 is immense in size, finely formed, with long and beau- 

 tiful buds. Color, rich, creamy white, shaded with 

 golden yellow and clear rose, of indescribable beauty.

 ing a great profusion of large crimson flowers; very 

 fragrant.

 Tea Roses. A very free bloomer, producing clear, 

 shining pink flowers, the center being shaded with 

 fawn and amber. Is a good Rose for open-ground 

 culture and forcing under glass.

 poses. Color a fine chamois- 

 red, richly shaded with violet- 

 crimson; a constant bloomer.

 One of the most beautiful 

 Roses, unsurpassed for outdoor 

 culture.

Gentlemen: 



Please send me 

 your New Guide 

 to Rose Culture 

 for 1913, as ad- 

 vertised. I never 

 lost a bush out 

 of the 15 I got 

 years ago. They 

 are all beautiful.

This is one of the best yellow Tea Roses for open- 

 ground culture. The flowers are extra large, deep and

 and steady bloomer.

Roses, always in bloom. Flowers large, full and 



double. Color primrose-yellow, almost white, 



giving the flower a distinct and finished appearance.

full and double flowers all through the season. The 

 color is creamy white, with rosy centers and very 

 fragrant. This is one of the Roses that should be 

 seen in every garden; as the bush grows to large 

 size it is continually in bloom. 



DUCHESS DE BRABANT. A very vigorous and healthy 

 variety, producing large blossoms which are beau- 

 tiful in buds or open flower. The color is a fine 

 shade of soft, rosy pink, which deepens to bright 

 rose. A special favorite.

 and a sturdy, vigorous grower, producing beauti- 

 ful yellow flowers, tinged with orange, changing to
