Kaiserin Augusta Vlctori — As 



vigorous as a Hybrid Perpetual and 

 as Iree blooming aa sny Tea Rose. 

 It is celebrated the ■world over for 

 its elegant, large, pointed buds and 

 large, full, double flowers. The 

 color is delicate, creamy white, 

 deliciouslv fragrant. 

 ISc each. 



I^phetOS — I consider this one of the 

 verj- 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 beautiful 

 glistening snowy white; strong, 

 orous grower and will produce blooni 

 without end. 



Souv. De Wootton— Bright magenta 



red, passing to iine \'iolet crimson, 

 richly shaded. Flowers large, full 

 and regular with thick velvetj' pet- 

 als and delicious tea scent. Slakes 

 beautiful buds, an immense bloomer 

 and a glorious Rose in every way. 



■J. B. Varonne — Superb extra long 

 pointed buds; flower* large, vase 

 shaped, full and double. Color is 

 intense scarlety crimson, very rich 

 and bright, and is beautifully shaded 

 ■nith salmon yellow or buff rose at 

 center, very fragrant. 



15c each. 



La Princess Vera — The flowers are 

 large, finely made and open beau- 

 tifully; when fully open there ap- 

 pears to be a flower within a flower, 

 60 perfect is the form. The color 

 is a rich ivory white, shaded and 

 veined with fine coppery yellow and 

 delicately penciled with pale blush. 

 ISc each. 



Perle des Jardlns — The one Tea 



Rose which you cannot do ■aithout. 

 It has absplutely 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 warmer 

 sun gives them. The foliage is very 

 thick, glossy and dark. 



Bridesmaid — (TEA) — This exquisite 

 new Rose is a sport from the ol'^ 

 favorite, Catherine Mermet. The 

 Bridesmaid retains all the good 

 qualities of its parent, and is similar 

 except as to color, which is two 

 shades darker. It is a valuable 

 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.

Beauty Inconstant — A new ever-bUoming 

 Rose. This is a pure Tea Rose, with flowers 

 of good size and deliciously fragrant. The 

 point of excellence in this Rose is that a plant

 copperj' yellov.-, buff, saffron, pink and light 

 and dark crimson. It is a beautiful sight 

 to see a plant in bloom, bearing many differ- 

 ent Colored Roses.

 Champion of the World — This is the grand- 

 est of :dl new Roses. It is claimed that one 

 plant of it wdU produce more flowers dur'ng 

 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 pro- 

 fusely' an winter in any window. Blossoms 

 are perfectly double in the center, good shape 

 both in bud and bloom, while the color is 

 deep, rosy pink, darker and richer than Her- 

 mosa — a shade of the dcUcite 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. Hss a delicious 

 fragrance. Though a perpetual bloomer it 

 is very hardy and robust as an oak, and is 

 the most healthy Rose extant.

 Roses, but will Uve outside in Summer.
