this is one of the really superb roses, and 

 full}' the equal of any variety in this collec- 

 tion. We think it one of the very finest 

 roses in existence for garden cultivation ; it 

 is entirely hardy, blooms nearh; all the time, 

 bearing in profusion numbers of large, full, 

 double flowers of unusual beauty and won- 

 derful fragrance; color clear bright rose; 

 distinct and charming. This is one of the 

 largest bloomers among the hybrids. Price, 

 25c., 50c. and |i.oo each. 



Madame B. Duranthum. This is one 

 of the most unique colored roses in exist- 

 ence.. It produces a distinct globe shaped 

 bloom. It combines the delicate shades of 

 Princess Beatrice with the more luddy col- 

 oring of Madame Margottin. This is indeed 

 a beauty. 25c. , 50c. and fi.oo each. 



Mrs. Mawley. This grand variety em- 

 bodies so many good qualities that it is 

 difficult to describe it. We could say no 

 more in its praise than to say it is like 

 Maman Cochet, only several shades lighter 

 in color. Price, 25c., 50c. and $1.00 each. 



Queen Olga of Greece. This rose 

 comes to us very highly praised. It is 

 a strong grower and very free bloomer, bear- 

 ing large flowers of Ihe most delicate pink 

 shade. Price, 25c., 50c. and $r.oo each. 



Killarney. Flowers large and beauti- 

 fully formed, with enormous petals, bud as 

 long as Niphetos. Color salmon pink, deep 

 ening to rosy pink. Very free flowering, 

 extra fine. Petals being from an inch to an 

 inch and a h^^lfin diameter, and the blooms 

 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Vigorous grower, 

 beautiful copper colored foliage and a rose 

 which has given perfect satisfaction in our 

 gardens during the past. 25c., 50c. and

Coronet. The sweetest, largest and 

 freest blooming Hybrid Tea Rose in culti- 



vation. It is a cross between that superb 

 variety Paul Neyron and Bon Silene, two 

 grand old favorites. Coronet is a true ever- 

 blooming Hybrid Tea identical in form and. 

 size with Paul Neyron. No description or 

 illustration can do justice to the remarka- 

 ble beauty and splendor of its flowers. They 

 are grand in every way. From the time the 

 plant is four inches in height it blooms- 

 steadily, bearing in unbroken continuity,, 

 on good, stiff stems, magnificent large flow- 

 ers that frequently measure from four to six 

 inches in diameter. The form is full, deep 

 and wonderfully double. It is full to the 

 center, and when entirely open the flowers 

 do not look unlike Paeonies. This resem- 

 blance is made all the more striking by the 

 peculiar color, which is absolutely unlike 

 any rose we know. In the bud the color i^ 

 a deep, rich carmine, which as the flowers 

 open, lightens to a soft, clear pink, with each 

 petal distinctly edged with silvery gray. 

 The effect is beautiful. Price, 25c.. 50'c. 

 and $1.00 each.
