WINTER AND SPRING FLOWERING BULBS AND PLANTS

TEA ROSES— Con. 



The Bride 



There is no other white Rose more satisfactory 



than The Bride. When planted in the open ground, 



the flowers are sometimes found to be delicately 



tinted with pink, making it exceedingly attractive. 



The buds and flowers are unusually large, well 



formed and deliciously perfumed. 



Bridesmaid. This variety is valuable for cutting 

 and does finely in the open ground; a sport from 

 the old and popular Pink Tea, Catherine Mermet, 

 but of a fine, clear dark pink, much deeper and 

 more constant in color, than Mermet. The 

 bush is a strong, sturdy grower, bearing all 

 summer a profusion of dainty, beautiful flowers. 



Marie Van Houtte. It is a strong and sturdy 

 grower, blooming constantly, with great freedom. 

 The color of the flowers, which are large, fxill and 

 double, is pale canary-yellow, passing to rich, 

 creamy white shaded with pale rose. 



Marie Guiiiot. "We recommend it as one of the 

 most reliable white Tea. 



Marie Lambert, or Snowflake. Large, double, 

 creamy white flowers are produced in marvelous 

 profusion. It is unusually hardy and grows 

 vigorously. The foliage is very substantial, of 

 attractive dark green color and practically free 

 from disease.

 rosy bronze, changing to salmon and fawn, tinted 

 with carmine. 



Mrs. B. R. Cant. Strong growing variety, pro- 

 ducing heavy stems, with large, healthy foliage

 Gould, but more double; deep rose, with silvery 

 rose center.

 beautifully formed flowers of rich golden yellow; 

 extremely hardy.

 globular flowers in large clusters; a vigorous 

 grower. Color creamy white, tinged with buff

Bl u mensch midt. A splendid bedding Rose of 

 the Cochet type, glowing all summer with its 

 wealth of citron-yellow flowers, each petal of 

 which is edged with dainty rose. The individual 

 flowers are large and well formed, resembling in 

 many ways some of the handsomest Tea Roses. 



Cornelia Cook. The flowers are borne in great 

 profusion and are very desirable. The color is 

 pure creamy white, tinged with lemon and blush. 



Lady Plymouth. A Rose similar to Souv. de 

 Pierre Notting, which means a handsome bud and 

 full, double bloom of large size. Color is delicate 

 pearly but deep ivory cream, faintly flushed.

 with fine, large, bright green foliage, edged with 

 red — almost disease and insect proof. Color a soft 

 blending of salmon-pink, rose-pink, and flesh 

 tints.
