MARYLAND. I wish to express my sincere thanks for the lovely Columbia Rose 

 plants which were received the last of June. The Rose plants are doing fine in 

 spite of the very hot weather. Mrs. Luther Brashears, Maryland. 



HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 



Mrs. Aaron Ward 



Most exquisite buds of golden buff 

 or fawn, opening to full, double, 

 well formed flowers, of pinkish fawn. 

 The plant does not grow large, but 

 is dwarf and spreading, covered 

 with heavy foliage that is immune 

 from disease and insect pests. This 

 is an excellent rose for the garden, 

 for it requires little attention, blooms 

 profusely, and is most useful for 

 cutting and for the buttonhole. 

 PERLE VON GODESBERG — 

 This magnificent Rose was orig- 

 inally sent out as a Yellow Kais- 

 erin Augusta Victoria, it having 

 all the beauty of form and sub- 

 stance of that great garden Rose. 

 The color is a rich canary-yellow 

 with shadings of saffron. 

 LAURENT CARLE— A beautiful 

 Rose, with extra large, handsome- 

 ly formed rich velvety carmine 

 buds and flowers. It is a phenomenally 

 strong and robust grower, and continually 

 in bloom throughout the season. A splen- 

 dent rose and quite fragrant. 

 MRS. F. R. PIERSON— Color hard to de- 

 scribe, cardinal-red, or as described by 

 New York experts, "a crimson Rose 

 flooded with sunshine". The buds are 

 long slender and pointed, of ideal shape 

 and form, the flowers are deep, long pet- 

 aled and very fragrant, born on long 

 strong stems. 

 COMTESSE DE CASSAGNE —Flowers 

 of varying color; rich coppery-pink shad- 

 ed clear rose; sometimes comes pure yel- 

 low; very large, form very fine. Many 

 petals of good substance and deliciously 

 fragrant. The plant is strong, vigorous, 

 free flowering and quite healthy.

Beautiful Silver Columbia 



The Dainty Buds of Mrs. Aaron Ward 



^Silver Columbia 



This rose is a sport of the famous Col- 

 umbia. The color is a clear shade of deep 

 silver pink, lighter than that of its parent. 

 The color deepens towards the center. The 

 flowers are larger than Columbia, inclined 

 to be flat, but magnificently formed on long, 

 strong stems, which make it an excellent 

 rose for cutting. _ It has all the growing 

 characteristics of its parent, but is a more 

 profuse and a more constant bloomer — 

 blooming from one season's end to the 

 other. The foliage is heavy, of a dark 

 green, remarkably free from disease. Very 

 hardy, and extremely easy to grow — ad- 

 mirably adapted for the amateur's garden, 

 requiring little attention, and producing a 

 wealth of beauty. 



MME. BUTTERFLY— All the color 

 tones of Ophelia are intensified, making 

 it a harmonony of bright pink, apricot 

 and gold. The tight buds are a lovely 

 shade of Indian oak, yellow at the base; 

 the opening flowers are perfect in form 

 and texture, clear and brilliant in color 

 and of delicious fragrance. 



GENERAL MacARTHUR— Of strong, 



vigorous, healthy growth, branching 

 freely, it produces its wonderful blooms 

 profusely from May until October, of 

 full scarlet crimson.
