F. W. BOLGIANO & CO., INC. 



ROSES — ( Continued ) 



White Killarney. This variety possesses all 

 the good points of, and is identical in every way 

 with, its parent, except in color, which is ot a 

 clear white. Its parent, Killarney, though in- 

 troduced only ten years ago, has for several 

 years been one ot the most popular Eoses. White 

 Killarney has great freedom of bloom, beautiful 

 form and perfect hardiness, which, together 

 with its purity of color, assures for it the same 

 popularity. In naming a select list of leaders 

 for general planting, I should certainly include 

 White Killarney, because I know its merits so 

 well. Price, strong mailing size, 15 cts. ; 2- 

 year plants, 40 cts. ; 3 years old, 60 cts. 



Frau Karl Druichki. White. Called by some 

 "White American Beauty." Strictly speaking, 

 this Rose does not belong in the Hybrid Tea 

 class, as it is a pure Hybrid Perpetual. It is, 

 however, such a constant and persistent bloomer 

 that it will pass for a Hybrid Tea. The bud is 

 long and pointed, of the finest form, often deli- 

 cately marbled with carmine on the outer petals, 

 opening to an enormous flower absolutely pure 

 snow-white, unquestionably the whitest Rose 

 known. The growth is exceedingly strong, vig- 

 orous and healthy. Price, mailing size, from 

 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 40 

 ets. ; extra-heavy 3-year plants, 60 cts.; 4-year 

 Immense plants, 85 cts. 



White La France, or Augustine Guinoisseau. 

 Recommended to all, whether for outdoor cul- 

 ture or for pots in the house in winter. If you 

 were to ask for six of the very finest Roses, I 

 should be sure to include it in the six. It is 

 Identical with La France, except in color. It is 

 pearly white, sometimes tinted with fawn. 

 Price, mailing size, 15 cts.; strong 2-year 

 plants, 40 cts. 



Dean Hole. Pink. An intense salmon-pink, 

 with bud of extraordinary length opening into 

 a mammoth bloom of splendid substance. An 

 English gold-medal Rose that ranks with the 

 best. Price, 10 cts. ; 2-year plants, 40 cts. 



Wm. Shean. Pink. A fine grower; large, 

 pointed flowers of Killarney-plnk; full, free aud 

 perpetual; one of the very largest of Roses. 

 Price, 15 cts.; 3-Inch pots, 25 cts.; 2-year 

 plants, 40 cts. 



Duchess of Wellington. Yellow. The color 

 Is at first an intense saffron yellow, stained 

 with crimson, which, as the flowers develop, 

 changes to a deep coppery yellow. Old gold 

 would better describe it; it is a particular 

 shade of color not seen in other roses, one that 

 is quite unique, and will attract instant atten- 

 tion in any collection. When a number are 

 massed together there is no rose that can equal 

 it in decorative effect. The blooms are semi- 

 double, resembling Killarney in shape, but the 

 individual petals are larger and the rose is of 

 the very largest size and delightfully fragrant. 

 The plant is sturdy, stocky and a very strong 

 grower. It is one of the roses that you cannot 

 do without. Price, 1-year mailing size, 15 cts. ; 

 strong 2-year plants, 40 cts.; extra 3-year 

 plants, 60 cts.

La France. Pink. Accounts come from all 

 quarters every year describing the great pro- 

 fusion of its bloom from June until frost, and 

 extolling its fragrance and immense size. It is 

 of superb form, and double as a Rose can be. 

 It is famed for its delicate coloring — silvery 

 rose shaded with pink. It has a satin sheen 

 over all its petals. Entirely hardy. Price, mail- 

 ing size, 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 40 cts. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. White. One of 

 the most beautiful of all Roses for open-ground 

 culture. It is a strong, healthy grower, and as 

 hardy as any of the Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 

 Blooms steadily from early spring until severe 

 frost; in fact, it is as free-blooming as any Tea 

 Rose. Elegant, large, pointed buds, and large, 

 full-double flowers; color delicate creamy 

 white; deliciously fragrant. 



Mme. Caroline Testout. Pink. Planted in 

 the nursery rows with all the other good Roses, 

 you can pick it out across a ten-acre field on 

 account of its immense size and brilliant color. 

 Probably no Rose stands higher in public esti- 

 mation today than La France, but Mme. Caro- 

 line Testout is decidedly deeper and more bril- 

 liant in color and a larger flower, and is as 

 good in other ways. Petals large, exquisitely 

 edged and bordered with clear silver rose.

TEA ROSES 



This class of Roses is distinguished by a deli- 

 cate tea fragrance and an absolutely ever- 

 blooming habit. Most varieties are not so hardy 

 as the Hybrid Tea class, but they may be car- 

 ried through the winter even in the Northern 

 States with careful protection, banking up with 

 soil probably being the most satisfactory 

 method. The Cochet varieties are nearly or 

 quite as hardy as the Hybrids. Price of all 

 Tea Roses, except where noted: 1-year mailing 

 size, 10 cts. ; strong 2-year plants, 25 cts. 



Souv. de Pierre Notting. Yellow. This beau- 

 tiful Tea Rose is an introduction of one of the 

 foremost firms of France, and has not been ex- 

 ceeded in merit by any Rose yet sent out from 

 that country. Blooms very large, well filled 

 and open easily; beautiful, elongated bud. 

 Color apricot-yellow tinged with golden, mixed 

 with orange-yellow, edge of petals shaded beau- 

 tiful carmine-rose; open flower is full and 

 double and of good substance; extremely free 

 flowering. Mailing plants, 10 ets. ; 2-year-ohl 

 plants. 35 cts. 



White Maman Cochet, or Priscilla. A charm- 

 ing white Tea Rose. A child of that grandest 

 of bedding or outdoor Roses, Maman Cochet; 

 identical with that variety except in color. 

 Hardy in Northern Ohio, with slight protection 

 in winter. The flowers are enormous, remark- 

 ably round and full; white and delightfully tea- 

 scented. Price, mailing size, 15 ets.; 2-year 

 plants, 35 cts.; 3 years old, 50 cts. 



Pink Maman Cochet. The queen of all pink 

 garden Roses. Clear, rich pink, changing to 

 silvery rose. The buds are beautiful, large, 

 full and firm and elegantly pointed; as they 

 expand they show great depth and richness, 

 sometimes measuring 2% inches from base to 

 tip. Small pot-plants will, in the open ground, 

 quickly make large, strong bushes, and produce 

 on long, stiff stems great numbers of perfectly- 

 formed flowers. Perfectly hardy in all sec- 

 tions. Price, 2-year plants, 35 cts. ; 3-year, 

 50 cts.
