HYBRID TEA ROSES— 
Continued 
National Emblem 
‘Hoosier Beauty 
This beautiful Rose is fragrant as Richmond; has more 
petals, a stiffer stem, a texture like velvet. In color, glowing 
crimson scarlet, with darker shadings. The bud is of good 
length, keeps well in the close-cut state, and opens into 
magnificent bloom, quite dazzling in its velvety brilliance. 
As soon as thoroughly established in the soil it sends out 
long, stiff growth with a bud on every shoot. Produces, 
naturally, stems 2 to 3 feet in length; each plant keeps up 
a very close succession of bloom, and again, unlike Richmond, 
it is a good summer Rose. It is an easy grower, and has 
become instantly popular and in heavy demand in the cities 
where blooms have been sold, flower buyers through the 
section calling for it by name. 
GENERAL McARTHUR—Of strong, vigorous, healthy 
growth, branching freely, it produces its wonderful 
blooms profusely from May until October, of full scarlet 
crimson. Every shoot carries a large, double, well-formed 
flower of exquisite fragrance and lasting quality. 
ROBIN HOOD—A grand grower, producing heavy canes 
and foliage. Blooms of immense size like the June Rose 
or Hybrid Perpetual. Color glorious rosy-scarlet that is 
soft, bright and lasting. Free bloomer, that is, blooming 
the entire growing season.

National Emblem 
Owing to its magnificent color and formation 
this Rose was named National Emblem, and no 
Rose in our estimation has a better right to the 
honor of being the Standard Bearer. Its color is 
a deep crimson overlaid velvety crimson, shading 
to vermilion toward the edges. Buds long and 
pointed on stout stems, opening full and double, 
each one coming to perfection, and produced in 
marvelous profusion throughout the entire season. 
Plants make a gorgeous sight owing 
to the brightness of the blooms and 
the luster of the foliage, being entirely 
free from mildew. 
*BRITISH QUEEN—By some said to be the 
finest white Rose in existence, surpassing in 
beauty and form any other white Rose. The 
flower resembles Frau Karl Druschki and White 
Maman Cochet, with the Tea Rose form and 
refinement. Flowers freely all summer long 
from early spring until frost. Buds sometimes 
show a slight flush, which disappears as the 
flower expands. Strong grower. Hardy. 
Awarded a gold medal by the National Rose 
Society of England. 
*CLARA WATSON—Rich salmon-pink, with 
very graceful flowers, resembling Bridesmaid 
in form and produced in remarkable profusion. 
The buds, which are supported on long stems, 
> are very beautiful. 
*F. R. PATZER—A Rose of striking and 
pleasing appearance, owing to the delicate 
blending of color, which is a creamy-buff, 
with the reverse of petals a delicate warm 
pink, and as they expand the color becomes a 
light orange pink, which produces a most charm- 
ing combination. Strong, vigorous grower. 
Produces numerous branches, each one crowned 
with magnificent bud and bloom, on long, stiff 
stems, well above the foliage. Hardy and an 
excellent garden variety. 
BETT Y—It is of the type of the Killarney Rose, 
and has a truly unique color—ruddy gold. 
Blooms, extremely large, fairly full, of glorious 
form and deliciously perfumed. 
MRS. HENRY WINNETT—Color a_ bright 
shade of crimson, not quite as dark as Hadley, 
but not as light as Richmond, a color that has 
proven to be very popular, and we consider it 
one of the best crimson varieties. Buds long 
and well formed. 
MRS. S. K. RINDGE—Of strong free-branching 
habit of growth, with dark green mildew-proof 
foliage, long pointed buds, carried erect on 
stiff stems. Color clear rich chrome-yellow, 
which, as the flowers mature, become suffused 
with salmon-pink. The flowers are of good 
size, moderately double, and are produced 
freely and continuously. Price, strong two- 
year-old plants, $1.25 each, by express.
