ROSES FOR FORCING. 
The following is a select list of the most popular forcing varieties. We wish to especially impress upon our patrons the im- 
portance of early planting. Many, if not most, failures are caused through late planting, when the roots have not sufficient time 
to establish themselves before the plants are expected to produce a crop of bloom. 
Liberty. Undoubtedly the finest crimson 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 well-known Meteor—in abundance of bloom, 
size and color, never showing the slightest tendency to 
blacken, which is so characteristic of Meteor, and most of 
all by its exquisite fragrance, a quantity altogether wanting 
in Meteor. 
This Rose is particularly welcomed by the floral artist by 
reason of the unique richness and durability of its color, 
which, combined with its fragrance, fills a gap long vacant in 
this shade. 
American Beauty. 
The habit of the plant is simply perfection, throwing up 
strong, stout stems from the base of the plant; furnished 
with a wealth of fine foliage, it is constitutionally strong, 
which, with its tendency to sucker, insures continuity of 
bloom. We unhesitatingly predict a great future for 
* Liberty,” as it has been thoroughly tested by the intro- 
ducers, who are among the most expert and accomplished 
growers in the country. (See cut.) 3-inch pots, $1.00 
each; $10.00 per doz. 
An excellent Rose for forcing. 
The flowers are very double, of a deep crimson color, and 
very fragrant. 
Bridesmaid. This beautiful Rose is a 
Rosg. 
« LIBERTY ” 
sport from Catherine Mermet, possessing 
all the good qualities of that variety, but 
surpassing it in color, being of a darker, 
richer pink. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. One 
of the most desirable Roses. The flowers 
are of large size, of a creamy white shad- 
ing deeper towards the centre. It is a 
strong, healthy grower, and popular both 
as a bedding variety and for forcing. 
La France. Splendid satin rose, the 
sweetest of all Roses. 
Meteor. Rich, dark, velvety crimson 
Hybrid Tea. A free blooming vigorous 
growing variety. 
Mme. Caroline Testout. Strong 
growing Hybrid Tea. The bloom is 
large and double, color bright satiny pink, 
with rosy centre. Odorous and quite free 
flowering. A first-rate variety for forcing. 
Perle des Jardins. Beautiful large 
rich yellow. 
The Bride. A lovely pure white Rose 
of the Mermet type. It is very full and 
double, free flowering and excellent for 
forcing.
