 a sensation wherever grown. Strong, vigorous pot-

MY MARYLAND. Handsome in bud and flower. A 

 rare combination of a poetic name and exquisite 

 beauty has made this Hybrid Tea Rose a dangerous 

 rival of Killarney. Its brilliant, lively shade of pink 

 and beauty of form is without a superior, and all 

 summer through large, perfectly double, magnificent 

 flowers, rich in fragrance, are borne on long, stiff 

 stems, growing from a sturdy, fine shaped bush, 

 which in itself, is a distinct ornament to the gar- 

 den. A great outdoor Rose. Extremely hardy. 

 HELEN MILLS. It blooms as freely as any Tea Rose. 

 The flowers are glorious in form, perfectly molded, 

 with large, heavy petals of splendid substance, form- 

 ing a long, pointed bud, while the open flower is 

 large, full, deep and well filled. The fragrance is 

 delicious beyond description, while the color is an 

 exquisite shade of pink, daintily and peculiarly 

 clouded with lighter shades.

A MAGNIFICENT NEW CRIMSON GARDEN ROSE 



"As large as American Beauty, as double as La France and 

 as red as Richmond," is the enthusiastic way the originator 

 describes this beautiful new Hybrid Tea Bush Rose. The color 

 is vivid scarlet-crimson, and the flowers are marvels of beauty, 

 large, bold and of splendid substance. It has a strong, disease- 

 resisting constitution, makes a rapid growth and throws up a 

 profusion of canes from the roots and is always blooming. 

 As an all-round garden bush Rose it has no superior. 

 MAGNAFRANO. One of the grandest Roses in cultivation. The 

 flowers are very large, full, deep and double, and of delight- 

 ful fragrance. The color of this magnificent Rose is bright, 

 shining rose, with rich shadings of deeper tones. It forms a 

 strong, sturdy, upright bush, bearing its gorgeous flowers 

 on long, stiff stems, making it especially valuable for cutting. 

 MME. LAURE DUPONT. A charming, bright carmine-red Rose 

 with shadings of rose, white and carmine in its petals. The 

 flowers are full, double and particularly handsome when fully 

 open. 

 MME. MELANIE SOUPERT. The flowers are bright golden- 

 yellow suffused with faint tinges of pink, with a handsome 

 and distinct form, making a Rose of great beauty. It is a 

 strong, vigorous grower, very hardy, and forms a handsome 

 bush in the garden. 

 MME. PHILIPPE RIVOIRE. One of the handsomest of the yel- 

 low Roses, its color ranging from bright apricot-yellow to 

 shades of pale carmine. The bush is a stout, vigorous grower 

 and is constantly in bloom with a profusion of well- 

 formed, large, double flowers. 



MRS. CHARLES DINGEE. The color is pure golden 

 yellow, and the form of the flower is magnificent. 

 This is a Rose among Roses, and its introduction 

 marks an important epoch in the Rose World. 



MRS. A. R. WADDELL. This is one of the most 

 beautiful Hybrid Tea Roses in bud and flower of 

 any grown. The flowers are of the largest size, 

 of perfect form, and possess wonderful keeping 

 qualities. The coloring is most brilliant in effect, 

 being a rosy scarlet, opening rosy salmon, with 

 reverse of petals rosy scarlet. The bush is a sturdy, 

 erect and vigorous grower, requiring but little care. 



NITA WILDON. An exquisite, new, Everblooming Tea 

 Rose. Imagine a Rose of perfect form and texture, 

 with each petal of a soft, exquisite ivory-white, tinted 

 on the edge with the faintest tinge of blush-pink, 

 and you will have an idea of the grace and beauty 

 of this new Rose. The bush is of fine shape, 

 covered with large, bright green foliage and the 

 flowers are held up well on long, stiff stems, 

 making a highly desirable Rose for the corsage or 

 home decoration. 



LADY FAIRE. Light carmine-rose shaded salmon. 

 Blooms large, full and double, perfect shape. Free 

 bloomer. 



LA GALISSIERE. This new Hybrid Tea Bush Rose is 

 similar to, but better than Mad. Caroline Testout. 

 The flowers are of large size, very full and double, 

 and of exquisite form, bright deep shining pink 

 color; the buds are large, long and full. Blooms 

 continuously.
