GEN. ROBT. E. LEE 



This magnificent new rose was raised by a Mr. Meehan, of 

 Richmond, Va., and named by him in honor of one of the great- 

 est generals the world has known. No rose of recent introduction 

 can be compared with it for beauty of coloring, for it is a perfect 

 gem indeed, and is bound to win its way in the affections of all 

 lovers of the beautiful. It is a true ever-blooming rose, belong- 

 ing to the Tea section. It is a vigorous grower with beautiful 

 dark green foliage. There is no rose that yields more perfect 

 blooms, as there is seldom a bud that does not mature. It seems 

 to be a perpetual bloomer. The great beauty and value of the 

 rose is the elegant shape and color of the buds, there being no 

 other rose like it in either respect. Price, 30c each. 



Rainbow — California's New Rose. — One of the most 

 unique and at the same time most beautiful of all 

 roses, attracting universal attention. Imagine a lovely 

 pink rose striped and mottled with intense crimson, 

 and elegantly colored with rich golden amber at cen- 

 ter and base of petals, and you have the Rainbow. 

 The buds are of beautiful form, large size and delicate 

 fragrance. This rose was given the highest award at 

 exhibition of the California State Floral Society. 1.5o 



Childs Jewel — This is one of the most remarkable as 

 well as most novel and beautiful rosss in cultivation. 

 A plant in bloom shows no two roses alike, the flowers 

 ranging in color from dark orange-yellow to crimson. 

 They come in all shades of yellow, pinks, crimson, 

 blush and apricot; others are blotched, variegated, 

 etc., making a novel sight. Flowers are large, de- 

 lightfully fragrant, and exquisitely beautiful. It is a 

 free grower and profuse bloomer, especially in the 

 open ground. As a novelty this is the most wonderful 

 ever introduced ; creates a sensation everywhere. 3.5c 



Tulip — One of the very best fancy roses, possessing a 

 fragrance of its own that is delightful. It is in color 

 an indescribable blending of beautiful ci-eamy yellow 

 and carmine: no other rose is like it. Each shell-like 

 petal is delicately outlined with bright pink. One 

 falls in love with it at first sight. You should include 

 this exquisite rose in your order. I5c each. 



Senator McNaughton — White Pei-le des Jardines. — 

 This fine white rose originated with Mr. Joseph Bevis

 variety. In foliage and growth it is identical with 

 Perle; the flowers are of the same form and size, 

 while the color is an ivory white of great purity. This 

 variety will prove invaluable to rose growers, for it is 

 of the same easy management as Perle, requiring the 

 same temjierature and treatment : and if there is a 

 difference in freedom of bloom, it is in favor of Senator 

 McNaughton. 2.5c each,
