NEW ROSE. MADAME CAROLINE TESTOUT. % SIZE PHOTOGRAPH. 



BIAI>AME CAROLINE TESTOUT. A new Hybrid 

 Tea; will take equal rank with La France, and lias the same 

 form, but the color is a deep satiny rose, with a brilliant pink 

 centre. We quote the followinR; description of this beauti- 

 ful rose from the address of Wr. Ernest Asmus to the 

 Society of American Florists: "Here is a rose which 1 

 think the best Hybrid Tea up to date. It is clear pink in 

 color — there is nothing in the rose line that can approach it 

 in color, and the flower is as large as Baroness Rothschild, 

 and as free as La France, and, if my judgment is not 

 mistaken, it will make a sensation in the cut-flower market 

 when brought in in good shape." 20c. each; 3 for 50c. 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA TICTOKIA. It gives us 

 real pleasure to offer this magnificent new Hybrid Tea Kose. 

 It is a royal rose and should be found in every rose garden. 

 It has magnificent buds, very double, perfectly formed, full 

 flowers; is a continuous bloomer; has a delicate fragrance, 

 and can be cut with long stems. It con>bines all the good 

 qualities of the Tea Rose, and is an ea.sy winner over all 

 competitors of its c!a.ss. The buds are beautifully formed 

 with large petals of a thick and heavy texture, and show no 

 centre when fully opened. Color pure white, shaded in the 

 centre of the fully expanded flower with pale lemon- 

 yellow. The habit of growth is strong and vigorous, every 

 new branch ha^^ng a lovely flower. We offer it at the low 

 price of 20c. each; 3 for 30c. 



SOUV. DE LADY ASHeWt^ON. The flowers of 

 this superb rose are exceedingly large and full, and of 

 round, handsome form ; the color is somewhat variable, but 

 always very beautiful, and can perhaps be best described 

 as aline shade of rich coppery-red, delicately suffused with 

 pale orange-yellow ; reverse of petals fine rosy-fawn color. 

 It is highly scented with the true Tea Rose fragrance, 

 heightened or intensified, as the French description says, 

 with the delicate perfume of peaches and apricots. 15c. 

 each; 4 for 50c. 



MADAME ELIE LAMBERT. Fine, large, full 

 double flower, globular and cup-shaped ; the outer petals 

 pure white, the centre of a beautiful rosy flesh color, often 

 changing to deep rosy carmine; very distinct and fine. 

 Plant a vigorous grower and -emarkabiy free in bloom ; ,a 

 decided novelty in color, and one that will be sure to please. 

 15c. each; 4 for 50c. 



AMERICAN BELEE. A colored sport from the 

 American Beauty, but distinct from it in both flower and 

 foliage. The color of the flower is a deep, clear pink, with- 

 out the slightest tinge of blue as in (he "Beauty," but the 

 tint grows deeper with age. It possesses the same large size 

 and delightful fragrance as the "Beauty." The "Belle" has 

 carried oft' first honors at New York, Philadelphia, Boston, 

 Chicago and wherever shown. Each, '20c., 3 for 50c. 



NEW CRIMSON BEDDING ROSE. 



"Marion Dingee." 



This fine rose originated with Mr. Cook, of Baltimore, 

 who considers it his most valuable variety. It is a strong,, 

 vigorous grower, making a handsome, well-balanced plant, 

 with large, thick, deep green leaves; the flowers are large, 

 beautifully cup-shaped, moderately full and borne in 

 wonderful prolusion. They are borne nearly upright on 

 long straight stems, and are of excellent sub.stance^ having 

 thick leatliery petals, which hold their form and color for a 

 longtime; the color is deep brilliant crimson; one of the 

 darkest, if not the very darkest and richest colored Tea 

 Roses we have. 20c. each; 3 for 50e. 



NEW WHITE BEDDING ROSE. 



"Clothilde Soupert." 



The color is a French white, deepening to rosy blush \n 

 the centre, exceeding in distinctness of shadings the well- 

 known Malmaison. Its greatest value lies in its compact, 

 vigorous habit and wonderful profusion of bloom, even the 

 smiillest plants being literally covered with flowens. 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. Too. 

 much cannot be said in praise of this rose for bedding 

 purposes. Valuable as it is for garden purposes, it is even 

 more so for pot culture, and ranks as first for blooming in 

 the dwelling-house. Price, 15c. each; 4 for 50c. 



THE QUEEN. A large, pure white, free-blooming 

 Tea Rose, the offspring of that fine old rose, the Souv. d'nn 

 Amie, whose many good qualities it possesses to a remark- 

 able degree. It is a continuous bloomer, ■producing successive 

 crops of buds and flouers in grcal profusion. The buds are- 

 beautifully formed, with large petals of good substance; 

 color pure snowy white ; exquisitely scented. A spleiidid 

 pot rose. 15e. each; 4 for 50c.
