Brilliant White Rose 



Great Roses are made all the greater b}' the pub- 

 licit}^ given them, Frequenth^ a variety of more than 

 ordinary worth is allowed to "waste its sweetness on 

 the desert air" because the public is unacquainted 

 with its merits. This is especialh^ true of this great 

 variet}'. Makes strong, upright bush, with beautiful 

 deep green foliage; practically thornless. While a 

 Hybrid Perpetual, j-et like the Hj-brid Tea Roses, 

 bears in greatest profusion large, pointed buds and 

 massive flowers on long, stiff, heavy shoots; the 

 open flow£r is enormous, full, deep- and double. Rich 

 creamy-white, passing, when open, to a pale shade of 

 salmon-3-ellow, deepest at the center. Absolutely 

 hardy everj'where. 



MAD. CHARLES WOOD— Begins to bloom almost 

 as soon as planted, and continues all through the 

 season; flowers extra large, double, full and quite 

 fragrant; bright, fiery scarlet, passing to fine, rosy 

 crimson, shaded with maroon; showy and hand- 

 some.

HYBRID PERPETUAL. ROSES — Continued 



^ J. B. Clark 



An intense deep scarlet-rose, shaded blackish- 

 crimson, color like the sheen of a plum, often 7 inches 

 m diameter and 5 inches deep. J. B. Clark has created 

 a great sensation throughout the United States and 

 Europe. A wonderfully strong and upright grower, 

 exceedingl}' vigorous, with splendid and heavy dark 

 bronze-green foliage. The glory of the plant is in its 

 flowers, however, as they are extraordinary in size, 

 mil and double, wonderfully fragrant, of great depth, 

 and borne freely from the first year, on long, stiff 

 btems. This Rose has proven hardy, even in Canada, 

 and a genuine treat is in store for everyone who 

 plants it. We have a large stock of own-root plants, 

 all in splendid condition. 



MAGNA CHARTA— Extra large, full flowers, very 



double; of fine form, and sweet; clear, rosy red, 



beautifully flushed with violel-crimson; sure and 



profuse bloomer.

fragrant and hard}-. 

 MRS. JOHN LAING— Immense flowers, full and 

 double, borne in great profusion on long, stiff stems, 

 and exceedingly sweet. Clear, bright, shining pink,

 ^:=MAD. PLANTIER— For outdoor planting, the best 

 white Hj'brid Perpetual. Especially good for cemi- 

 etery planting. Flowers are pure white, very large 

 and double; a continuous bloomer. One of the best 

 white hardv Roses. 

 MARGARET DICKSON— The flower is of magnifi- 

 cent form, very large in size, almost as large as 

 Paul Neyron, the largest of all Roses; color is pure 

 waxy white, without spot or blemish; petals very 

 large, well shaped and of great substance._ They 

 are prettily curled back or reflexed, giving the 

 flower inimitable grace and charm. The buds are 

 large and globular, particularly exquisite and hand- 

 some. It is a strong, vigorous grower, with fine 

 foliage; a free bloomer. Should be included in every 

 order. Two-year-old, budded plants, only $1.25
