The $30,000 Rose 



One of the epochs of our 

 business was the introduc- 

 tion of this magnificent 

 American Rose, and those 

 who have never planted it 

 should do so this spring. It 

 is a Hybrid Tea, a cross be- 

 tween Mad. Abel Chatenay 

 and Liberty, with color an 

 intermediate shade between 

 those of its two parents. 

 When first opening it is 

 much darker than the 

 Bridesmaid, and gradually 

 fades to the beautiful sil- 

 very pink of La France 

 when the Rose is at 

 its best. The form of the 

 flower resembles that of 

 Liberty, large, full and 

 double. It is a strong and 

 healthy grower and very 

 free flowering. Delicately 

 fragrant and a splendid 

 keeper, it is ideal for cut- 

 flower purposes. ^30,000 

 was paid for the control 

 of the original plants. 20 

 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts.; 

 larger size, 25 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 

 50 cts. each: 



If your order 

 amounts to $10 

 or more w e pre-

 charges. If un- 

 der $10, add 

 one-tenth to 

 the amount and 

 we will prepay 

 charges. 



Richmond 



Richmond Rose 



The most gorgeous Rose we have ever 

 seen,— -no other variety can compare with 

 it. In form and fragrance of flower it is 

 simply superb. Wonderfully free blooming, its 

 immense, fragrant, scarlet-crimson flowers 

 are borne on long, stiff stems, making it a 

 rival of American Beauty, and even more 

 dazzling in appearance. Richmond is a 

 Rose which attained wonderful popularity in 

 a marvelously short time, and is considered 

 the standard deep crimson Rose in the flor- 

 ists' shops, selling at all times for high prices. 

 In the garden its flowers are as fine as those 

 found in the greenhouses. Perfectly hardy. 

 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts.; larger size, 25 cts. 

 each, postpaid; two-year-old plants, 45 cts. 

 each; three-year-old plants, 75 cts. each.
