Select Tea Roses 



Tea Roses have always been admired for their delicious fragrance 

 and for their delicacy of coloring, but many of the varieties have 

 now been superseded by the Hybrid-Tea class.

 continuously; the blooms are large, of great substance; the form 

 is perfect, the buds long and elegant; color sulphur-yellow, pass- 

 ing to a lighter shade at the edges of the petals. 



Lady Hillingdon. Coppery apricot -yellow, beautiful in the 

 bud; a strong grower and very free-flowering.

 pink; very double and exquisite in bud, or when full-blown.

 which is a creamy white.

 large, of elegant form; creamy-white with light rose shadings.

to flesh pink at edges. 

 Price. Any of the above, $1 .00 each; one each of the 6 sorts, $5.00. 



Lord Penzance's 

 Hybrid Sweet Brier Roses 



These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common Sweet 

 Brier and various other Roses, and like their parent, the foliage 

 is deliciously scented. Perfectly hardy. For best effect should be 

 grown as pillar Roses.

Anne of Geirstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 



Bradwardine. Clear pink flowers of fine form.

 lemon-yellow in the centre, sometimes toned with a most delicate 

 pink; a good grower and abundant bloomer, very sweet-scented.

New Hybrid Rugosa Roses 



F. J. Grootendorst. This might properly be called a Rugosa 

 Baby Rambler, it being a cross between Rugosa and the crimson 

 Baby Rambler. Imagine a shrub -like Rugosa Rose covered 

 with trusses of crimson Baby Rambler Roses and you will have a 

 fair conception of this new hybrid variety. It is not a Rose 

 that you want to plant in with your bed of Hybrid-Tea or Hybrid 

 Perpetual Roses, but is valuable to plant as an isolated specimen 

 or in a mass in a bed in an exposed position or in the shrubbery 

 border or use it far an everblooming hedge for which purpose 

 it is admirably adapted. It is absolutely hardy and continues 

 in bloom until late in the fall. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; 

 $75.00 per 100. 



Pink F. J. Grootendorst. Identical with the above variety, 

 except in color, wnich is a splendid clear pink. $1.25 each; 

 $12.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100.

 low as they develop, the only Rugosa of a yellow color. The 

 flowers are of good size for this type, sweetly scented and 

 produced freely in early summer. $2.50 each. 



Ramanas or Rugosa Roses 



These lovely Roses are absolutely hardy and form sturdy bushes 

 4 to 6 feet in height, covered with handsome crinkled flowers. The 

 single sorts flower almost continuously, and are equally as attract- 

 ive during the autumn and winter when covered with their large 

 brilliant red seedpods. Of healthy, vigorous growth and equally 

 desirable alike as single specimens, particularly among shrubs or 

 for making a hedge. Rugosa Roses require no pruning, merely cut 

 out dead and superfluous wood.

 — Alba. Single pure white. 

 Conrad Ferdinand Meyer.

large double white flowers. 

 Price. Any of the above varieties, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; 



$60.00 per 100 



Rose Species 



Rosa Hugonis. This species, from China, is unlike any other 

 Rose. It is of shrub-like habit of growth and naturally forms 

 symmetrical bushes about 6 feet high, and the same in diameter, 

 and while not suited to plant in the Rose border, it is an in- 

 valuable subject when planted in connection with other shrubs 

 or as single specimen in the garden. 



Its delicate yellow single flowers are produced on long arching 

 sprays early in May, every branch of the previous season's 

 growth becomes lined on both sides to the very tips with these 

 attractive flowers, and after it has finished flowering it remains 

 an attractive decorative bush for the balance of the season; 

 perfectly hardy. Strong two-year -old plants, $1.00 each. 



Rosa Moyesi. A strikingly beautiful species, similar in habit of 

 growth to Rosa Hugonis but growing from 6 to 10 feet high with 

 attractive, brilliant, single, deep blood-red flowers, in June. 

 $1.00 each. 



Rosa Xanthina. Bright yellow double flowers about two 

 inches across, really a double flowering Hugonis with better 

 foliage and lasts in flower for a much longer period. $1.00 each. 



Rosa Centif olia. The old fashioned sweet-scented Cabbage or 

 Provence Rose. We can supply both pink and white at $1.00 

 each. 



New Hybrid Brier Rose 

 Buissond'Or or Golden Bush 



Appropriately named Golden Bush which is suggestive of its 

 habit of growth and freedom of flowering. The plant grows from 

 3 to 5 feet high, forming a shapely bush, every branch of which is 

 covered for its entire length with full double, sweetly scented, 

 shapely flowers from 2§ to 3| inches in diameter; these are of a 

 pure deep yellow turning to canary yellow as they fully develop. 

 Distinct from all other Roses and a particularly valuable plant to 

 use in connection with shrubs. $1.50 each.
