It has wonderully beautiful foliage and 



produces large, full, beautifully shaped 



flowers, which are borne in profusion all 



through the season. The color is bright 



red. 



THE BRIDE— There is no other white 

 Rose more satisfactory than the Bride. 



BRIDESMAID— This variety is valuable 

 for cutting and does finely in the open 

 ground; a sport from the old and pop 

 ular pink Tea Catherine Mermet 



CATHERINE MERMET— A very free 

 bloomer, producing clear, shining pink 

 flowers, the center being shaded fawn 

 and amber.

 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.

Last winter I ordered some one year Rose ( 

 bushes from you, special collections, among J 

 them was one Garden Gem. I lost very few J 

 4 plants and the little sturdy things bloomed this l 

 4 summer. Not long ago the Garden Gem has J 

 ( three immense blooms and to say that those J 

 4 three blossoms created a sensation is putting ) 

 I it truthfully. Mrs. G. W. Adams, Yaupon Hill, J
