FRAGRANT "COLLECTION 



OF H^RDY EVEIt'BLOOMiNG ROSES 



SEE COLORED PLATE OPPOSITE 



In the Fragrant Collection of Roses shown in colors on the opposite page are 

 Six Hardy Ever-Blooming Roses carefully selected from the many we offer. They 

 are varieties which have demonstrated their superior merit, and in our opinion are the 

 cream of the newer kinds. For vigorous growth, healthy and abundant foHage, pro- 

 fusion of bloom, beautiful formation and exquisite coloring of the flowers they are unexcelled. 

 Buyers may feel assured that they are obtaining the best that it is possible to procure in the number offered. 

 The numbers on the Colored Plate are a Key to the varieties as numbered below. The smallest or third size are sturdy and 

 compact plants from 3-inch pots and will under ordinary conditions give an abundance of bloom, but the larger sizes will, of course, 

 bloom earlier and more profusely. 



We will send Free with each collection our pamphlet on "The Garden Culture of the Rose," which gives full detailed instructions 

 on planting and care. 



No. 1 New Hardy Ever-Bloonning Rose 



PRINCE ENGELBERT C. D'ARENBERG 



A fine erect grower with ample dark-green healthy foliage. As a garden 

 Rose it is a variety of exceptional merit and one that will bloom continu- 

 ously. The color is brilliant fiery scarlet. The bud is long and pointed, 

 developing into a flower of wonderful lasting qualities, not only as to the 

 retention of its color, but also its shape and freshness. This, together with 

 its delightful fragrance, makes it one of the best Roses we offer. 



Price, 1st size. 75c. each, S7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, S6.00 per doz. ; 

 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 25c. each, S2.50 per doz. 



No. 2 New Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose 



FRANCIS CHARTERIS SETON 



This variety is remarkable for its robust habit and the profuse manner in 

 which it blooms from early in the summer until the autumn is well advanced. 

 The color is deep rose-pink. The buds are large and pointed with the petals 

 nicely arranged, and develop into a flower of perfect form and great sub- 

 stance. It is essentially a garden Rose. On account of its delightful 

 fragrance, freedom of bloom and strong, sturdy growth it is one of the most 

 satisfactory of the newer sorts. 



Price, 1st size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, S6.00 per doz.; 

 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 25c. each. $2.50 per doz. 



A THIRD SIZE ROSES 



ARE GROWN IN THREE-INCH POTS 



They are superior to the young 

 Roses from 2-inch pots usually 

 sent out because the larger pot 

 gives ample room for root action 

 and allows the plant to grow 

 naturally. They are sturdy and 

 compact and 

 when sent by ex- 

 press with the 

 soil on the roots, 

 transpl anting 

 scarcely checks 

 their growth. 



In the cut we 

 show a fair sam- 

 ple of a 2-inch 

 pot plant as usu- 

 ally sent out by 

 the mail trade 

 and a fair sample 

 taken from our 

 stock growing in 

 a 3-inch pot.

No. 3 



New Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose 



OPHELIA 



Unquestionably the finest Rose of its color introduced in a decade. Whether 

 considered from the standpoint of the commercial cut-flower grower or from 

 its fitness for garden work, this Rose is without a superior, and it is doubtful 

 if it has an equal. The growth is vigorous, the foliage dark green and very 

 handsome, but the glory of the variety is in the flower. It is large both in 

 the bud and expanded flower, double to the center and opens beautifully. 

 The coloring is exquisite and may be described as brilliant salmon flesh, 

 shaded with rose at the edge of the petals, while the center is a beautiful 

 blending of peach-pink and orange salmon. 



Price. 1st size. 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 

 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



No. 4 New Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose 



FRANCIS SCOTT KEY 



An American seedling raised by Mr. John Cook, the raiser of Cardinal, 

 Radiance and other fine Roses. It is a seedling of Cardinal crossed with an 

 unnamed crimson seedling and is a grand acquisition to our red Roses. A 

 strong sturdy grower whether planted out in the open or on benches in the 

 greenhouse. The flowers are a deep red, of largest size, with finely formed 

 petals of great substance. The stems are strong and straight, holding the 

 flovyers erect. The profusion of bloom is truly marvellous, every shoot pro- 

 ducing a flower. We have every confidence that this grand new variety will 

 attain the widest popularity as an outdoor bedding Rose on account of its 

 free habit, superb color and fine double flowers. 



Price. 1st size. 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, $6 00 per doz.; 

 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



No. 5 New Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose 



JONKHEER J. L. MOCK 



We cannot speak too highly of this superb Rose. It created a sensation 

 when first introduced, and is undoubtedly one of the grandest Hybrid Tea 

 Roses ever offered. Makes splendid buds and immense flowers; perfectly 

 double and delightfully fragrant. A healthy, vigorous grower, a constant 

 and abundant bloomer. The color is carmine changing to imperial pink as 

 the flower opens. Owing to the great depth and firm heavy texture of the 

 petals the flowers keep well both on the bush and after cutting. 



Price, 1st size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 

 3d size, from 3-inch pots, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



No. 6 New Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose 



MABEL DREW 



A truly magnificent Rose, superb in every respect. It is exquisitely 

 shaped, with smooth, circular petals of great substance, arranged in perfect 

 symmetry. The blooms are large and full, carried on strong and erect flower 

 stalks. The color is deep cream in the young state, passing to intense 

 canary-yellow in the center as the flower develops. It is a Hybrid Tea Rose 

 with "a deliciously refreshing perfume. The flowers are produced continu- 

 ously and in great profusion. A vigorous grower with rich cedar-green 

 foliage. Awarded Gold Medal National Rose Society of England.
