ALSACE. ^^°' ^'^ '^^^ trusses, upon opening, are of a delicate

SIR TREVOR LAW= 



RENCE. (^«- 9-) Tlie col- 

 or when the flow- 

 ers first open is a beautiful 

 shade of soft carmine-rose, 

 chaTiging in a short time to 

 a delicate shade of rosy pink 

 rarely seen in any other race 

 of flowers. Around the en- 

 tire flower, but broader at 

 the ends of the petals, is a 

 distinct border of briglit yel- 

 low. Heiglit, 4 to 5 feet, 

 green foliage. Price, 40c. 

 each, S4.00 per doz. 



DUKE OF MARLBOR= 

 OUGrl. (^°- ^"■) '^'I's is 



decidedly the dark- 

 est and richest colored Can- 

 na in existence. The flow- 

 ers are a deep, rich crimson- 

 maroon witli a velvety ap- 

 pearance and good sub- 

 stance, the almost black 

 buds and very close head 

 giving it a still darker look. 

 Grows about 4 feet high, very 

 dark green foliage. Price, 

 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



DEFENDER. (f« " ) 



Clear rich 

 yellow, striped with bright 

 scarlet; 3 to 3}^ feet high. 

 An early and very profuse 

 bloomer, producing fine, 

 large heads of broad-petaled 

 flowers. This is the best of 

 the spotted and splashed 

 varieties we have. Price, 

 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



ROOSE= 



(No. 12.) This is 

 the gem of the col- 

 lection. An entirely new and 

 distinct variety. Instead of 

 being mottled or spotted like 

 all other variegated sorts, it 

 is .<itriped. The variation in the striping is remarkable in the 

 highest degree. In some petals the coloring matter runs in even 

 bands t>f red and yellow, others on the same stem will be all red, 

 some flowers will be entirely red, and even some spikes will have 

 only a small proportion of yellow coloring while the others on the 

 same plant will show remarkable variegation. The red stripe^on 

 the face of the petals are generally backed by yellow and the yel- 

 low by red. In rare cases there may be plants that tor a time may 

 not show an.v variegation. Height, 3 feet; green foliage. Price, 

 50c. each, S4.50 per doz. (Offered last year at $1.50 each.)
