Bon Silene and Etoile de Lyon. 



Etoile de Lyon 



It is of vigorous, sturdy growth, and seems able to 

 resist heat and cold equally well. It blooms freely, 

 producing beautifully formed flowers of a rich, gold- 

 en yellow. A great favorite everywhere. 



MAD. HOSTE — The color of this variety is soft, light 

 canary-yellow, deepening in the center to pure 

 golden-yellow, beautifully flushed with pale amber. 

 Edge and reverse of petals creamy white. 



DEVONIENSIS (The Charming Ma^noUa Rose) — 



This is an old favorite among Rose lovers. Planted 

 outdoors, it produces an abundance of large, very 

 full and double flowers all through the season. 

 The color is creamy white, with rosy centers, and 

 very fragrant. This is one of the Roses that should 

 be seen in every garden; as the bush grows to 

 largre size it is continually in bloom.

 TEA ROSES — Continued. 



Bon Silene 



A Grand Old Rose. 



Xo nf \v variety has 

 superseded this Rose 

 since its introduction 

 in 1839. The color is 

 deep rose, changing 

 to pale light rose. 

 This variety cannot be 

 surpassed for bou- 

 quets and decorative 

 purposes. In the open 

 ground it grows to perfection, 

 producing large crops of 

 beautiful flowers from early 

 spring until late autumn. One 

 of the favorites of the old-time gardens. 



*ALIXE SISIiEY — One of the best. Rich 

 shade of violet-red, brightened with crim- 

 son-maroon; flowers large, full and double; 

 fragrance very sweet. A splendid, free- 

 flowering, dark-colored Tea which always 

 gives pleasing results. 



\NDREW SCHWARTZ (Everblooniingr Jack) — The 



flowers are large and of excellent substance. Color 

 brilliant scarlet, changing to rich crimson. It is a strong, 

 sturdy grower, and known as the True Tea Jacqueminot 

 because of its resemblance to that famous variety. 



FRANCES E. WITjLARD — It is of strong, vigorous growth, 

 everblooming, producing snow-white buds; large flowers of 

 perfect form; very fragrant. The bush is of splendid 

 shape; and in continuous bloom all summer. 



*EXFANT DE LYOX (The Sweet Anise Rose) — In color the 

 flowers are a beautiful creamy rose, delicately shaded with 

 coppery yellow, and very fragrant. The flowers are much 

 admired for their color and the distinct Anise fragrance. 



CATHERINE MERMET — One of the best varieties of Tea 

 Roses. A very free bloomer, producing clear, shining pink 

 flowers, the center being shaded with fawn and amber. 

 Is a good Rose for open ground culture and forcing under 

 glass. 



ENCHANTRESS — A free bloomer, bearing immense globular 

 flowers in large clusters; a vigorous grower. Color creamy 

 white, tinged with buff in center. Splendid in pots for late 

 autumn and winter blooming, as well as for planting in 

 the open ground during the summer. 



MADA^rE JOSEPH SCHWARTZ — Flowers pure 

 white, tinged and shaded with pale yellow and rosy 

 blush; very full and sweet.

 etery planting, being full and double, and in color 

 pure white. Of great vigor and hardiness.

 riety is noted for its pure golden yellow flowers, 

 which are large, full and double. 



Cleveland, Ohio, May 30, 1916. 

 Gentlemen : — 



I received my Roses and am very much pleased with them. 

 They certainly are fine plants. I planted them the same even- 

 ing they arrived, and you would not believe to see them now. 

 only after two days, that they had been shipped from another 

 State, as some of them are ready to bloom. Accept ray thanks 

 for the extra Rose. It is verv prettv. 



Respectfully, LOUISE ROSEMANN.
