Hoosier Beauty 



Laurent Carle 



EVERBLOOMING ROSES — SHADES OF RED, continued 



*HOOSIER BEAUTY H.T. (Illustrated above.) Primarily a greenhouse 

 variety that escaped into the garden, but somehow does not find general conditions 

 always to its liking. Not a prolific bloomer and sometimes sulky in growth, but it 

 has its periods of good humor when it gives enchantingly fine flowers of dusky 

 velvety red, perfect form, and fairly double. The pointed buds, on long stems, are 

 best when cut early when they will last long in the house and deliciously perfume 

 the rooms. A Rose to love when it is on its good behavior. SI each. 



*H. V. MACHIN. H.T. This Rose 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. The open Rose is fully 

 double, but quite loose in the center and much brighter than the bud. It is not 

 very fragrant. The color is apt to "blue" because the blooms last longer than most 

 H.T.'s. The flowers come in crops, two or three times a season. This Rose is 

 very close to the Hybrid Perpetuals, which it resembles in foHage, bloom, and 

 hardiness, but does not grow so tall. A Rose with certain faihngs, but too beautiful 

 to miss. N. R. S. Gold Medal, 1913. SI each. 



•JOHN RUSSELL. H.T. Illustrated and described on page 40. 



*K. OF K. (Kitchener of Khartoum). H.T. This brilliant Rose was named for 

 the late Lord Kitchener of England. The color is a striking, intense brilhant 

 scarlet, with a velvety sheen, making it stand out like a beauty-spot in a garden. 

 The large and single flowers come in masses almost continuously all summer. 

 Unusuafly hardy; very vigorous, but the foliage is rather small and scanty. Fine 

 when massed. SI each. 



•LAURENT CARLE. H.T. (Iflustrated above.) The massive glowing crim- 

 son blooms of this fine Rose are among the largest of all red Hybrid Teas. The 

 buds are sohd, very dark, and open slowly to big, bold blooms of finest form, with 

 broad, deep petals of great substance. Its high-built, pointed center can only be 

 equaled by Hybrid Perpetuals. The wide-open flower is unusually pleasing in 

 shape, and holds its color. Fragrance is strong and well retained until the petals 

 faH. It is a dependable bloomer, and even in the hottest weather wiH produce 

 fine blooms, but not in any great quantity at one time. $1 each. 



•LIEUTENANT CHAURE. H.T. Not a sturdy grower, but a splendid bedder, 

 always busy. The flower is crimson, shaded with garnet of great depth. Lovely 

 buds and fairly large cupped blooms, moderately fragrant. Stands heat unusually 

 well. Good foliage; average hardiness. $1 each.
