*ETOILE DE FRANCE. A sparkling 
red Rose of happy _ disposition, 
making a bright spot of color in the 
garden almost every day all summer 
long. Unsurpassed in its_ rich 
fragrance and continued bloom. 
The buds are shapely, the flowers 
medium in size, unusually double, § 
and of informal shape when fully 
open. The bright color lasts long, 
but unfavorable weather sometimes 
prevents the buds from opening 
* FRANCIS SCOTT KEY. A jolly 
big Rose, chockfull of broad 
curled petals, with great round 
buds on tall strong stems—a 
Rose to love and cherish in 
these days of so many loose- 
petaled semi-double varieties. 
Its bright crimson color some- 
times ‘‘blues,’’ and its buds 
fail to open well in hot weather, 
but it is worth while waiting for 
perfect blooms whose massive beauty 
command admiration, especially in 
autumn. 
%FRIEDRICHSRUH. A most attrac- 
tive, deep red garden Rose. It 
blooms profusely and the ox-bood- 
red flowers darken as they become 
older. The open bjooms are full to 
the center, pungently fragrant, and 
the stems are almost thornless. 
Fine for cutting. Price, $2 each.

carmine, darker than pink but not quite crim- friendly of all roses! A great big lusty fellow, 
son. The well-formed buds open slowly into always nodding “howdy-do” with bunches of 
big sweet-scented flowers which hold their color red posies. Too big for planting among the 
well. The bush is vigorous, quite hardy, and other Hybrid Teas, it needs a place by itself

%* HOOSIER BEAUTY. Big, torch-like blooms of 
dusky red, opening from glowing slender buds; 
quite double, with wide-spreading butterfly 
petals surrounding an exquisite center. A Rose 
of American origin whose rare beauty is un- 
surpassed in its color. N.R.S. Gold Medal. 
% PADRE. (New.) A Mme. Edouard Herriot of 
improved form and even more brilliant color— 
intense orange-red. A tall-growing Rose, anda 
very free bloomer; foliage quite healthy. Cut 
when in bud. $1.50 each. 
makes a hearty splash of bright, true red, with 
brave flowers firmly set on sturdy stems. The 
large buds are very dark, and remain in the 
lovely half-open state for several days; they 
also sometimes ball. The open Rose is fully 
double, but quite loose in the center and much 
brighter than the bud, and is not very fragrant. 
The color is apt to “‘blue.’”’ This Rose is very 
close to the Hybrid Perpetuals, which it 
resembles in vigor, but does not grow so tall. 
A Rose with certain failings, but too beautiful 
to miss; especially effective in masses. N. R.S. 
Gold Medal.

on front cover and offered on page 2.
