HARDY EVtRBLOOMING TEA ROSES— Continued. 



Xady 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 petals, 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 efifect. A valuable addition to any amateur's 

 garden, as well as to the professional grower, all of whom 

 will find this Rose the color they have long desired. A 

 strong, hearty, healthy grower. Price, 20ic each, first size 

 plants, 6 for $1.00; two-year-old plants, 50c each; $5.00 

 per dozen, by express.

DO YOU KNOW HOW A ROSE BUSH IS >IADE? 



Probably you have not given the matter any thought, but 

 Roses that are grown on their own roots; and they are the 

 only ones that are wor'h planting, are made from branches 

 from the mother plant. These branches are cut in lengths 

 according to the eyes th" eon. In order to increase the pro- 

 duction these cuttings arf frequently made with only one eye, 

 which makes a small ar.d weak plant. Where two eyes are 

 taken the plant is twice as large and of twice as much 

 vitality and bloomirg quality. So in buying plants re- 

 member our plants are made from these strong, two-eyed 

 cuttings, and are vorth more than those weak one-eyed 

 plants offered by many at -^heap rates. Buying cheap 

 plants to save r '>ney is like ^"opplng a clock to save time 

 Buy the best, a,' the results aro certain. 



Price, 15c each for all Roses, first size, one-year 

 plants, on this page, except where noted; 50c for any 

 4, postpaid; two-year-old plants, 40c each; $4.00 per 

 dozen, by express, of one or more varieties. Variety 

 marked * still larger at 75c each.
