The Roses that Bloom Forever. Charming, 

 Magnificent and Highly-Perfumed Varieties 



La Princess Vera— The Sowers are 

 large, finely made and open beau- 

 tifully; 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 cop 

 pery yellow and delicately pen 

 ciled with pale blush. Worth 25c 

 my price ijceaeh. 



Perle des Jardins— The one Tea Rose 

 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 rich- 

 er golden shades which a warm- 

 er sun gives them. The foliage 

 is 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 paren t, and is sim- 

 ilar except as to color, which ia 

 two shades darker. It is a valua- 

 ble 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 on bright smooth stems. 

 Would grace any bride in her 

 ■wedding robes. Unsurpassed for 

 purity of color. 



Larjer Roses will be shipped by 

 express. See page 2 of this catalogue.
