NEW, GRAND, INCOMPARABLE VARIETIES. 



Culture: 



If roses are designed for out-door planting, select a sheltered sunny location. If for in-door, give a sunny window, 

 keep temperature from 56° at night to 75° during the day. Roses may be grown to perfection in ordinary garden soil. 

 As a fertilizer nothing surpasses fine, well decomposed manure. Set the plants a little deeper than formerly, arrange the roots in 

 their natural positions, and cover with fine earth, pressing it firmly around them. Then water and guard against too much sun at 

 first. Keep the soil around the plants loose and free from weeds. Pot roses thrive much better if foliage is sprayed every day. 

 This will keep your roses in fine, healthy condition. My varieties are the very best in their respective colors up to date, and are the 

 sorts I use in large quantities for cut flower purposes.

THE SIX BEST NEW TEA ROSES. 

 BRIDESMAID — (Tea)-l-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 very similar in every respect, 

 save color, which is about two shades darker, being a bright 

 soft pink, never affected in color by the weather. It is a valuable 

 acquisition, greatly admired by all. You shouldn't be without 

 it. Each 10c. 



BELLE SIEBRECHT— (Hybrid Tea)— A truly superb Rose, a solid 

 pink of the richest shade ; a rare color. The flowers, 

 which are sweetly perfumed, are large, beautifully 

 formed, and of that long, tapering shape, with high 

 centre, and when half blown the petals reflex in a very 

 graceful manner. It has received the Gold Medal of the 

 National Rose Society of Great Britain and first-class certificates 

 from all the leading horticultural societies in Europe and Amer- 

 ica. It is much richer and more brilliant in color than either 

 American Beauty or Bridesmaid, and in shape more graceful, and 

 develops and holds its color perfectly in dull weather. Dean 

 Hole, of England, the acknowledged greatest Rosarian, and the 

 author of the " Book on Roses" says: "It is not only the fine 

 form and most beautiful color, which all must admire, but also 

 the vigorous habit and endurance of the flowers, all of which 

 will make it to be universally welcomed." Each 35c. 



KA1SERINA AUGUSTA VICTORIA— (Hybrid Tea)-7-Pure ivory 

 white. A flower of grand build from the very first bud-form 

 till the x'ose drops its petals. This variety can be had in great 

 purity of color throughout the year. Each 10c. 



MRS. W. C. WHITNEY— (Hybrid Tea)— A grand new rose of deep 

 clear pink shade ; buds long and rounded, immense in size, and 

 long, heavy stems. The flowers are double and of the sweetest 

 fragrance. Free in growth.. Each 25c. 



MRS. PIERREPONT MORGAN— (Tea)-2-Sport from Mme. Cusin and 

 a much more robust and superior grower. Flowers larger and 

 very double. Color is intensely bright cerise or rose pink. 25c. 



SOUV". DE WOOTTON-3-(Hybrid Tea')— Unquestionably one of the 

 finest for either summer or winter blooming. Color is a beauti- 

 ful shade of crimson, deliciously fragrant, a constant and prolific 

 bloomer. Will live out all winter in this latitude. Each 15c.

THE SIX BEST NEW HARDY ROSES. 



ROGER LAMBEK1N— The new hardy variegated Rose; a novelty of 

 the most striking order. Petals are irregular on the edge like a 

 double Petunia. The color is glowing crimson throughout, ex- 

 cept the edges of the petals, which are all distinctly marked 

 with a white band, forming a sharp contrast, and the most 

 unique colors known in roses. The foliage is large and hand- 

 some. The growth is free and vigorous and the fragrance is de- 

 lightful. Perfectly hardy. Each 3£c. 



D1NSMORE — This fine variety possesses all the desirable qualities 

 of a bedding rose. Good color, fine form, a profuse bloomer, and 

 stands the rigor of our Northern winters without protection. 

 Flowers are large, double, and of a dazzling scarlet crimson color 

 and have that rich spicy fragrance peculiar to the best hybrid 

 roses. Perfectly hardy. 15c each. 



MARGARET DICKSON— 5— New Rose.— (Awarded the gold medal 

 and six first-class certificates in England). No other rose ever 

 received so many certificates of merit in a single year, and while 

 it is practically new in America, I have no hesitation in 

 saying it is the best white Hybrid Perpetual for garden plant- 

 ing. Color is white with pale flesh center. Petals very large, 

 shell-shape. The flowers are produced singly on long, stiff 

 stems, double, and have the true Magnolia fragrance. Each 25c. 



CHAMPION OF THE WORLD — 8 — This is one of the grandest 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. Al- 

 ways 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 to the 

 centre, good shape, both in bud and blossom, while its color is a 

 rich, deep, rosy pink, darker and richer than Hermosa. and a 

 shade of the delicate richness, which is seldom seen. It is very 

 large for an ever-bloomer, and as fine as La France, or the best 

 hybrid perpetual. Has a delicious fragrance. Though a per- 

 petual bloomer it is as hardy and robust as an oak. and is the 

 most healthy rose extant. Perfectly hardy. Each 15c. 



CAPTAIN HAYWARD-4-Bright crimson carmine color, perfect form 

 very sweet, always opens well, does not mildew : hardy. 25c. 



CLIO-6-Flesh color: rosy pink center: large globular: hardy. 25c.
