YELLOW MAMA AT COCHET. 



Our Grand New Rose— Yellow Maman Cochet, 



1^^ YELLOW MAMAM COCHET. 



HEW aOSE-WBITE GOLDEN SHTE. 



Now Offered for the first time by 

 The Dingee 3c Conard Co. 



ONE of the most famous Roses in cultivation is Golden Gate. We 

 introduced this grand variety in 1891. Since that time it has 

 become famous wherever Roses are grown. Acres of glass are 

 devoted to forcing this variety alone for its magnificent flowers, which, 

 when fully developed are as large as American Beauty. No Rose that 

 we have ever seen will surpass it in delicate, dainty color effects and 

 form; in fact it is a Rose of indescribable beauty. For many years it 

 has been the favorite Rose at the White House, from which fact it is 

 sometimes called the " White House Rose." This grand new variety, 

 which we offer this year for the first time, is a sport or offspring of 

 Golden Gate, with which it is identical, except in color. The flowers are 

 ivory-white, with petals of leathery-like light substance. A dozen of 

 them grouped together affords a dazzling sight. Borne on strong, 

 stiff stems, 2 to 3 feet in length, this is easily the most massive white 

 Rose in cultivation. Long, elegantly pointed buds. We have seen 

 a single flower of this great variety, without the stem, weighing three- 

 quarters of a pound. Strong, vigorous grower. At the great Flower 

 Show held last Fall at Kansas City, this variety won a gold medal and 

 was awarded a medal at the Pan-American Exposition, besides numer- 

 ous other medals and certificates of merit. It will become as famous 

 and will prove as valuable as our great new Rose, Helen Gould.

EVERYTHING considered, this is one of our 

 most noteworthy introductions. Up to this 

 _ i time the best yellow Roses are Perle des 

 Jardins, Coquette de Lyon, Etoile de Lyon, 

 Sunset and Safrano,hut notwithstanding the merit 

 of these grand varieties this superb new-comer 

 will supersede them for open ground culture. It 

 is the typical Cochet Rose — with its gracefully 

 molded buds, magnificent open flowers, stiff 

 strong stems, heavy foliage, and with the vigor 

 of growth and blooming capacity that has made 

 the Cochet Roses the most reliable of their class 

 and color. There is a great need for this vari- 

 ety, and we are proud to have the honor of 

 introducing it, as it will become equally as fa- 

 mous as Pink and White Maman Cochet. It is 

 identical in every way with them, except 

 in color of flower, which is deep sulphur yellow. 

 It has stood a temperature in the open groimd 

 of 10 degrees below zero, without protection. It 

 is among the first to bloom in the Spring and re- 

 mains in bloom up vmtil severe frosts. We re- 

 commend our customers to plant liberally of 

 this Ros3 as the best hardy, ever-blooming, yellow 

 variety in existence We have introduced some 

 grand Roses, but none better than this. Bear in 

 mind that it cannot be had elsewhere, as the entire 

 stock is in our possession.
