Ever-blooming Tea Roses-continued. 



; MARIE VAN HOUTTE. a Beautiful Rose.- 



This exceedingly lovely variety cannot be surpassed by 

 any Rose of its color. In the open ground it is truly mag- 

 nificent. The flowers are extra large, very double and 

 full, and are deliciously scented. The color is pale canary 

 yellow, passing to rich creamy white, shaded with pale rose. 

 It grows strong and sturdily, and blooms constantly and 

 with great freedom. As an outdoor Rose for bedding, 

 massing or for single specimens it cannot be exceeded. 



MEDEA. — A new Rose of exquisite kind and color, 

 ranked by many enthusiasts as the best yellow Tea Rose, 

 The flowers are of large size, perfectly double to the centre 

 and perfect in shape both in bud and blossom. The color 

 is magnificent— deep rich lemon yellow with creamy yellow 

 centre with tints of sulphur. It is beautiful beyond descrip- 

 tion. A strong healthy grower and one of the grandest 

 Roses in this book. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for ^i. 

 Two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



MRS. PIERPONT MORGAN. _ An exceedingly 

 scarce and valuable Rose. Of its color it is perhaps un- 

 surpassed. Combined with its sturdy, vigorous growth, it 

 produces with astonishing freedom its superb flowers 

 throughout the entire growing season. The flowers are 

 finely made, full, deep and double ; the buds are long and 

 exquisitely shaped. The color is intense, rosy crimson, 

 distinct and beautiful. Will surely please everybody. 15 

 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for ^i. Two-year-old plants, 30 

 cts. each. 



PRINCESS DE SAGAN. ^ rich Crimson Tea 

 Rose. — Crimson is a scarce color among Tea Roses, and 

 for that reason, as well as for its vigorous growth, this is a 

 Rose of great value and beauty. The color is rich velvety 

 crimson, brilliantly beautiful. It blooms quickly and 

 abundantly ; in fact is one of the freest blooming of Tea 

 Roses. The flowers are very prettily made, while the buds 

 are exceedingly handsome. In its color it is unexcelled 

 for outdoor culture. 



SAFRANO. A Fine Old Rose.— This is a splendid 

 old-time Rose that has not been superseded by any new- 

 comer of its class or color. It is a variety of great value, 

 particularly for outdoor planting. It grows vigorously and 

 has the vitality necessary to produce a continuous crop of 

 flowers from early Summer until late in Autumn ; quite 

 hardy. It is valued very highly for its beautiful buds and 

 handsome flowers. The color is a bright apricot yellow, 

 changing to orange and fawn, sometimes tinted with rose. 

 Very fragrant. 



SOUVENIR DE CLAIRVAUX. _An Extra-g-ood 



Rose. — This )s a remarkably fine Rose, producing 

 flowers similar to Bridesmaid ; the growth is extra strong, 

 fully as vigorous as Maman Cochet, one of the strongest- 

 growing Roses. For general cultivation this is a very fine 

 Rose, and certainly cannot be surpassed. The color is 

 bright pinkish rose, shading lighter or darker according to 

 the season. They are large, full and double, and remain 



on the bush for 

 a long time. 

 It is a con- 

 stant, profuse 

 bloomer, and 

 very fragrant, 

 A Rose that 

 we recommend 

 very highly, 

 as it is excep- 

 tionally good 

 in every way. 



The Roses came in good condition. 

 Thank you for the generosity shown in 

 your dealings, which is in marked con- 

 trast to the treatment I received from 

 another firm. I shall recommend you to 

 any of my friends who contemplate pur- 

 chasing Roses.

Richly Colored. 



This grand Rose is a great favorite wherever known ; the 

 color is a rich golden amber or old gold, elegantly shaded 

 with dark ruddy crimson, resembling the beautiful tints 

 seen in a Summer sunset, hence its name ; the flowers 

 and buds are of extra-large size, very full and finely 

 formed and deliciously perfumed ; it is a strong and vig- 

 orous grower and free bloomer, highly recommended 

 both for open ground and house culture, making it a 

 very desirable Rose, 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for ^i. 

 Two-year- old plants, 30 cts, each. 



SOUVENIR DE FRANCOIS GAULAIN. A Mag- 

 nificent Sort. — This is an ideal Rose having merit of a 

 high order. In our open-ground trials the past year it 

 bloomed from the time it was planted until severe frosts ; 

 its earliness and constancy stamp it as a Rose of great 

 value to the amateur or home grower. In growth it is 

 strong and healthy, with large handsome foliage that 

 remains on the plant till tbefirst frost comes. The color 

 is unusually bright and, indeed, is quite remarkable for a 

 Tea Rose— rich velvety crimson ; the flowers are exceed- 

 ingly fragrant, large, full and very double, possessing a 

 depth that makes their color all the more striking ; quite 

 hardy. We recommend this as one of the really fine 

 Roses. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9fGr^i. Two-year- 

 old plants, 30 cts, each.
