A magnificent Hybrid Tea Rose of a creamy white, 

 with buff center, outer petals being a delightful 

 shade of salmon-rose passing to a salmon-pink. The 

 flowers are extremely large, full and perfect in form. 

 The bush is a particularly strong grower, very hardy 

 and always in bloom. Altogether this is one of the 

 Roses you cannot well do without. 

 MME. RENE COLLETTE. Beautiful buds, long and 

 pointed on long, upright stems. Buds rich pink, 

 shaded salmon, opening light orange shaded pink. 

 FRAU GEHEIMART DR. STAUB. Deep brilliant red. 

 Large and full. Strong grower, forming a com- 

 pact bush, with broad, smooth foliage of a brilliant 

 green. Buds long and pointed, on long stems. 

 Opens slowly, but well. Color is glowing wine 

 without a ring of shadow. An excellent keeper. 

 A superb garden Rose, being in constant bloom. 

 OTTO VON BISMARCK. The foliage of this Rose 

 is like Mad. Caroline Testout. The bloom is simi- 

 lar to the La France. A vigorous grower, of free 

 branching habit, blooming freely and continuously 

 throughout the season. An excellent bedding 

 Rose. 

 CHATEAU DE CLOS VOUGET. A magnificent Hybrid 

 Tea Rose of wondrous color — the "blackest" of 

 all Roses, each petal appearing as- if cut from deep 

 crimson velvet. It is a strong, lusty grower, and 

 one of the most beautiful of all dark-colored 

 Roses.

This magnificent Rose, introduced here from 

 Europe, has unsurpassed beauty of a totally distinct

 hardy and vigorous, producing flowers profusely in 

 the open ground all through the summer. The color 

 is almost pure white, though sometimes flushed with 

 pink; petals large and of fine form. 20c. each, 3 for 

 50c.; larger size, 25c. each, postpaid; two-year-old 

 plants, 45c. each. 



MAD. JOSEPH COMBET. Cream white with rich rose 

 shading. Strong, upright grower. Thornless. 

 Opens well. Resembles Souv. de la Malmaison. 

 Has a little of the climbing tendency. 



FRAU OBERHOFGARTNER SINGER. This is a for- 

 eign Rose, being a cross between Mad. Jules Mar- 

 gottin and Mad. Eugene Boullet. A strong, upright 

 grower. Blooms borne on long, stiff stems; buds 

 very long and pointed: beautifully formed. Silvery 

 white around outer edge shaded to a soft blush 

 rose. Buds open freely, full and double. Free 

 blooming, mostly single, sometimes two and three 

 on a stem. An excellent variety for cut flowers.
