HYBRID TEAS— Continued. 



^M me. Melanie Soupert 



The flowers are bright golden-yellow suffused with 

 faint tinges of pink, with a handsome and distinct 

 form, making a Rose of great beauty. It is a strong, 

 vigorous grower, very hardy, and forms a handsome 

 bush in the garden. Fine large blooms of perfectly 

 double formation. 



MRS. CHARLES DINGEE — The color is a piu-e gold- 

 en yellow, and the form of the flower is magnificent. 

 This is a Rose among Roses, and its introduction 

 marks an important epoch in the Rose world. 



MRS. A. R. WADDELL — This is one of the most 

 beautiful Hybrid Tea Roses in bud and flower of 

 any grown. The flowers are of the largest size, of 

 perfect form, and possessing wonderful keeping 

 qualities. The coloring is most brilliant in effect, 

 being rosy-scarlet, opening rosy-salmon, with re- 

 verse of petals rosy-scarlet. The bush is a sturdy, 

 erect and vigorous grower, requiring but little care. 



*LADY ASHTOWX — Similar to Mad. Caroline Test- 

 out, but superior in growth, freedom of bloom and 

 color. Splendid grower, soon producing- a large, 

 strong bush, continually loaded with blooms of ex- 

 quisite color and shape. Buds long and pointed, 

 borne singly on long, stiff stems. The illustration 

 was made from a photograph of the Rose as grown 

 here by us, and shows the true formation of the 

 bloom. Color is a soft, solid carmine-pink of a 

 most pleasing shade. A good Rose for any pur- 

 pose.

Wellesley 



VVellesle.v. 



A most magnificent garden Rose of a beautiful 

 shade of pink, vigorous, healthy grower; remark- 

 ably free flowering, with fine keeping qualities; 

 most valuable Rose for gardens, as it is particu- 

 larly adapted for outdoor culture. Blooms pro- 

 fusely on long, stiff stems. 



MRS. HERBERT STEVEXS— A new hardy Tea 

 Rose of extraordinary merit. The bloom is as 

 long, and even more pointed that the Maman 

 Cochet, being faultless in shape and form. Color 

 white, with a distinct fawn and peach shading 

 toward the center. Perfectly hardy in all local- 

 ities, and the extraordinary blooming quality 

 of this Rose, being practically always in bloom. 



*MARY COrXTESS OF ILCHESTER — A strong, 

 vigorous Hybrid Tea. Color warm crimson- 

 carmine, a color almost indescribable. Flowers 

 produced on long, upright stems, of immense 

 size, with large, smooth, circular petals. The 

 foliage is attractive and handsome, a deep 

 green. Very highly scented. 



"NATALIE BOTTXER — New yellow Hybrid Tea. 

 Blooms of bright lemon yellow, borne on long, 

 stiff stems, very vigorous and free blooming. 

 Blooms resemble the famous Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria, and if you will imagine a bloom of this 

 size, only being lemon-yellow, it is bound to 

 become one of the most popular yellow Hybrid 

 Tea Roses in existence. Perfectly hardy.
