The Always Popular Cochet Roses 



See Colored Photographic Reproduction on Back Cover 



If you want live of the finest Roses listed in this book, which will produce hundreds of superb flowers throughout 

 the growing season, and producing the kind of flowers one never tires of, order this Cochet set. No matter where you 

 live, they will give you perfect satisfaction. The Cochet Roses are perfectly hardy in every part of the country, even 

 where the winters are most severe, with slight protection. In the more temperate sections and in the South they 

 thrive vigorously and bloom most lavishly all summer long, growing into great, strong, lusty bushes which increase 

 in beauty with the passing years. 



Yellow Maman Cochet. One of the best hardy, ever- 

 blooming yellow Roses. It is ideal for open ground 

 culture — a typical Cochet Rose, with gracefully molded 

 buds, flowers, magnificent when open, on stiff, strong 

 stems. This kind is identical in every way with Pink 

 and White Cochet, except in the color of the flower, 

 which is deep sulphur-yellow. 



Red Maman Cochet (Helen Gould). A Rose that will 

 grow and give satisfaction in almost any soil or situa- 

 tion. It produces flowers in amazing profusion, on 

 long, strong shoots. The flowers are very full, perfectly 

 double; buds long and pointed. Color, warm, rosy 

 crimson. 



Crimson Maman Cochet (Etoile de France). A 



fitting companion to the other Cochet Roses on account 

 of its vigor of growth, stiffness of foliage, freedom of 

 bloom and hardiness. It bears masses of full, deep- 

 formed flowers singly, on long, substantial stems. The 

 color is a new and clear shade of red or velvety crimson, 

 brightening in the center; of exquisite fragrance. 



Strong one-year-old plants of Red, Yellow and Crimson 

 Cochet, 35 cts. each; 6 for $1.75, postpaid; two-year-old plants 

 90 cts. each; $9.00 per dozen, express, $1.00 each by Parcel Post 

 with soil on roots. 



White Maman Cochet. A most magnificent snow- 

 white Rose, with sometimes a faint tinge of pale blush. 

 It has the same freedom of bloom as the Pink Cochet, 

 the same magnificent form of buds and flowers, and the 

 same hardiness — standing at the very head of all Roses 

 as the best white kind for open ground culture. Vigor- 

 ous as an oak and hardy everywhere. 



Pink Maman Cochet. The Queen of all Pink Garden 

 Roses. The buds are large, full and firm, elegantly 

 pointed, showing depth and richness as they expand. 

 The superb flowers open perfectly double, are extra 

 large and of splendid substance. Hardy in evei"y section 

 of the country; clear, rich pink, changing to silvery- 

 rose. 



Price of Pink and White Maman Cochet. Strong; one-year- 

 old plants, 30 cts. each; 4 for $1.00, postpaid; two-year-old 

 plants, 80 cts. each; $8.00 per dozen by express; 90 cts. each by 

 Parcel Post with soil on roots.

Gentlemen: Last year I sent you an order for Roses. They were 

 one-year size and I was afraid I need not expect any blooms the first 

 year. I certainly was agreeably disappointed for I had blooms from 

 July until November. I cut the last blossom the day before Thanks- 

 giving. 



I never saw anything more lovely than Charles Dingee 

 and the Pink Cochet. It was such a pleasure to take care of them 

 for I was not bothered by insect pests or plant diseases. The foliage 

 on all the Roses was wonderful. Yours very truly, 



Augusta R. Hinkelman
