NEW HARDY 

 EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, 



PREVAILING color, a beautiful shell-pink shading 

 1 in the centre to a soft rose-pink. The reverse of 

 the outer petals is of a creamy-flesh tint, shading to 

 silvery toward the base, which may best be described 

 as opalescent. The full, open flower discloses a vivid 

 richness of coloring, rare and fascinating. Strong 

 and healthy growth, with a rich glossy foliage, ram- 

 pant and vigorous, with a strong tendency to long 

 shoots; very prolific. Subtle, fragrance strongly tea 

 scented; reminds one of Bon Silene Rose. Large cup- 

 shaped flowers, heavy petals shell-like in formation

 each, $4.50 doz. ; 3d size, 25c. each, $2.25 doz. 



HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, 



SOUVENIR DU PRESIDENT CARNOT 



TTXQUESTIOXABLY the finest Rose of its color 

 ^ introduced in a decade. Whether considered 

 from the standpoint of the commercial cut-flower grow- 

 er or from its fitness for garden work, this Rose is with- 

 out a superior, and it is doubtful if it has an equal, 

 growth is vigorous, the foliage dark green and very hand- 

 some, but the glory of the variety is in its flower. It is very 

 large, both in the bud and in the expanded flower, double 

 to the centre, and opens beautifully. The coloring is nearer 

 like Devoniensis than any Rose on the market at the 

 present time, but it is lighter and approaches nearer to a 

 white. Technically described, it could be called a rosv-flcsh, 

 very soft in the centre, and shaded with a lighter flesh at 

 the end of the petals. The bud is as long as Niphetos, but 

 not quite so pointed, and is very much fuller at the base. 

 It has taken front rank already in the metropolis.

 $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, SI. 50 per doz. 



HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, 



MRS. THEODORE ROOSEVEItT 



'^T'HIS beautiful Rose was shown on the colored 

 1^ plate last year. It is a seedling of " La France," 

 much stronger in growth and has a better con- 

 stitution. The freedom of bloom is remarkable; 

 small plants begin blooming at once and produce 

 flowers in continuous succession throughout the season. 

 The buds are full, long and pointed; the open flowers 

 never show a centre and remain fresh and pleasing 

 for a remarkably long time. The color is creamy- 

 white with pink "shadings in the depths of the petals, 

 the coloring being pronounced in the centre. It is 

 a grand Rose for the garden ; its freedom of bloom and 

 magnificent flowers render it extremely valuable. It 

 is deliciously fragrant. (See cut.) 



Price, 1st size, 60c. each, S6.C0 per doz.; 2d size, 40c. 

 each, S4.00 per doz.; 3d size, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.
