EXTRA EARLY HOHENZOLLERN ROSE 



A new and wonderfully early strain. With us the plants came into full bloom before other sorts 

 had fairly budded. The very large, well shaped, crimson rose flowers are borne in great profusion 

 and on remarkably long stems. They are of the open Comet type with long, curved petals and cannot 

 fail to please both the critical amateur and the professional florist. We think this must become one 

 of the most popular of the extra early sorts. See page 5. Pkt. 25c. 



EXTRA EARLY HOHENZOLLERN WHITE 



Fully equal in size, similar in habit and but a few days later than Extra Early Hohenzollern Rose, 

 to which its flowers of pure white color make a most pleasing contrast. See page 5. Pkt. 2Sc. 



SEMPLE'S BRANCHING 



This class, originating in America, is one of the most 

 useful sorts in existence. The plants are very hardy, 

 enduring unharmed, conditions which would prove fatal 

 to the more tender European sorts. It comes into bloom 

 late in the season and produces very large flowers, grace- 

 fully poised on long stems. We recommend it as an 

 excellent sort for garden culture and think it is well 

 worthy of trial, particularly by those who have failed 

 with other sorts.

 'variety, with their prices,

JEWEL. 



OR BALL 



SHAPED 



This strain, owing 

 to the perfect shape 

 and doubling of the 

 flowers, will be a fa- 

 vorite with many. The 

 plants produce abun- 

 dantly and the flowers, 

 gracefully poised on 

 stems of good length, 

 are of fine form and 

 perfectly double. f{^^.^
