HARDY EVERBLOOMING 

 TEA. ROSES — Continued. 



Wm. R. Smith 



Especially suited for outdoor planting and cut- 

 ting purposes. The soft blending of the salmon- 

 pinks, rose-pinks, and the magnificent flesh tints 

 resemble the blush of a maiden's cheek. The flow- 

 ers are large, full and double, and most exquisitely- 

 formed. The petals are so firm they look like 

 wax. Perfect buds. The flowers are borne on 

 long, strong stems. 



PERLE DES JARDINS (Pearl of the Garden)— 



The color is a clear golden-yellow, of a beautiful 

 shade, and is entirely distinct from any other 

 variety; the flowers are large, full, of globular 

 form, with great depth and substance, richly 

 perfumed, and very beautiful in every way. 



CORNELIA COOK— Of rapid growth, with 

 splendid foliage that rarely suffers from the at- 

 tacks of insects. The flowers are borne in 

 great profusion and are very desirable. The 

 color is pure creamy white, tinged with lemon 

 and blush. 



MADAME WELCHE— Color, a magnificent shade 

 of amber-yellow, deepening toward the center to 

 orange or coppery yellow, delicately clouded with 

 pale crimson. 



*GOLDEN GATE— It is immense in size, finely 

 formed, with long and beautiful buds. Color, rich 

 creamy white, shaded with a golden yellow and 

 clear rose, of indescribable beauty. 



*MAIDEN'S BLUSH— Produces a fine, healthy 

 bush, with fine, large, bright green foliage, edged 

 with red — almost disease and insect proof. Color 

 a soft blending of salmon-pink, rose-pink, and flesh 

 tints. 



*SAFRANO— Valued very highly for its beautiful 

 buds and handsome flowers. The color is a bright 

 apricot-yellow, passing to orange and fawn, some- 

 times tinted with rose. 



*MAD. FRANCISCA KRUGER— Of strong and 

 vigorous growth, and a constant bloomer, which is 

 especially suited to bedding or massing. The 

 flowers are deeply shaded coppery yellow in color, 

 and are of large size. 



*WHITE BOUGERE— The pure ivory-white flowers 

 are unusually large, deep, full and double, borne on 

 long, stiff stems. 



MARIE GUILLOT— The color is pure white, some- 

 times faintly tinged pale yellow. The flowers are 

 beautifully made, very large, full double; the 

 buds are very pretty, of sweet fragrance. 



MADAME LAMBARD— Color a magnificent shade 

 or rosy-bronze, changing to salmon and fawn, tinted 

 with carmine.

Marie Van Houtte 



The color of the flowers, which are large, full and 

 double, is pale canary-yellow, passing to rich, creamy- 

 white, shaded with pale rose. 



LADY PLYMOUTH— A Rose similar to Souv. de 

 Pierre Notting, which means a handsome bud and 

 full, double bloom of large size. The color is a 

 delicate pearly but deep ivory cream, faintly flushed. 



*MARIE LAMBERT, or SNOWFLAKE— Large, 



double, creamy-white flowers are produced in 

 marvelous profusion. 



*MRS. B. R. CANT— Strong growing variety, pro- 

 ducing heavy stems, with large, healthy foliage 

 and flowers almost the equal and style of Helen 

 Gould, but more double; deep rose, with silvery 

 rose center. 



*PAPA GONTIER— A strong, vigorous grower and 

 constant bloomer; one of the best and most valu- 

 able, both for open ground and greenhouse; color 

 rich cherry-red, passing to clear, glowing crimson. 



PRINCESS BONNIE— The brightest, sweetest and 

 freest-blooming Rose in existence. Color solid 

 crimson, deeper and more vivid than "Gen. Jack." 

 Fragrance is sweeter than La France. 



MAD. DE WATTEVILLE— The Tulip Rose. The 

 color is a magnificent shade of creamy-yellow, 

 richly colored with a rosy blush; the largest petals 

 are bordered with bright crimson, giving it a very 

 striking and beautiful appearance. 



GENERAL DE TARTAS— It is of good habit, and 

 an excellent Rose in every way. The color is a 

 brilliant carmine, deeply shaded with violet-purple, 

 oftentimes tinged with buff.
