 good condition for planting during the summer months. 



Betty. Produces blooms of marvelous beauty, particularly so in 



the autumn. Color glowing coppery-rose, 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 brighter centre, very free and fragrant. 



Etoile de Feu. Very attractive large substantial globular buds 

 expanding to large, cupped, full to centre flowers, of a rich 

 flaming orange-pink with flame colored shadings, borne pro- 

 fusely throughout the season. 



Felicity. A gem of a beautiful shade of mallow-pink shading to 

 bright cerise at the edges, with soft creamy suffusion at the 

 base of petals; fine long bud and splendid, large, double, sweet- 

 scented cup-shaped flower. 



General Mac Arthur. One of the best all-around bedding 

 Roses, its flowers of good form, of a warm, rich crimson scarlet 

 and very fragrant. 



Hadley. Large, full, perfect flowers of rich, dazzling crimson- 

 scarlet shading to velvety crimson; fragrant. 



Irish Hope. A splendid red with well-formed buds, broad 

 petals opening to moderately full, fragrant flowers. The color 

 is a rich rosy-crimson with maroon shadings. 



J. Otto Thilow. A rich glowing rose-pink of exceptional merit 

 with long pointed buds, as the flowers expand, the petals reflex 

 forming a beautiful large double high centred flower. 



Killarney Brilliant. A "sport" from Killarney far more in- 

 tense in coloring, a rich glowing shade of rosy-carmine. 



Killarney Queen. Also a sport of Killarney with larger, more 

 double flowers which are absolutely perfect in all stages of 

 development, color a sparkling cerise-pink. 



Los Angeles. One of the most beautiful Roses yet introduced. 

 The long-stemmed flowers are of a luminous flame-pink, toned 

 with coral, and shaded with translucent gold at the base of the 

 petals. The buds are long and pointed and expand to flowers of 

 large proportion, of absolutely perfect form and of rich fragrance. 



Margaret McGredy. Large brilliantly-colored double flowers 

 of an entrancing shade of rich Oriental red, passing to carmine- 

 rose, lasting a long time. The plant is of vigorous bushy habit, 

 very free flowering; light spicy fragrance. 



Miss Rowena Thorn. In vigorous habit of growth, its adapt- 

 ability to varied climatic conditions, it equals the popular 

 Radiance Roses, but its flowers are of much larger size, fre- 

 quently 5 J inches in diameter, equal to the best recent introduc- 

 tions and all of which it will outclass in freedom of flowering. Its 

 buds are long and shapely, opening to perfect double flowers of 

 a brilliant rose-pink, the base of the petals having a golden suf- 

 fusion which as the fragrant flowers unfold, adds to the brilliancy 

 of its coloring. 



Mme. Edouard Herriot (The Daily Mail Rose). In color its 

 buds are coral-red, shaded with yellow at the base, the open 

 flowers of medium size, semi-double, are of a superb coral-red, 

 shaded with yellow and bright rosy-scarlet passing to shrimp-red. 



Mme. Jules Bouche. While not a pure white, it being at times 

 slightly tinted with blush at the centre, it is to all intents white 

 and without question the best white everblooming bedding Rose 

 yet introduced. The flowers are large, quite double and of splen- 

 did form, both in the bud as well as in the fully expanded flower; 

 it is fragrant, a vigorous grower and very free flowering. 



Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. A most distinct and valuable Rose, 

 of a bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of even tone that 

 passes to yellow at the base of the petals; this attractive color 

 does not fade as the flower ages, but if anything becomes richer 

 and brighter. The bud is long pointed and develops into a full 

 double flower of model form and substance; very fragrant. 



Mrs. Beatty. An exquisite self-colored light lemon-yellow with 

 the delightful perfume of the old favorite Marechal Niel. Habit 

 of growth good, with disease-immune foliage, always in flower 

 with large, long, oval-pointed buds. 

 Price 



Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thorn. The best yellow bedding 

 Rose we have today. It is of clean healthy vigorous growth with 

 abundant dark bronzy disease-resisting foliage and a continuous 

 free bloomer throughout the season. The good-sized buds are 

 long and shapely and develop into full double very shapely 

 flowers of a rich deep lemon yellow sweetly scented. 



Mrs. Henry Bowles. One of the best bedding varieties grown, 

 always in flower and perfect in every stage of development. In 

 color it is of an intense brilliant pink with lighter salmon pink 

 shadings. 



Mrs. William C. Egan. A vigorous strong healthy grower, 

 with long, pointed buds of absolutely perfect form, that develop 

 into flowers of good shape. In color it is a two-tone pink, the 

 reverse of the petals a soft light pink, the interior deep flesh color. 



Ophelia. A variety which has made such a record for itself that 

 qualifies it to be classed with the very best, a Rose that is ad- 

 mired by everyone; its flowers are held erect on long stiff stems, 

 are of perfect form, good size, and of a most pleasing delicate 

 tint of salmon flesh, shaded with rose, very floriferous. 



Padre. Most attractive and novel in coloring, with long petals 

 of a coppery scarlet flushed with yellow at the base. Growth 

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

 ably beautiful bedding Rose. 



Rev. F. Page Roberts. A Rose of remarkable 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 particularly high colored in late 

 summer and fall. The plant is of vigorous branching habit 

 with beautiful foliage. 



Shot Silk. One of the most beautiful of Alex. Dickson & Son's 

 introductions. Color orange-rose, overshot with golden-yellow 

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

 cupped with reflexing outer petals, growth vigorous and free. 



Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A most vigorous grower of 

 erect branching habit, beautiful, brilliant green foliage, long 

 pointed buds of exquisite shape, carried on long, stiff stems. 

 Very large, full flowers with elongated deep petals, a beautifully 

 formed bloom. Color, striking sunflower-yellow, deeper in the 



centre, without any color blending
