The Roses that Bloom Forever. Charming, 

 Magnificent and Highly-Perfumed Varieties. 



La Princess Vera— The flowers 

 are large, linely made and open 

 beautifully; when fully open 

 there appears to be a flower 

 within a flower, so perfect is the 

 form. The color is a rich ivory 

 white, shaded and veined with 

 fine coppery yellow and deli- 

 cately penciled with pale blush. 

 Worth 25c, my price 15c. each. 



Perle des Jardins— The one Tea 



Rose which you cannot do with- 

 out. It has absolutely no weak 

 point. The color is faultless 

 whether thewaxy petals show the 

 rich cream tint of cool weather or 

 take richer golden shades which 

 a warmer sun gives them. The 

 foliage is very thick, glossy and 

 dark. 



Bridesmaid— (Tea)— ThisexQuisite 

 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 and 

 of beautiful form, carried high 

 and erect onbright smooth stems. 

 Would grace any bride in her 

 wedding robes. Unsurpassed 

 for purity of color. 



Two-year-old Roses should 

 be shipped by express. See 

 page 2 of this Catalogue.

 ta red, passing to fine violet crim- 

 son, richly shaded. Flowers 

 large, full and regular with thick 

 velvety petals and delicious tea 

 scent. Makes beautiful buds, an

 Rose in every way.

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 flow- 

 ers. The color is a delicate, 

 creamy white, deliciously fra- 

 grant. 15c. each. 



Niphetos— I consider this one of 

 the very best and most satisfac- 

 tory in the list. The superb extra 

 long pointed buds are exceeding- 

 ly beautiful, the flowers are extra 

 large and double. The color is a 

 beautiful glistening snowy white; 

 strong, vigorous grower and will 

 produce bloom without end.

miums ON first page. 



White Maman Cochet— This is a superb 

 variety, 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. Abel 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. 



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

 ever offered, flowers of large size and 

 freely produced.

 sweet, pure white, tinged and shaded with 

 pale yellow and rosy blush, very fragrant, 

 strong, healthy grower, profuse bloomer. 



Beaute Inconstant— A new ever-blooming 

 Rose. This is a pure Tea Rose, with 

 flowers of good size and deliciously fra- 

 grant. The )oint of excellence in this 

 Rose is that a plant in bloom shows flow- 

 ers of different colors, some will be yel- 

 low, others light tawny, or coppery yel- 

 low, 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 

 grandest of all new Rbses. 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 win- 

 ter in any window. Blossoms are per- 

 fectly double in the center, good shape 

 both in bud and bloom, while the color is 

 a deep, rosy pink, darker and ricljer than 

 Hermosa— a shade of the delicate rich- 

 ness 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 fragrance. Though a 

 perpetual bloomer it is very hardy and 

 robust as an oak. and is the most healthy 

 Rose extant. 15c. each; large 2-year- 

 old plants 35c.
