CHOICEST ROSES 



PIITK MAMAN COCHET (Tea.) 



Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed by this 

 variety Is well nigrh marvelous, and cannot be seen In any 

 other Rose we know. The buds are beautiful; large, full and 

 firm and elegantly pointed; as they expand they show great 

 depth and richness. Flowers superb when open, extra large, 

 perfectly double and of splendid substance. Perfectly hardy 

 in all sections of the country. The color is clear, rich pink, 

 changing to silvery-rose. 



WHITE MAMAIT COCHET. 

 Or Friscilla — The Charming New White Tea Boee. 



It belongs to the Tea class, being a child of that grandest 

 of bedding or outdoor Koses, Maman Cochet, and is hardy in 

 Northern Ohio with slight protection in winter. Its habit is 

 exceedingly strong and upright, like its parent, and it pos- 

 sesses the same large, beautiful healthy foliage, and is a most 

 profuse and constant bloomer. The flowers are of enormous 

 size, remarkably round and full; pure, clear, snowy- white 

 throughout, and are delightfully tea-scented. It is by far the 

 finest and most reliable white bedding Rose yet produced. 

 AMEBICAK BEAUTT (Hybrid.) 



This variety has been rightly described as an ever-blooming 

 hybrid perpetual. The flowers are very large and double; 

 color, a deep rich rose. The fragrance is delightful. 



Our collection of Roses is second to none in the country, as 

 we have eliminated all undesirable sorts and are offering nothing 

 but those that make fine flowers and are free bloomers. 



Plant in an open, airy situation unshaded by trees. Ruses are 

 very partial to clay loam, but will do well in any ordinary soil 

 if enriched with bone. Dig the soil up thoroughly to the depth 

 of 12 or 15 inches, as rose roots penetrate deeply. Busli Roses 

 may be best arranged together in beds or borders. The size and 

 shape of a bed, wherever planted, should be made to fit the situa- 

 tion. Plant, as a rule, about 18 inches apart; for example, one 

 dozen roses will nicely fill a bed eight feet long by three feet wide. 

 2-year-old roots, 40c. each; $4.50 per dozen. 

 1-year-old roots, aOc, each; $2.25 per dozen. 

 By express, not prepaid.

 ble, full and sweetly scented. 



MY MABYLAND (Hybrid.)

 forcing. The color is a soft salmon-pink, light- 

 ing up beautifully as the flowers expand. It is 

 of splendid growth, sturdy jnd healthy, with 

 large foliage, and delightfully perfumed. 



BHEA BEID. 



In this new American variety we have a de-' 

 cided acquisition — a rose of the type of the 

 American Beauty, but of the easiest culture. 

 It never mildews or black-spots, and opens its 

 large flowers perfectly under all weather con- 

 ditions. In color it varies with the temperature 

 — in summer a bright cherry-rose, while in win- 

 ter it is a rich crimson-scarlet.

 sparkling shell-pink. Has a delightful tea fragrance.
