An Oddly Colored Rose 

 This variety is one of the most unique colored Roses 

 In existence. It resembles Mad. Margottin somewhat, 

 particularly as to the ruddy coloring, which is a trifle 

 deeper in this variety. It is indeed a beautiful Rose, 

 more delicately shaded than Mad. Margottin, and a 

 most desirable variety. The color is citron yellow, 

 with bright red centre, delicately blended. 



MAD. FRANCISCA KRUGER

 for open-ground culture. It would be hard to name a 

 better or more satisfactory Rose. It is especially 

 adapted to bedding or massing. Holds its foliage un- 

 der all sorts of adverse conditions. The flowers are 

 deeply shaded coppery yellow in color, and are of 

 large size. A strong and vigorous grower and a good 

 and constant bloomer. Mad. Francisca Kruger is just 

 the Rose that will give you the utmost satisfaction.

 tra good. The flowers are full double and sweet; they 

 are borne in abundance on long, stiff stems all through 

 the growing season. The color is pure white, faintly 

 tinged with blush and yellow; a good, healthy grower, 

 and altogether a pleasing and satisfactory Rose.

 by any Rose of its color. In the open ground it is truly 

 magnlflcent. The flowers are extra large, very double 

 and full, and are dellciously scented. The color is pale 

 canary yellow, passing to rich creamy white, shaded 

 with pale rose. It grows strong and sturdily, and 

 blooms constantly and with great freedom. As an out- 

 door Rose for bedding, massing or for single apeci- 

 nens It canDot be pxeeedpd 



MADAME DE VATRY 



One of the Brightest Rosea 



We consider this splendid variety to be not only 

 one of the brightest, but one of the very best and 

 most satisfactory Roses for general planting, es- 

 pecially outdoors. It makes big clean buds of great 

 beauty and opens well, showing the large, full, dou- 

 ble flowers to great advantage. The color is a rich 

 crimson scarlet, bright and beautiful. Blooms freely 

 and constantly; grows strong and healthy; holds the 

 foliage well. In every way a fine Rose.' 



MADAME ELIE LAMBERT

The flowers are extra large, fine globular form, 

 very full and well built up. The French description 

 says it is the absolute perfection of form. Color a 

 rich creamy white, faintly tinted with pale golden 

 yellow, and exquisitely bordered and tinted with soft 

 rosy flesh; very beautiful and sweet; petals large 

 and of good substance; constant and profuse bloomer; 

 vigorous and healthy grower— in short, a magnificent 

 Rose in every way.

 broad, thick petals; color a beautiful shade of amber 

 yellow, deepening toward centre to orange or coppery 

 yellow, delicately clouded with pale crimson; flowers
