No. 1. New Hardy Hybrid Tea Rose. A variety of great distinctness of 

 Lady Battersea. :: character. The growth is vigor- 



ous, the shoots long, with fine 

 green leaves, each shoot bearing a flower thrown well above the 

 foliage. The buds are long, oval and pointed, and of a beautiful 

 cherry-crimson, permeated with an orange shade. The flowers 

 are of moderate size and almost full, with the petals held so 

 well together as to retain their form for a long time. When 

 first open the blooms are light rosy-crimson, still keeping the 

 orange tinge of the bud, brilliant in the extreme, passing to pure 

 soft rose, the color clear and attractive.

No. 3. New Hardy Ever-Blooming rsose. 



Wm. R. Smith. :: :: 



This magnificent variety is an 

 American-raised, pedigree seed- 

 ling. It inherits hardiness, con- 

 stitution, fine habit, grand foliage and superb flowers. Where 

 there are so many good qualities it is difficult to emphasize 

 the leading one, but in this variety we would name its ability 

 to resist disease. The color is a deep ivory white overlaid with 

 a good, bright shade of pink. As a summer Rose we predict it 

 will rank with the best if not actually surpass them.

Radiance. :: :: :: ni ^ nt Rose to th f 



public we, as usual, 

 will refrain from using high sounding adjectives; adhering closely 

 to the facts, as they speak for themselves. If any variety intro- 

 duced within our memory would warrant the use of enthusiastic 

 language RADIANCE is that one. 



It was raised by Mr. John Cook, who has given America her 

 best and most beautiful garden Roses, not one of which that we 

 can recall but is still offered by the leading Rose growers of the 

 world. We purchased the entire stock from him. 



RADIANCE is a seedling from CARDINAL, a brilliant rosy- 

 carmine, displaying beautiful, rich and opaline pink tints in the 

 open flower; the form is fine, largest size and full, with cupped 

 petals. The bad is large, brilliant, radiant; the stems are long, 

 buds and flowers borne erect on the strong stems, the foliage 

 is abundant and of splendid substance, a dark, healthy green. 

 It blooms constantly, delightfully fragrant and is so healthy 

 that it may be said to be immune against disease. Add to 

 these qualities that of hardiness and vigorous growth, then the 

 grand qualities of this peerless Rose are plainly told. 



RADIANCE is superior to any which might be cited as a rival, 

 in fact is so distinct that it may be said to be unrivalled. 



Price, 1st size, SI. 00 each, S9.00 per doz.; 2d size, 75c. each, 

 $7.50 per doz.; 3d size, 40c. each, S4.00 per doz.

Souvenir de Pierre Notting. 



This grand new Rose 

 has been well tested in 

 this country, showing 

 that it is well adapted to our climate. It is of strong, bushy 

 habit, with splendid, deep green foliage, strong and healthy, 

 so that it is almost immune against disease. The flowers 

 are very full, large and extraordinarily lasting, keeping over a 

 week when cut. The buds are very long, of a most beautiful 

 shape. The color is yellow with very delicate Chinese pink and 

 saffron-yellow shadings; the center of the flower is a very rich 

 golden-yellow. It is delightfully fragrant. In its abundance of 

 blossoms this grand new variety surpasses all other yellow 

 Roses; plants of a few months' growth are never without buds 

 of blossoms throughout the season. While the first flower-buds 

 are developing on top new growths appear below bearing another 

 crop, and this is succeeded by others.

No. 8. New Hardy Ever-Blooming Red Rose. 



Cardinal. :: :: :: 



The Hybrid Tea Roses are 

 gradually being developed 

 so that they withstand our 

 severe winters yet flower abundantly throughout the summer 

 season. 



Of all the Roses which we have introduced for years there is 

 none which has measured up better to the ideal standard than 

 this. Habit and bloom are beyond criticism. "Cardinal" 

 is a seedling of " Liberty" hybridized with an unnamed carmine 

 seedling in the third generation. It has amply fulfilled its prom- 

 ise of being thej most valuable red Rose, for the garden, in the 

 hardy, ever-blooming class, raised by Mr. John Cook. Color, 

 a rich cardinal-red. Is a very strong grower with a superb 

 flower. Its fragrance is very strong and sweet. The color of 

 the flowers holds good in the hottest weather; the form is such 

 that they remain perfect during the heated term; the health 

 and vigor of the plant enable it to produce flowers constantly 

 during the entire season. Since introducing this peerless variety 

 we have received hundreds of testimonials on it from purchasers, 

 and connoisseurs evervwhere proclaim its grand qualities.
