 magnificent bloom, quite dazzling in irs velvety brilliance. 

 As >rx>n as thoroughly established in the soil it sends out 

 long, stiff growth with a bud on every shoot. Produces, 

 naturally, stems 2 to 3 reet in length; each plant keep s _-

 it is a good summer Rose. It is an ea5; grower, and has

National Emblem 



Owing to its magnificent color and formation 



this Rose was named National Emblem, and no 



Rose in our estimation has a better right to the 



honor of being the Standard Bearer. Its color is 



a deep crimson overlaid velvety crimson, shading 



:: ermilion toward the edges. Buds long and 



pointed on stout stems, opening full and double, 



each one coming to perfection, and produced in

Plants make a gorgeous sight owing 



to the brightness of the blooms and 



the luster of the foliage, being entirely 



free from mildew. 



"BRITISH QUEEN— By some said ro be the 

 finest white Rose in existence, surpassing in 

 beauty and form any other white Rose. The 

 flower resembles Frau Karl Druschki and ^"hite 

 Maman Cochet, with the Tea Rose form and 

 refinement. Flowers freely all summer long 

 from early spring until frost. Buds sometimes 

 show a slight flush, which disappears as the 

 flower expands. Strong grower. Hardy. 

 Awarded a gold medal by the National Rose

B F. R. PATZER— A Rose of striking and 

 pleasing appearance, owing to the delicate 

 blending of color, which is a creamy-buff, 

 with the reverse of petals a delicate warm 

 pink, and as they expand the color becomes a 

 light orange pink, which produces a most charm- 

 ing combination. Strong, vigorous grower- 

 Produces numerous branches, each one crowned 

 with magnificent bud and bloom, on long, stiff 

 s:ems, well above the foliage. Hardy and an 

 excellent garden variety.

 door growth, being extremely hardy. Foliage fine 

 dark green and free from insects and disease. 

 Color a bright shade of crimson, not quite as dark 

 as Hadley, but not as light as Richmond, a color

 sider it one of the best crimson varieties. Buds
