EIGHT 



OF THE VERY 



FINEST 



EVER-BLOOMING ROSES. 



Worth 20c, my price 10c. each, 

 except where noted. THE SET OF 8, 

 POSTPAID ONLY 75c Larger plants 

 by express 25c. each. 



La Princess Vera— The flowers are 

 large, finely umde anil open beauti- 

 fully; when fully open there ap- 

 pears to be a flower within a flow- 

 er, so perfect is the form. The 

 color is a rich ivory white, shaded 

 and veined witli tine coppery yel- 

 low and delicately penciled with 

 pale blush. Worth 25c.; my price 

 15c. each, 



Perle des Jardins — The one Tea Kose 

 Which you cannot do without. It 

 has absolutely no weak point. The 

 color is faultless whether the waxy 

 petals show the rich cream tint of 

 cool weather or take richer golden 

 shades which a warmer sun gives 

 them. The foliage fc very thick, 

 glossy and dark. 



Bridesmaid — (TEA) — This exquisite 

 new Rose is a sport from the old 

 favorite, Catherine Mermet. The 

 Bridesmaid retains all the good 

 qualities of its parent, and Is sim- 

 ilar except as to color, which is 

 two shades darker. It is a valu- 

 able acquisition. 



The Bride — Decidedly the best pure 

 white Tea Rose. The buds are 

 very large, very double aud of 

 beautiful form, carried high and 

 erect on bright smooth stems. 

 Would grace any bride in her wed- 

 ding robes. Unsurpassed for puri- 

 ty of color.

LA PRINCESS VERA. 



Souv. de Wootton — Bright magenta 

 red, passing to tine violet crimson, 

 richly shaded. Flowers large, full 

 and regular with thick velvety 

 petals and delicious tea scent. 

 Makes beuutiful buds, an immense 

 bloomer and a glorious Rose In 

 every way. 



B. Varorme — Superb extra long 

 pointed buds; flowers large, vase 

 shaped, full and double. Color is 

 intense scarlety crimson, very rich 

 and bright, and is beautifully 

 shaded with salmon yellow or buff 

 rose at center, very fragrant. 

 Worth 25c. ; my price 15c. each, 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria — As 

 hardy as a Hybrid Perpetual and 

 as free blooming as any Tea Rose. 

 It is celebrated the world over 

 for its elegant, large, pointed 

 buds and large full double flowers. 

 The color is a delicate, creamy 

 white, deliciously fragrant. 15c. 

 each. 



Niphetos — I consider this one of the 

 very best and most satisfactory in 

 the list. The superb extra long 

 pointed buds are exceedingly beau- 

 tiful, the flowers are extra large 

 and double. The color is a beauti- 

 ful glistening snowy white; strong, 

 vigorous grower and will produce 

 bloom without end.

 novelty plant premiums on first page. 



White Maman Cochet — This is a superb va- 

 riety, and to see it in bloom one is lost 

 to find words to express its wonderful 

 beauty. Color a beautiful snowy white, 

 sometimes faintly tinged with the slight- 

 est suggestion of pale blush. Magnificent 

 buds and flowers which are marvelously 

 beautiful in their perfection. It has the 

 vigor of an oak. 



Mad. Schwaller — Blooms in large clusters; 

 large globular flowers; fine salmon rose, 

 finely edged with violet carmine; highly 

 perfumed; a strong healthy grower; very 

 profuse bloomer and a high-class variety 

 in every respect. 15c. each. 



Mme, Afc-el Chatenay — A great rose of ex- 

 traordinary merit. A free and constant 

 bloomer, with flowers of good size, rosy 

 carmine with darker shadings. Full, 

 double and of splendid substance. 15c. 

 each. 



Mad. de Watteville— (THE TULIP ROSE) — 

 The color is a remarkable shade of 

 creamy yellow, richly colored with rosy 

 blush; the petals are large and each one 

 widely bordered with bright crimson, 

 which gives it a very striking and beauti- 

 ful appearance. The flowers are large, 

 very full and highly perfumed. Fine for 

 all purposes. A very profuse bloomer. 



Golden Gate — A glorious Rose. Full and 

 double, extremely beautiful buds. Color is 

 creamy white, exquisitely tinged with rich 

 golden yellow and clear rose. One of the 

 most strikingly beautiful varieties ever of- 

 fered, flowers of large size and freely pro- 

 duced. 



Mad. Joseph Schwarts — A lovely Tea Rose. 

 Extra large, globular flowers, very full and 

 sweet, pure white, tinged and shaded with 

 pale yellow and rosy blush, very fragrant, 

 strong, healthy grower, profuse bloomer. 



Beauty Inconstant — A new ever-blooming 

 Rose. This is a pure Tea Rose, with flow- 

 ers of good size and deliciously fragrant. 

 The point of excellence in this Rose is that 

 a plant in bloom shows flowers of different 

 colors; some will be yellow, others light 

 tawny, or coppery yellow, buff, saffron, 

 pink and light and dark crimson. It is a 

 beautiful sight to see a plant in bloom, 

 bearing many different colored Roses. 

 Price, 15c. each. 



Champion of the World — This is the grand- 

 est of all new Roses. It is claimed that 

 one plant of it will produce more flowers 

 during the year than ten plants of any 

 Tea Rose. Always in full bloom. Plants 

 which have bloomed all summer in the 

 garden may be potted in the autumn and 

 will bloom profusely all winter in any 

 window. Blossoms are perfectly double in 

 the center, good shape both in bud and 

 bloom, while the color is a deep, rosy pink, 

 darker and richer than Hermosa — a shade 

 of the delicate richness that is seldom 

 seen. It is very large for an ever-bloomer 

 and is as fine as La France or the best 

 Hybrid Perpetual. Has a delicious frag- 

 rance. Though a perpetual bloomer it is 

 very hardy and robust as an oak. and is 

 the most healthy Rose extant. 15c, each; 

 LARGER PLANTS, 35c. EACH, 



CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.
