GRAND NEW ROSE 



" Liberty." 



Undoubtedly the finest crimson Rose of mod- 

 ern times, and a grand addition to the Hybi al 

 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 exqui-ite fragrance, a quantity alto- 

 gether 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. 



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 ten- 

 dency to sucker, insures continuity of bloom. 

 We unhesitatingly predict a great future for 

 " Liberty,"' as it has been thoroughly tested 

 by the introducers, who are among the most 

 expert and accomplished growers in the 

 country. (.See cut.)

NEW CJUIMBING ROSK "Royal Cluster." 



This new variety is a cross between Hermosa and Dawson. A strong growing cluster-rose, of erect habit, entirely hardy, and 

 is an abundant bloomer. The clusters are large, one cluster on the parent plant last year having over one hundred buds and 

 blooms. The color is rosy white, changing to white. The stamens are prominent and of a bright yellow — a striking feature. 

 Good young plants, 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. Strong 2-year-old plants, 40 cts. each ; $4.00 per doz. 



NEW CLIMBING MOSS ROSE 



"Cumberland Belle.'^ 



This is the forerunner of a new 

 race of Roses, a grand true cUiub- 

 iiig Moss Rose. It is of American 

 origin, having been found growing^ 

 in a private garden in the historic 

 Cumberland Valley — a sport from 

 that pretty Moss Rose Princess 

 Adelaide, itself a strong vigorous 

 grower which is wonderfully de- 

 veloped in the offspring, the orig- 

 inal sport the first season having^ 

 attained a height of over fifteen feel 

 and had one hundred and eighteen 

 buds and flowers on it at one time. 

 The past season, planted side by side 

 with Crimson Rambler and other 

 rampant growers, it fully equalled 

 them in vigor of growth. In color 

 it is identical to the parent, a bright 

 silvery rose, very double ; the buds 

 nicely mossed and exquisitely fra- 

 grant. Altogether a most unique 

 and desirable acquisition. (See 



cut.) 



Strong young plants, 30 cts. each ; 



$3.00 per doz. 



Strong 1 -year-old plants, 75 Cts. 

 each ; $7.50 per doz.
