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. 

 Souvenir de Francois Gaulain. The color is unusually 

 bright, and quite remarkable for a Tea Rose — rich 

 velvety crimson ; the flowers are very fragrant, large, 

 full and very double, possessing a depth that makes 

 their color all the more attractive, quite hardy, 

 healthy and strong. A Rose of great value to the 

 home-grower. The strong, healthy plants are quite 

 hardy. 

 Lady Hillingdon. One of the latest introductions of 

 the Tea class, and has taken the medal over all 

 yellow Roses, the color being one almost beyond de- 

 scription, apricot yellow shaded to orange on the 

 outer edge of the petal, becoming deeper and more 

 intense toward the center of the bloom. The color 

 does not fade after the bloom is cut, but invariably 

 becomes darker. Buds produced on long, strong, wiry 

 stems, well above the foliage, producing a slender 

 and graceful effect. You will find in this Rose the 

 color that has long been desired. A strong, hearty, 

 healthful grower. Price, 25 cts. each, first-size plants; 

 two-year-old, 50 cts. each. 

 Reine Karola de Saxe. Large, double flowers ; blush- 

 white, shaded delicate pink. 

 Rose Gubert. Color canary-yellow, deepening at center ; 

 buds long, full and large. A splendid grower and 

 free bloomer. 

 Souvenir d'un Ami. A vigorous grower and profuse 

 bloomer ; for growing in open ground it is simply 

 luxuriant. The flowers are large and globular, similar 

 to that of the Queen, except in color ; very full and 

 sweet ; in color is a deep rosy flesh, beautifully shaded 

 with rich carmine; edges and reverse of petals silver 

 rose. 

 Safrano. Valued very highly for its beautiful buds and 

 handsome flowers. The color is a bright apricot- 

 yellow, passing to orange and fawn, sometimes tinted 

 with rose. A splendid old-time Rose that has never 

 been replaced by any newcomer of its class or color. 

 It is a variety especially adapted to outdoor planting; 

 vigorous and healthy ; blooms all Summer. 



Flowers almost the equal and style of Helen Gould, 



but more double; deep rose, with silvery rose center. 



Mrs. George Shawyer. This is one of the newer varie- 

 ties introduced by the growers of Lady Hillingdon. 

 We have not seen a Rose that has met with such 

 universal appreciation by both the amateur and pro- 

 fessional grower, and has won awards in almost every 

 place shown since it was introduced, both in this 

 country and Europe. The color is one very hard to 

 describe, being a shade of brilliant clear rose or bright 

 peach-pink. It is a wonderful grower and bloomer, 

 producing great numbers of strong shoots, each shoot 

 tipped with a bud. These shoots form the stem, 

 from 3 to 4 feet in length. The flowers are very 

 large, well formed and full, petals of good substance. 

 A very fine garden Rose, as well as a forcing Rose. 

 Price, of strong pot-grown plants, 25c each; two-year- 

 old plants, 50c each. The stock is grown on own 

 roots. 



The Queen. Of vigorous and healthy growth, sweetly 

 scented. A constant bloomer, producing profuse crops 

 of buds and flowers ; the buds are well-shaped, with 

 large petals of best substance. White. 



Mad. de Wattevule. The Tulip Rose. The color is a 

 magnificent shade of creamy yellow, richly colored 

 with rosy blush ; the large petals are bordered wiih 

 bright crimson, giving it a very striking and beautiful 

 appearance. 



Win. R. Smith. Especially suited for outdoor planting 

 and cutting purposes. The soft blending of the sal- 

 mon-pinks, rose-pinks, and the magnificent flesh tint3 

 resemble the blush of a maiden's cheek. 



Francois Dubreuil. Of strong growth and a constant 

 bloomer, producing deep crimson flowers, with rich 

 velvety shadings, which are very double and large. 



Madame Pierre Gufllot. This is a very remarkable and 

 exceedingly handsome variety. Color delicate orange- 

 yellow, veined and bordered with clear pink. 



Beryl. Large, full and fragrant ; color deep apricot or 

 coppery yellow. The flowers and foliage present a 

 fine contrast, 



White Bougere. There is no Rose which exceeds this 

 one for open-ground culture. The pure ivory-white 

 flowers are unusually large, deep, full and double, 

 borne on long, stiff stems throughout the season in 

 great profusion. 



Madame Camille. The color is a pale rosy flush, shaded 

 with salmon and lavender. 



Freiherr Von Marschall. As an outdoor Rose it has no 

 superior. It has wonderfully beautiful foliage and 

 produces large, full, beautifully shaped flowers, which 

 are borne in profusion all through the season. The 

 color is bright red, one of the best red Tea Roses 

 that is known. 



ScuVc de Catherine Guillot. Flowers large, full, finely 

 shaped and very fragrant. Free bloomer and vigorous. 

 Color coppery carmine ; center shaded oranc-e. Richly 

 colored and thoroughly distinct. 



Saxonia. Very distinct, full and double ; strong grower ; 

 produces beautiful white flowers, with petals edged 

 with bright rose. It was sent to us as an improve- 

 ment over that most popular Rose, Golden Gate, and 

 is really very well worth planting. 



Duchesse Marie SalviatL A constant bloomer, and a 

 sturdy, vigorous grower, producing beautiful yellow 

 flowers tinged with orange, changing to buff, and 

 prettily flushed with pale rose. 



Duchesse de Brabant, A very vigorous and healthy va- 

 riety, producing large blossoms which are beautiful 

 in buds or open flower. The color is a fine shade of 

 soft, rosy pink, which deepens to bright rose. A spf^- 

 cial favorite. 



Souv. de Pierre Xotting. This beautiful Rose is an in- 

 troduction of one of the largest firms of France, and 

 has not been exceeded by any Rose from that coun- 

 try. It is of strong, bushy habit, and has won nu- 

 merous gold medals and awards of merit. The flow- 

 ers are very large, well-filled and open easily: color 

 apricot-yellow, tinged with golden, and mixed with 

 orange-yellow r edge of petal shaded carmine-rose. 

 Strong, first-size plants, 20 cts. each; larger plants. 

 30 cts. each; two-year-old plants. 40 cts., by express.
