WINTER AND SPRING FLOWERING BULBS AND PLANTS 



19 



Crimson Queen 



Hybrid Tea. Owing to its rich 

 coloring this is a wonderful garden 

 or bedding Rose. There is no color 

 that produces the show that a good 

 crimson does. The color is a rich, 

 bright, velvety crimson. A strong, 

 vigorous, upright grower ; flowers 

 large and full, a great garden Rose 

 as it is always in bloom ; extremely 

 hardy and produces a magnificent 

 bush in a short time, hardy every- 

 where. 

 DEAN HOLE. — Silvery carmine 



Roses with salmon shadings. The 



coloring is distinct and unique; a 



handsome tribute to the eminent 



Rosarian whose name it bears. 

 EDGAR M. BURNETT.— Very large, 



full flowers of splendid form, with 



large flesh- 

 colored 

 petals tinted 

 rose ; a n 

 advance on 

 the type of 

 Rose of 

 which the 

 b e a utif ul 

 Alice Stan- 

 ley is a rep- 

 resentativ e ; 

 one of the 



sweetest scented Roses in existence. Awarded gold 

 medal, National Rose Society of England. 



ETOILE DE FRANCE.— One of the best and sweetest 

 hardy Hybrid Tea Roses of its color. The strong, 

 upright bushes have beautiful bronze-green foliage, 

 which is not subject to insect attacks. The bushes 

 are blooming constantly, producing large, massive, 

 deep, full cup-formed flowers on magnificent, long, 

 stiff stems. They are of truly glorious form and 

 delightful fragrance, while the color is exquisite^ 

 a clear red of velvety crimson.. 



MRS. AARON WARD. — One of the newest of all Yel- 

 low Hybrid Tea Roses, and distinctly beautiful in 

 form and color. The color ranges from coppery- 

 orange in the opening bud, changing to a golden- 

 orange, and when the fiower is fully open it is a 

 lovely shade of pinkish fawn. Most vigorous in 

 growth, every shoot producing a flower and clothed 

 with dark, glossy green foliage, maroon on under 

 side. It is one of the best of the new yellow Roses 

 and has become very popular. 



MADAME SEGOND WEBER.— One of the most beau- 

 tiful Roses of recent introduction. The long, pointed 

 buds are pink or salmon-flesh and when fully ex- 

 panded are immense in size, full and double ; as 

 the flower opens it deepens until it fairly glows with 

 its warm, deep pink. Highly fragrant. Very hardy 

 and constantly in bloom. 



METEOR. — Very few dark Roses compare with this 

 in richness and depth in color, which is a rich, 

 velvety crimson, shading very dark in the depths 

 of the petals. As a garden Rose it has few equals, 

 being particularly valuable for bedding on account 

 of its sturdy growth and handsome foliage. 



SUNBURST. — A magnificent giant yellow forcing 

 Rose, also well adapted for outdoor growing, being 

 a vigorous and healthy Rose. Buds long and 

 pointed, borne singly on long, stout stems, opening 

 full and double. An excellent cut flower variety, j 

 having excellent keeping qualities. A very vigorous ' 

 grower, reddish bronze foliage. The color is superb 

 orange copper or golden orange, with a deep orange | 

 center. This Rose creates a sensation wherever 



• grown. 



HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 

 The Lovely "Crimson Queen" 



Ophelia* 



OPHELIA. — The color is one so difficult to describe 

 that any description can only be a partial one, and 

 gives but a faint idea of the superb beauty and 

 richness of the shades. Salmon-flesh, shaded with 

 rose. Buds of unusual attractiveness, opening full 

 and double. Habit excellent, growth strong, produces 

 flowers on long stems, well up above the foliage, 

 and in great profusion all summer. Hardy in almost 

 all localities. Grand for forcing or outdoors. 

 VIRGINIA R, COXE (or Gruss an Teplitz).— For in- 

 tense and dazzling color there is no other Rose to 

 compare with this splendid kind. The flowers are 

 large and handsome, moderately double, of splendid 

 substance, and are produced in amazing profusion 

 during the whole of the growing season ; in fact, it 

 is always in bloom. The color is fiery crimson, 

 shaded with a dark velvety sheen, a combination 

 found in no other Rose. 



The fragrance of Virginia R. Coxe is unexcelled 

 by that of any other variety under cultivation. It 

 is a strong and sturdy grower, often attaining a 

 height of four to five feet, is perfectly hardy in all 

 sections and is one of the finest of the many splendid 

 Roses that have come to us from Europe, and has 

 won friends wherever grown here in America, which 

 is attested to by the fact that the demand increases 

 each season. 

 HELENA CAMBIER. — Of unusual beauty, with large, 

 double, beautifully formed flower, the colors are 

 varying, ranging from salmon-rose to coppery-rose ; 

 very often a handsome saffron hue. As the flowers 

 expand the colors become lighter. A most remark- 

 able sort in every respect and one to which we give 

 our highest endorsement. Good everywhere.
