CHOICEST 



Our collection of Roses is second to none in the 

 country, as we have eliminated all undesirable sorts 

 and are offering nothing but those that make fine 

 flowers and free bloomers. 



DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING 



Directions for Flanting: Plant in an open, airy 

 situation unshaded by trees. Itoses are very partial 

 to clay loam, but will do well in any ordinary soil 

 if enriched with bone. Dig the soli up thoroughly to 

 the depth of 12 or 15 inches, as rose roots pene- 

 trate deeply. Bush Roses may be best arranged to- 

 gether in beds or borders. The size and shape of 

 a bed, wherever planted, should be made to fit the 

 situation. Although in warm localities, where plant 

 growth is luxurious, a greater interval is necessary, 

 18 inches apart is generally accepted as the proper 

 spacing. On this basis, beds 4 '/a feet wide will take 

 three rows, and if sis feet long, will require a dozen 

 plants. Or a dozen plants would occupy a 3-foot 

 bed with two rows nine feet long. Delightful ar- 

 rangements in odd shapes, and by combination of 

 various classes, may be worked out according to the 

 individual planter's fancy and ingenuity. 



FIXK MAMAN COCKET (Tea). 



Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed by 

 this variety is well nigh marvelous, and cannot be seen 

 in any other Rose we know. The buds are beautiful ; 

 large, full and firm and elegantly pointed ; as they ex- 

 pand they show great depth and richness. Flowers su- 

 perb when open, 

 extra large, per- 

 fectly double and 

 of splendid sub- 

 Stance. Terfectly 

 hardy in all sec 

 tions of the 

 country. T h e 

 color is clear, rich 

 pink, changing to 

 silvery-rose. 



RADIANCE 



A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying beautiful rich and 

 opaline-pink tints in the open flower. The form is fine, 

 largest size and full, with cupped petals. It blooms con- 

 stantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is a superior Rose. 



WHITE MAMAN COCHET. 

 Or Priscilla — The Charming New White Tea Rose. 



It belongs to the Tea class, being a child of that grandest 

 of bedding or outdoor Roses, Maman Cochet, and is hardy- in 

 Northern Ohio with slight protection in winter. Its habit is 

 exceedingly strong and upright, like its parent, and it pos- 

 sesses the same large, beautiful healthy foliage, and is a 

 most profuse and constant bloomer. The flowers are of enor- 

 mous size, remarkably round and full; pure, clear, snowy- 

 white throughout, and are delightfully tea-scented. It is by 

 far the finest and most reliable white bedding Rose yet 

 produced. 



William. R. Smith. — A vigorous grower, ex- 

 cellent in quality, bountiful in bloom. It will 

 ithrive abundantly in almost any location. The 

 flowers are large, full and double, most ex- 

 quisite in form, and the petals are so firm 

 they look like wax, softly curled. Color 

 cream with flesh tint tips, buff yellow base, 

 and the center and heart of pink. Perfect 

 buds. The flowers are borne on long stems. 

 Fragrance delightful. Blooms profusely. 



Safrano. — Saffron and apricot; one of the 

 oldest and best Roses; in the bud shape it can hardly 

 be surpassed. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. — One of the most desirable 

 White Roses for summer bedding; large flowers, pro- 

 duced in great profusion; a strong, healthy grower, with 

 large foliage. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. — In bud a deep Indian yellow, opening to 

 broad margin of light yellow on inner edge, and to light yellow 

 when fully open.
