HYBRID TEA ROSES — Continued. 



Hoosier Beauty 



This beautiful Rose is fragrant as Rich- 

 mond; has more petals, a stiffer stem, a 

 texture like velvet. In color, glowing crim- 

 son scarlet, with darker shadings. The bud 

 is of good length, keeps well in the close- 

 cut state, and opens into magnificent 

 bloom, quite dazzling in its velvety bril- 

 liance. As soon as thoroughly established 

 in the soil it sends out long, stiff growth 

 with a bud on every shoot. Produces, 

 naturally, stems 2 to 3 feet in length; each 

 plant keeps up a very close succession of 

 bloom, and again unlike Richmond it is a 

 good summer Rose. It is an easy grower. 

 and has become instantly popular and in 

 heavy demand in the cities where blooms 

 have been sold, flower buyers through the 

 section calling for it by name. 



^GENERAL McARTHUR — Of strong, 

 vigorous, healthy growth, branching free- 

 ly, it produces its wonderful blooms pro- 

 fusely from May until October, of full 

 scarlet crimson. Every shoot carries a 

 large, double, well-formed flower of ex- 

 quisite fragrance and lasting quality. 



MME. EDOUARD HERRIOT (Daily 

 Mail) — Vigorous grower, of spreading 

 branching habit, with numerous long 

 thorns and bronzy-green foliage. Buds

 the open flowers of medium size, semi- 

 double, are of a superb coral-red. shaded 

 yellow and rosy-scarlet. Three-year-old 

 plants only, $1.25 each, by express. 

 WM. NOTTING— Owing to its size and freedom of 

 bloom it should be in every garden. Blooms fine, 

 large, full and double and perfect formation. Color 

 a bright rosy cerise, with a deeper center. Frag- 

 rant. Hardv and everbloominsr.
