Silver Columbia 



Hybrid Tea — Illustrated in natural color on 

 front cover. A Sport of Columbia. From the 

 illustration you will note the magnificent buds 

 and blooms it produces on great stout stems. One 

 of the greatest bloomers we have ever seen, being 

 one mass of gorgeous blooms the entire growing 

 season. It is a strong healthy grower, free from 

 insects and disease, thus making it a rose that will 

 become the most popular in America because any- 

 one can succeed with it. Needs no petting or 

 coaxing. It just grows anywhere. Foliage dark 

 green. Does well indoors as well as in the open 

 ground. Hardy everywhere. Excellent for cut- 

 ting. In its color also lies one of the chief charms, 

 being a beautiful clear shade of deep silver pink 

 deepening towards the center. Fragrant as an 

 American Beauty. Awarded Silver Medal by the 

 American Rose Society. Price 50c each for first 

 size plant, postpaid, $1.50 for 2-year-old 

 plants, by express collect. All on own roots.
