Select Tea Roses 



Tea Roses have always been admired for their delicious fragrance and 

 for their delicacy of coloring, but many of the varieties have now been 

 superseded by the Hybrid-Tea class. 



Harry Kirk. A splendid Rose of free-branching habit, flowering con- 

 tinuously; the blooms are large, of great substance; the form is perfect, 

 the buds long and elegant; color sulphur-yellow, passing to a lighter 

 shade at the edges of the petals. $1.00 each. 



Lady Hillingdon. A beautiful coppery apricot-yellow, beautiful in the 

 bud; a strong grower and very free-flowering. $1.00 each. 



IVIaman Cochet. An extra strong grower, producing its large buds and 

 flowers in the greatest profusion; color deep rose-pink; very double and 

 exquisite in bud, or when full-blown. 75 cts. each. 



White Maman Cochet. Identical to the above except in color which is 

 a creamy white. 75 cts. each. 



William R. Smith. One of our best bedding Roses; flowers large, of 



elegant form; creamy-white with light rose shadings. 75 cts. each. 



One each of the above five Tea Roses for $4.00. 



Lord Penzance's 

 Hybrid Sweet Brier Roses 



These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common Sweet Brier and 

 various other Roses, and like their parent, the foliage is deliciously scented . 

 Perfectly hardy. For best effect should be grown as pillar Roses. 



Amy Robsart. Splendid deep rose color. 



Anne of Geirstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 



Bradwardine. Clear pink flowers of fine form. 



Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper with metallic lustre, 

 the base of each petal is yellow. 



Price. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each. 



Tea Rose. I.ahy Hillingdon 



Austrian and Hybrid Brier Roses 



Austrian Copper. Bright coppery-red, reverse of petals golden 



yellow. 

 Beaute de Lyon. Forms a large, globular flower of splendid 



shape, of a coral-red color shaded with yellow. 

 Harrison's Yellow. Fine double golden-yellow flowers. 

 Juliet. Outside of petals old gold, interior rich rosy-red changing 



to deep rose as the flowers expand; of delicious fragrance. 

 Persian Yellow. Medium sized deep yellow double flowers, 



very hardy; to flower freely should receive little or no pruning. 

 Price. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each. 



Moss Roses 



The beauty of the Moss Rose consists in the delicate mossy 

 covering which surrounds the buds. Moss Roses should be pruned 

 sparingly; cut out the old wood and merely cut back the growth 

 of last year. 



Blanche Moreau. Large pure white. 

 Crested Moss. Rose color, beautifully crested. 

 Henry Martin. Fine crimson, very vigorous. 

 Princess Adelaide. Bright silvery rose, large. 

 Salet. Large, full double, light rose. 



Extra strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each.

Hybrid Rugosa Rose 



F. J. Grootendorst. This might properly be called a Rugosa 

 Baby Rambler, it being a cross between Rugosa and the crimson 

 Baby Rambler. Imagine a shrub-like Rugosa Rose covered 

 with trusses of crimson Baby Rambler Roses and you will have a 

 fair conception of this new hybrid variety. It is not a Rose 

 that you want to plant in with your bed of Hybrid-Tea or Hybrid 

 Perpetual Roses, but is valuable to plant as an isolated specimen 

 or in a mass in a bed in an exposed position or in the shrubbery 

 border or use it for an everblooming hedge for which purpose 

 it is admirably adapted. It is absolutely hardy and continues 

 in bloom until late in the fall. 



Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; 

 $75.00 per 100. 



Ramanas or Rugosa Roses 



These lovely Roses are absolutely hardy and form sturdy bushes 

 4 to 6 feet in height, covered with handsome crinkled flowers. The 

 single sorts flower almost continuously, and are equally as attrac- 

 tive during the autumn and winter when covered with their large 

 brilliant red seedpods. Of healthy, vigorous growth and equally 

 desirable alike as single specimens, particularly among shrubs or 

 for making a hedge. Rugosa Roses require no pruning, merely cut 

 out dead and superfluous wood. 



Rugosa. Single rosy-carmine. 



— Alba. Single pure white. 



Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. Large double clear silvery rose. 



Blanc Double de Coubert. Fine double pure white. 



Hansa. Attractive double reddish violet. 



Sir Thomas Lipton. Exceptionally strong grower with very 



large double white flowers. 

 Nova Zembla. A hybrid variety; the double flowers are large, 



of fine form, white, with a pleasing flush of pink. 

 Price. Any of the above varieties, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; 



$60.00 per 100. 



Rosa Hugonis 



This species, from China, is unlike any other Rose. It is of 

 shrub-like habit of growth and naturally forms symmetrical bushes 

 about 6 feet high, and the same in diameter, and while not suited to 

 plant in the Rose border, it is an invaluable subject when planted 

 in connection with other shrubs or as single specimens in the garden. 



Its delicate yellow single flowers are produced on long arching 

 sprays early in May, every branch of the previous season's growth 

 becomes lined on both sides to the very tips with these attractive 

 flowers, and after it has finished flowering it remains an attractive 

 decorative bush for the balance of the season; perfectly hardy. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each. 



Rosa Moyesi 



A strikingly beautiful species, similar in habit of growth to 

 Rosa Hugonis but growing from 6 to 10 feet high with attractive, 

 brilliant, single, deep blood-red flowers, in June. $1.00 each.
