SELECT ROSES 



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 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. 

 Strong 2-year-old plants, 50 cts. each ; $5.00 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. It is a "sport " from Golden Gate, which 

 to-day is probably the freest-flowering Rose of its type in 

 cultivation, but which unfortunately lacks in decided 

 color, on which account it has never met with much 

 popularity. The variety now offered embodies all of the 

 good points of its parent, size, freedom of bloom, strong, 

 vigorous, healthy growth, with a pure white color, which 

 makes it an invaluable acquisition, ahd a Rose which 

 must at once meet with popular favor. 



Good young plants, 15 cts. each; $150 per doz. 



New Climbing Rose 

 DOROTHY PERKINS. 



A hardy climbing Rose, which in strong, vigorous 

 growth and general habit very closely approaches the 

 popular Crimson Rambler ; its flowers, which are borne 

 in clusters of 30 to 40, and sometimes as many as 50 to 

 60, are of a beautiful shell-pink, full, double and of large 

 size for a cluster Rose and deliciously scented. A decided 

 acquisition and a Rose which should become popular. 

 Extra strong 1-year-old plants, 30 cts. each; $3 00 per doz. Young plants. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



New Hardy Climbing Rose CLIMBING CLOTHILDE SOUPERT. 



Among bedding Roses Clothilde Soupert has long held the premier position, and in this new variety we have a counterpart of 

 this popular Rose, but of a strong, vigorous, climbing habit. In color it is identical 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 popular hardy climbers. 



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



The New American Crimson Rambler 

 " PHILADELPHIA." 



This new variety is the result of a cross between the Crimson Rambler and 

 the Hybrid Perpetual Victor Hugo. It originated with the successful hybrid- 

 izer, Dr. Van Fleet, who says he considers it the best and most valuable new 

 Rose he has yet produced. 



It differs from the original Crimson Rambler in being of a deeper, brighter and 

 more intense color and perfectly double to the centre, and while it is not ex- 

 pected to supersede the old favorite Crimson Rambler, it will prove a valuable 

 addition to our list of hardy climbing Roses.

A TRIO OF OLD FAVORITES. 



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 of Scarlets, and edging the whole with Clothilde 

 Soupert. A bed of this kind will be a mass of flowers from spring 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.; $30.00 per 100.
