In color, a pale chamois, or light yellow faintly flushed 

 with rose. The flowers are beautifully formed, large, 

 full and double, and are of splendid substance; borne 

 continuously on long stiff stems, and for cutting it is 

 most valuable. Bears its handsome flowers in great pro- 

 fusion all summer through. 



MME. PHILIPPE RIVOIRE— One of the handsomest 

 of the yellow Roses, its color ranging from bright 

 apricot-yellow to shades of pale carmine. The bush 

 is a stout, vigorous grower and is constantly in bloom 

 with a profusion of well-formed, large, double flowers. 



"WHAT A RECENT VISITOR SAID." 



A recent visitor from Toledo, Ohio, exclaimed when he saw the wonderful 

 Rose bushes growing- in our large house: "Are they the ones you offer as 

 two year old plants?" When told they were he said, "I have visited all the 

 Rose growing establishments in the country, and none compare with your 

 plants, as they are the finest I ever saw, and I have been g-rowing- Roses for 

 25 years." "Why," said he, "your two-year-old plants are larger and better 

 in every way than those offei'ed by some firms as three-year-old or Star 

 plants." 



So if we could only personally show each and every one of our prospective 

 customers these plants it would need no argument to convince them of the 

 quality of our stock. Send us your order if you want the best Roses and 

 ones that last.

HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued. 



Mrs. A. R. Waddell 



This is one of the most beautiful Hybrid Tea Roses 

 in bud and flower of any grown. The flowers are of 

 the largest size, of perfect form, and possesses wonder- 

 ful keeping qualities. The coloring is most brilliant in 

 effect, being a rosy-scarlet, opening rosy-salmon, with 

 reverse of petals rosy-scarlet. The bush is a sturdy, 

 erect and vigorous grower, requiring but little care. 



*METEOR — Very few dark Roses compare with this 

 in richness and depth of color, which is a rich, vel- 

 vety crimson, shading very dark in the depths of 

 the petals. The buds and flowers are remarkably 

 large and of elegant form, full and double. As a gar- 

 den Rose it has few equals, being particularly valu- 

 able for bedding on account of its sturdy growth and 

 handsome foliage. It is also valuable for growing 

 indoors in pots or in the conservatory, and is con- 

 stantly in bloom. 



MILDRED GRANT— A white Rose, delicately tinted 

 with light pink; flowers of the largest size; has so 

 many good qualities that it may be planted with con- 

 fidence. 



MISS KATE MOULTON— Light pink, very beautiful; 

 habit robust, with heavy foliage, making it a grand 

 Rose for outdoor culture. 



MRS. ANDREW CARNEGIE— Sometimes called an 

 everblooming Frau Karl Druschki. Awarded a gold 

 Medal by the National Rose Societ^^, and won a host 

 of admirers wherever shown. Owing to its resem- 

 blance to Frau Karl Druschki it has been termed an 

 everblooming Druschki. Flowers are almost perfect 

 in form, with a high center, and immense size. 

 11 the time. Good robust grower. Hardy 

 everywhere. Color al- 

 most a snow-white, but

 slight lemon tint.
