For beauty and size we place this vari- 

 ety at the head of the Hybrid Teas. The 

 foliage is an exact counterpart of its 

 parent, Viscountes's Folkestone. Its deli- 

 cate colors are hard to describe, being 

 delicately tinted flesh, almost white, and 

 lustrous as satin. When in full bloom it 

 resembles a fine, white, fluffy Peony, but 

 without a suggestion of stiffness, often 

 measuring eight to nine inches in diame- 

 ter. 25c., 50,, 75c. and $1.00 each. Extra 

 strong field-grown, $2.00 each. 



Striped Reine Marie Henrietta. (Md. 

 Driout.) (Climbing Tea.) As the name 

 implies, this is a sport from the old fa- 

 vorite, R. M. Henrietta, has the splendid 

 vigorous climbing habit of the mother 

 Rose, while beautifully 'striped, flamed 

 and shaded in light carmine over pale 

 rose. 25c., 50c., 75c. and $1.00 each. Ex- 

 tra strong field-grown, $2.00. 



The Baby Rambler, or Everblooming 

 Dwarf Crimson Rambler. — (Mme. Norbert 

 Levavasseur.) — Is a cross between Crim- 

 son Rambler and one of the Dwarf 

 Polyantha sorts, producing large trusses 

 of bright crimson flowers similar to the 

 Crimson Rambler, but instead of climb- 

 ing, the plants form dwarf, compact 

 bushes not over 18 inches high, with 

 clean, dark green foliage, Strong 4 inch 

 pot plants in bud or bloom, 50c. each. 



Antoine Ri voire. A handsome new 

 rose of vigorous habit of growth, with 

 large, full, Camelia-shaped flowers. Color 

 rosy flesh, on a yellow ground, shaded 

 with a border of carmine; flowers five 

 inches in diameter. A remarkable variety 

 of great worth. 25c. and 50c. each. 



Souvenir de Pierre Notting. (Tea.) 

 This variety is a seedling of M. Niel and 

 Maman Cochet, with beautiful closely set 

 foliage and a strong, sturdy habit of 

 growth. The bloom is very large, per- 

 fectly full, of elegant form. 25c., 50c., 

 11-00. 



Bessie Brown. A a rose of transcendent 

 beauty, totally distinct, and one of the 

 largest and fullest that we have ever 

 seen. It is erect and vigorous in growth, 

 flowering profusely in the open ground 

 all through the summer. Color pure 

 white, sometimes faintly flushed pink; 



petals enormous and of bell shape. It is 

 marvel-freely produced; 25c., 50c., $1.00. 



Helen Gould or Balduin. Large, hand- 

 some foliage, flowers of the fullest form 

 and largest size, which is equalled in 

 profusion by no other rose of its size 

 that we have ever seen. The color is 

 bright glowing carmine, and out-ranks all 

 others of its color. The bud is long and 

 elegantly pointed; it is as sweet as a 

 June rose; 25c., 50c. and extra strong 

 $1.00. 



Dinsmore. Large and perfectly double, 

 color rich crimson scarlet; very showy 

 and handsome; delightfully fragrant.

 and 50c. each and extra strong, $1.00. 



Madame Masson. Large, full, double 

 flowers of unusual beauty and wonderful 

 fragrance; color clear bright rose; dis- 

 tinct and charming. This is one of the 

 largest bloomers among the hybrids; 25c. 

 and 50c. each and extra strong, $1.00. 



Madame E. Duranthron. This is one of 

 the most unique colored roses in ex- 

 istence. It produces a distinct globe 

 shaped bloom. It combines the delicate 

 shades of Princess Beatrice with the 

 more ruddy coloring of Madame Margot- 

 tin. This is indeed a beauty; 25c. and 

 50c. each. 



Frances E. Willard or President Cleve- 

 land. (Climbing Marie Guillot.) The 

 Queen of White Roses; and while there' 

 are many white varieties of unquestion- 

 able excellence, there are none more 

 reliable for out-door cultivation than 

 Marie Guillot. It is one of the most rapid 

 growing and vigorous Climbing Roses 

 we have ever seen. It blooms continu- 

 ously throughout the season, the first and 

 every year. The flowers are magniflcent- 

 ly made, extra large, deep and double. 

 The buds are particularly beautiful and 

 the fragrance delightful. Price, 25c., 

 50c. and $1.00 each. 



We strongly advise shipping by Ex- 

 press whenever practicable; this will 

 enable us to send much stronger plants 

 and guarantee safer delivery. If ordered 

 by mail add 20 per cent of the value of 

 plants to cover postage.
