Columbia, — A fine Garden Rose 



^Crimson Beauty 



This splendid new variety has health in 

 bush rose is the result of this parentage — 

 the great (American) "Hoosier Beauty" 

 crossed with "Crimson Champion" and 

 there you have the name — "Crimson 

 Beauty." 



This splendid new variety has health in 

 abundance, grows clean, strong and sturdy, 

 has no weaknesses and 

 blooms in marvelous 

 profusion, bearing its 

 magnificent crimson 

 flowers, which have 

 much of the form of 

 "Gruss an Teplitz," 

 throughout the growing 

 season, so that the bush 

 is literally covered ear- 

 ly and late with its gor- 

 geous crimson flowers. 

 Roses of this type are 

 in the greatest demand 

 because of their health, 

 beauty and perman- 

 ency. 



HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 



Columbia ( Th e Gem of the Garden) 



It is an extremely profuse bloomer — as 

 free a bloomer as the Teas, especially in the 

 cooler seasons, for the plant is a strong 

 grower and is made up chiefly of flower 

 stems. The color is a deep peach pink, 

 deepening into a glowing pink, a perfect 

 color. Handsome, firm buds, are borne on 

 long, stiff stems well above the foliage, and 

 open into very large somewhat flat flowers 

 of good substance, splendid lasting quality, 

 and of delightful fragrance. Heavy, healthy 

 foliage. 



MAD. JULES GROLEZ— The color is a 

 distinct and charming shade of cherry- 

 red. The fine form and attractive shape 

 of the flowers makes them excellent for 

 cutting. 



W. FREELAND KENDRICK (Originally 

 called Bloomfield Endurance). Type, La 

 France. Bud medium size, ovoid, flesh- 

 white; flowers, large, slightly globular, 

 very double, full, very lasting, fragrant, 

 flesh deepening to peach in center. 



CITY OF LITTLE ROCK— Distinct and 

 beautiful in color, a bright rosy_ pink or 

 rose shaded with Hydrangea pink. The 

 buds which open perfectly are long of 

 ideal form. 



ETOILE DE FRANCE— The strong, up- 

 right bushes have beautiful bronze-green 

 foliage, which is not subject to insect at- 

 tacks. The bushes are blooming con- 

 stantly, producing large, massive, deep, 

 full cup-formed flowers of clear red or 

 velvety crimson.
