The greatest hardy, white Hybrid Tea Rose in existence. 

 A strong, sturdy grower; free-flowering; it has become the 

 most popular of all white Roses for general planting. Con- 

 tinuously from early spring until late fall, with pointed buds, 

 the large, double flowers are glorious in their perfection; borne 

 on long, stiff stems; delicate pure white, deliciously fragrant. 

 Unexcelled for cutting; absolutely hardy. Although grown 

 extensively under glass, it is essentially a garden Rose. There 

 is nothing finer than this glorious Rose. 



LA TOSCA — A beautiful shade of light pink; in many cases 

 having the appearance almost of a pure white Rose. 



LIMEBIX— Magnificently formed flowers, full, deep and double, 

 fragrant and pleasing. Deep crimson-scarlet.

 borne with great freedom. Color a dark carmine-red.

MAD. CAROLINE TESTOUT _Thi. is the Rose which grows 

 so luxuriantly in the far West that it has been adopted by the 

 State of Oregon as its State flower. The gardens of the 

 cities along the Pacific Coast are the wonder of the world by 

 the profusion of the bloom of this remarkable Rose. In color, 

 it is of a satiny rose, deepening to clear red in the center. 

 Thoroughly hardy in every respect, it is one of the very 

 best Roses for outdoor culture.
