H.VKDY' E^T;KBL003nNG TEA ROSES — Continued. 



* 



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 description, 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 are produced on long, strong, wiry stems, well above 

 the foliage, producing a slender and graceful effect. A valu- 

 able addition to any amateur's Rose garden, as well as to 

 the professional grower, all of whom will find in this Rose 

 the color that they have long desired. A strong, hearty, 

 healthful grower. Price, 20c each, first size plants, 6 for 

 $1,00; larger size, 30c, 4 for $1.00; two-year-old plants, 50c 

 each, S5.00 per dozen by express. 



VIRGINIA — xhis splendid Rose is the result of a cross be- 

 tween Saffrano and Marechal Niel. It is a constant bloom- 

 er and of vigorous growth, bearing flowers which are well 

 formed, large and double. The color is a light yellow, 

 tinged with saffron at the center; very delicately and de- 

 lightfully perfumed. 



M AD. GOTHA — xhis practically new Everblooming Tea Rose, 

 with its delicate coloring, has a future of much promise, as 

 it has already become a general favorite. Flowers creamy 

 white, with red-edged petals. The bush is a strong, healthy 

 grower, with large foliage. 



S OUVENIR DE CLAIRVAUX _The color is bright pinkish 

 rose, shading lighter or darker, according to season; flow- 

 ers large, full and double, remaining on the bush a long

'•I>0 YOU KNOW HOW A ROSE Bl'SH IS M.\I>E?" — Piobalily you have not ^'iveIl tlie matter any 

 thought. Roses that are grown on their own roots, and they are the only ones that are worth planting, 

 are made from branches oT the mother plant. The.se branches are cut in lengths accordinR to the eyes 

 thereon. In order to increase the production these cuttings are frequently made with only one eye. 

 which makes a small and weak plant. Where two eyes are tal\en the plant is twfce as large and of 

 twice as much vitality and blooming quality. So in buying plants remember our plants are made 

 from these strong two-eyed cuttings and are worth much more than those weak one-eyed plants 

 'iffered by many at cheap rates,
