NEW ROSES — Continued. 



Hoosier Beauty 



This beautiful Rose is fragrant a^ Rich- 

 mond: has more petals, a stiffer steni. a 

 texture like velvet. In color, glowing; crim- 

 son 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. .\s 

 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 in- 

 stantly popular and in heavy demand in 

 the cities where blooms have been sold, 

 flower buyers through the section calling 

 for it by name. We believe this R<«-e will 

 make it- mark as a garden variety. Strong, 

 first size plants, 25c each; 5 for $1.00, post- 

 paid; two-year-old plants, 50c each, by ex- 

 press.

 seedlings, the varieties used in this de- 

 velopment being Liberty, General Mc- 

 Arthur and Richmond, all brilliant scarlet 

 varieties and garden Roses. In color it is 

 a deep velvety-crimson, retaining its 

 brilliancy at all seasons of the year. The j 



variety is double and buds are well form-
