NEW ROSES— Continued 



Koyal Red 



John Cook 



Hybrid Tea. Honored with the name of our veteran 

 Rosarian, this fine seedhng of La France is noted for its pro- 

 fusion of bloom throughout the entire season. The buds 

 form in clusters of two to six. The flowers are similar to La 

 France in color, but it is a great improvement of that variety 

 in its quick growth and freedom from black-spot. A fine 

 Rose, suitable for all purposes. 



Gaiety (H. T.). Buds of a brilliant shade of orange-ver- 

 milion, as the blooms open the petals are ruffled, each row 

 showing a different tone from soft old rose, pink and orchid 

 to creamy fawn at the center. Handsome shapely plant 

 and a great bloomer. 

 Rose Hill (H. T.). A sport of Columbia. Color a pure rose 

 pink of charming brilliance which does not lighten. Foliage 

 ample, clean and heavy. Buds long pointed, opening full 

 and double. 

 Lucinda (H. T.). One of the favorite sports of Columbia. 

 Bright even pink color of a rounded form in bud, opening 

 full and double. 

 John Russell (H. T.). Large ovoid buds and immense crim- 

 son flowers of the old time globular type and one of the 

 handsomest red Roses. $1.25 each; 2 for $2.25. 



Price, except where otherwise noted, first size, one-year plants, 

 50 cts. each, for all Roses on this page; 3 for $1.25, postpaid; two- 

 year-old plants, $1.50 each, by express; $15.00 per dozen of one or 

 more varieties, $1.60 each, by parcel post, with soil on roots. 



Royal Red 



Hybrid Tea. Color a magnificent scarlet red with almost 

 black shading, retaining its color in the fully open flower as 

 illustrated. Buds are large and weU formed opening into full 

 double blooms of a delightful fragrance. Good heavy dark 

 green healthy foliage and of robust growth. Flowers are pro- 

 duced in great abundance throughout the grow- 

 ing season. An ideal garden rose. 

 Templar. Bud medium size, globular; flower 

 medium size, double globular, very lasting. 

 Vigorous upright, abundant and continuous 

 bloomer. A new forcing Rose which is making 

 its way into the garden. Clear bright red, of 

 exceeding double form and with fine strong 

 stems. Few thorns. Strongly perfumed. 

 Priscilla (H. T.). An American introduction, 

 which as a rule means adapted to this country. 

 Strong robust grower with dark green foliage 

 free from disease. Color a flesh pink with 

 darker shadings. Buds well formed opening 

 full and double and on long stiff stems well 

 above the fohage. Excellent for cutting. 

 Mme. Gregoire Staechelin. A new type of 

 chmbing rose from Spain. Cross between the 

 popular variety Frau Karl Druschki and 

 Chateau de Clos Vougeot, and it seems to have 

 inherited the good qualities of both. Long 

 pointed buds of crimson at first, then as the 

 blooms expand show splashes of carmine, with 

 pear pink inside. Two-year-old plants, 

 $2.50 each. 

 Striped Radiance. Sport from the popular 

 variety Red Radiance but distinctly striped 

 with white, makes an attractive show. Good 

 strong grower like its parent, also as free a 

 bloomer.
