Roses for Winter Blooming. 



The following are the most popular and most vahiable varieties for winter blooming. They are the most 

 beautiful of all roses, being the kinds grown by the leading rose growers for the New York market. July and 

 August is the proper time to plant roses for winter bloom, 



Stronff plants from 4 in. pots, ea., 20c; doz., $2.00; 100, $15.00. 

 BonSilene. Beautiful rosy carmine buds, delightfully 

 fragrant. Old and popular. Flowers only semi-double 

 when open and fall quickly. 



Bride. The most beautiful and most popular pure 

 white Tea Rose. Buds and flower are large, double, 

 beautifully formed, petals of great substance and deli- 

 cately perfumed. It is a strong grower, healthy and 

 profuse. Succeeds well with everybody. 



Bridesmaid. A sport from Catherine Mermet, retain- 

 ing all the good qualities of that fine variety and with 

 added depth of color ; just enough to make it bright and 

 rendering it the finest pink rose in cultivation. 



IMad. Caroline Testout. Both flowers and buds are 

 extra large and of very elegant form; the color is bril- 

 liant, satiny rose, deepening at center to clear red. 

 The petals are large and of elegant La France form; 

 exquisitely edged and bordered with clear silver rose. 



Catherine IMermet. Silvery, satiny rose, large, exquis- 

 itely formed and full, with a sweet but faint perfmne. 



Duchess of Albany. Similar in all respects to the La 

 France, from which variety it is a sport, except in color, 

 being a I'ich, deep, even pink. Equally vigorous, pro- 

 lific and fragrant. 



Kaiserine Augusta Victoria. A most lovely and valu- 

 able rose. Color, soft pearly white, fragrant, a strong, 

 healthy grower, with bold, beautiful foliage. The habit 

 is free and the perfectly-shaped flowers are borne in 

 profusion on long graceful stems. 



La France. Flowers large and beautiful, either in 

 bud or when expanded; peach-blossom color, shaded 

 pink and silvery rose. It is very free-blooming; every 

 shoot forming a flower. In addition it is qiiite hardy 

 and most deliciously fragrant. 



I^eteor. One of the most brilliant roses we have. The 

 color is rich, velvety crimson, exceedingly bright and 

 striking, and both buds and flowers ai e large and ele- 

 gantly formed, fully double, and borne on long stems. 

 It is a vigorous and healthy grower, and a quick and 

 constant bloomer. 



Sunset. Similar in all respects to Perle des Jardins 

 except in color, which is a rich amber. Foliage beau- 

 tiful reddish-bi onze. Very fine. 



BRIDESMAID. 



IMrs. Pierpont IMorgan. A very great improvement 

 upon Mad. Cusiu, of which variety it is a sport. It is 

 much deeper in color than its parent and double the 

 size of flower. Its color is described as a true cerise, 

 with a faint tint of pale yellow at the base of the petals. 

 It is also a much stronger grower than Mad. Cusin, 

 many of the flowers being produced on stems 15 to 20 

 inches long, and the individual flowers, when well 

 grown, measuring over four inchesin diameter. 



Saf rano . Bright apricot yellow, very fragrant ; splen- 

 did buds and a free bloomer.
