 on long, straight, upright stems. Buds long and 

 pointed, opening full and double, perfect form, mas- 

 sive petals. Resembles American Beauty in shape 

 and size. Strong, healthy grower, excellent foliage, 

 constant bloomer, making an ideal garden Rose. 



*PRIMA DONNA— A Hybrid Tea. Claimed to be 

 one of the strongest growing Hybrid Tea Roses in 

 cultivation, and as free a bloomer as any of the 

 Tea Roses. Color a deep rose-pink, petals waved 

 or undulated on the edges, giving it an elegance 

 of form seen in no other Rose. Good for forcing 

 or outdoor growing. Buds long and pointed, open- 

 ing full and double. 



KILLARNEY BRILLIANT— An offspring of Pink 

 Killarney, but several shades darker, the color be- 

 ing a beautiful shade of brilliant red. Habit of 

 growth same as Killarney. Just as free bloomer 



FLORENCE FORRESTER— Clear snow-white 

 with a lemon tinge; as the flowers age they become 

 a pure white; the blooms are even larger than Paul 

 Neyron. 



PERLE VON GODESBERG— The color is a rich 

 canary-yellow with shadings of saffron. The flow- 

 ers are massive in size, full and double, with the 

 petals elegantly recurved. 



HYBRID TEA ROSES — Continued. 



Ophelia 



The color is one so difficult to describe that any 

 description can only be a partial one, and gives but 

 a faint idea of the superb beauty and richness of 

 the shades. Salmon-flesh, shaded with rose. Buds 

 of unusual attractiveness, opening full and double. 

 Habit excellent, growth strong, produces 

 flowers on long stems, well up above the fo- 

 ^ liage, and in great profusion all summer. 



Hardy in almost all localities. Grand for 

 forcing or outdoors. 

 J *MRS. A. R. WADDELL— This is one of 

 the most beautiful Hybrid Tea Roses in 

 bud and flower of any grown. The flow- 

 ers are of the largest size, of perfect form, and 

 possess wonderful keeping qualities. The color- 

 ing is most brilliant in effect, being a rosy-scarlet, 

 opening rosy-salmon, with reverse of petals rosy- 

 scarlet. The bush is a sturdy, erect and vigorous 

 grower, requiring but little care. 

 MELODY — A lovely shade of yellow, deepening to 

 apricot in the center, perfect in form and very 

 double. It is one of the handsomest yellow Roses 

 we have ever seen and as a garden Rose cannot 

 be surpassed. The bush is hardy, vigorous and 

 constantly in bloom. 

 MRS. DUDLEY CROSS— In color, a pale chamois, 

 or light yellow fainty flushed with rose. The 

 flowers are beautifully formed, large, full and 

 double, and are of splendid substance, borne con- 

 tinuously on long, stiff stems, and for cutting it is 

 most valuable. Bears its handsome flowers in 

 great profusion all summer through. 

 PRINCE OF BULGARIA— Not the least of its 

 charms is the large, bright green foliage, and the 

 buds are simply grand. The flowers are large and 

 quite full; outer petals superb rosy-flesh with the 

 index petals of a slightly lighter tint. 

 TRIUMPH DE PERNET PERE— A French Rose 

 originated by Jean Pernet, of France. Flowers 

 large, with broad, thick petals, and long pointed 

 buds. Delicious Tea fragrance. Clear magenta-red 

 passing to bright crimson. 

 WELLESLEY — A most magnificent garden Rose of 

 a beautiful shade of pink, vigorous, healthy grow- 

 ers; remarkably free-flowering, with fine keeping 

 qualities; most valuable Rose for garden, as it is 

 particularly adapted for outdoor culture. Blooms 

 produced on long, stiff stems. 

 NATALIE BOTTNER— Blooms of bright lemon- 

 yellow, borne on long, stiff stems, very vigorous 

 and free-blooming. Blooms resemble the famous 

 Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, and if you will imagine 

 a bloom of this size only being lemon-yellow, it is 

 bound to become one of the most popular yellow 

 Hybrid Tea Roses in existence.
