NEW ROSES — Continued. 



Premier 



(Hybrid Tea) — Never in our years of Rose grow- 

 ing have we been so impressed with any rose as we 

 have with this one, in size, growth, sturdiness, health,, 

 fragrance and color. The blooms are immense, often 

 measuring 5 and 6 inches across the open flower, buds 

 long, full and pointed. Growth remarkable, being 

 strong and sturdy, each bloom borne on heavy" canes, 

 almost thornless and 4 and 5 feet long. Foliage dark 

 glossy green, free from disease or insects. Color is 

 deep rose pink, without shadings and retains its color 

 in the open flower. Highly fragrant. Price, own root 

 plants, first size, 50c each; 3 

 for $1.25; two-year-old plants, 

 $1.25 each, by express. Stock 

 limited. 



HELEN TAFT— Rich, cerese 

 pink. Blooms large and 

 full; remarkably free bloom- 

 er, thus making it a fine bed- 

 ding variety. Strong, vig- 

 orous growth. 



CHEERFUL — Pure orange 

 flame, with tints overspread- 

 ing the petals, giving it a 

 wonderful and pleasing ef- 

 fect; mingled with the dis- 

 tinct orange yellow base, 

 creates a combination of 

 colors hitherto unknown in 

 a Rose. Splendid grower, 

 perfectly hardy and free- 

 blooming.

 MARCINET— Beautiful old 

 gold yellow, shaded with 

 orange yellow, with long

 size. Color buff, shaded orange, yellow, outside 

 of petals pearly peach, free blooming and very

CHRISSIE MacKELLAR— Hybrid Tea. of a very 

 beautiful shade of crimson and carmine, with 

 veinations on rich deep ochre, becoming a delicate 

 but bright orange pink as the semi-double blooms 

 develop. It is one of the most delightfully colored 

 Roses we have yet seen. Strongly pure primrose 

 fragrance, good strong healthy grower. 



LADY PIRRIE — Coppery reddish salmon, inside 

 of petals apricot yellow, flushed fawn and copper. 

 An ideal variety for bedding or massing purposes
