Superb New Roses of American Origii 



Within recent years American Rose growers have forged to the front in originating new Roses of pro-' 

 nounced merit. Until recently nearly all our great new Roses were imported from Europe, and with all! 

 due deference to the ability of our brother growers across the water, they have sent us many varieties,' 

 which, after careful trials, have been proven to be comparatively worthless, while, again, we must ac- 

 knowledge the pronounced merit of such grand varieties as Souv. de Pierre Netting, Rubin, Franz Deegen, 

 Soleil d'Or, Sunrise, Baby Rambler, and many others of recent introduction. We wish to call special atten- 

 tion to the Roses offered on this and pages 13 and 14, which are distinctly American, and it is only within 

 the last two years that America has shown that she is ready to contest supremacy in Roses with Eng-: 

 land, Ireland, France and Germany. We have given these varieties thorough trials, and our descriptions 

 are the result of personal observations and may be depended upon in every particular. They are varie'-^ 

 ties of extraordinary merit and we recommend them unqualifiedly. All our plants for the season of 190fl 

 are particularly strong, clean and healthy, and you may depend upon them to give you the fullest meas-s 

 ure of success. These varieties will prove hardy in almost all parts of the country, but in the Nortli 

 should be carefully protected.

RICHMOND 



This new Hybrid Tea Rose is one of the most valuabl| 

 introductions of recent years, and reflects great credit oi 

 the diligent work of American hybridizers. It is as free 

 blooming as Bridesmaid or Golden Gate, and its scarlet-;

 it specially valuable for cutting purposes. It is a strong] 

 competitor of Liberty and Meteor for forcing. We recom-
