Chinese or Bengal Rose, Charlotte Klemm 



New Hybrid China-Tea Rose. 



Titania. (Win. Paul & Son, 1916. ) A beautiful little bedding 

 variety of dwarf branching habit of growth, very profuse flow- 

 ering and especially remarkable for the rich and attractive 

 coloring of its flowers which are difficult to describe. The 

 buds are copper-crimson, changing as the flowers open to deep salmon-red 

 distincty shaded with clear yellow, forming altogether a most beautiful 

 blending of colors, the expanded flowers often assume a quilled form, 

 resembling a miniature Cactuz Dahlia. $2.50 each. 



THREE NEW TEA ROSES. 



Lady Plymouth. (Dickson & Sons, 1915). A most 

 distinct Rose of the "Souvenir de Pierre Notting" type, 

 whose pearly, delicate, but deep ivory-cream petals are 

 very faintly flushed, giving it a most piquant finish that is 

 difficult to describe. The blooms which are carried on 

 rigid stems are very large and full, and produced con- 

 tinuously. Awarded Gold Medal National Rose Society 

 of England, and Silver Medal for best Tea Rose at the 

 Crystal Palace, London. 



Mrs. Campbell Hall. (Dickson & Sons, 1915). Deli- 

 cate creamy-buff, edged or suffused rose-carmine, the centre of the flower a 

 warm cerise coral fawn. The flowers are of immense size, with petals of great 

 texture, which expand freely in all weathers; strongly and deliciously perfumed, 

 and very free. The flower that gained the Gold Medal of the National Rose 

 Society of England in 1913 was admittedly the finest individual blossom of any 

 Rose exhibited. 



Mrs. S. T. Wright. (Dickson & Sons, 1915). The fact that this is a sport from 

 Harry Kirk, with which it is identical except in color, will give it a welcome recep- 

 tion. In color the guard petals are of a delicate old gold, while the centre petals 

 are of an orange-chrome with rose suffusion. 



Price. Any of the above New Tea Roses in strong two-year-old plants, $1. 25 each, 

 or the set of 3 sorts for $3.00. 



HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSE 



"AMERICAN BEAUTY." 



We can supply this beautiful forcing Rose, but do not recommend it for 

 indoor culture. While it is undoubtedly one of the finest Roses when grown 

 under glass under the care of the specialist, it is, as a rule, worthless out of 

 doors, except in favored locations, and we only carry it in stock in the spring of 

 the year to supply customers who insist on trying it. Strong two-year-old 

 plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



HARDY BEDDING ROSE J. B. CLARK. 



This beautiful Rose, while introduced as a Hybrid-Tea, does not conform to 

 this or to the Hybrid Perpetual type; in fact, it seems as if though it should be 

 placed in a separate class. The plant is of very strong branching habit, with 

 large beautiful foliage, is perfectly hardy, and produces flowers of immense size 

 that attract great attention. These are full double, of an intense scarlet with 

 crimson shadings and are produced very freely during June. Strong two-year- 

 old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $40.00 per 100. 



CHINESE OR BENGAL ROSES. 



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

 dens 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 bloom 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 Cayla. \ ery distinct and rich in coloring, 

 coppery carmine shaded with orange and yellow. 

 Hermosa. A well-known old favorite double, bright pink; 

 always in bloom. 



Strong two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each; $4.00 per doz., 

 $30.00 per 100. One each of the 3 varieties for $1.00.
