Richmond 



This is one of the most valuable introductions of 

 recent years and reflects great credit on the dili- 

 gent work of American Hybridizers. It is as free 

 blooming as Bridesmaid or Golden Gate, and 

 its scarlet-crimson flowers are borne on fine long 

 stems, which make it specially valuable for cut- 

 ting purposes. It is a strong competitor of 

 Liberty and Meteor for forcing. We recom- 

 mend it as a sterling novelty of unusuai merit. 

 20c. each; 3 for 50c. | two-year-old plants, 40c. 

 each.

 flowers. Color a distinct and charming shade of 

 satiny pink. 15c. each 4 for 50c. | two-year-old

Kaiserin Augusta Victoria 



One of the most beautiful of all Roses for open 

 ground culture; it is a strong, healthy grower and 

 as hardy as any of the Hybrid Perpetual Roses, 

 while it blooms with unbroken continuity from 

 early Spring until lute frosts; in fact it is as free 

 blooming as any Tea Rose. It is celebrated the 

 world over for its elegant, large, pointed buds, 

 large full and double flowers. Color delicate 

 creamy white. Dellciously fragrant. As a cut 

 flower" it stands without a peer. It is the parent 

 of our celebrated new hardy climbing Rose, Mrs. 

 Robert Peary illustrated on page 35. 15c. each: 

 4 for 50c.; two-year-old plants, 35c. each. 



Magnafrano 



The result of Magna Cbarta crossed with 

 Safrano. A strong, upright grower, constant

 deep and double, dellciously Tea scented. The 

 color is bright, deep, shining rose, rich and hand- 

 some. 15c. each; 4 for 50c.; two-year-old plants,

Etoile De France

 Roses. Its parentage, a cross between Mad. 

 Abel Cbatenay and Fisber Holmes, insures 

 g'*eat vigor of growth, hardiness everywhere and 

 freedom of bloom. It makes a fine upright bush, 

 has but few thorns and beautiful, deep bronzy 

 green foliage. It is as free blooming as any Tea 

 or Pol.vantha, Rose, bearing its massive, large, 

 full, cup-formed flowers singly on long, stiff stems;

President Roosevelt 



(Introdaced and controlled by The Dingee & Conard Co.) 



This spl,endid new variety is a rival of La 

 France, Dncbess of Albany and similar pink 

 kinds, which it excels in freedom of bloom in the 

 open ground. It is thoroughly distinct and is 

 worthy of a high place among this charming class. 

 It is the issue of numerous hybridizations from 

 various seedlings and is the result of years of 

 labor. It has a splendid constitution, rather dwarf 

 habit of growth, and produces a great abundance 

 of lovely buds and flowers all through the season. 

 The flowers are finely formed, with petals of won- 

 derful substance, full and double color bright, 

 lively pink, which remains true to the last; fra- 

 grance similar to cherry blossoms. For sale only

 40c. each.
