MADAME HONORE DEFRESNE 



A Golden Yellow Rose 

 Golden yellow is a color not often found in Roses. 

 This superb variety is valuable because of its large, 

 full, double flowers, which are pure golden yellow, 

 and Its freedom of bloom and strong, healthy growth 

 in open ground. Really one of the sweetest and best

 rosy bronze passing to salmon and fawn, beautifully 

 shaded with carmine. An elegant Rose, of vigorous

MAD. E. DURANTHON 



An Oddly Colored Rose 

 This variety is one of the most unique colored Roses 

 In existence. It resembles Mad. Margottin somewhat, 

 particularly as to the ruddy coloring, which is a trifle 

 deeper in this variety. It is indeed a beautiful Rose, 

 more delicately shaded than Mad. Margottin, and a 

 most desirable variety. The color is citron yellow, 

 with bright red centre, delicately blended. 



MAD. FRANCISCA KRUGER 



A Remarkably Fine Rose 

 A strikingly handsome Rose, one of the very best 

 for open-ground culture. It would be hard to name a 

 better or more satisfactory Rose. It is especially 

 adapted to bedding or massing. Holds its foliage un- 

 der all sorts of adverse conditions. The flowers are 

 deeply shaded coppery yellow in color, and are of 

 large size. A strong and vigorous grower and a good 

 and constant bloomer. Mad. Francisca Kruger is just 

 the Rose that will give you the utmost satisfaction.

 and perfectly double; flowers elegantly perfumed; col- 

 or beautiful dark-citron yellow, with apricot shadings, 

 and red centre; a strong grower and quite hardy, 

 blooming profusely.

 tiful Tea Roses recently introduced; large, full, globu- 

 lar flowers, having great depth and substance; color 

 delicate orange yellow, distinctly veined and bordered 

 with clear pink; altogether unique and remarkable and 

 exceedingly handsome; it makes fine, large, pointed

 stant bloomer; valuable for forcing and conservatory,

MARECHAL ROBERT 



A Charming Variety 

 We select this variety from among hundreds as ex- 

 tra good. The tlowers are full double and sweet; they 

 are borne in abundance on long, stiff stems all through 

 the growing season The color is pure white, faintly 

 tinged with blush and yellow; a good, healthy grower, 

 and altogether a pleasing and satisfactory Rose. 



MARIE VAN HOUTTE 



A Beautiful Rose 

 This exceedingly lovely variety cannot be surpassed 

 by any Rose of its color. In the open ground it is truly 

 magnificent. The flowers are extra large, very double 

 and full, and are deliciously scented. The color is pale 

 canary yellow, passing to rich creamy white, shaded 

 with pale rose. It grows strong and sturdily, and 

 blooms constantly and with great freedom. As an outdoor 

 Rose for bedding, massing or for single specimeus it cauuot 

 be exceeded. 



NIPHETOS 



One of the Best 



This splendid variety still holds the lead as being 

 the most elegant white Tea Rose among the older 

 sorts. The buds are remarkably long and large, mak- 

 ing this a splendid forcing Rose. The color is pure 

 snow white, sometimes very faintly tinged with pale 

 yellow. Remarkable in size and purity, and always 

 scarce. 



SOUVENIR DE CLAIRVAUX 



An Extra-Good Rose 

 This is a remarkably fine Rose, producing flowers 

 similar to Bridesmaid; the growth is extra strong, 

 fully as vigorous as Maman Cochet, one of the strong- 

 est-growing Roses. For general cultivation this is a 

 very fine Rose, and certainly cannot be surpassed. 

 The color is bright pinkish rose, shading lighter or 

 darker according to the season; thej' are large, full 

 and double, and remain on the bush for a long time. 

 It is a constant, profuse bloomer, and very fragrant. 

 A Rose that we recommend very highly, as it is ex- 

 ceptionally good in every way.
