OF FAMOUS NEW ROSES, 



Extraordinary /Ne^v Varieties— Very "Rare and Difficult to Secure 



CHE varieties offered on this page are the rarest and most beautiful new Roses in existence. We 

 have brought them from all quarters of the globe, in quantities large enough to enable us to offer 

 them at a price within the reach of all. Every lover of new and rare Roses will be delighted with 

 the extraordinary beauty of these varieties. 



We offer the entire collection of nine varieties, strong one-year-old plants, prepaid for $i.6o. (If 

 bought separately the cost is $2.35.) Complete set of two-year-old plants, on own roots, by express, at 

 purchaser's expense, $3.75. (If bought separately the cost is $4.60.) 



ADMIRAL SCHLEY.— Named in honor of the hero of Santi- 

 ago, and in every way worthy of that illustrious distinction. 

 Magnificent Hybrid Tea Rose, with flowers as finely formed 

 as Meteor or Liberty. Deliciously fragrant, and in color 

 a beautiful deep crimson. A strong grower, free bloomer, 

 and a variety that should be grown in the home of every 

 American citizen. We predict for it that it will become 

 one of the most famous of Roses. The stock is very rare. 

 40 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, in limited supply, $1 each. 



SUNRISE. — The most distinct, and one of the most beautiful 

 Tea Roses ever seen. An offspring of that great variety, 

 Perle des Jardins. Has created a sensation wherever 

 exhibited, and won numerous gold medals and awards of 

 honor. It is identical in form of flower, and almost so in 

 manner of growth with Perle des Jardins, but is abso- 

 lutely new in color. In the bud it shows the high brilliant 

 color seen only in the "Austrian Copper," scarlet and 

 yellow. As the bud opens the color deepens, the scarlet 

 turning dark red ; the yellow to orange and copper, inside • 

 of the petal golden yellow. The open Rose is large, per- 

 fectly double, and of magnificent form. The foliage is 

 grand, being the darkest and most beautiful found among 

 Roses. Hardy with protection. Until one sees the 

 flower it is difficult to conceive the striking contrast of 

 the high, brilliant colors, scarlet and golden yellow, giving 

 the flower the appearance of a flower within a flower. Be 

 sure to include this variety in your order. 20 cts. each; 

 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1 ; two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each. 



MAID OF HONOR.— A beautiful, ever-blooming Tea Rose. 

 An offspring of Catharine Mermet, but resembling Brides- 

 maid in form of flower, with the exception of color, which 

 is a rich, glowing pink, far deeper than Bridesmaid or 

 Catherine Mermet. Grand, long, stiff stems. Strong 

 grower, and for beauty of flower cannot be surpassed by 

 any Rose in our entire collection. 20 cts. each; 3 for 

 50 cts. ; two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each. 



LIBERTY. — As we predicted in our catalogue for 1901, this 

 grand Hybrid Tea Rose has become one of the most sen- 

 sational varieties ever introduced. It has created a furore 

 from ocean to ocean, and wherever exhibited has won 

 first honors. Flowers superbly made, deep, full and 

 double. Color crimson-scarlet. Grandly fragrant. The 

 highest-priced Rose ever known, the original plants having 

 cost, it is stated, $7,500. 25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts.; 

 5 for $1; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each. 



WINNIE DAVIS.— Named in honor of the daughter of the 

 Confederacy. A cross between Kaiserin Augzista Vic- 

 toria and Belle Siebrecht. Color apricot pink, shading 

 to flesh-tint at base of petals. Immense, long, heavy buds, 

 splendidly formed. Flowers unusually large. A grand 

 Hybrid Tea Rose that must please everyone who plants it 

 because of its unusual merit. Hardy with protection. 

 35 cts. each; 3 for SI ; two-year-old plants, 60 cts. each. 



KILLARNEY.— A beautifvil new Hybrid Tea Rose sent out 

 by the noted Rosarians, Alexander Dickson & Sons. In 

 many respects this Rose is phenomenal, especially for the 

 exquisite shade of deep shell pink seen in its flower, the 

 size of which is nothing short of enormous. Petals fre- 

 quently measure 2}i inches deep. In habit of growth it 

 is wonderfully strong, throwing up enormous heavy shoots, 

 which are crowned with long, heavy buds. If this variety 

 had a few more petals it would become the greatest pink 

 Rose for forcing purposes in existence. As it is, for out- 

 door cultivation, it is away ahead of anything of its color 

 and type. We recommend our friends to plant freely of 

 this variety. _ It blooms continuously, is hardy with pro- 

 tection, and is one of the great new Roses. 30 cts. each; 

 4 for $1 ; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each. 



RUBIN. — This is a really great Rose. Of the Crimson 

 Rambler type, and in many respects an improvement upon 

 that grand variety. It is far stronger in growth, has better 

 foliage, is free from mildew, while the flowers, borne in 

 large, loose graceful clusters, are larger and more double 

 than Crimson Rambler, and the color is brighter — shining 

 crimson-scarlet. You will make no mistake in buying 

 this variety. It is perfectly hardy, and in our estimation 

 a superb Rose in every way. Was awarded a certificate 

 of merit by the German National Rose Society, one of the 

 highest honors that can be given a Rose. 25 cts. each; 

 two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each. 



MAD. BADEN. — After careful trial this beautiful new Tea 

 Rose has demonstrated that it is the best of its type now 

 in cultivation. Better than Madam Cusin or Mrs. Pier- 

 pont Morgan. Has attained first honors as a forcing Rose, 

 the bud and open flower not being surpassed in form by 

 any Rose offered in this book. Flowers large and full; 

 color bright carmine, centre rose, shaded with delicate 

 violet. Buds very long and beautifully formed. Splendid 

 grower, and a free bloomer. A Rose that we recommend 

 in the highest terms. 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; two- 

 year-old plants, 35 cts. each. 



VIRGINIA R. COXE.— Introduced by The Dingee & Canard 

 Company. This grand Hybrid Tea Rose is now so well 

 known that a description is almost unnecessary. It is con- 

 ceded without question to be the sweetest and most vivid 

 crimson Rose in the world. For intense and dazzling 

 color there is no other Rose to compare with it. The 

 flowers are large, full and moderately double, handsomely 

 made, and produced on long, stiff stems. The color is 

 fiery crimson, shaded with a dark velvety sheen, producing 

 a gorgeous effect. Fragrance simply delicious. Grows 

 to a height of 4 to 5 feet. Absolutely hardy. Blooms 

 all the time. It has been called the Red Hermosa and 

 many other names. In recommending it to our friends 

 we will say that it is the best crimson Rose for outdoor 

 cultivation in existence. 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 

 7 for SI ; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each; S4 per dozen.
