New Roses From Europe 



Ox this and the two following pages are offered the very latest European introductions, and only those are of- 

 fered that are superior to varieties of their class and color already in commerce. What we have here rep- 

 resents the highest degree of perfection yet attained in Roses, and as such they cannot fail to be of inter- 

 est to every lover of new and rare varieties. The descriptions may be relied upon as being absolutely ac- 

 curate. Right here let us say that we have discarded in all our Rose departments such varieties that have not 

 proven themselves to be thoroughly distinct and different from varieties that we already offer. This fact 

 taken into consideration, we may fairly claim to have the most extensive and representative list of Roses to be 

 found on this continent, or -perhaps in any part of the world. All our plants are of the strongest and cleanest 

 character, sure to grow and give you the utmost satisfaction. Take our advice and give the new Roses a trial. 

 Many of them are of marvelous beauty.

Superb New Tea Rose 



Souv. De Pierre Notting 



This beautiful new Tea Rose is an introduction of 

 one of the foremost firms of France, and has not 

 been exceeded in merit by any Kose yet sent out 

 from that country. It is the result ot a cross of 

 Marechal Niel on Maman Cochet. Bloom very large, 

 well filled and opens easily ; beautiful elongated 

 bud. Color apricot yellow tinged with golden ; mixed 

 with orange yellow ; edge of petals shaded beautiful 

 carmine-ro?e ; open flower is full and doub e and 

 of good substance. In form and beauty it exceeds 

 Maman Cochet, and in quantity of bloom it is reached by 

 no other known rose, it has won numerous gold medals 

 and awar 's of merit. For amateur culture this Rose 

 uill take fiont rank with any Rose in cultivation; in 

 fact, up to this time it can be justly regarded as the 

 best all-aroand Rose for general cultivation. It is fully 

 as strong a grower, if not stronger, than the Cochet 

 Roses ; has a wonderful constitution, hardy and alwaj-s 

 in bloom. The flowers are magnificent in every way.
