Tea Rose. Lady Hillingdon 



Select Tea Roses 



Tea Roses have always been admired for their delicious 



fragrance and for their delicacy of coloring, but many of the 



varieties have now been superseded by the Hybrid-Tea class. 



Harry Kirk. A splendid Rose of free-branching habit, 

 flowering continuously; the blooms are large, of great sub- 

 stance; the form is perfect, the buds long and elegant; 

 color sulphur-yellow, passing to a lighter shade at the edges 

 of the petals. 



Lady Hillingdon. Coppery apricot-yellow, beautiful in 

 the bud; a strong grower and very free-flowering. 



Maman Cochet. An extra strong grower, producing its 

 large buds and flowers in the greatest profusion; color deep 

 rose-pink; very double and exquisite in bud, or when full- 

 blown. 



White Maman Cochet. Identical to the above except in 

 color which is a creamy white. 



William R. Smith. One of our best bedding Roses; 

 flowers large, of elegant form; creamy- white with light 

 rose shadings. 



Winnie Davis. Very free flowering, apricot shaded pink 

 passing to flesh pink at edges. 



Price. Any of the above, SI. 00 each; one each of the 6 sorts, 

 S5.00. 



Austrian and Hybrid Brier Roses 



Austrian Copper. Bright coppery-red, reverse of petals 



golden yellow. 

 Beaute de Lyon. Forms a large, globular flower of 



splendid shape, of a coral-red color shaded with yellow. 

 Harrison's Yellow. Fine double golden-yellow flowers. 

 Juliet. Outside of petals old gold, interior rich rosy-red 



changing to deep rose as the flowers expand; of delicious 



fragrance. 

 Persian Yellow. Medium sized deep yellow double 



flowers, very hardy; to flower freely should receive little 



or no pruning. 

 Price. Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each. 



Lord Penzance's 

 Hybrid Sweet Brier Roses 



These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common Sweet Brier and 

 various other Roses, and like their parent, the foliage is deliciously scented. 

 Perfectly hardy. For best effect should be grown as pillar Roses. 

 Amy Robsart. Splendid deep rose color. 

 Anne of Geirstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 

 Bradwardine. Clear pink flowers of fine form. 

 Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper with metallic lustre, the 



base of each petal is yellow. 



Lord Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or ecru, passing to a lovely lemon- 

 yellow in the centre, sometimes toned with a most delicate pink; a good 

 grower and abundant bloomer, very sweet-scented. 



Price. Strong two-year-old plants, $1 .00 each. Set of 5 varieties, §4.50. 



Moss Roses 



The beauty of the Moss Rose consists in the delicate mossy covering 

 which surrounds the buds. Moss Roses should be pruned sparingly; cut 

 out the old wood and merely cut back the growth of last year. 

 Blanche Moreau. Large pure white. 

 Crested Moss. Rose color, beautifully crested. 

 Henry Martin. Fine crimson, very vigorous. 

 Princess Adelaide. Bright silvery rose, large. 

 Salet. Large, full double, light rose.

 Set of 5 sorts, $3.50.
