Superb In ew Roses of American Origin 



Within recent years American Rose growers have forged to the front in originating new Roses of pronounced 

 merit. Until recently nearly all our great new Roses were imported from Europe, and with all due deference 

 to the ability of our brother growers across the water, they have sent us many varieties, which, after careful 

 trials, have been proven to be comparatively worthless, while, again, we must acknowledge the pronounced 

 merit cf such grand varieties as Souv. de Pierre Notting, Rubin, Franz Deepen, Soleil d'Or, Sunrise, Baby 

 Rambler, and many others of recent introduction. We wish to call special attention to the Roses offered on 

 this and pages 13 and 14, which are distinctly American, and this is the first year that America has shown that 

 she is ready to contest supremacy in Roses with England, Ireland, France and Germany. We have given these 

 varieties thorough trials and our descriptions are the result of personal observations and may be depended 

 upon in every particular. They are varieties of extraordinary merit and we recommend them unqualifiedly. 

 All our plants for the season of 1905 are particularly strong, clean and healthy, and you may depend upon them 

 to give you the fullest measure of success. These varieties will prove hardy in almost all parts of the coun- 

 try, but in the North should be carefully protected.

New Hybrid Tea Rose 



One of the very finest Hybrid Tea Roses in cultivation, 

 with buds of enormous size, expanding into a flower almost 

 as large as American Beauty, while the color is bright, 

 clear pink. Strong grower, very free bloomer, and a Rose 

 of extraordinary merit. (See illustration). 20 cts. each; 

 3 for 50 cts.; two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose u CARDINAL'* 



One of the really great new Roses. For forcing recom- 

 mended as being better than Liberty and in the open ground 

 superior to Liberty or Meteor. A strong, robust grower, 

 with large, massive, crimson flowers, deliciously fragrant, 

 full and double to the center. Extremely free flowering,, 

 and of easy culture. A Rose that is destined to become a 

 leading crimson Hybrid Tea. 30 cts. each; 2 for 50 cts.; 

 two-year-old plants, 60 cts. each. 



New Hybrid Tea "ENCHANTER" 



Another splendid American introduction, the result of 

 years of diligent work and struggle on the part of the orig- 

 inator, Mr. John Cook, who is also the originator of Car 

 dinal. It is a cross between Mad. Caroline Tt stout, and an 

 unnamed seedling, and is one of the most prolific blooming 

 Roses in cultivation. Every shoot throws a flower, and the 

 flowers are beautifully made, of remarkable size, and in 

 color clear bright pink, which never fades. Mr. Cook rec- 

 ommends this Rose as the best of over five hundred vari- 

 eties that he has tested, and we congratulate him upon this 

 triumphal production. 30 cts. each; 2 for 50 cts.; two-year 

 old plants, 60 cts. each.

 pink. One of the best of the new ever-blooming Tea Roses.

Pfiiiasioipiiia Crimson Hammer 



This splendid new variety differs from 

 the old Crimson Rambler in having a 

 brighter, deeper and more intense color 

 and flowers that are perfectly double to 

 the center, very durable and of excellent 

 substance. It is a very profuse bloomer 

 and a good, healthy grower, producing 

 splendid clusters of perfectly double and 

 intensely brilliant flowers, absolutely 

 free from the faded appearance so fre- 

 quently seen in the flowers of the ordi- 

 nary Crimson Rambler. (See illustra- 

 tion).. Strong plants. 20c. each; 3 for 

 50c; two-year-old plants, 40c. each. 



PRIMROSE. — One of the daintiest 

 colored Roses in our collection. 

 The flowers are large, full and dou- 

 ble to the center. The color is a 

 soft Primrose yellow with touches 

 of shell pink. A new Tea Rose of 

 pronounced merit. 25 cts. each; 

 5 for $1; two-year-old plants, 50 

 cts. each.
