THE QUEEN 



A Fine New White Rose 

 Was introduced by us in 1889. It 

 is a large, pure white, free-bloom- 

 ing Tea Rose, the oflfspring of that 

 fine old Rose, the SOUV. D'UN 

 AMIE; it is a continuous bloomer, 

 producing successive crops of buds 

 and flowers in great profusion; the 

 buds are beautifully formed, with 

 large petals of best substance ; 

 shows the center but slightly 

 when fully open; color pure 



best of its color ; the buds and flowers are unusually 

 rge, finely formed, very double and full, and delic- 

 iously perfumed : it is a strong healthy grower and a 

 quick and constant bloomer; does well in open 

 ground and is particularly valuable for growing in 

 greenhouse for cut flowers, as it produces abundantly 

 and its blooms are of the most desirable form and 

 quality for floral work, bouquets, wreaths, etc. We 

 notice in open ground the flowers are some- 

 times delicately tinged witli pink, milking it 

 exceedingly attractive ; almost every one who plants 

 Roses wants one or more Brides. There are many 

 white Roses, but none more satisfactory than this 

 lovely variety. 



snowy -white; exquisitely scented ; a vigorous and healthy 

 grower ; one of the best, if not the best White Tea Rose now 

 in cultivation. 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 9for$l; iwo-year- 

 old plants, 30 cts. each. 



SYLPH 



A Much Admired New Rose 

 A strong erect grower, and abundant bloomer, most desir- 

 able for garden planting and cutting purposes. Exquisitely 

 beautiful and richly tea-scented flowers, ivory white, 

 tinted -with peacb. color, center creamy pink, a beau- 

 tiful blending of colors. Large, high-centered flower,«, with 

 deep, stiff petals. 



TWO SUPERB NEW ROSES 

 RED Perhaps the most sought-after yellow 



MARECHAL I^ose, particularly for growing in the 

 mVcm Southern and Southwestern States, is 



NltL thatgloriousRoseMARECHALNIEL. 



Without a rival in the sunny South, where it attains a de- 

 gree of perfection seldom seen in any Rose ; in the North 

 with careful protection during the Wiuttrit gives equal 

 satisfaction. In Red Marechal Niel we have a companion 

 to this splendid variety, and to White Marechal Niel de- 

 scribed below. Red MarechalNiel is the resultof across be- 

 tween General Jacqueminot and Yellow Marechal Niel, 

 and was introduced by one of the leading rosariansof 

 Europe. The flowers are large both in bud and open 

 flower, the same as Marechal Niel, being almost identical 

 in shape and formation. The color is carmine red, 

 shading to pink, delightfully fragrant. Very beautiful 

 aud exceedingly scarce. It is a strong grower, and of 

 the same degree of hardiness as Marechal Niel. Price of 

 one-year-old plants 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; two-year old 

 plants, 40 cts. each. 



VVHITE MARECHAL NIEL 



A description of this grand variety is scarcely necessarj-, 

 inasmuch as it is identical with its parent, Yellow Mare- 

 chal Niel, with the exception of the color of the flower, 

 which is pure white. Like Red an 1 Yellow Marechal 



Niel this variety is particularly adapted to growing where 

 the climate is mild, while if carefifllv protected in the 

 North will rank among the best of its class. 15 cts. each ; 

 4 tor 50 cts.; tM'o-year-old plants, 35 cts. each. 



VALLE DE CHAMOUNIX. 



A Changeable Rose 

 This is one of the really elegantRoses, distinct and beauti- 

 ful ; very double, full and sweet ; buds exceedingly pretty. 

 The color is rich, anci, like BEAUTE INCONSTANTE, is 

 variable. One bush will produce flowers of many different 

 colors, that are rich and charming in the extreme. Tlie 

 colors range from coppery yello^v to rosy blusli and 

 crimson. The fragrance is delicious and dij-tinctly ditferent 

 from any other variety we know. It is rich and sn"cgeots the 

 delicious fragrance found in Cheny blossoms. This is an 

 exceedingly fine Rose and one that every one will like. 15 cts. 

 each ; 4 for 50 cts.; for $1 ; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



WHITE BOUGERE 



A Splendid Outdoor Rose 

 For open ground planting it has no superior. The flowers 

 are unusually large, deep, full and double ; long, stiff stems, 

 and borne throughout the season in great abundance. The 

 color Is pure ivory wliite. Better than NIPMETOS. 

 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1 ; twoyear-old plants 35 cts. 

 each.

Cincinnati, Ohio, April 4th, 1902. 



Gentlemen :— "Sly first purchase of Roses from you, 

 received last year, boie quite abundantly and" the 

 flowers were maguiticent to behold. I wish to con- 

 gratulate you upon the elegance of their bloom, and 

 to say that they excited my admiration, not only by 

 their symmetry, completeness and freedom of bloom, 

 but by their splendid growing qualities as well. 



When it is considered that all were one-year-old 

 plants, it seems almost incredible that they should 

 have done so well. 



I wish to write especially of the " Helen Qouldand 

 Mrs. Robert Peary" Roses; the flowers they bore 

 wc-e matchless and exquisite, exceeding anything I 

 have ever seen, and for freedom of bloom were ^ 

 unsurpassed. W 



Yours truly, ^ 



JESSE W. KITTENING. \
