 strong and upright and exceedingly free-flowering. A remark- 

 ably beautiful bedding Rose.

Pink Pearl. A dainty variety with delicious fragrance. In color 

 it is a brilliant rich cerise pink the base of the petals touched 

 with gold that lights up the flower wonderfully, particularly in 

 the half expanded bloom. The flowers are full double, of perfect

Rev. F. Page Roberts. A Rose of remarkably beauty both in 

 form and color. The long pointed buds are of a coppery-red 

 stained red on the outside and open to good full 

 double fragrant flowers of a golden-yellow par- 

 ticularly high colored in late summer and fall. 

 The plant is of vigorous branching habit with 

 beautiful foliage. A most distinct variety that 

 has deservedly gained great popularity.

 flushed soft rose, bud of beautiful shape, the open flowers cupped

Ville de Paris (City of Paris). A very distinct rich buttercup yellow 

 without a trace of any other color, retaining its richness under all 

 weather conditions. In formation it is somewhat similar to Radiance, 

 fairly double and splendid for cutting. Habit, upright, and tall, a pro- 

 fuse bloomer. 

 W. E. Chaplin. See page 126. $2.50 each. 



Wilhelm Kordes. Unique and entirely distinct in coloring; a rich 

 capucine red with coppery suffusion overlying a golden-salmon ground, 

 varying in intensity under different weather conditions, but 

 always beautiful and particularly high colored early in the 

 season and in the autumn. The buds are long and pointed, 

 opening to double high centered very fragrant flowers. Habit 

 compact but vigorous, very free flowering. 

 William E. Nickerson. See page 126. $2.50 each. 

 William F. Dreer. A beautiful Rose of the same parentage as 

 Los Angeles, and for delicacy of coloring no oth^r variety can 

 compare. The flowers, which are similar in shape to Los 

 Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful in all stages are at their 

 best in the half expanded flower. These, in expanding, are of 

 a soft, silvery shell pink at certain stages of development, a 

 golden suffusion illuminates the entire flower. 

 Willowmere. This splendid Rose is of a coral-red color, suffused 

 witli carmine in the bud state, and opens to a large, full, hand- 

 some flower of a rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow in the centre 

 and flushed carmine-pink towards the edges of the petals.
