Beautiful La France Roses

 sary to a good Rose. Practically hardy everywhere; 

 splendidly adapted for general planting and deserve 

 a place in every flower garden of America.

 handsome; flowers and buds large size, color 

 lovely shade of silvery pink, tinged with crimson; 

 fragrance delicious; flowers very full and beautiful. 

 *WHITE LA FRANCE— (Augustine Guinoisseau) 

 — A pure white member of the La France family, 

 having just a tinge of rose-blush tint, which 

 grows stronger in the depths of the petals. 

 RED LA FRANCE (Duchess of Albany)— A superb 

 Rose; resembles the Pink La France, but is much 

 deeper in color. 

 *YELLOW LA FRANCE (Mad. Pernet Ducher)— 

 One of the best of the newer French Roses of its 

 color; very pretty flower, semi-double. Bright 

 canary-yellow. 

 STRIPED LA FRANCE— This Rose is almost ex- 

 actly the same as Pink La France, except in color, 

 which is bright satiny pink distinctly striped with 

 bright rose.

HYBRID TEA ROSES — Continued. 



* Kaiserin Augusta Victoria 



The greatest hardy, white Hybrid Tea Rose in ex- 

 istence. A strong, sturdy grower; free-flowering; it 

 has become the most popular of all white Roses for 

 general planting. Continuously from early spring 

 until late fall, with pointed buds, the large, double 

 flowers are glorious in their perfection; borne on 

 long, stiff stems; delicate pure white, deliciously fra- 

 grant. Unexcelled for cutting; absolutely hardy. 

 Although grown extensively under glass, it is essen- 

 tially a garden Rose. There is nothing finer than 

 this glorious Rose. 



*MAD. JULES GROLEZ, Red Kaiserin Augusta— 



This magnificent Rose is exceedingly free bloom- 

 ing, with very large, finely formed flowers. The 

 color is a distinct and charming shade of cherry- 

 red. The fine form and attractive shape of the 

 flowers makes them excellent for cutting. It is a 

 remarkably strong, healthy growing variety, and 

 is as hardy as the Hybrid Perpetuals. 



MAD. CAROLINE TESTOUT— This is the Rose 

 which grows so luxuriantly in the Far West that 

 it has been adopted by the State of Oregon as its 

 State Flower. The gardens of the cities along 

 the Pacific Coast are the wonder of the world by 

 the profusion of the bloom of this remarkable 

 Rose. In color, it is of a satiny rose, deepening 

 to clear red in the center. 



*MME. LEON PAIN — Silvery-salmon, with orange- 

 yellow center. 



MAD. SCHWALLER— A beautiful combination of 

 salmon-rose with edges of the petals touched with 

 violet-carmine. 



MADAME PAUL EULER ("Prima Donna")— The 

 color is a lovely shade of vermilion-pink, changing 

 to silvery-pink. 



MME. MELANIE SOUPERT— The flowers are 

 bright golden-yellow suffused with faint tinges of 

 pink, with a handsome and distinct form, making 

 a Rose of great beauty. It is a strong, vigorous 

 grower, very hardy, and forms a handsome bush 

 in the garden. 



*HELENA CAMBIER— Of unusual beauty, with 

 large, double, beautifully formed flowers, the col- 

 ors are varying, ranging from salmon-rose to cop- 

 pery-rose; very often a handsome saffron hue. 

 As the flowers expand the colors become lighter. 

 A most remarkable sort in every respect and one 

 to which we give our highest endorsement. Good 

 everywhere. 



LA TOSCA— A beautiful shade of light pink; in 

 many cases having the appearance almost of a 

 pure white Rose.
