Papa Gontier, 



Perle des Jardins 



Pearl of the Garden. 



The color is a clear golden-yellow, of a beautiful 

 shade, and is entirely distinct from any other vari- 

 ety; the flowers are large, full, of globular form, 

 with great depth and substance, richly perfumed, 

 and very beautiful in every way. This magnificent 

 Rose still holds its position as one of the most ex- 

 quisite and beautiful of its color ever introduced, and 

 the demand for it is constantly increasing as its 

 great value becomes known. It is ideal for cutting- 

 purposes. A particularly fine garden Rose, being 

 strong and thrifty. 



NIPHETOS — This variety is always scarce. In 

 color it is snow-white, sometimes faintly tinted 

 with pale yellow. 

 NUMBER 27— A brilliant, everblooming Tea Rose, 

 a sport of Bridesmaid, with all the good qualities 

 of its parent intensified. The color is a richer, 

 deeper pink than Bridesmaid, and the flowers 

 larger and of better substance. It is a continuous 

 bloomer. 

 MADAME ELIE LAMBERT— Color a rich creamy 

 white, faintly tinted with pale golden-yellow, and 

 is exquisitely bordered and tinted with soft rosy 

 flesh. 



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, by ex- 

 press; $4.00 per dozen of one or more varieties. Va- 

 rieties marked * still larger at 75c each. 



HARDY EVERBLOOanNG TEA ROSES — Continued. 



* Papa Gontier 



A strong, vigorous grower and constant bloom- 

 er; one of the best and most valuable, both for 

 open ground and greenhouse; color rich cherry-red, 

 passing to clear, glowing crimson. One of the 

 best for all purposes, with immense buds and mag- 

 nificent flowers. 



MURIEL GRAHAM— The flower is a most deli- 

 cate cream, blushed rose; almost a yellow Mer- 

 met. 



*MADAME CAMILLEI— The color is a pale rosy 

 flush, shaded with salmon and lavender. 



MRS. F. F. THOMPSON— A sport from the love- 

 ly Alrs.^ Geo. Shawyer, and an exact duplicate, 

 except in color, which is a lovely shade of shell 

 pink, with a deep glowing heart of light pink, 

 which brightens up the flower wonderfully. 

 Like Shawyer, it is a vigorous grower, and 

 blooming constantly from early Spring until late 

 Fall. Hardy_ almost everywhere. An excellent 

 one for cutting, as the lovely buds hold their 

 shape for an unusual length of time, and opening 

 into such immense, full and double blooms. Price, 

 first size plants, 30c each, postpaid; 4 for $1.00. 

 Two-year-old plants, 75c each, by express. All 

 on their own roots.
