Cincinnati, Ohio, 

 Gentlemen : September 19, 1916. 



This Spring I ordered ten of your 

 Roses, and I must say they are the 

 goods, all true to name and bloom- 

 ing continuously. My friends and 

 Neighbors never cease in admiring 

 them. FRED LAKAMP.

This new Hybrid Tea Rose has the brightest future, in 

 our estimation, of any Rose introduced for the last 

 quarter century. The color is one so difficult to describe 

 that any description can only be a partial one, and gives 

 but a faint idea of the superb beauty and richness of the 

 shades. Salmon-flesh, shaded with rose. Buds of un- 

 usual attractiveness, opening full and double. Habit 

 excellent, growth strong, produces flowers on long stems, 

 standing well up above the foliage, and in great pro- 

 fusion all Summer. Hardy in almost all localities. 

 Grand for forcing or outdoors. Price, strong, first-size 

 plants, 25 cts. each, postpaid; two-year-old plants, 50 

 cts. each, by express. 



Killarney Brilliant. An offspring of Pink Killarney, 

 but several shades darker, the color being a beautiful 

 shade of brilliant red. Habit of growth same as Kil- 

 larney. Just as free bloomer and hardy. Price, first- 

 size or one-year-old plants, 30 cts. each; four for $1.00, 

 postpaid; two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each, by express. 



This class of Roses has the meritorious advantage of blooming continu- 

 ously the first year like the r 3a Roses, while their large, finely formed 

 flowers and delicious fragrance, diversity of color and constitution to 

 stand Winters with slight protection, make them best for general planting 

 and like the Tea Roses. 



The Best Roses for Winter Blooming 



There are none better for Winter blooming. They are sure to give the 

 utmost satisfaction. The plants have been specially prepared for the 

 purpose, and are strong, stocky and thrifty. When received, plant in 

 four-inch pots or boxes, water freely and give as much light and sunshine

A Magnificent New Crimson Garden Rose. 



"As large as American Beauty, as double as La 

 France, and as red as Richmond," is the enthusiastic 

 way the originator describes this beautiful new Hy- 

 brid Tea Bush Rose. The color is vivid scarlet-crim- 

 son, and the flowers are marvels of beauty, large, 

 bold, and of splendid substance. It has a strong, 

 disease-resisting constitution, makes a rapid growth 

 and throws up a profusion of canes from the roots, 

 and is always blooming. As an all-around garden 

 Bush Rose it has no superiority. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria- The greatest hardy 

 white Hybrid Tea Rose in existence. A strong, 

 sturdy grower ; free-flowering ; it has become the 

 most popular of all white Roses for general 

 planting. Continuously from early Spring 

 until late Fall, with pointed buds, the large, 

 double flowers are glorious in their perfec- 

 tion ; borne on long, stiff stems ; 

 delicate pure white, deliciously fra- 

 grant. Unexcelled for cutting ; ab- 

 solutely hardy. 

 Helena Cambier. The colors range 



from salmon-rose to coppery-rose. 

 Camoeng. A bright, handsome Rose 

 of a dainty shade of China rose suf- 

 fused with pale yellow. The bush 

 is hardy, free-flowering and vigor- 

 ous. 

 Dean Hole. One of the handsomest of the Hybrid Teas, growing 

 into a stout, vigorous, hardy bush, bearing all Summer great num- 

 bers of gorgeous silvery-carmine Roses, with salmon shadings. 

 The coloring is distinct and unique, and the Rose is a handsome 

 tribute to him whose name it bears. 



Francis Scott Key. A magnificent Hybrid Tea Rose 

 originated by the great Rosarian, John Cook, of Bal- 

 timore, Maryland, and named in honor of the writer 

 of the ''Star Spangled Banner." Color glowing scar- 

 let with darker shadings. Buds long and pointed, 

 opening full and double, produced on long upright 

 stems. Strong, healthy grower. Hardy everywhere. 

 Free blooming. Excellent cut-flower variety. Price, 

 first size or one-year-old plants, 30 cts. each, post- 

 paid; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each, by express. 

 Pink La France. Lovely shade of silvery-pink, tinged 

 with crimson : fragrance delicious ; flowers very full 

 and wonderfully beautiful. 

 White La France (Augustine Guinoisseau). A pure 



white member of the La F ranee family. 

 General McArthur. To those who prefer a Rose with 

 full color, we can recommend none more highly than 

 this gorgeous crimson-scarlet Hybrid Tea. It is hardy 

 in practically all localities, and as an outdoor Rose it 

 has no superior. Of strong, vigorous, healthy growth, 

 branching freely, it produces its wonderful blooms 

 profusely from May until October. Every shoot car- 

 ries a large, double, well-formed flower of exquisite 

 fragrance, and splendid lasting quality. 

 Col. R. S. Williamson. Large, fragrant flowers of an 

 exquisite shade of soft, rich carmine; blooms large 

 and well formed, high pointed center on long stitT 

 stems. Petals crinkled, on the order of a Zinnia. 

 Tall grower. Hardy in all localities, and strong ro- 

 bust grower, soon producing a handsome bush. 

 Blooms all summer.
