HARDY ROSES FOR FALL PLANTING 
We have on the way, which will be ready for delivery October 15, a splendid lot of Roses, which, if 
planted this fall ought to give a good crop of bloom next season. We offer only a comparatively small number of 
sorts, but these are all high-class and fine contrasting varieties. 
“Well Known Gen. Jacqueminot.” 
The best, perhaps, of all Roses of the Hybrid Perpetual class. This grand old variety holds its own 
against all new-comers, and is undoubtedly the finest hardy Rose of its color. 
La France. Flowers 
large and beautiful, 
either in the bud form 
or when expanded ; 
peach-blossom color, 
shaded pink and sil- 
very rose. Itis free- 
blooming, every shoot 
forming a_ beautiful 
flower. In addition, 
it is hardy and most 
deliciously fragrant. 
Capt. Christy. Deli- 
cate flesh color, deep- 
ening in shade toward 
the center ; one of the 
most beautiful of the 
Rose family. The 
foliage is quite dis- 
tinct. It is very free 
in flowering, and, 
taken in all, may be 
considered one of our 
best Roses. 
Mme. Gabriel Luizet. 
Brilliant rose, a beau- 
tiful color. 
Alfred Colomb. Bright 
crimson, large full 
flowers. 
Dinsmore. This grand 
dark red Rose is en- 
tirely hardy and ever- 
blooming, unquestion- 
ably the finest in its 
class or color. This 
Rose, has been grow- 
ing steadily in popu- 
larity. 
Duke of Edinburgh. A splendid dark reddish crim- 
son Rose. In form and fragrance it is unsurpassed. 
One of the most prolific bloomers, flowering freely 
in the fall. 
Prairie Queen. A perfectly hardy Rose, and very 
prolific, covered with flowers, of satiny pink. 
Catharine Soupert. This is a grand Rose. The 
color is a French white, deepening to rosy blush in 
the center, exceeding in distinctness of shadings the 
well-known Malmaison. The form and substance 
of the flowers are so perfect that the hottest weather 
does not cause a deterioration of either, so that even 
in midsummer a bouquet of splendid buds and open 
flowers can be obtained from this fine variety. 
Hippolyte Jamain. Bright rose with carmine, striped 
white and light rose ; unlike most othe’s of this class. 
Mme. Gabriel Luizet. 
Brilliant rose, grand 
variety ; is a ‘‘ sport” 
from ‘‘La France,” 
and inherits all the 
grand qualities which 
have made its parent 
the favorite it is. 
The color is a deep, 
rich rose. 
Prince Camille de 
Rohan. Velvety 
crimson, very double, 
large petals. 
Cheshunt Hybrid. 
Cherry carmine, very 
free-blooming. 
Hermosa. Bright pink, 
a grand bedding Rose, 
and hardy with slight 
protection. 
Persian Yellow. Pure 
yellow, perfectly 
hardy and ever-bloom- 
ing; a strong, vigor- 
ous grower. Worthy 
of a place in every 
collection. 
Magna Charta. An 
exquisite shade of 
dark pink, deliciously 
fragrant and wonder- 
fully free-blooming 
properties. 
Prince Camille de 
Rohan. Large and 
full, perfect form and 
richest fragrance, 
dark crimson. 
‘Rosa Rugosa. (Japanese Rose). Rosy crimson 
flowers, followed by large, handsome, scarlet seed 
pods ; one of the finest hardy shrubs in cultivation. 
Price, for any of the above, 25 cents cach, $2.75 per doz. 
Hardy Climbing Roses. 
For outdoor planting. 
| Mme. Plantier. Pure white; a fine climbing Rose. 
Baltimore Belle. Magenta red; a vigorous grower 
and prolific bloomer. 
Gem of the Prairies. Large double flowers of a 
deep rosy crimson and very fragrant. 
25 cents each, set of 3 for 60 cents.
