F. W. BOLGIANO & CO., INC. 



Roses — Continued 



rapid growth and throws up a profusion of canes 

 from the roots and is always blooming. Price, 

 1-year mailing size, 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 

 35 cts. 



White KiUarney. This variety possesses all 

 the good points of, and is identical in every way 

 with, its parent, except in color, which is of a clear 

 white. Its parent, KiUarney, though introduced 

 only ten years ago, has for several years been one 

 of the most popular Roses. White KiUarney has 

 great freedom of bloom, beautiful form, and per- 

 fect hardiness, which, together with its purity of 

 color, assures for it the same popularity. In nam- 

 ing a select list of leaders for general planting, I 

 should certainly include White KiUarney, because 

 I know its merits so well. Price, strong mailing 

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



Frau Karl Druschki. White. CaUed by 

 some, "White American Beauty." Strictly 

 speaking, this Rose does not belong in the Hybrid 

 Tea class, as it is a pure Hyrid Perpetual. It 

 is, however, such a constant and persistent 

 bloomer that it will pass for a Hybrid Tea. The 

 bud is long and pointed, of the finest form, often 

 delicately marbled with carmine on the outer 

 petals, opening to an enormous flower absolutely 

 pure snow-white, unquestionably the whitest 

 Rose known. The growth is exceedingly .strong, 

 vigorous and healthy. Price, mailing size, from 

 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 40 

 cts.; extra-heavy 3-year plants, 60 cts.; 4-year 

 immense plants, 85 cts. 



White La France, or Augustine Guinois- 

 seau. — Recommended to all, whether for outdoor 

 culture or for pots in the house in winter. If you 

 were to ask for six of the very finest Roses, I should 

 be sure to include it in the six. It is identical with 

 La France, except in color. It is pearly white, 

 sometimes tinted with fawn. Price, mailing size 

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



Dean Hole. Pink. An intense salmon- 

 pink, with bud of extraordinary length opening 

 into a mammoth bloom of splendid substance. 

 An English gold-medal Rose that ranks with 

 the best. Price, 10 cts.; 2-year plants 25 cts. 



Wm. Shean. Pink. A fine grower; large, 

 pointed flowers of Killarney-pink; full, free and 

 perpetual; one of the very largest of Roses. 

 Price, 15 cts.; 3-inch pots, 25 cts.; 2-year plants, 

 40 cts. 



Duchess of Wellington. Yellow. The color 

 is at first an intense saffron yellow, stained with 

 crimson, which, as the flowers develop, changes to 

 a deep coppery yellow. Old gold would better 

 describe it; it is a particular shade of color not seen 

 in other roses, one that is quite unique and will 

 attract instant attention in any collection. When 

 a number are massed together there is no rose that 

 can equal it in decorative effect. The blooms are 

 semi-double, resembling KiUarney in shape, but 

 the individual petals are larger and the rose is of 

 the very largest size and delightfully fragrant. 

 The plant is sturdy, stocky and a very strong 

 grower. It is one of the roses that you cannot do 

 without. Price, 1-year mailing size, 15 cts.; 

 strong 2-year plants, 40 cts.; e.xtra 3-year plants, 

 60 cts.

La France. Pink. Accounts come from all 

 quarters every year describing the great pro- 

 fusion of its bloom from June until frost, and 

 extolling its fragrance and immense size. It is 

 of superb form, and double as a Rose can be. 

 It is famed for its delicate coloring — silvery 

 rose shaded with pink. It has a satin sheen over 

 aU its petals. Entirely hardy. Price, mailing 

 size. 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 30 cts.

 of the most beautiful of all Roses for open-

 Roses. Blooms steadily from early spring until 

 severe frost; in fact, it is as free-blooming as 

 any Tea Rose. Elegant, large pointed buds 

 and large, full-double flowers; color delicate 

 craamy white; deliciously fragrant. 



Mme. Caroline Testout. Pink. Planted 

 in the nursery rows with aU the other good 

 Roses, you can pick it out across a ten-acre 

 field on account of its immense size and brilliant 

 color. Probably no Rose stands higher in public 

 estimation today than La France, but Mme. 

 Caroline Testout is decidedly deeper and more 

 brilliant in color and a larger flower, and is as 

 good in other ways. Petals large, exquisitely 

 edged and bordered with clear silver rose.

Tea Roses 



This class of Roses is distinguished by a 

 dehcate tea fragrance and an absolutely ever- 

 blooming habit. Most varieties are not so 

 hardy as the Hybrid Tea class, but they may 

 be carried through the winter even in the 

 Northern States with careful protection, bank- 

 ing up with soil probably being the most satis- 

 factory method. The Cochet varieties are nearly 

 or quite as hardy as the Hybrids. Price of all 

 Tea Roses, except where noted: 1-year mailing 

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



Souv. de Pierre Notting. YeUow. This 

 beautiful Tea Rose is an introduction of one of 

 the foremost firms of France, and has not been 

 exceeded in merit by any Rose yet sent out 

 from that country. Blooms very large, well 

 filled and open easily; beautiful, elongated bud. 

 Color apricot-yellow tinged witli golden, mixed 

 with orange-yellow, edge of petals shaded 

 beautiful carmine-rose; open flower is full and 

 double and of good substance; extremely free 

 flowering. Mailing plants, 10 cts.; 2-year old 

 plants, 25c. 



White Maman Cochet, or Priscilla. A 

 charming white Tea Rose. A child of that 

 grandest of bedding or outdoor Roses, Maman 

 Cochet; identical with that variety except in 

 color. Hardy in Northern Ohio, with slight 

 protection in winter. The flowers are enormous, 

 remarkably round and full; white and delight- 

 fully tea-scented. Price, 2-year plants, 30 cts. 



Pink Maman Cochet. The queen of all 

 pink garden Roses. Clear rich pink, changing 

 to silvery rose. The buds are beautiful, large, 

 fuU and firm and elegantly pointed; as they 

 expand they show great depth and richness, 

 sometimes measuring 2H inches from base to 

 tip. Small pot-plants wiU, in the open ground, 

 quickly make large, strong bushes, and produce
