My Maryland. Pink. One of the finest of 

 peach-pink Roses. The flowers are large and 

 double, of perfect form, with a bright but tender 

 peach-pink tint which becomes lighter and even 

 more attractive as the flower expands. The 

 plant makes a robust growth with many canes, 

 and every shoot bear? one or many of the perfect 

 blooms which come throughout a long season. 

 Grown originally for cut-flowers, it has proved 

 perfectly hardy out-of-doors. Price, strong 

 1-year plants, 15 cts.; 2-year plants, 35 cts. 



Radiance. Pink. John Cook of Baltimore 

 has produced more good Roses than any other 

 man in this country, but he never has given us 

 a better Rose than Radiance. It is a continuous 

 bloomer and an extremely vigorous grower, 

 surpassing Wm. R. Smith in that respect. The 

 blooms are very large; clear, silvery pink, some- 

 what resembling the grand new Rose, Jonkheer 

 J. L. Mock, but lighter in color. This is a variety 

 of the greatest importance. Price, mailing size,

 ful. Price, mailing size, 10 cts.; 2-year plants,

 blooming; foliage leathery, reddish green, glossy 

 and large. For the Middle and Southern States

everblooming Rose. Color deep ivory-white,

Richmond. Red. This is among the most 

 brilliant of scarlet-crimson Roses, and will 

 always be included in the first half dozen most 

 desirable red Roses. The bloom is moderately

 stems. This variety is used in immense numbers 

 as a cut-flower, and is of equal value in the 

 garden. Price, 1-year mailing size, 15 cts.; 

 strong 2-year plants, 35 cts. 



Rhea Reid. Crimson. A magnificent garden 

 Rose. "As large as American Beauty, as double 

 as La France, and as red as Richmond," is the 

 way this beautiful Hybrid Tea Bush Rose has 

 been described. The color is vivid scarlet- 

 crimson, and the flowers are marvels of beauty; 

 large, bold and of splendid substance. It has 

 a strong, disease resisting constitution, makes a 

 rapid growth and throws up a profusion of canes 

 from the roots and is always blooming. Price, 

 1-year mailing size, 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 

 35 cts. 



American Beauty. Crimson. Largest, 

 sweetest and best of all hardy Roses. It is a 

 genuine, hardy, everblooming Rose. For im- 

 mensity of size, rich color, exquisite form and 

 delicious fragrance, it stands without an equal. 

 It is a quick and bushy grower and a continuous

 exceeded in merit by any Rose yet sent out 

 from that country. Blooms very large, well 

 filled and open easily; beautiful, elongated bud.

Mrs. B. R. Cant. Red. A most beautiful 

 and worthy variety, somewhat resembling the 



This class of Roses is distinguished by a 

 delicate tea fragrance and an absolutely ever- 

 blooming habit. Most varieties are not so 

 hardy as the Hybrid Tea class, but they may 

 be carried through the winter even in the 

 Northern States with careful protection, bank- 

 ing up with soil probably being the most satis- 

 factory method. The Cochet varieties are nearly 

 or quite as hardy as the Hybrids. Price of all 

 Tea Roses, except where noted: 1-year mailing 

 size, 10 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 25 cts. 



Pink Maman Cochet. The queen of all 

 pink garden Roses. Clear rich pink, changing 

 to silvery rose. The buds are beautiful, large, 

 full and firm and elegantly pointed; as they 

 expand they show great depth and richness, 

 sometimes measuring 2H inches from base to 

 tip. Small pot-plants will, in the open ground, 

 quickly make large, strong bushes, and produce 

 on long, stiff stems, great numbers of perfect 

 flowers. Perfectly hardy in all sections. Price, 

 2-year plants, 30 cts. 



White Maman Cochet, or Priscilla. A 

 charming white Tea Rose. A child of that 

 grandest of bedding or outdoor Roses, Maman 

 Cochet; identical with that variety except in 

 color. Hardy in Northern Ohio, with slight 

 protection in winter. The flowers are enormous, 

 remarkably round and full; white and delight- 

 fully tea-scented. Price, 2-year plants, 30 cts. 



Golden Cochet, or Helen Good. This is the 

 only true Cochet Rose known except the old, 

 well-known Pink and White Cochets. The 

 color is a delicate yellow, suffused with pink, 

 each petal edged deeper, very chaste and beauti- 

 ful. The color, with its immense size and 

 exquisite form, makes it one of the greatest 

 Tea Roses. Price, 2-year plants, 35 cts. 



Bon Silene. Pink. A grand old Tea Rose. 

 Large, beautiful buds, fine for bouquets and 

 decorative purposes. The color is deep rose, 

 or bright rosy crimson. 



Burbank. Pink. A hardy, everblooming 

 Tea Rose. The color is cherry-crimson; the very 

 deepest and brightest pink Rose in cultivation. 

 Peculiarly adapted for outdoor planting or for 

 blooming indoors. 



Helen Gould. Red. One of the most 

 beautiful and satisfactory Roses for general 

 planting ever introduced in AmericsU The 

 flowers are full and perfectly double, the bud3 

 beautifully made, long and pointed, the color of a 

 ripe red watermelon. It is as hardy as La France 



Freiherr von Marschall. Red. The flowers 

 are large, beautifully shaped, double and full, 

 borne in wonderful profusion all through the 

 growing season. It is a bright red, one of the 

 brightest red Tea Roses in exsistence. Price, 

 mailing size, 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; heavy 2-year 

 plants, 30 cts.

 ingly handsome Rose, one of the very best for 

 open-ground culture. It is especially adapted 

 to bedding or massing. Holds its foliage under 

 all sorts of adverse conditions. Flowers deeply 

 shaded coppery yellow. A strong and vigorous 

 grower and a good and constant bloomer. 



Marie Van Houtte. Yellow. Magnificent 

 in the open ground. Extra-large, full-double 

 flowers; canary-yellow, passing to creamy white, 

 shaded rose.

 pointed buds; stiff, upright stems; color a beauti- 

 ful China-rose, coppery salmon and golden 

 yellow; extremely free bloomer. 



Golden Gate. A most magnificent Rose 

 with large, full, finely formed flowers; buds long 

 and beautiful. Color rich creamy white, ex- 

 quisitely tinged with golden yellow and clear 

 rose, making a flower of indescribable beauty. 

 Plants robust and hardy, and bloom freely. 



Frau Karl Druschki. White. Called by 

 some, "White American Beauty." Strictly 

 speaking, this Rose does not belong in the Hybrid 

 Tea class, as it is a pure Hyrid Perpetual. It 

 is, however, such a constant and persistent 

 bloomer that it will pass for a Hybrid Tea. The 

 bud is long and pointed, of the finest form, often 

 delicately marbled with carmine on the outer 

 petals, opening to an enormous flower absolutely 

 pure snow-white, unquestionably the whitest 

 Rose known. The growth is exceedingly strong, 

 vigorous and healthy. Price, mailing size, from 

 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 40 

 cts.; extra-heavy 3-year plants, 60 cts.; 4-year 

 immense plants, 85 cts.
