"I 



Although we do not offer as long a list of varieties of Roses 

 equalled, and we contend that our customers are safer in selecting 

 long list, which would of necessity contain many inferior sorts. 



Antoine Rivoire. The color is rosy-flesh with deeper shadings, base of the 



petals yellow. The flowers are large and full. 

 Avoca. Crimson-scarlet; buds long and pointed, flowers large. 

 Balduin (also known as Helen Gould) . Intense carmine-crimson with deeper 



shades in the depth of the petals. 

 Cissie Easlea. Color, clear saffron-yellow, with carmine center. 

 Clothilde Soupert. The flowers are borne in sprays, very double and hand- 

 somely formed. The outer petals are pearly-white shading to a rosy- 

 pink in the center.

are very large, full, of perfect form, with high, pointed center; petals 



round and of great substance. 

 Comte G. de Rochemur. Fiery-scarlet, tinted satiny-vermilion, with bright 



red center, petals edged rosy-white. The flower is large and full and 



deliciously perfumed. 

 Dorothy Ratcliffe. In the bud stage it is a coral-red, shaded yellow and 



fawn, becoming paler as the flower expands. 

 Duchesse de Brabant. Rosy-flesh deepening to opaline-pink and rose. 

 Earl of Warwick. Rich, soft salmon-pink, shaded in center with vermilion; 



large and full. Equally good in both early and late summer; a showy 



and magnificent variety. 

 Ethel Malcolm. The color is ivory-white, passing to purer white as the 



flower expands, with a delicate peach shading in center of bloom; a lovely 



color. Delicately sweet-scented. 

 Etoile Poitevine. Rich velvety-red completely streaked with white and 



marbled with tender rose. The buds are long and delightfully fragrant. 

 General McArthur. In color it is the brightest amongst all the Roses, 



being a vivid crimson-scarlet. Of free-branching habit of growth; very 



vigorous and healthy, every shoot producing a flower. 

 Golden Gate. A monthly ever-blooming sort, strong-growing, fine flower 



stems; color, creamy-yellow, with pink edges. 

 Hermosa. The color is a clear, fresh bright pink. 

 Madame Edmee Metz. Flowers are rosy-carmine shaded with salmon.

petals; delicately tea perfumed. -The color is a warm carmine-crimson. 

 Mme. Jenny Gillemot. The buds are long and pointed; rich nankeen-yellow

 Mrs. Amy Hammond. The color is a blend of ivory, amber and apricot. 



The clear amber color is most pronounced, and develops during the best

of the flower. Many blooms develop all over this delightful apricot 



shading to such an extent that it is charming beyond description. 

 Mrs. David Baillie. Color madder-carmine with delicate veinings on the 



petals, penciled with a deeper shade. 

 Mrs. Joseph H. Welch. The color is a rich, brilliant rose-pink. The blooms 



are a model, both as regards size, shape, form and color.

Color, bright carmine-crimson without shading; a splendid garden rose.

 ing the original red "Baby Rambler" 

 in that respect. It blooms continu- 

 ously.

 fused rose with white center, making 



[ a charming combination; very free 

 blooming. Decidedly the best in its 

 color.

 riety it is splendid and if grown in 

 pots during summer, makes a most 

 satisfactory plant for winter blooming.
