Silver 



Columbia 



This rose is a sport of the famous 

 Cohimbia. The color is a clear shade 

 of deep silver pink, lighter than that of 

 its parent. The color deepens towards 

 the center. The flowers are larger than 

 Columbia, inclined to be flat, but mag- 

 nificently formed on long, strong stems, 

 which make it an excellent rose for 

 cutting. It has all the growing charac- 

 teristics of its parent, but is a more 

 profuse and a more constant bloomer — 

 blooming from one seascjn's end to the 

 other. The foliage is heavy, of a dark 

 green, remarkably free from disease. 

 Very hardy, and extremely easy to 

 grow — admirably adapted for the amateur's garden, 

 requiring little attention, and producing a wealth of 

 beauty. 



Aiitoine Rivoire. Flowers large, double and of fine 

 form; very fragrant; color, rosy-flesh, with yellow- 

 ground, shaded with border of carmine. Strong and 

 healthy. A great favorite. 



HYBRID TKA ROSES -Continued 

 Columbia (^^*^ ^cm ©f the Garden) 



This is one of the most impressive, and one of th(> most popular 

 roses since the introdai-tion of the glorious Amc^rican Beauty. 

 It is an extremely profuse bloomer — as free a bloomer as the 

 Teas, especially in the cooler seasons, for the plant is a strong 

 grower and is made up chiefly of flower stems. The color is a 

 deep peach pink, deepening into a glowing pink, a perfect color. 

 Handsome, firm buds are borne on long, stiff stems well abo\ c 

 the foliage, and open into very large somewhat flat flowers of 

 good substance, splendid lasting quality, and of delightful fra- 

 grance. Heavy, healthy foliage. A 

 very hardy rose, requiring slight pro- 

 tection in the colder climes. The 

 blooms are sometimes imperfect in ex- 

 treme heat. For the amateur, this rose 

 is almost perfect, and should be in all 

 gardens.
