HYBRID TEA ROSES — Continued. 



Ophelia 



The color is one so difficult to describe that any 

 description can only be a partial one, and gives but 

 a faint idea of the superb beauty and richness of 

 the shades. Salmon-flesh, shaded with rose. Buds 

 of unusual attractiveness, opening full and double. 

 Habit excellent, growth strong, produces 

 flowers on long stems, well up above the fo- 

 liage, and in great profusion all summer. 

 \ Hardy in almost all localities. Grand for 

 forcing or outdoors. 



*MRS. A. R. WADDELL— This is one of 



the most beautiful Hybrid Tea Roses in 

 bud and flower of any grown. The flow- 

 ers are of the largest size, of perfect form, and 

 possess wonderful keeping qualities. The color- 

 ing is most brilliant in effect, being a rosy-scarlet, 

 opening rosy-salmon, with reverse of petals rosy- 

 scarlet. The bush is a sturdy, erect and vigorous 

 grower, requiring but little care. 



MELODY — A lovely shade of yellow, deepening to 

 apricot in the center, perfect in form and very 

 double. It is one of the handsomest yellow Roses 

 we have ever seen and as a garden Rose cannot 

 be surpassed. The bush is hardy, vigorous and 

 constantly in bloom. 



MRS. DUDLEY CROSS— In color, a pale chamois, 

 or light yellow fainty flushed with rose. The 

 flowers are beautifully formed, 

 large, full and double, and are of 

 splendid substance, borne continu- 

 ously on long, stiff stems, and for 

 cutting it is most valuable. Bears 

 its handsome flowers in great pro- 

 fusion all summer through. 



PRINCE OF BULGARIA— Not the 



least of its charms is the large, 

 bright green foliage, and the buds 

 are simply grand. The flowers are 

 large and quite full; outer petals 

 superb rosy-flesh with the index 

 petals of a slightly lighter tint.
