FOUR GRAND NEW ROSES 



LADY DOROTHEA. 



SPECIAL OFFER— The four Grand 

 New Roses, well worth $1.90, for only 

 50c postpaid. 



LIBERTY — New Hardy Ever-Blooming Eose — The color is magnifi- 

 cent rich, fiery ruby, with deep crimson tones in the depth of the 

 flowers. Petals are covered with a rich, velvety bloom, like those of 

 Gen. Jacqueminot. Fragrance is delightful, all-pervading and refresh- 

 ing, the crowning glory which alone would suffice to give it a high 

 place among fine Roses. Received medals and certificates at all 

 horticultural exhibitions. Worth 50c; my price, 20c. 



ETHEEEAL — The Crystal White Tea Eose — Best white Rose in 

 the world. This beautiful Rose has not only a royal name, but It 

 Is a royal Rose as well. We have white Roses that have elegant 

 buds, but when full blown are not all that is desired. Then again, 

 we have white Roses that are elegant when full blown, but have 

 poor buds. This Rose combines both these good qualities. It is a 

 continuous bloomer, producing successive crops of buds and flowers 

 in the greatest profusion. Buds are very beautifully formed, with 

 large petals of best substar.ce. It shows no center when fully open: 

 color pure snowy white; and when you add a rich perfume, coupled 

 with a vigorous growth, what more "could you ask'- An easy winner 

 over all competitors in its color. Worth 50c.; my price, 20c. 



LADY DOROTHEA — New Ever-blooming Tea Eose — A new and 

 beautiful Tea Rose, with which we are highly pleased: valuable alike 

 for forcing under glass for Winter flowers and outdoor bedding in 

 Summer. The color is a deep saffron yellow, flesh and peach-pink; very 

 fragrant. One of the most profuse bloomers we have ever grown. One 

 hundred flowers and buds counted upon a single one-year-old plant. 

 Worth 50c; my price, 20c. 



MAID OF HONOE — Ever-Blooming Tea Eose — Color Is a rich, glow- 

 ing pink, much darker than Bridesmaid and a stronger grower; flowers 

 carefully mude, after fashion of Bridesmaid; produced on long, stiff 

 stems; free bloomer, hundreds of flowers and buds on single plant; 

 fragrant. Worth 40c; my price, 15c.

These New Climbing Eambler Eoses are the sensation of the day, and well they may be. for the/ are indeed a marvel. Originating in 

 Japan, they may well be considered the latest and best contribution from the "Flowery Kingdom" to the gardens of the world. They are 

 perfectly hardy in the open ground and will grow eight to ten feet in a season. Are ever-bloomers, continuing from early Spring to late 

 Fall, the flowers appearing in large panicles of wondrous beauty. The flowers when cut last two weeks in water, and fully a month on 

 the bush, which is a perfect mass of bloom at all times. They can be grown in various ways, either as pillar Roses or trellis Roses, and 

 for covering a wall they have no equal.
