FIVE CHOICE 



NEW TEA ROSES. 



Harry Kirk {Dickson & Sons, 1907). A splen- 

 did Rose, of most robust growth, with free-branch- 

 ing habit, flowering freely and continuously; the 

 blooms are large, full, with large, smooth petals of 

 great substance, the form is perfect, the buds long 

 and elegant. Color deep sulphur-yellow, passing 

 to a lighter shade at the edges of the petals. Dr. 

 Huey, the well-known Rosarian of Philadelphia, has 

 had several plants in his garden during the past 

 four seasons. These plants have not only proven 

 its free-flowering character, but its hardiness as 

 well, coming through the winters without injury. 

 In our judgment, it is by long odds the finest 

 everblooming Rose of its color yet intro= 

 duced. Awarded a Gold Medal by the National 

 Rose Society of England. Strong two-year-old 

 plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. ; §60.00 per 

 100. 



Hugo Roller ( Wm. Paul & Sons, 1908). De- 

 scribed by the introducers as follows: "A pictorial 

 flower of the most elegant combination of colors. 

 The ground color is rich lemon-yellow, the petals 

 being edged and suffused with crimson; flowers of 

 medium size, of good shape, and very freely pro- 

 duced throughout the season until late in autumn. 

 Growth vigorous. A most attractive novelty." In 

 our trial grounds during last summer this was one 

 of the most admired Tea Roses. Strong 2-year- 

 old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Miss Alice de Rothschild (Dickson & Sons, 

 1910). In color a rich deep citron yellow, which 

 intensifies as the bloom expands. The flowers are 

 very large, full and of perfect form, with high pointed 

 centre; the petals charmingly reflex. The growth 

 is vigorous, erect and free, continuous in blooming, deliciously 

 fragrant (Marechal Niel perfume); a superb Rose in every 

 respect; appropriately described by one grower as a bedding 

 Marechal Niel. Strong two-year-old plants, $2.50 each. 



Tea Rose, Harry Kirk. 



Chinese or Bengal Rose, Charlotte Klemm, 



Molly Sharman Crawford (Dickson & Sons, 1908). Creamy 

 white when first opening, becoming purer as the flowers ex- 

 pand; large, full, perfectly formed; delightfully fragrant and 

 lasting in good condition a long time. The blooms are car- 

 ried on long, erect stems, and are freely and continuously produced. A 

 splendid white Rose. Strong 2-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 

 Mrs. FoIey=Hobbs (Dickson & Sons, 1910). Beyond question the best Tea 

 Rose yet introduced, as it possesses in a marked degree every quality necessary 

 to constitute a perfect Rose. The growth is robust, every shoot being crowned 

 with a flower bud, which develops into a bloom of marvellous size, perfect 

 form and exquisite finish. It is a veritable giant among Teas; the smooth, 

 thick, shell-shaped petals creating a bloom of exceptional merit; color delicate 

 ivory-white, faintly tinged, clear pink on the edges of the petals, deliciously 

 tea-perfumed. Strong two-year-old plants, $2.50 each. 



One each of the above 5 New Tea Roses for $6.50. 



CHINESE OR BENGAL ROSES. 



An old favorite type which is as beautiful and sweet now as it was in the 

 gardens of half a century ago, and which deserves as great a popularity to-day 

 as it had in years past. Compared with other Roses the flowers as well as the 

 growth are small; but where an abundance of flowers is wanted they are un- 

 equalled, especially so as they will flourish under soil and climatic conditions in 

 which the high-bred varieties will not thrive; splendid for massing and hardy 

 with slight protection. 



Charlotte Klemm. Fiery red, shaded with cinnabar and blood-red, semi- 

 double, of medium size and of great brilliancy of color. 

 Comtesse de Cavla. Very distinct and rich in coloring, coppery carmine 



shaded with orange and yellow. 

 Hermosa. A well-known old favorite, bright double pink, always in bloom. 

 Queen Mab. Soft rosy apricot, the centre of the flowers shaded orange, the 



outside tinted with violet and rose. 

 Queen's Scarlet, or Agrippina. Bright crimson-scarlet, very free; an old 

 favorite. 

 Strong 2-year-old plants, 40 cents each; $4.00 per doz.; $30.00 per 100. 



OLD FAVORITE BOURBON ROSE. 



Souvenir de la Malmaison. A splendid old Rose, which produces large, 

 double, beautiful flowers throughout the season, of a rich flesh color. Strong 

 2-year-old plants, 40 cts. each; $4.00 per doz.; $30.00 per 100.
