Of the hundreds of Roses offered in this book, these five superb, hardy, everblooming varieties are 

 unquestionably the best. If you want five of the finest hardy sorts that will produce hundreds of 

 superb flowers throughout the growing season, order the Cochet Set. No matter where you live, they 

 will give you perfect satisfaction. They are absolutely the best Roses in the world. 



Pink Maman Cochet 



We have always regarded this as the Queen of all 

 Pink Garden Roses, and, as our friends become 

 acquainted with it, they join us in similar admira- 

 tion of its exquisite form and delicate beauty. The 

 buds are large, full and firm, elegantly pointed, 

 showing depth and richness as they expand. The 

 superb flowers open perfectly double, are extra-large 

 and of splendid substance. Hardy in every section 

 of the country; clear, rich pink, changing to silvery 

 rose. 



"White Maman Cochet 



Identical with its parent, Maman Cochet, except 

 in color, which is snowy white, with sometimes a 

 faint tinge slightly suggesting 

 pale blush. It has the same 

 freedom of bloom, the same 

 magnificent form of buds and 

 flowers, and the same hardi- 

 ness, — standing at the very 

 head of all the Roses as the 

 best white kind for open- 

 ground culture. Vigorous as 

 an oak and hardy everywhere.

We wish to call special atten- 

 tion to the three-year-old sizes 

 of the Cochet Roses. There has 

 been a great demand for these 

 Roses in large sizes, and to meet 

 it last year we offered a limited 

 number (i.ooo) of three-year- 

 old plants. This number was not 

 sufficient to take care of the 

 calls we had, and this year we 

 are glad to say our stock of 

 three-year-old Cochets is con- 

 siderably larger. These plants are 

 extra -heavy, own -root stock, 

 now in 6-inch pots; orders will be 

 filled in rotation as received. cochet roses 



Red Maman Cochet 



(HELEN GOULD) 



This is a Rose that will grow and give satisfac- 

 tion in almost any soil or situation. It produces 

 its splendid flowers in amazing profusion, on long, 

 strong shoots. For vigor and freedom of bloom, 

 thoiisands of growers regard this Rose as better 

 than American Beauty, and without a peer. The 

 flowers are very full, perfectly double ; buds long and 

 pointed. Color warm, rosy crimson, hardy every- 

 where. 



Yellow Maman Cochet 



We continue to regard this grand kind as abso- 

 lutely the best hardy, everblooming yellow Rose. It 

 is ideal for open -ground culture, 

 — a typical Cochet Rose, with 

 gracefully molded buds, flowers 

 magnificent when open, on stiff, 

 strong stems. This kind is iden- 

 tical in every way with Pink and 

 White Cochet, except in the color 

 of the flower, which is deep sul- 

 phur-yellow. 



Crimson Maman 

 Cochet 



(ETOILE DE FRANCE) 



This well-known Rose we 

 have named descriptively 

 Crimson Maman Cochet, be- 

 cause of its vigor of growth, 

 stiffness of stems,heaviness of 

 foliage, freedom of bloom, and 

 hardiness. It bears masses of full, 

 deep-formed flowers singly, on 

 long, substantial stems. The color 

 is a new and clear shade of red or 

 crimson - velvet, brightening in 

 center ; of exquisite fragrance.
