HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 



• Columbia 



The Gem of the Garden 



This is one of the most impressive, and one of the 

 most popular roses since the introduction of the 

 glorious American Beauty. It is an extremely pro- 

 fuse bloomer — as free a bloomer as the Teas, 

 especially in the cooler seasons, for the plant is a 

 strong grower and is made up chiefly of flower stems. 

 The color is a deep peach pink, deepening into a glowing 

 pink, a perfect color. Handsome, firm buds are borne 

 on long, stiff stems well above the foUage, and open 

 into very large somewhat flat flowers of good substance, 

 splendid lasting quahty, and of dehghtful fragrance. 

 Heavy, healthy foHage. A very hardy rose, requiring 

 sUght protection in the colder climes. The blooms are 

 sometimes imperfect in extreme heat. For the amateur, 

 this rose is almost perfect, and should be in aU gardens. 



Josephine Vestal. The color is difficult to describe, a 

 salmon flesh, shaded rose, with a touch of yeUow at the 

 base. Buds of unusual attractiveness, opening full and 

 double, produced on long stems. Blooms produced in 

 great profusion. Hardy in all locaKties. 



Red Cross. A rose of unusual markings and color. Color, 

 orange crimson-scculet. Buds finely formed, long and 



pointed, opening full and carried on strong stems, 

 lightfully fragrant, a fine decorative rose.

Pernetiana. In this rose we have the clear 

 shining yeUow color not yet seen in any 

 rose, being entirely free from orange yeUow 

 found in such varieties as Sunburst and 

 Mrs. Aaron Ward. The fohage is free and 

 vigorous, leaves being bright shining green 

 looking as if they had been varnished.

 Captain Kilbee Stuart. Bich glowing vel- 

 vety crimson, shaded scarlet, most briUiant

 does not fade. Large size and substance, perfectly 

 formed, with high center, petals large, smooth and 

 massive. Splendid habit. An exhibition Bose of the 

 highest order, and as a bedding variety it is exceUent, 

 blooming continuously. Particularly good during the 

 Autumn. A superb Bose. 



Red Columbia 



This rose is a sport from the famous Columbia. The 

 blooms are not quite as full and double as Columbia, 

 yet they are of exquisite shape, and a most pleasing shade 

 of brilhant scarlet-crimson. An extremely profuse bloomer. 

 Foliage hea^^ and produced in abundance. Hardy and 

 easy to grow. An exceUent garden rose, and especially 

 useful as a boutonniere rose, because of its form and 

 fragrance.

 weU above the fohage. 



President Wilson. A dehghtful shade of salmon pink, 

 reminding one of the grand color of Willowmere, but 

 clearer in tone. Flowers of large size and exhibition 

 quahty, freely produced on erect stems. A great rose 

 and a very dependable garden variety. 



Mme. Melanie Soupert. The flowers are bright 

 golden-yeUow suffused with faint tinges of pink, with 

 a handsome and distinct form, making a Bose of great 

 beauty. It is a strong, vigorous grower, very hardy,
