One of the best and sweetest hardy Hybrid Tea 

 Roses of its color. The strong, upright bushes have 

 beautiful bronze green foliage which is not subject to 

 insect attacks. The bushes are blooming constantly, 

 producing large, massive, deep, full cup-formed 

 flowers on inagnificent, long, stiff stems. They are 

 of truly glorious form and delightful fragrance, . 

 while the color is exquisite — a clear red or velvety . 

 crimson. - 



/ENCHANTER— The flowers are of remarkable " 

 size and beauty. The color is a bright pink 

 which never fades. One of the most freely flow- 

 ering kinds in cultivation. 



FLORENCE PEMBERTON— Distinctive creamy- 

 white, shaded rose; petals bordered rosy salmon; 

 flowers large, very full and beautifully formed. 

 Soon produces large, magnificent bush constant- 

 ly in bloom. Strong grower and one of the best 

 distinctive Hybrid Teas. 



Springfield, Missouri, April 23, 1917. 

 Gentlemen: — My order for roses arrived per express 

 this morning- and I cannot help but express my gratifica- 

 tion on account of their excellent condition and the size 

 of the bushes, and desire to say that they are equal if not 

 superior to any that I have received from other florists.

Edgar M. Burnett 



Very large, full flowers of splendid form with 

 large flesh-colored petals tinted rose; an advance 

 on the type of Rose of which the beautiful Lady 

 Alice Stanley is a representative; one of the sweet- 

 est scented Roses in existence. Awarded gold 

 medal, National Rose Society of England. 



EDWARD MAWLEY— It is an enormous, big- 

 petaled Rose, much larger than the M'elanie 

 Soupert, a Rose which it resembles in form, and j 

 the beautiful rich color of LrOuis Van Houtte, j 

 only with a more velvety shading upon the inside I 

 of the petals. This Rose has been awarded the 

 gold medal of the National Rose Society. Very ' 

 free blooming, with a perfect habit of growth, 

 suitable for garden, exhibition or forcing pur- 

 poses. Hardy everywhere. 



FARBEN KONIGEN (Queen of Colors)— This 



Rose, as its name implies, is the queen of colors, 

 being almost beyond description. One of the 

 finest grown of this beautiful shade. Buds long 

 and pointed, opening large and double. Color 

 bright carmine and rosy-crimson, overlaid with 

 a satiny silver sheen. Very free bloomer. Per- 

 fectly hardy. Very popular in Europe and soon 

 will be in this country as it becomes better 

 known. 



FRANZ DEEGAN— A great hardy yellow Rose, 

 with so many good sturdy qualities that it is in 

 high favor wherever known. A strong grower, 

 throwing up heavy canes, each one crowned by 

 a splendid flower of large size, deep and double, 

 with fine petals ranging in color from pronounced 

 yellow io a delicate orange shade.
