HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria 



The greatest hardy, white Hybrid Tea Rose in existence. A strong, sturdy 

 grower; free-flowering; it has become the most popular of all white Roses 

 for general planting. Continuously from early spring until late fall, with 

 pointed buds, the large, double flowers are glorious in their perfection; 

 borne on long, stiff stems; delicate pure white, deliciously 

 fragrant. Unexcelled for cutting; absolutely hardy. Al- 

 though grown extensively under 'glass, it is essentially a 

 garden Rose. There is nothing finer than this glorious 

 Rose. 15c each, 4 for 50c; larger size, 20c each, 3 for 50c, 

 postpaid; two-year-old plants, 45c. 



IDEAL — A well-named Rose, as it is a free and continuous 

 bloomer with fine buds. Flowers are similar to the 

 Bridesmaid in color, but like La France in shape and 

 form. A perfect ideal in every way, as it is a grand gar- 

 den Rose. Blooms produced on long stems above the 

 foliage. Hardy. 20c each, 3 for 50c; larger size, 25c 

 each; two-year-old plants, 45c each
