Two New American Roses. 



NEW TEA ROSE SANTA ROSA 

 (IMPROVED HERMOSA) 

 (Burbank). 



Raised by Luther Burbank, whose skill as a hybrid- 

 izer has earned for him the title, "The Wizard of 

 Horticulture." Seedlings of Hermosa are scarce, as 

 it is a shy seeder. This lovely new sort is a cross be- 

 tween Hermosa and a thick-petaled seedling of the 

 well-known Bon Silene, and will prove hardy every- 

 where with slight protection. SANTA RoSA is a Rose 

 wonderfully improved in size, brilliancy of color and 

 perfection of form, with Hermosa's reckless habit of 

 blooming at all seasons. Every little plant commences 

 to bloom as soon as it starts from a cutting. It grows 

 almost as freely as grass. Flowers rich shell pink, 

 inclining to crimson ; full, double, reflex petals. A 

 compact grower. Foliage always free from rust, mil- 

 dew or any defect. Not a transient novelty, but a 

 Rose for everybody. 



Strong young plants, 60 cts. each. 



NEW HYBRID TEA ROSE PINK BEDDER 

 (Meehan). 

 Raised from seed of General Jacqueminot crossed 

 with Virginia, therefore is a Hybrid Tea. It is a 

 remarkable fact that it shows no trace of either parent, 

 which is characteristic of many cross-bred varieties. 

 The color is a charming peach-blow pink or pale rose, 

 deepening toward the centre, reminding one of a per- 

 fect Hermosa, although more double than the latter. 

 The flower is medium in size, very full and beautifully 

 cupped, and is borne on stiff, erect stems. It is very 

 free flowering, and whether in the open ground or in- 

 doors is always a mass of flowers throughout the Sum- 

 mer. It blooms the first vear, and will continue to 

 bloom throughout the Winter indoors. It has a 

 charming fragrance, not unlike that of the old Prov- 

 ence Rose. It is perfectly hardy and has withstood 



our Winters without protection of any kind. This 

 Rose is destined to become immensely popular, as it 

 combines every feature that makes a first-class, all- 

 around Rose. Strong young plants, 60 cts. each. 



SPECIAL OFFER.— One each Santa Rosa and Pink 

 Bedder, the American Rose novelties, for $1, postpaid 



by Mail.

 New Beauties. 



NEW HYBRID TEA ROSE AURORA 

 (Wm. Paul & Son). 



Introducer's description: "Centre of flower rich, 

 bright pink, shading paler toward the outside; large, 

 full and imbricated. Buds very rich and produced 

 continually in large masses ; growth vigorous ; foliage 

 fine. A most effective Rose, and a fine addition to 

 the increasing popular class of Hybrid Tea Roses and 

 to the pink shades of color so much in vogue for gar- 

 den and house decoration." 



We recommend this variety as extra fine. Strong 

 young plants, 75 cts. each. 



NEW TEA ROSE M. ADA CARMODY 

 (Wm. Paul & Son). 



Introducer's description: "A new variety of the 

 delicately tinted class of Tea Roses so beautiful in the 

 flower but so difficult to describe. The ground color 

 is ivory white, beautifully tinted and edged with vari- 

 ous shades of pink, the centre slightly tinged with 

 yellow ; large and full ; fine, long buds ; growth mod- 

 erate ; quite first class." 



Strong young plants, 75 cts. each. 



SPECIAL OFFER.— One plant each of the two re- 

 markable new English Roses described above, postpaid by 

 Mail, for '$1.25; including Santa Rosa and Pink Bedder, 

 four in all, for $2, 



The Roses illustrated in color in this catalogue were painted from and are true to nature and are not exag- 

 gerated. In fact our artist found it exceedingly difficult to do justice to their extraordinary beauty. "We drew 

 upon the whole world for our color-plate Roses, and offer them to you as the result of the zealous efforts of our | 

 agents, in whose judgment they were considered novelties of great merit and worthy of the most prominent 

 notice. They are the kind of Roses which when seen are instantly admired. They are the newest, best and 

 prettiest Roses in the world.
