Five Superb New Roses 



ILLUSTRATED ON OPPOSITE PAGE 



The Finest Creations of the Rosarian's Art ever Offered in One Group by 



this or any other Establishment 



Edward Mawley 



A Hybrid Tea Rose named in honor of Edward Maw- 

 ley, one of the best known of British Rosarians. The 

 introducer describes it as having the most marvelous 

 outstanding qualities and the most wonderful Rose 

 yet introduced. They do not hesitate in stating that it 

 is the finest dark crimson Hybrid Tea Rose. It is an 

 enormous big-petaled Rose, much larger than the 

 Melainie Soupert, a Rose which it resembles in form, 

 and the beautiful rich color of Louis Van Houtte, only 

 with a more velvety shading upon the inside of the 

 petals. This Rose has been awarded the gold medal 

 of the National Rose Society. Very free blooming, 

 with a perfect habit of growth, suitable for garden, 

 exhibition or forcing purposes. Hardy in all localities. 

 Price of strong one-year-old plants on own roots, 25c. 

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



Radiance 



A glorious new extra hardy Hybrid Tea Rose which 

 originated within a few miles of West Grove. Awarded 

 Silver Medal by the American Rose Society as the best 

 bedding Rose at the Hartford, Conn., gardens this past 

 season. The flowers are a beautiful blending of shades 

 of carmine-rose, with opal and coppery reflections. It 

 is of splendid, sturdy growth, constantly in bloom, and 

 is bound to become one of the leading garden Roses. 

 We cannot say too much in its praise, as our stock is 

 limited. Orders will be filled in strict rotation. First 

 size, from, pots 3 inches in diameter, 25c. each; larger 

 size, 35c. each; two-year-old plants, 50c. each. 



Lady Hillingdon 



One of the latest introductions of the Tea class, and 

 has taken the medal over all yellow Roses, the color 

 being one almost beyond description, apricot yellow 

 shaded to orange on the outer edge of the petal, 

 becoming deeper and more intense toward the center 

 of the bloom. The color does not fade after the 

 bloom is cut, but invariably becomes darker. Buds 

 are produced on long, strong, wiry stems, well above 

 the foliage, producing a slender and graceful effect. A 

 valuable addition to any amateur's Rose garden, as 

 well as to the professional grower, all of whom will 

 find in this Rose the color that they have long desired. 

 A strong, hearty, healthful grower. Price, strong one- 

 year-old plants, on their own roots, 25c. each, post- 

 paid; two-year-old plants, 50c. e?ich. 



Jonkheer J. L. Mock 



A Hybrid Tea called the Giant Pink from Holland. 

 Of distinctive merit, being an extremely strong 

 grower, one of the strongest of the Hybrid Tea class, 

 blooming as it does with the greatest freedom, the 

 buds carried on long, stiff, erect stems, of the very 

 largest size imaginable to obtain in a Rose bloom and 

 still retain its perfect formation. Very fragrant. Color, 

 clear imperial pink on the order of the La France. 

 This Rose has produced a sensation wherever grown. 

 We are fortunate to be able to offer to our customers 

 strong plants, on their own roots, at 25c. each, post- 

 paid, by mail; two-year-old plants, 60c. each. 



Mrs. George Shawyer 



(Tea Rose). This is one of the newer varieties introduced by the growers of Lady Hillingdon. We 

 have not seen a Rose that has met with such universal appreciation by both the amateur and professional grower, 

 and has won awards in almost every place shown since it was introduced, both in this country and Europe. 

 The color is one very hard to describe, being a shade of brilliant clear rose or bright peach-pink. It is a 

 wonderful grower and bloomer, producing great numbers of strong shoots, each shoot tipped with a bud. 

 These shoots form the stem, from 3 to 4 feet in length. The flowers are very large, well formed and full, 

 petals of good substance. A very fine garden Rose, as well as a forcing Rose. The illustration on the 

 opposite page gives but a faint idea of the richness of color of this magnificent Rose. Price of strong pot-grown 

 plants, 25c. each; two-year-old plants, 50c. each. The stock is grown on own roots, not budded.
