i i \OV\9X& A fine- new Rose 



- >~ of great value to 



^_ the general planter. It grows 



— -"*! # with great vigor, and is our of 



the Roses that is valuable the whole year round. When 

 placed in open ground it quickly makes a large bush, 

 and commences to bloom almost as soon as set out. 

 continuing until severe freezing weather. It produces 

 its lovely flowers so freely that in this respect it ranks 

 among such Roses as Princess Bonnie and CJotilde 

 Soupert. As a pot Rose for Winter blooming it is espe- 

 cially good. The flowers are large, full and double: 

 both in bud and full-blown flower they are beautiful. 

 Color orange yellow, and as the weather becomes cool- 

 er the shade deepens until it reaches rich salmon tints

BOUGERE 



Old and Famous 

 Anyone who has seen this grand old sort growing in 

 open ground will agree with us that it deserves the 

 brightest words of praise we can give it. Like Bon Si- 

 Jrve, it is old. having been introduced in 1832. Sine- 

 then it has been tried and found to be of rare value for 

 general planting. The flowers are unusually large, deep 

 full and double: they are supported on long, stiff stems 

 and are produced in bountiful abundance throughout 

 the growing season. In color they are bronze rose or 

 violet crimson, delicately shaded with lilac: c:-. 

 ingly sweet, remarkably hardy. 



COQUETTE DE LYON

 that a detailed description is hardly required. It is un- 

 questionably one of the finest yellow Tea Roses in cul-

 canary yellow— wonderfully beautiful and distinct. 

 The flowers are extra large, finely formed, deep and 

 double. The buds are exceedingly graceful^long and

 orous grower ond a constant and Bteady bloomer. We 

 sell thousands of this grand sort annually.

its beautiful flowers in great profusion. The color is 

 dark crimson rose, very attractive and pretty.

 rious colors, ranging from orange to capuchin red and 

 carmine, making the appearance that of a number of 

 varieties blooming at once. The buds are particularly 

 beautiful, large, pointed and well made; when open- 

 ing they are perfect, splendid for cutting. Specially

 ers are produced continually throughout the -

 grower, free bloomer and splendid for cutting, :£<>

 plants, -lO cts. each.

 popular pink Tea, Catharine Mermet, but of a fine, 

 clear, dark pink, much deeper and more constant in 

 color than Mermet; very desirable; does exceedingly 

 well in the open ground, and is also valuable for forc- 

 ing. <See illustration, page 50).

 gant buds: color clear shining pink, with deli< 

 shaded amber and fawn center: large globular flow- 

 ers: one of the very finest varieties; a strong, healthy

 open-ground planting and forcing under glass.

 recommended it because of its superior merits. It is a 

 rapid, strong-growing variety, with splendid foliage.

 outdoor cultivation it is hard to beat. The flowers are 

 borne with great profusion, and in form, size a: 

 stance have every feature to make them desirable; 

 they are perfectly double. The color is pure creamy 

 white, sometimes faintly tinged with pale lemon and 

 blush. Indeed, this is a most beautiful R< -
