By some said to be the finest white Rose in ex- 

 istence, 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 sum- 

 mer long from early spring until frost. Buds some- 

 times show a slight flush which disappears as the 

 flower expands. Strong grower. Hardy. Award- 

 ed a gold medal by the National Rose Society of 

 England. 



CARDINAL — A new red Rose, which can be 

 recommended as better for forcing than Lib- 

 erty, and, in the open ground, equal to Meteor. 

 It is a strong, robust grower, with large and 

 massive flowers, deliciously fragrant, full and 

 double to the center. Of easy culture and ex- 

 tremely free flowering. 



'CAMEONS— A bright; handsome Rose, of a 

 dainty shade of China-rose suffused with pale 

 yellow. The bush is hardy, free flowering and 

 vigorous. 



CANADIAN QUElEN— Flowers large, of splen- 

 did substance and of. very beautiful light pink 

 color, somewhat lighter than the Bridesmaid. 



COLLEEN — Brilliant rose, shaded rose-pink 

 with deeper rose-crimson veneering and dis- 

 tinct creamy-yellow ground, never fading until 

 the petals drop.

" Bessie Brown 



This magnificent Rose, introduced here from 

 Europe, has unsurpassed beauty of a totally distinct 

 character, bearing large, full, deep and double flow- 

 ers, on strong, erect stems. The plants are hardy 

 and vigorous, producing flowers profusely in the 

 open ground all through the summer. The color is 

 almost pure white, though sometimes flushed with 

 pink; petals large and of fine form. 



BETTY— This wonderful Hybrid Tea Rose is the 

 greatest novelty of the past decade. It is of the 

 type of the Killarney Rose, and has a truly unique 

 color — ruddy gold (coppery rose, overspread with 

 golden yellow). Blooms extremely large, fairly 

 full, of glorious form and deliciously perfumed; 

 the petals measure 4 to 5 inches long.

 orange-red; very sweet. Flowers large and double.

CHATEAU DE CLOS VOUGEAT— A magnificent 

 Hybrid Tea Rose of wondrous color — the "black-

 from deep crimson velvet. It is a strong, lusty 

 grower, and one of the most beautiful of all dark- 

 colored Roses.
