DOROTHY PERKINS 



DOROTHY PERKINS.— A charming and 

 very valuable rose of American origin, pro- 

 ducing clear, shell pink, double Roses in clus- 

 ters that are very lasting. It is a strong grow- 

 er, very hardy and a marvelously profuse 

 bloomer. Being superior to the Pink Rambler 

 and of the same color, we have discarded the 

 last-named variety. (See cut.) 



E X C E L S A (Red Dorothy Perkins).— 



Flowers brilliant crimson; plant of W'ichura- 

 iana habit and foliage. It has the vigor and 

 profuse bloom of the Dorothy Perkins and its 

 double flowers of good size are borne in clus- 

 ters of thirty to forty each. 



GARDENIA (Hardy Marechal Niel).— The 



buds are nankeen yellow, pointed and very 

 pretty; the expanded flowers change to waxy 

 white and are held on long stems. It is of 

 vigorous habit, with glossy foliage and is a 

 profuse bloomer for a long period. (See cut.) 



PHILADELPHIA.— A seedling of and an 

 improvement upon, the well-known Crimson 

 Rambler. It is not so strong a grower, but 

 blooms about two weeks earlier, while the 

 flowers and clusters are larger and of a bright- 

 er crimson; and has better foliage. 



TAUSENDSCHOEN (Thousan I Beauties) . 



— A strong growing variety and covered from 

 early June until July with clusters of semi- 

 double flowers of every shade, from white to 

 deep pink. The roses are produced in be- 

 wildering profusion. 



VEILCHENBLAU (Blue Rambler).— The 



flowers which are larger than those of the 

 Crimson Rambler, are borne in loose clusters. 

 Candor compels us to state they are not a true 

 blue but are a muddy Wistaria blue and not 

 at all pleasing. We do not recommend it and 

 offer it simply because it is a nearer approach 

 to blue than any other rose. 



WICHURAIANA (Memorial Rose).— A per- 

 fect trailer, hugging the ground closely. It 

 ^rows from ten to fifteen feet in a season, and 

 IS densely furnished with dark green, glossy 

 foliage. The flowers are single, pure white, 

 with bright golden yellow stamens and with 

 the Banksia Rose fragrance. 



SILVER MOON.— An unique and extreme- 

 ly interesting Rose. It is a hybrid of the 



GARDENIA 



Cherokee Rose of the South and the Wich- 

 uraiana. Its buds are exquisite in form and 

 color, and its many semi-double flowers are 

 very pretty and decorative; opening a soft 

 nankeen yellow and quickly changing to pure 

 silvery white, are four inches or more in di- 

 ameter and slightly perfumed. It is a giant 

 in growth, with abundant large glossy leaves. 



WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS.— A sport 



of the popular Dorothy Perkins and like it in 

 every way except its flowers are white. Un- 

 fortunately the flowers are not a very clear 

 white and must be seen in mass to be effect- 

 ive — the individual flowers being of indifferent 

 attractiveness.
