NO. 1. A BRILLIANT-RED HARDY 

 EVER-BLOOMING ROSE. 



GRUSS AU TEPLITZ. 



This is still the finest, brilliant- 

 red, hardy, ever-blooming Rose 

 grown. It has all the qualities 

 desired in a garden Rose. The 

 color when first opening is a very dark, rich crimson; as the flower 

 opens it discloses bright scarlet, shading to velvety, fiery red; one 

 of the very brightest Roses we know. The flowers on well grown 

 and established plants are large and full, very showy and handsome. 

 When the plants are young they are semi-double. It is a prodigous 

 bloomer, one of the freest known, remarkably healthy and vigorous 

 almost immune from all diseases. No Rose garden is complete 

 without this grand variety. 



Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 2d size, 40c. each, S4.00 

 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1-50 per doz. 



NO. 2. A WHITE, HARDY EVER- This is the ideal, hardy, 

 BLOOMING ROSE. white, ever-blooming Rose. 



WHITE MAMAN COCHET. :t ] ™\ M th , e requisites of the 



perfect garden Rose — s u b- 

 stance, size, hardiness, fragrance, vigor and profusion of bloom, 

 rivalling the best of the monthly, ever-blooming varieties in the 

 latter all-important quality. It is a "sport" from the well known 

 and valued Rose, "Maman Cochet," inheriting all its fine qualities. 

 The buds are long and pointed, opening gracefully, the expanded 

 flowers are full and firm, the ideal shape for a Rose, they keep a 

 long time when cut. We cannot speak too highly of it, the fact that 

 we include it in the 'Admirable Collection" is sufficient to indicate 

 our high opinion of it. Wherever fine Roses are grown or a hardy, 

 white, ever-blooming Rose is wanted, the White Maman Cochet 

 should be planted.

WM. R. SMITH. ™}y A is an American- 



raised, pedigree seed- 

 ling. It inherits hardiness, constitution, fine habit, grand foliage 

 and superb flowers. Where there are so many good qualities it 

 is difficult to emphasize the leading one, but in this variety we 

 would name its ability to resist disease. The color is a deep ivory 

 white overlaid with a good, bright shade of pink. As a summer Rose 

 we predict it will rank with the best if not actually surpass them.

 BLOOMING RED ROSE, 



CARDINAL. 



Of all the Roses which we have in-

 has measured up better to the ideal 

 standard than this. Habit and bloom 

 are beyond criticism. "Cardinal" is a seedling of "Liberty" hy-

 It has amply fulfilled its promise of being the most valuable red 

 Rose, for the garden, in the hardy, ever-blooming class. Color, a 

 rich cardinal-red. Is a very strong grower with a superb flower. 

 Its fragrance is very strong and sweet. The color of the flowers 

 holds good in the hottest weather; the form is such that they remain 

 perfect during the heated term; the health and vigor of the plant 

 enable it to produce flowers constantly during the entire season. We 

 have ieceived hundreds of testimonials from purchasers, attesting 

 its grand qualities.
