XEW ROSES — Continued.

" The winner of the first 

 prize at the Panama Pacific 

 Exposition for the best new- 

 seedling Rose unknown at 

 that time. Color, a deep, 

 pure Indian yellow, with 

 slightly deeper centre, with 

 long, pointed buds, pro- 

 duced on magnificent stems. 

 Very free bloomer and a 

 good, strong, vigorous 

 grower. 



MISS WILMOT— A very 

 distinct, charming variety 

 that is sure to please the 

 most particular grower of 

 Roses. The color is a 

 uniform, soft, sulphury 

 cream, with a painted 

 blush toward the edges. 

 In shape and form this 

 Rose is a model of perfection, every flower of perfect 

 shape and formation and produced in a wonderful pro- 

 fusion. A magnificent garden variety. 



MRS. HUGH DICKSON— A Rose suitable for any pur- 

 pose, delightfully perfumed, producing its large flowers 

 in great profusion. The petals are large and of excellent 

 substance, and the flowers of superb build, with high- 

 pointed centers, with a beautiful outline. Color, a deep 

 cream, with heavy profusion of orange and apricot. 

 Splendid grower. 



MRS. HENRY WINNETT— Remarkably strong grower, 

 producing strong shoot, each one crowned with a mag- 

 nificent bloom, well above the foliage, excellent for 

 forcing and equally as good for outdoor 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 Rich- 

 mond, a color that has proven to be very popular, and 



we consider it one of the best crimson varieties. 



Buds long and well formed. 



Claimed by the introducer to be one of the finest 

 Hybrid Tea Roses grown, and trials have substan- 

 tiated 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 Beaut}-. Buds handsomely long and 

 pointed, while the beauty of form and ever increas- 

 ing wealth of color is maintained until the last petal 

 falls. Strong budded plants only. $2.00 each, by 

 express. Stock limited. 



^ALEXANDER HILL GRAY (Tea)— Color, deep 

 lemon-yellow, deepening as the flower expands, 

 does not fade in the open ground. Buds and blooms 

 of perfect formation and of great substance, and 

 produced in the greatest abundance throughout the 

 entire season. 



MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER (Tea Rose)— The 

 color is very hard to describe, being a shade of 

 brilliant clear rose or bright peach-pink. It is a 

 wonderful grower and bloomer, producing great 

 numbers of strong shoots, each tipp-ed with a large 

 handsome long pointed bud. These shoots form 

 the st-em, from 3 to 4 feet in length. The flowers 

 are very large, well formed and full, petals of 

 good substance. A very fine garden Rose, being 

 perfectly hardy in any localit}- and free from in- 

 sects and disease; also used very extensively as a 

 forcing Rose.
