 Hybrid Teas and equals the Hybrid Perpetuals in hardiness. In

 Lord Charlemont 



Marion Cran. Messers. McGredy say of this novelty which is 

 now offered for the first time, "The color combination is the most 

 wonderful we have yet seen in any Rose. In the young stage, 

 before the flowers expand the color is deep buttercup-yellow] 

 margined and flushed cerise and rosy scarlet. As the flower 

 opens, the outside of the petals retain their color, while the inner 

 side opens a brilliant geranium scarlet, flushed and veined 

 orange and yellow; as the flowers age, the color changes to a 

 deep cerise or bright rosy scarlet, flushed buttercup yellow. 

 The whole flower glows, and has a wonderful sheen and when 

 fully open, the color combination is delightful. The habit 

 is bushy, free, and upright, making a magnificent bush; one of 

 the freest and most perpetual flowering garden and bedding 

 Roses. Awarded Certificate of Merit by the National Rose 

 Society of England." $3.00 each. 

 Mrs. R. B. Moloney. Pure brilliant crimson-carmine without 

 any variation, wonderfully brilliant and glowing. The flowers 

 are large, of perfect form, with reflexed petals of fine substance 

 and sweet scented. $2.00 each. 

 Mrs. W. E. Nickerson. An extreme- 

 ly vigorous growing very free-flower- 

 ing RoseoftheduatonePernetianatype. 

 The splendidly-formed buds are of an 

 entrancing new color, the exterior of 

 the petals heavily veined with rose d'or 

 and shaded orange-cadmium, the in- 

 terior a deep chrome-yellow on the 

 lower half vein out and pass to a warm 

 rich rosy-salmon. Valuable for in- 

 terior decoration, particularly so as 

 the intensity of coloring is 

 especially effective under 

 artificial light. $2.00 each. 

 Norman Lambert. We 

 have received many very 

 favorable comments from 

 Rose friends who planted 

 this variety during the 

 past season on account of 

 its unusual coloring, and free 

 habit of growth and profuse 

 flowering. A distinct color com- 

 bination, that is novel. The 

 outside of the petals is a deep 

 chrome yellow with a marginal 

 color effect of brilliant orange-scarlet merging to an 

 irregular zone of burnt orange, the inside salmon-orange, 

 suttused bronze, shading to yellow at the base. $1.50 each! 

 Patience. Another Gold Medal Rose of marvelous beauty 

 offered for the first time this season. The color in the young 

 stage is a scarlet carmine lake. As the flower opens, the color 

 is a deep orange at base, shading to orange scarlet, scarlet and 

 carmine lake, these colors are shaded and mingled in a manner 

 impossible to describe. The flowers are large, full and of perfect 

 form, one of the delightful sorts in which every bloom comes 

 perfect, they last for many days when cut and are delightfully 

 fragrant. A variety that we cheerfully recommend as one of 

 the best garden and cutting varieties. $2.50 each. 

 Sir David Davis. As this variety has shown up in the fields 

 during the past two seasons, we do not hesitate to select it as 

 one of the best red bedding Roses. Color, an unfading deep 

 glowing crimson of an even shade throughout running to light 

 yellow at the base of petals. The flowers are of good size 

 pointed and of good form with large, heavy petals and strongly 

 sweet scented. SI. 50 each. 

 Victor Waddilove. Buds of splendid form, long and pointed, 

 opening to moderately full flowers, sweetly scented. Color! 

 imperial pink flushed crimson and orange; the coloring is 

 intensified by the golden base of the petals, which gives the 

 flowers a golden suffusion which is difficult to convey. Growth 

 vigorous and very free-flowering. $1.50 each. 



We will supply one strong two-year-old plant of each of the 19 varieties of this splendid novelty collation amounting at single rates
