pointed buds, large and full sweetly scented flowers. 



Free-growing and free-flowering, a splendid Rose of 



exceptional richness and beauty. 



White Ensign. Bud pointed medium size, very double 

 high center. White sometimes showing creamy white. 

 Flowers singly and several together on long stems. 



BriarclifF. This is a beautifuUy formed, hght pink 

 Rose, a sport of Columbia. The bud is beautifully 

 formed, long and pointed, every flower opening per- 

 fectly. It is a great improvement on Columbia, re- 

 taining aU the good quahties of its parent, with none 

 of its faults. The color is more brilliant than Colum- 

 bia, being a pure pink. 



Scarlet Glory. Vermilion scarlet, the most vi^-id self- 

 colored rose yet produced. Good grower and very 

 free bloomer with abundant dark green foliage which 

 is not subject to mfldew^ or black spot. The bloom 

 is of good size and beautifully formed. A great 

 garden rose. 



Henrietta. Long buds, opening to semi-double blooms 

 of fiery orange and coral red, almost perfect in half 

 open state, quite fragrant. Strong grower with good 

 foliage. 



John Henry. A beautiful rosy scarlet in the bud stage, 

 opening to a splendid rich pink. The shade is unique 

 and unlike any other rose. Does not fade. A fine 

 long bud, opening into an ideal shaped rose; not 

 too^fuU. 



HYBRID TEA ROSES —Continued 



Francis Scott Key 



This American production, named in 

 honor of the author of our national an- 

 them, is a credit to its name. It is by far 

 the most popular red rose, for its glowing 

 colors, its remarkable size, its fuUness, its 

 perfection of form, make it a greatly prized 

 variety. The color is a rich, glowing scar- 

 let, with darker shadings, becoming darker 

 as the flower ages. It is a continuous 

 bloomer, producing its immense blooms on 

 stout stems in great profusion. The 

 growth is exceUent and the foHage heavy, 

 little troubled with disease. Very hardy. 

 Reports from almost aU sections of the 

 country show exceUent results with this 

 remarkable rose.
