 grown for the New York market and cannot be surpassed for that purpose. They are also among 

 the best for stimmer blooming. 



Our essay on Winter-flowering Roses will be sent free to those applying for it. 



American Beauty. In " American 

 Beauty " we have a hardy Rose of the largest size, 

 having the ever blooming qualities of the Tea Rose 

 with the delicious odor of the Damask or Moss 

 Rose consequently equaliy valuable for winter or 

 summer flowering. In color it is a deep, brilliant 

 pink, shaded towards the centre with rich carmine 

 crimson. 40c each ; $4.00 per doz. ; $25 00 per 100 



Bon Silene. An old favorite and still 

 wanted by many. Beautiful carmine pink buds, 

 exquisite fragrance. 



Bridesmaid. Another Rose of American 

 origin, a ' sport" from C. Mermet. and possessing 

 all the good qualities of the parent variety. It 

 surpasses it in color, being a deep, brilliant pink 

 and corstant in color under all conditions. It is 

 invaluable for winter forcing. 



Catherine Mermet. This charming Rose 

 deserves and receives recognition from all Rose 

 lovers. The color is a delicate rosy pink unap 

 proached by any other. The buds are large, long 

 and pointed, of great substance and most delicious 

 fragrance. 



Christine de Noue. A new Tea Rose 

 of pronounced merit, largest size, full and double 

 and remarkably fragrant. The color of the flowers 

 is brilliant red at the base of the petals, toning up- 

 ward to brilliant rose-madder and lessening to 

 light rosy pink toward the edges. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A Hy- 

 brid Tea Rose, soft pearly white, lightly tinted 

 with lemon in the centre, just enough to relieve 

 the white ; remarkably fragrant, a strong, healthy 

 grower, withhold, beautiful foliage. The habit is 

 free ; the beautiful, perfectly shaped flowers are 

 borne in profusion on long graceful stems, so that 

 it will be invaluable for cut flowers. 



La France A large and beautiful Rose. 

 Color, peach-blossom pink shaded silvery rose. 



Madame de Watteville A grand rose 

 for winter blooming. Color, beautiful shell pink 

 deepening to bright rose at the edge of the petals, 

 the body of the flower being creamy white. " 



Maman Cocliet. The growth is free and 

 vigorous, very free-blooming, flowers of splendid 

 substance and a delightful shade of deep pink. 

 The buds are long and pointed, full and firm, last- 

 ing a long time when cut. 



Madame Hoste. This is a creamy white 

 shade with a clear amber centre, a handsome Rose, 

 and is never out of bloom. Whether wanted for 

 summer or winter flowers this excellent variety 

 cannot be surpassed. 



Mrs. Pierpont Morgan. We have no 

 hesitation in saying that this is one of the very 

 finest Tea Roses ever produced in America. It is 

 a sport from Madame Cusm. and is in every way 

 very' much superior to that variety, being a much 

 more robust grower ; the flowers are very much 

 larger and very double (many measured 4^ inches 

 through when in perfection) ; with much larger 

 foliage than its parent, it is also much more proli- 

 fic ; the petals are broad and massive. The color 

 is intensely bright cerise, or rose pink, with porce- 

 lain rose shadings. Price, 40c. each; $4.00 per doz.: 

 $25.00 per 100. 



Meteor. This is a remarkably rich, dark 

 velvety crimson Rose ; so dark, indeed, that under 

 certain conditions it is blackish crimson. For 

 winter flowers it is rapidly becoming the most 

 valuable variety on the market. 



Perle des Jardins. No Rose of its color 

 is more valuable than this. Tens of thousands 

 of it are grown in the vicinity of New York for^ 

 winter flowering ; it is equally valuable for sum-' 

 mer as it flowers continuously. Its color is a rich 

 shade of yellow ; large size and perfect form. Tea 

 fragrance a healthy, free grower, and unequalled 

 in profusion of bloom. 



Senator McNaughton, A " Sport " 

 from that grand yellow Tea Rose, Perle des Jar- 

 dins, ivory white in color, and popularly known as 

 the " White Perle." It is a very pretty Rose, dis- 

 tinct from all other white Roses in its satiny tex- 

 ture. A very beautiful Rose and worthy' of a 

 place in every collection. 



Souvenir de Wootton. This superb 

 Rose is unquestionably one of the finest varieties 

 ever introduced for either summer or winter 

 blooming. The color is a beautiful shade of crim- 

 son, deliciously fragrant, a constant and most 

 prolific bloomer, every new T shoot forming a flower- 

 bud. 



Souvenir d'l'n Ami. A very free bloom- 

 ing light pink Rose and highly esteemed by a 

 great many. 



Sunset. This exquisite orange-yellow variety 

 is one of the finest Tea Roses grown. The flowers 

 are large and double. The exquisite shades of 

 coloring found in this variety can only be compared 

 to th« gorgeous colors of a summer sunset ; lienc* 

 the name. It is deliciously fragrant, a strong- 

 growing and free-flowering variety. 



The Bride. " The Bride " is a pure white 

 Rose of large size and most perfect form. This 

 variety has the most delicious Tea fragrance, and 

 is a strong-growing, free-blooming Rose either for 

 summer or winter flowering.
