EVER- 

 BLOOMING 



ROSES OF PROVED MERIT 



READY FOR SHIPMENT DURING MARCH, APRIL, MAY AND JUNE 



Dame Edith Helen 



This grand rose is quite distinct and delightfully fragrant. Its 

 petals turn back with that beautiful reflex peculiar to La France. 

 Color a brilliant yet soft Rose du Barri pink. 



Double White Killeu'ney 



A pure white "sport" from the pink Killarney; equal to it in all the 

 good points of the latter, sui)erior to it in some. One strong point of 

 superiority is that it has more petals than the parent variety, and 

 these petals are of greater substance, so it is of greater value for 

 outdoor bedding. The buds and flowers are beautiful beyond de- 

 scription; many consider it easily the finest white garden Rose in 

 cultivation. 



Duchess of Wellington 



The ground color is chrome-yellow through which run veins of rich 

 orange and shadings of the same running into the rich yellow. Like 

 all high-colored Roses it varies, but the rule is, that it intensifies 

 rather than lightens in its wonderful shadings. 



Everest 



The flowers are of a large size and in form suggest Fran Karl 

 Druschki. Color pure white with a suggestion of cream. Remark- 

 ably fragrant, a strong healthy grower with bold handsome foliage. 

 The perfectly formed flowers are borne on long stems. 



Few Joseph Looymans 



The delightfully fragrant flowers are carried on long stiff stems. 

 The buds are long and pointed, brilliant orange buff color and open 

 into moderately double yellow flowers with apricot center. 



Jonkheer J. L. Mock 



A fine Rose for any purpose. Color is carmine to imperial-pink. 

 A strong, healthy grower, carrying its flowers on long, stiff stems; 

 they are full, of great size, having great substance and depth of 

 petal, with high center; very fragrant. 



John Russell 



One of the handsomest red roses, beautiful both in bud and in the 

 fully expanded flower. Every one admires it for its splendid form 

 and rich color, a very large double flower of a brilliant deep velvety 

 crimson, the growth is exceptionally strong, vigorous and hardy. 



Lady Forteviot 



Large ovoid buds opening to large moderately double flowers 

 that are delightfully fragrant. Color bright yellow flushed with 

 cardinal red. 



Lady Mary Elizabeth 



A variety of outstanding merit. Of strong, vigorous upright 

 branching habit with good healthy foliage and very prolific flowering. 

 Flowers delightfully fragrant. I^ong pointed buds with deep sub- 

 stantial petals, in color a brilliant carmine pink. 



long-stemmed flowers of a luminous flame-pink, toned with coral 

 and shaded with translucent gold at the base of the petals. In 

 richness of fragrance it equals in intensity the finest Marechal Niel. 

 The buds are long and pointed, and expand into a flower of mam- 

 moth proportions. 



Margaret McGredy 



One of McGredy's most brilliantly colored masterpieces, large, 

 beautifully shaped full double flowers distinct from all others in its 

 rich coloring which is a brilliant shade of Turkish or Oriental red, 

 passing as the flowers age to a beautiful carmine-rose. {See illus- 

 tration.) 



Marion Cran 



In the bud stage before the flowers expand the color is deep butter- 

 cup-yellow, margined and flushed cerise and rosy scarlet. As the 

 flower opens the outside of the petals retain their color, while the 

 inner side shows a brilliant geranium scarlet flushed and veined 

 orange and yellow. As the flowers age the color changes to a deep 

 cerise on rosy-scarlet flushed buttercup-yellow. (See illustration.) 



Mme. Butterfly 



A sport from Ophelia, retaining all the good qualities of its parent, 

 but with deeper shadings of apricot and gold on the salmon-pink 

 ground. 



Mme. Edouard Herriot 



This variety won the Daily Mail cup offered for the finest new 

 Rose at the International Rose Exhibition in England in 1912. 

 It is a wonderful Rose. The combination of color shown in the buds 

 and flowers is distinct and charming. In the bud it is coral-red 

 shaded with yellow at the base, the open flowers coral-red shaded 

 with yellow and bright rosy scarlet, passing to shrimp-red, flowers of 

 medium size well formed and not too full. The plant is a most 

 vigorous grower, of a spreading branching habit, with ample bronzy 

 green foliage. 



Mme. Jules Bouche 



A splendid Rose that should be in every garden, color salmon- 

 white, center shaded rose. Large and full, well-formed flowers. 



Mrs. A. R. Barraclough 



Pink sounds uninteresting in a new Rose, there being so many of 

 this shade, but in this new variety we have a most distinct and 

 valuable addition of a bright but soft sparkling carmine-pink of an 

 even shade, passing to yellow at the base of the petals. The color 

 does not fade as the flower ages but appears to become brighter. 



Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom 



It is of healthy vigorous growth v^^th abundant dark bronzy 

 disease-resisting foliage. The medium sized buds are long and 

 shapely, and develop into good sized full double very shapely flowers 

 of a rich deep lemon yellow sweetly scented. (See illustration.) 



Los Angeles 



This is, by all odds, one of the finest Roses ever introduced. The 

 growth is very vigorous and produces a continuous succession of 



Prices for any of the above strong 2-year-old pot grown plants. $1.00 each; $12.00 per doz. Purchaser pays transportation 



on Roses. 



Mrs. Henry Bowles 



A prodigous bloomer, one of the freest known, remarkably healthy 

 and vigorous. Color brilliant pink with lighter salmon-pink shadings.
