Our Great New Rose ''Garden Gem" 



We urge you to plant at least a few bushes of 



this extraordinary variety in your garden. You 



will order more. 



Talisman — A very much advertised and sensational 

 rose. There do not seem to be two descriptions 

 that fit it in all phases. Some speak very highly of 

 it while othejs condemn it. It has one great re- 

 deeming feature and that is its disease resistant 

 quality. We have found it a wonderful grower and 

 bloomer. Buds are handsome of a mixture of 

 orange yellow and red, a striking combination. 

 Superb in early spring and in the late fall. 



Miss C. E. Van Rossem — Velvety dark red, well 

 formed buds, open flowers almost the same shade, 

 I'einforced with scarlet and black; fragrant. Strong 

 bushy plant, free flowering. A good bedding rose 

 on account of producing flowers under any con- 

 dition. 



La Champagne — Semi-double peach colored 

 blooms, shghtly shaded darker. Better than 

 Madam Butterfly.

This great new l)ush rose introduced and 

 for sale only by us is a remarkable rose — it 

 has no disease of any kind. Absolutely fi'ee 

 from Black Spot and kindred diseases that 

 are so annoying and which are found so 

 abundantly in nearly all the roses of recent 

 origin. It has wonderfully clean, heavy 

 foliage. Its parentage is the finest of any rose 

 in cultivation —a hybridization of "Mrs. 

 E. T. Stotesbury" a gicat 

 American rose and "Ameri- 

 ^ ca," another gi-eat American 

 (Hill) production. It is a mar- 

 velously strong, healthy growei' 

 under the most adverse condi- 

 tions, thriving even in extreme heat — 

 just a grand grower. As already stated 

 there is no rose we know of to compare 

 with it in the absolute healthy growth 

 that characterizes it at all times. Of course 

 it is but natural that it should be a mag- 

 nificent bloomer, continuously bearing its 

 beautiful, satiny pink flowers of lovely 

 form on strong erect stems, making it one 

 of the greatest of all roses, new or old, foi' 

 garden cultivation and for cutting.
