A HAKDY 

 YELLOW ROSE, 



SOLEIL D'OR, oBTde^n^ 



SUN. 



A cross between "Persian Yellow" and " Antoine Ducher." 

 It retains a good deal of the character of the former in the wood 

 and bark, but the foHage is vastly improved, being large and 

 very plentiful. The habit of the plant is robust, producing 

 vigorous shoots in abundance, branches, straight and of good 

 size. The coloring of the flowers is very rich, a marvelously 

 rich shade of chrome-yellow with a glint of coppery-rose in 

 the center. The expanded flower is full, large and globular, 

 the center petals being well incurved, forming a perfectly double 

 bloom. The coloring in the fully expanded flower is gloriously 

 superb, Turneresque in its blending of reddish-gold, orange- 

 yellow, nasturtium-red and opaline-pink. Words are inade- 

 quate to fittingly describe the almost riotous luxury of rich, 

 warm color contained in each bud and open flower. A Hardy 

 Yellow Rose, one that is really hardy in the north in this 

 country, has been the goal for which the world's best hybridizers 

 have been striving for years. This rose is not grown on 

 its own roots; all are budded on briar stock. {See cut.)

New, Crimson Scarlet, Hardy Ever' Blooming Rose, 



GENERAL McARTHUR. 



We have pleasure in offering this fine Rose, confident 

 that it will please. It has had a thorough test in the 

 hands of numerous experienced Rose growers, and been 

 placed before critical judges, who fail to find the slight- 

 est defect in it as an all-round garden Rose. It also 

 has been thoroughly tested by us both outdoors and in 

 greenhouses, and we are fully convinced that it is a 

 grand improvement in the class of ever-blooming 

 hardy red Roses. In color, it is the brightest amongst 

 all the Roses, being a vivid crimson-scarlet. Of free- 

 branching habit of growth; very vigorous and healthy, 

 every shoot producing a flower; and hardy enough to 

 withstand our severe winters. (See cut.) 



Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.; 2d size, 35c. 

 each, $3.50 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 



White Baby Gambler. CATHERINE ZEIMET. 



This is surely a beauty and a great addition to the " Baby 

 Ramblers." It grows to a height of 15 to 20 inches, and pro- 

 duces double, pure white flowers in wonderful abundance. It 

 has a fragrance similar to Hyacinths. Of free, compact growth 

 and very attractive, a sheet of white and always in bloom. 

 Valuable for summer bedding or winter blooming. 



Pink Baby Rambler, PHYLLIS. 



A perfect counterpart of the crimson " Baby Rambler " in 

 habit. This makes a dense little bush, symmetrical in shape and 

 covered with beautiful cerise-pink flowers, clusters of them. As 

 a bedding variety it is splendid and if grown in pots during 

 summer, makes a most satisfactory plant for winter blooming. 



Crimson Baby Rambler. Madame Norbcrt Lcvavasseur. 



It forms compact bushes about 2 feet high, covered with 

 clusters of rich, crimson-red flowers throughout the season. 

 Perfectly hardy. The coloring is brighter and more persistent 

 than in its parent, the " Crimson Rambler." The size of the 

 clusters and the number of flowers in each are the marvel of all 

 beholders. As a bedding variety, to make a low, attractive 

 hedge to border a walk, for planting in cemeteries, or for grow- 

 ing in pots in the house, it is equally valuable. 



Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, 

 S3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., .$6.00 per 100. 



Special Offer, Set of 3 " Baby Ramblers," 1st size, $1.25; 

 2il size, 75c.; 3d size, 25c. 



A Magnificent Hardy Ever-blooming Rose, " MAGNAFRANO " 



It combines the hardiness and vigor of the Hybrid Perpetual 

 with the free-blooming habit and delightful fragrance of the Tea 

 Roses. The flowers are large, full and double; color, clear deep 

 rosy red. It is a strong, healthy grower, a constant and abund- 

 ant bloomer. It is one of the healthiest Roses we have; strong, 

 bushy habit, with foliage like the " General Jacqueminot," but 

 free from the diseases peculiar to Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 



Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.; 2d size, 35c. each, 

 $3.50 per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz.
