• STAMMLER. II.P. Pink. A new, pink, cvcr- 

 blooniing ll\bricl Perpetual with slightly cupped, 

 fully double pink flowers. Pleasing perfume. Plants 

 make about 4-foot canes, literally hidden behind the 

 first mass of bloom in June. Difi'erent. $2.50 each. 



•VANGUARD. 11. Rug. Orange-salmon and cop- 

 per. This splendid new hybrid is the work of G. A. 

 Stevens, and is one of the most important of the 

 Rugosa Hybrids. Very vigorous, and will make a 

 large shrub or pillar with 8- to lO-foot canes. Its foliage 

 is large, dark green, and very beautifully varnished. 

 The large, fragrant flowers are very much like 

 those of Miss Lolita Armour in both form and color, 

 which is orange-salmon and copper. This extremely 

 hardy Rose is strongly recommended , for r!orthern 

 climates and is suitable for planting among shrubs 

 or for tall lawn specimens. A beautiful, decorative 

 plant, even when not in bloom. $1.50 each.

 everblooniing ligiit \ellow class. Buds are long, 

 tapered, and richly colored with copper at the base,

 open, fragrant bloom has large, upright, shell-like 

 petals that recurve slightly but do not flatten out 

 until ready to drop. $2 each. 



• OSWALD SIEPER. H.T. White. We feel safe 



in saying that, apparently, this is the finest white 

 Hybrid Tea Rose to date. Nicely formed buds of 

 pale cream open to big, loose, double flowers of 

 creamy white. Rich Tea fragrance. Average 

 growth with good foliage. $2.50 each.

 H.T. Yellow. This new yellow Rose 

 has been consistently good. The plant

 long-pointed buds are chrome-yellow, 

 heavily marked with carmine; the 

 open flower is rich dafTodil-jellow

I want to tell you about the Roses bought of you this 

 spring. AH the years I have grown Roses I never have had 

 such beautiful ones. They have been a mass of bloom, and 

 are now coming on with the second set of buds. I can pick 

 Roses every day. — Mrs. G. W. B., Muncie, Ind.
