooming. 

 The flowers are large, very double and 

 full. The color is a rich bright carmine, 

 with reddish tone, and does not fade or 

 bleach in the hottest weather. It is 

 quite hardy and delightfully fragrant.

low color, with the outer pedals washed 

 and outlined with a bright rosy-pink; 

 occasionally the whole flower will be suf- 

 fused with the light pink. It grows 

 vigorously, blooms profusely, and is 

 most deliciously scented ; in cold weath- 

 er it almost changes color, taking on 

 gorgeous crimson tints.

the garden and the most satisfactory 

 variety in its color. The coloring is 

 strikingly handsome, a blending of deep 

 yellow with coppery-yellow and buff 

 shadings. Fine buds and splendid flow- 

 ers which remain in condition a long time. 



Princess Alice de Monaco. 



The flowers are produced in wonderful 

 profusion, are deliciously fragrant, large 

 size, double to center, and of fine form. 

 Creamy-white on the outside of the 

 petals, with a faint rosy-blush on the 

 edges. As the flowers expand they dis- 

 close a charming shade of opaline-pink, 

 deepening to rich blush.
