Cbe Queen of all pink 

 6arden Roses 



JVIAMAN COCHET. 



Another year of careful tests and 

 observations convinces us that for 

 real satisfaction this is perhaps the best 

 Pink Rose for open-ground cultivation. 

 It is hardly ever without flowers. Many 

 of the popular pink Roses, while highly 

 meritorious and satisfactory, appear to a dis- 

 advantage alongside of this new French variety. 

 Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed by 

 Maman Cochet is well-nigh marvelous and can- 

 not be seen in any other Rose we know. The buds 

 are beautiful, large, full and firm and elegantly pointed ; 

 as they expand the petals show great depth and richness, 

 sometimes measuring two-and-a-half inches from base to 

 tip. The flower is superb when open, extra large, per- 

 fectly double, and of splendid substance. Small pot plants 

 when planted in open ground quickly make large, strong 

 bushes that produce, on long, stiff stems, great numbers 

 of perfect flowers that are enchanting in fragrance and deli- 

 cate brightness. 



COLOR 



it need only be said that it is a clear, rich pink, changing to silvery rose. 

 It is a strong, healthy grower, absolutely free from disease. Blooms 

 constantly and profusely ; is hardy with ordinary protection. It is the 

 queen of all pink garden Roses. 



As we see it, one good Rose like Maman Cochet is worth a whole 

 collection of poor ones — at any price. This new variety has unusual 

 value, and we consider it one of the best ever-blooming Tea Roses in 

 cultivation. Mons. Cochet, the originator, refused one thousand dollars 

 for the original stock of a few plants. Its worth is not overestimated. 

 If you wanta'Rose that will give you satisfaction from the day it is 

 planted, we would urge you to plant extensively of Maman Cochet.

WHITE riAflAN COCHET. 



This superb variety is identical with its parent, MaMAN CocHET, a queen 

 among pink garden Roses, except in color of flower, which is snowy white, some- 

 times faintly tinged with the faintest suggestion of pale blush. It has the same 

 freedom of bloom, magnificent form of buds and flowers which is marvelously 

 beautiful in its perfection. Of unusually heavy texture, making it of more than ordinary value in the 

 open ground. It has the vigor of an oak with heavy foliage, which is impervious to disease; hardy 

 with protection.
