HYBRID TEA ROSES-Continued 



Mrs, E. T. Stotesbury 



One of the many new varieties of Roses recently produced 

 in this country that will soon become a popular favorite is 

 our prediction for this Glorious Hybrid Tea. A cross between 

 My Maryland, Jos. Hill and Milady. It has the desirable 

 features of all and apparently none of 

 the faults, retaining the magnificent 

 bud of My Maryland and the double 

 flower when fully opened of Milady, 

 making it the most perfect Rose we 

 have ever seen. In its color lies one of 

 its principal charms, being a soft 

 silvery flesh pink, deepening towards 

 the center to very deep pink, outer 

 edges of the petals tinted silvery rose, 

 making a combination found in so few. 

 Strong grower, producing the blooms 

 on long, stiff stems, well above the foli- 

 age. Free from disease and insect 

 pests. An excellent variety for cutting. 

 No condition of weather seems to 

 affect it in any way. 

 LILLIAN MOORE— The winner of the 

 first prize at the Panama Pacific 

 Exposition for the best new seeding 

 Rose unknown at that time. Color, 

 a deep pure Indian yellow, with slightly deeper center, 

 with long, pointed buds, produced on magnificent stems. 

 Very free bloomer and a good, strong, vigorous grower. 

 Two-year plants only, at $1.50 each by express. 

 *BESSIE BROWN— The plants are hardy and vigor- 

 ous, 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. 

 FLORENCE PEMBERTON— Distinctive creamy 

 white, shaded rose; petals bordered rosy salmon; 

 flowers large, very full and beautifully formed. Soon 

 produces large, magnificent bush constantly in bloom. 

 *ETOILE DE FRANCE— The strong, upright bushes 

 have beautiful bronze-green foliage, which is not 

 subject to insect attacks. The bushes are blooming 

 constantly, producing large, massive, deep, full cup- 

 formed flowers on magnificent, long, stiff stems of a 

 clear red or velvety crimson. 

 H. D. M. BARTON— A grand bedding rose of the Gen. 

 McArthur type. Strong grower. Hardy everywhere. 

 Awarded Gold Medal by the Irish Rose Society. 

 Buds long and pointed, opening full and double, of a 

 deep rich velvety crimson of good size. 

 LOS ANGELES — Claimed by the introducer to be one 

 of the finest Hybrid Tea Roses grown, and trials have 

 substantiated his claim. Growth vigorous, producing 

 in continued succession during growing season strong 

 shoots, each one bearing an enormous flower of a 

 luminous flame pink, toned with coral and shaded with 

 translucent gold at the base of petal. Fragrant as an 

 American Beauty. Buds handsomely long and 

 pointed, while the beauty of form and ever-increasing 

 wealth of color is maintained until the last petal falls. 

 Strong budded plants only. $1.50 each, by 

 express. Stock limited.
