New White Hybrid Perpetual Rose 

 FRAU KARL DRUSCHKE. 



This new liardy Rose is of German origin, and was first dissemina- 

 led in 1900, and lias since w on many pnzes and made many friends. 

 It appears to be liie ideal hardy white Rose. Its flowers, which 

 are very large, are perlect in iorni and snow-white in color, with large 

 shell-shaped petals, forming a beautiful flower. The plant is a strong, 

 vigorous, healthy grower. Strong imported 2-year-old^ plants, 75

 unusually large double crimson flowers, shaded maroon. A strong, 

 vioorous giower, with large bright foliage and exceedingly hardy. 

 .Strong 2-year-old plants, 60 cts each. 



New Hardy Everblooming Rose NEW CENTURY.

 disease and insects; a cross between Clothilda Soupeit and Rugosa 

 Alba, and flowers at short intervals throughout the slimmer and fall, 

 and is perfectly hardy. The flowers are from 3 to 4 inches across, 

 full and double, and borne in good clusters; the color is l^right rosy-

New Hardj' Climbing Rose 



CEIMBING CEOTHILOE SOUPERT. 



Among bedding Roses Clolhilde Soupert has long held the premier 

 ]iosition, and in this new variety we have a counterpart of this popular 

 Rose, but of a slrong. vigorous, climbing habit. In color it is identi- 

 cal to the parent — French-white with rosy centre — but somewhat 

 larger in size. Its strong constitution, vigorous, healthy growth and 

 free-blooming qualities should make this one of the most po]3ular 

 hardy climbers. Slrong 2-year-old plants, 40 cts. each; $400 per 

 doz Young plants, 15 cts. each; §150 per doz. 



New Forcing Rose LIBERTY. 



Undoubtedly the finest crimson winter-forcing Rose of modern times, and a grand addition to the Hybrid Tea class. In color 

 it is a warm, rich crimson-scarlet, and surpasses its rival — the vi'ell-known 

 Meteor — in abundance of bloom, size and color, never showing the slightest 

 tendency to blacken, wdiich is so characteristic of Meteor, and most of all by its 

 exquisite fragrance, a quantity altogether wanting in Meteor. Strong 2-year- 

 old plants, 50 cts. each ; $o 00 per doz.; young plants, 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per 

 doz. 



New Tea Rose IVORY. 



A most important addition to our list of Roses for cut flower purposes, as 

 well as for outdoor bedding. It is a " sport " from Golden Gate, which to-day 

 is probably the freest-flowering Rose of its type in cultivation, but which un- 

 fortunately lacks in decided color, on which account it has never met wd'h 

 much popularity. The variety now offered embodies all of the good points of 

 its parent, size, freedom of bloom, strong, vigorous, heathy growth, with a 

 pure white color, which makes it an invaluable acquisition. Two-year-old 

 plants, 40 cts. each; $4 00 per doz. Good young plants, I.t cts. each; $1.50 

 per doz. 



THREE GOOD BEDDING ROSES. 



Everybody is familiar with the three old favorites offered below, and where 

 a mass of flowers is wanted nothing can excel them. They are useful as single 

 specimens in the border, but especially valuable for massing in solid beds, 

 either each variety in a separate bed or a combination of the three, planting 

 Hermosa in the centre, then Queen's Scarlet, and edging the whole with 

 Clothilde Soupert. A bed of this kind will be a mass of flowers from sjiring 

 until late in October, and a slight protection of leaves or litter will carry them 

 safely through the winter. 



Clothilde Soupert. Color French-white, deepening to rosy-blush in the 

 centre. 



Hermosa. Bright rich pink. 



Queen's Scarlet. Bright crimson-scarlet. 



Extra strong plants, in .5-inch pots 40 cts. each; $4.00 per doz.; $3000 per 100.
