General McArthur 



To those who prefer a Rose with full color, 

 we can recommend none more highly than this 

 gorgeous crimson-scarlet Hybrid Tea. It is hardy 

 in practically all localities, and as an outdoor Rose 

 it has no superior. Of strong, vigorous, healthy 

 growth, branching freely, it produces its wonder- 

 ful blooms profusely from May until October. 

 Every shoot carries a large, double, well-formed 

 flower of exquisite fragrance, and splendid last- 

 ing quality. First size, 20c. each; larger size, 30c. 

 each; two-year-old plants, 45c. each. 



Melody 



A lovely shade of yellow, deepening to apricot 

 in the center, perfect in form and very double. It 

 is one of the handsomest yellow Roses we have 

 ever seen and as a garden Rose cannot be sur- 

 passed. The bush is hardy, vigorous and con- 

 stantly in bloom. First size, 25c. each; larger size, 

 30c. each; strong two-year-old plants, 50c. each. 



Ideal 



A well-named Rose, as it is a free and continuous 

 bloomer with fine buds. Flowers are similar to the 

 Bridesmaid in color, but like La France in shape and 

 form. A perfect ideal in every way, as it is a grand 

 garden Rose. Blooms produced on long stems above 

 the foliage. Hardy. 20c. each, 3 for 50c.; larger size, 

 25c. each; two-year-old plants, 45c. each.
