Hardy Hybrid Tea Roses 



Some SrTT-.3 are sending out rr.ai'.insr size roses 

 that are hardly more than rooted cuttings; we 

 do not handle that kind; our plants are grown 

 in 3-inch pots, are strong and vigorous and ready 

 to bloom at once. These are sent to you post 

 paid at the price. It will be better, however, 

 for you to have them come by express, as all 

 the soil can then be left on the roots, which is 

 a great advantage. 



Our two-year roses were all in bloom last 

 snnuDer, and are wintered outdoors where 

 they have an entire rest: these are not like 

 the exhausted hot-house plants sold by some; 

 they go by express at your expense at the price 

 given 



KilUmey. Pink. A phenomenal Hybrid 

 Tea Rose, especially as to the coloring, which is 

 an exquisite shade of deep shell-pink. The flow- 

 ers are enormous, the petals frequently measiiring 

 2H inches deep. Wonderfully strong, throwing 

 up heavy shoots crowned with long, heavy buds. 

 Free-flowering and perfectly hardy. Price, strong 

 1-year plants, by mail. IS cts.; heavy 2-year 



yellow roses. For years 1 have been hoping for 

 a perfect yellow Rose. Never before have I seen 

 any to equal this. The color is orange-copper. 

 golden orange and golden yellow, all intense 

 shades and extremely brilliant. The bloom, is full 

 and double, and holds its color until the petals are 

 ready to drop; the bud is long and pointed. It is 

 pre-errjnently a long stemmed Rose. Price, 

 1-year plants; from 3-inch pots, 25 cts.; strong 

 2-year plants. 60 cts. 



American Beaoty. Crimson. Largest, 

 sweetest and best of all hardy Roses. It is a 

 genuine, hardy, everblooming Rose. For im- 

 mensty of size, rich color, exquisite form and 

 delicknu fragrance, it stands without an equal. 

 It is a qtiick and bushy grower and a continuous 



bloomer, makes magnificent buds and large. 

 deep, double flowers, and is valuable both for 

 house and garden culture. Color a rich, rosy 

 crimson, shaded and veined in the most charm- 

 ing fashion: very fragrant. Price, IS cts.; 

 larger size, 25 cts.; 2-year plants. 35 cts. 



Jonkheer J. L. .Mock.— Pink. This is 

 a giant Rose from Holland, and grows to great 

 size, usually outstripping all the varieties around 

 it. The flowers are big and round, of the general 

 type of La France, and a bright pink faced 

 with carmine. They are borne freely on long 

 stems and are valuable as cut-flowers, the 

 firm, heavy texture of the petals making them 

 keep well. Also excellent for bedding. It is 

 almo<!t thomless. Price, 1-year mailing size, 

 from 3-inch pots, 25 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 

 50 cts.; extra 3-year plants. 75 cts.

 everblooming Rose. Color deep ivory-white, 

 overlaid with clear, bright pink. As hardy as 

 Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, and a vigorous and 

 rampant grower. I have a fine stock, and offer 

 it at a reasonable price. Guaranteed to bloom 

 this year. Price. 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; heavy

My Maryland. Pink. One of the finest of 

 peach-pink Roses. The flowers are large and 

 double, of perfect form, with a bright but tender 

 peach-pink tint which becomes lighter and even 

 more attractive as the flower expands. The 

 plant makes a robust growth with many canes, 

 and every shoot bears one or many of the perfect 

 blooms which come throughout a long season. 

 Grown originally for cut-flowers, it has proved 

 perfectly hardy out-of-doors. Price, strong 

 1-year plants, 15 cts.; 2-year plants, 35 cts. 



General McArthur. Red. One of the 

 brightest, vivid crimson-scarlet Roses in existence. 

 Of free-branching habit of growth, very vigorous 

 and healthy. Every shoot produces a large, 

 double, well-formed flower, which, combined 

 with its fragrance and hardiness, makes this 

 essentially one of the greatest red Roses for 

 outdoor planting. The fragrance cannot be 

 excelled by any Rose. Price. 1-year mailing 

 size. 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants. 35 cts. 



Bed La France, or Duchess of Albany. 

 Carmine. A fine Rose of unusual merit, one 

 that will survive, with slight protection, the 



winters of any locality. It is identical in 

 every respect with La France, except in 

 color, which is a pretty red when in bud 

 form, but when open it changes to a car- 

 mine. A fine bedder. Price, mailing size, 

 IS cts.; strong 2-year plants, 30 cts. 



Richmond. Red. This is among the 

 most brilliant of scarlet-crimson Roses, 

 and will always be included in the first 

 half dozen most desirable red Roses. 

 The bloom is moderately full, of graceful 

 habit and borne on long, stiff stems. 

 This variety is used in immense numbers 

 as a cut-flower, and is of equal value 

 in the garden. Price, 1-year mailing size, 

 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 35 cts. 



Cardinal. Red. Can be recommended 

 as better than Liberty, and, in the open 

 ground, equal to Meteor. It is a strong, 

 robust grower, with large and massive 

 flowers, deliciously fragrant, full and 

 double to the center. Of easy culture 

 and extremely free flowering. Price, mail- 

 ing size, IS cts.; strong, 2-year plants, 

 40 cts. 



Irish Fircflamc. The dainty, lovely 

 single rose that is used so beautifully in 

 corsages and for table arrangement; the

 of marvelous color, combining all sorts of 

 yellow, bronze and red shades. Price,

 of a splendid deep yellow, edged and feath- 

 ered peach-pink; sometimes variable in 

 color with less yellow. Price, 1-year mail- 

 ing size, IS cts.; strong 2-year plants,

a good bud; open flower, semi-double; color, 



dark carmine, flushed crimson.

 blooming; foliage leathery, reddish green, glossy 

 and large. For the Middle and Southern States 

 Winnie Davis is second to none. Price, mailing 

 size, 10 cts.; 2-year olants, 25 cts. 



Clara Watson. Pink. The flowers are 

 very graceful and are produced in remark- 

 able profusion. The buds are beautiful, and 

 are supported on long stems, making it desir- 

 able for cutting. The color is salmon pink, 

 difficult to describe. Price, fine, mailing-size 

 plants, 10 cts.; strong 2-year plants. 25 cts.; 

 heavy 3-year plants on own roots, SO cts.

 as a Sweetbriar Rose. Very distinct and beauti- 

 ful. Price, mailing size, 10 cts.; 2-year plants, 

 25 cts. 



Radiance. Pink. John Cook of Baltimore 

 has produced more good Roses than any other 

 man in this country, but he never has given us 

 a better Rose than Radiance. It is a continuous 

 bloomer and an extremely vigorous grower, 

 surpassing Wm. R. Smith in that respect. The 

 blooms are very large; clear, silvery pink, some- 

 what resembling the grand new Rose, Jonkheer 

 J. L. Mock, but lighter in color. This is a variety 

 of the greatest importance. Price, mailing sije, 

 20 cts.; 2-year plants. SO cts. 



Rhea Reid. Crimson. A magnificent garden 

 Rose. "As large as American Beauty, as double 

 as La France, and as red as Richmond," is the 

 way this beautiful Hybrid Tea Bush Rose has 

 been described. The color is vivid scarlet- 

 crimson, and the flowers are marvels of beauty; 

 large, bold and of splendid substance. It has 

 a strong, disease resisting constitution, makes a
