 ing, producing flowers of large size, very double, full 

 and fragrant; beautiful buds, good habit, and an ex- 

 cellent variety in every way. The color is a bril- 

 liant carmine, deeply shaded with, violet- 

 purple, sometimes tinged with buff, 



LOUIS RICHARD 



This is a grand bedding rose. Color coppery rose, 

 shaded carmine and crimson; a tremendous bloomer. 

 Very handsome and desirable in every way. 



LUCIOLE 



An Excellent Variety 

 A grandly beautiful Rose; the flowers are extra 

 large, somewhat cupped form, but quite full and 

 double; color clear cherry red, with rich golden- 

 yellow centre, elegantly shaded, delightfully per- 

 fumed. In the open ground this lovely variety makes 

 a strong, quick growth, producing its flowers remark- 

 ably early and continuing to bloom profusely. 



MAD. AGATHA NABONNAND 



This superbly beautiful Rose resembles in color the 

 delicate hues seen in the inside of the fairest deep- 

 sea shells; rosy flesh, bathed in golden amber; im- 

 mense egg-shaped buds, broad shell-like petals, large, 

 full flowers; exceedingly sweet. Careful trials have 

 proved its value as an outdoor Rose. 



MADAME CAMILLE 



Delicate rosy flush, with salmon and lavender 

 shades. A fine Rose for amateur culture, as it is a 

 strong grower with flowers of the largest size and 

 not liable to disease. 



MADAME CUSIN 



A Bright Tea Rose 

 One of the good, strong growing, free blooming 

 Roses that we cannot have too many of. The flowers 

 are strikingly beautiful; color bright purplish crim- 

 son, base of inside petals sometimes streaked with 

 white. Large, full, double flowers, very sweet and 

 handsome. 15c. each; 4 for 50c.; 9 for $1. 



MADAME DE VATRY 



One of the Brightest Roses 

 We consider this splendid varietj r to be not only 

 one of the brightest, but one of the very best and 

 most satisfactory Roses for general planting, es- 

 pecially outdoors. It makes big clean buds of great 

 beauty and opens well, snowing the large, full, dou- 

 ble flowers to great advantage. The color is a rich 

 crimson scarlet, bright and beautiful. Blooms freely 

 and constantly; grows strong and healthy; holds the 

 foliage well. In every way a fine Rose. 



MADAME MARTHA DU BOURG 



Immensely Free-Blooming 

 One of the prettiest and best Roses; flowers cup- 

 shaped, with wonderfully pretty crimped petals; giv- 

 ing them a distinct lace-like appearance. The color is 

 fine creamy pink, with rosy flesh centre; the buds, 

 sometimes the flowers, are beautiful apricot yellow, 

 flushed with orange red. This lovely variety in open 

 ground is an immense bloomer, producing a pro- 

 digious amount of blooms throughout the season, 

 being constantly covered with flowers. 



MADAME ELIE LAMBERT 



An Extra Large Rose 

 The flowers are extra large, fine globular form, 

 very full and well built up. The French description 

 says it is the absolute perfection of form. Color a 

 rich creamy white, faintly tinted with pale golden 

 yellow, and exquisitely bordered and tinted with soft 

 rosy flesh; very beautiful and sweet; petals large 

 and of good substance: constant and profuse bloomer; 

 vigorous and healthy grower— in short, a magnificent 

 Rose in every way. 





One of the best and freest flowering, ever-bloom- 

 ing Roses in cultivation, equally good for open-ground 

 cultivation and pot culture. Outdoors it is especially 

 good, being unusually hardy, very vigorous and a 

 certain, continuous and free bloomer. On a single 

 plant only nine months old 143 buds and flowers were 

 counted. Flowers large, full and double; color creamy 

 white. 



MEDEA 



A new Rose of exquisite kind and color, ranked 

 by many enthusiasts as the best yellow Tea Rose. 

 The flowers are of large size, perfectly double to the 

 centre and perfect in shape both in bud and blossom. 

 The color is magnificent— deep, rich lemon yellow 

 with creamy yellow centre with tints of sulphur. It 

 is beautiful beyond description. A strong healthy 

 grower and one of the grandest Roses in this book. 

 15c. each; 4 for 50c; «J for $1. 



MADAME LOUIS PATRY 



An Extremely Beautiful New Tea Rose 



The buds are fine, large and tapering, of excellent 

 form and substance; extra large, well-filled flowers, 

 opening nicely; color rich silvery pink, delicately 

 shaded with fine rosy blush; deliciously tea scented; 

 very double and attractive; we consider this one of 

 the best new Tea Roses; a good compact grower and 

 constant bloomer (see illustration page 50). 



META 



A superb variety of novel coloring; crushed straw- 

 berry suffused with saffron; base of petals coppery 

 yellow. Buds long and pointed. Good habit of growth 

 and prolific bloomer,
