Select List of Hybrid-Tea Roses 



Under this heading we offer Uie world's liest introductions previous to the year 1913. All of them varieties which we have 

 had the pleasure of trying out in our own trial grounds, and which we can fully endorse and recommend to the large and small 

 planter. 



For the latest introductions see pages 14 and 15. 



Antoine RIvoire. An ideal bedding Rose of large size, ex- 

 quisite form and colorint;, which is soft peach-flesh with deeper 

 shadings; the base of the petals yellow. 



Arthur R. Goodwin. A beautifully rich-colored coppery- 

 orange; as the flower matures it opens to a soft salmon-pink; 

 a good full flower, very free and distinct. 



Belle Siebrecht. A superb Rose of a brilliant pink color; 

 the flowers are large; buds long and tapering. 



Betty. A strong, vigorous grower, producing in great pro- 

 fusion its large, deliciously -scented flowers, which are of a 

 glowing coppery-rose color, suffused with a golden sheen. 



Caroline Testout. One of the most popular and valuable 

 bedding varieties; large, full, globular flowers of bright 

 satiny-rose, with lirighter centre; very free and fragrant. 



Chateau de Clos Vougeot. .\n ideal Rose, of a rich scar- 

 let, shaded fiery red, changing to dark velvety crimson as the 

 flowers expand, not unlike in color the popular Prince Camille 

 de Rohan. 



Dean Hole. Silvery carmine with salmon shadings; large, 

 full and of fine form; a variety of great excellence. 



Duchess of Wellington. Intense saffron-yellow stained 

 with deep crimson, changing to a deep coppery saffron-yellow 

 as the flowers develop. Delightfully fragrant and very free- 

 flowering. 7.5 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Duchess of Westminster. A peerless Tea-like Rose and 

 one of the best in our trial grounds. The blooms are very 

 large, full and perfectly formed, with high-pointed centre. 

 Very sweetly perfumed. The color, which is very novel, 

 is a dainty, clear rose-madder. The growth is vigorous, 

 erect and of very free- flowering habit. A gorgeous and 

 absolutely distinct Rose. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Ecarlate. Produces only medium-sized flowers, but is such a 

 brilliant scarlet in color and such an incessant bloomer that 

 we count it among the best bedding varieties. 



Farbenkonigin. A very attractive and showy variety, the 

 large, fragrant flowers being a most desirable imperial pink. 



General MacArthur. As an all-round garden Rose, there 

 is no variety of i:s color — a rich crimson-scarlet — which will 

 give equal satisfaction; a clean, healthy vigorous grower, 

 |)roducing its sweetly scented flowers of good double form in 

 great [)rofusion even under the most unfavorable weather 

 conditions. 



George C. Waud. A beautiful variety, possessing a shade 

 of color hitherto unknown among Roses — a glowing vermilion 

 with orange-red suffusion. The flowers are large, full, ot 

 perfect form, and highly tea-scented. 



Grace Molyneux. A chaste Rose of rare beauty. The 

 color is a creamy apricot, flesh in the centre, the outer petals 

 when developed are a delicate creamy-white inside, with a 

 faint pink sheen on ihe reverse. Delightfully tea-scented. 



Qrossherzog Friederich. A highly |)erfumed carmine-rose 

 pink, flower of medium size, but very floriferous. 



Gruss an TeplitZ. This is a rose for everybody, succeeding 

 under the most ordinary conditions. In color it is of the 

 richest scarlet, shading to a velvet y-crimson; very fragrant, a 

 free, strong grower and in bloom all the time. 



Qustav Grunerwald. Carmine pink, large, full, of fine 

 form, buds long and pointed; one of the best. 



Jonkheer J. L. Mock. This beautiful Rose has quickly 

 found its place among our best bedding varieties. The flow- 

 ers, which are produced with the greatest freedom on long, 

 si iff stems, are of large size and of perfect form, of a deep 

 imperial-pink, the outside of the petals silvery rose-white; 

 highly perfumed. 



Joseph Hill. Of vigorous growth, remarkably free-floweiing; 

 in color a lovely shade of salmon-pink; the perfect flowers 

 are large, full and double. 



Konigin Carola. This variety frequently produces flowers 

 seven inches across and perfect in form, both in bud and 

 when fully expanded. In color a beautiful satiny-rose, with 

 the reverse of the petals silvery rose; very floriferous. 



Price. Any of the above, except where noted, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.
