Prince E, C. d^Arenberg 



In no Rose of recent introduction have we found so many 

 desirable features as there are in Prince E. C. d'Arenberg, and 

 we are fortunate in being able to offer it to our customers. 

 Flowers of a bright scarlet shaded maroon, borne on long, 

 straight, upright stems. Buds long and pointed, opening full 

 and double, perfect form, massive petals. Resembles American 

 Beauty in shape and size. Strong, healthy grower, excellent 

 foliage, constant bloomer, making an ideal garden Rose, as 

 there is no color as showy as a deep scarlet, and attracts 

 attention wherever grown. Hardy in almost any location or 

 climate. An excellent cut-flower variety, blooms always in 

 demand. Price, first size or one-year-old plants, 30c each; 4 

 for $1.00; larger size, 40c; 3 for $1.00, postpaid; two-year-old 

 plants, 60c, by express. All on own roots. 



ROBIN HOOD — A. new crimson Hybrid Tea of wonderful 

 merit, and soon to become one of the leaders in its class. It 

 has all the requirements of an exceptionally good garden 

 Rose, and has the features often sought for in a red H. T. 

 Rose, i. e., blooms full and double to the center. A grand 

 grower, producing heavy canes and foliage. Blooms of 

 immense size like the June Rose or Hybrid Perpetual. Color 

 glorious rosy scarlet that is soft, bright and lasting. Free 

 bloomer, that is, blooming the entire growing season. Hardy 

 everywhere. Price, first size or one-year-old plants, 30c each;

DUCHESS OF WESTMINSTER _A peerless Tea-like Rose, 

 and one of the best in our trial grounds, with beautifully 

 smooth and massive petals. The blooms are very large, full 

 and perfectly formed, with high-pointed center. Very sweetly 

 perfumed. The color, which is very novel, is a dainty, clear 

 rose-madder. The growth is vigorous, erect and of very 

 free- flowering habit. Price, first size plants, 25c each, post- 

 paid; two-year-old plants, 50c each, by express.

This new Hybrid Tea Rose has the brightest future, in 

 our estimation, of any Rose introduced for the last quarter 

 century. The color is one so difficult to describe that any 

 description can only be a partial one, and gives but a faint 

 idea of the superb beauty and richness of the shades. 

 Salmon-flesh, shaded with rose. Buds of unusual attract- 

 iveness, opening full and double. The illustration conveys 

 but a faint idea of its beauty and formation, which is of 

 large and perfect shape. Habit excellent, growth strong, 

 produces flowers on long stems, standing well up above 

 the foliage, and in great profusion all summer. Hardy in 

 almost all localities. Grand for forcing or outdoors. Price, 

 strong, first size plants, 25c each, postpaid; two-year-old 

 plants, 50c each, by express. All on own roots. 



KILLARNEY BRILLIANT _An offspring of Pink Killarney, 

 but several shades darker, the color being a beautiful 

 shade of brilliant red. Habit of growth same as Kil- 

 larney. Just as free bloomer and hardy. Price, first size 

 or one-year-old plants, 30c each; 4 for $1.00, postpaid; 

 two-year-old plants, 75c each, by express. All on own 

 roots.

 originated by the great Rosarian, John Cook, of Balti- 

 more, Md., and named in honor of the writer of the 

 "Star Spangled Banner." Color a glowing scarlet with 

 darker shadings. Buds long and pointed, opening fuUI 

 and double, produced on long, upright stems.

 blooming. Excellent cut-flower variety. Price, first i

 year-old plants, 75c each, by express.
