The Soupert Trio of 

 Hardy Everblooming Polyantha Roses. 



"Whether grown in pots or in the open ground, the Soupert Roses can be depended 

 apon to produce an endless supply of flowers throughout ttie year. 



CLOTHILDE SOUPERT.— One of the most prolific blooming Roses; blooms nearly all 

 the time producing cluster after cluster of large, handsomely made flowers, until the 

 bush, as it grows larger, is literally loaded down with flowers. The color is white, 

 with centre of flower a lovely, warm, pink shade. This is the Rose for the millions. 

 15 cents each; 2 for 25 cents. 



YELLOW SOUPERT.— While no' a yellow rose, the general effect of the blending of 

 the colors in this, is such as to make it appear as a yellow rose at a short distance. It 

 is probably the finest Polyantha Rose yet introduced, and is a fitting companion to 

 that very popular and useful variety, Clothilde Soupert. The habit of the growth is the 

 same, while the flowers are white at the edge and chrome yellow in the centre. It is 

 perfectly hardy, having withstood in the open ground a temperature of ten degrees be- 

 low zero. 15 cents each; 2 for 25 cents. 



PIiNK SOUPERT.— A seedling from that premier bedding rose, Clothilde Soupert, 

 inheriting all the grand garden qualities of its parent, and is a clear pink throughout, 

 bright and attractive; the coloring deepens in some flowers to cherry red, and in others it les- 

 sens to light, clear pink. The profusion of bloom is wonderful, the whole plant being a mass of 

 flowers. No rose can possibly excel this for outdoor bedding, and none can be more attractive 

 It is compact and sturdy in habit, and so hardy for an everblooming rose that it will remain 

 out all winter safely without protection. 15 cents each; 2 for 25 cents.

4 New Hardy Rambler Roses. 



Crimson Rambler. 



This new rose possesses more good 

 qualities than any variety ever in- 

 roduced. It is of vigorous growth, making shoots from 8 to 10 feet 

 a height during a season; and is consequently, a most desirable 

 limbing variety. When pegged down or grown as a bush, marvel- 

 us heads of bloom are the result. It is exceedingly hardy. As a pot 

 I lant it is unequaled for decorative purposes. The flower* with 

 ■hich the plant is covered in the spring, are produced In large 

 russes of pyramidal form and of the brightest crimson color. The 

 looms remain on the plant for a great length of time without losing 

 aeir brightness. The foliage is also retained to a great extent during 

 le winter, making the plant almost an evergreen. Do not fail to In- 

 lude this, when ordering. 15 cents each; 2 for 25 cents. 



Vf»llnvi/ l?siml-»lA»* The only perfectly hardy yellow CUmb- 

 I ClIUYV IVdlllUlCI. ing Rose in cultivation, producing its 

 owers in the same manner as the popular Crimson Rambler— that 

 1, in large, pyramidal-shaped trusses, frequently being from fifty to 

 ne hundred flowers in a truss. In color it is a decided yellow, with 

 loderate sized, cup-shaped, nearly full flowers, which are sweetly 

 ;ented. Its habit of growth is very strong, frequently making 

 aoots of eight to ten feet in one season. 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents.

 A'enty-five to thirty feet. The flowers are borne in clusters, as many * 

 s sixty being frequently found in a single cluster; they are deep, 

 ink, quite full and exceedingly fragrant. In hardiness, freedom of 

 loom, form and color of flower, and vigorous climbing habit, this 

 ariety is fully the equalof Crimson Rambler. A magnificent effect 

 an be had by grouping the White, Yellow and Pink Ramblers with 

 rimson Ramblers. 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents. 



Wlii+ia Oiit-ril^lia** Beyond question the highest type of a 

 VVIIILC K.ctIllUICr. hardy, white cUiiibing rose yet Intro- 

 uced. The flowers are produced in splendid large clusters, after the 



Mme fashion as Crimson Rambler, having the same di.stinct pyrami- 

 al form found in no other rose but the Rambler family. The color 

 I pure white without a blemish. They remain on the bush from 

 iree to five weeks, and a well established plant is a sight to behold, 

 he habit of growth is vigorous, young plants throwing up shoots 8 

 ) 10 feet in height in a single season. 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents.
