White Golden Gate 



New Rose— White Golden Gate 



ONE of the most famous Roses in cultivation is GOLDEN 

 GATE. We introduced tliis grand variety in 1891. Since 

 that time it has become famous wherever Roses are 

 grown. Acres of glass are devoted to forcing this variety 

 alone for its magnificent flowers, which, when fully developed, 

 are as large as AMERICAN BEAUTY. No Rose that we have 

 ever seen will surpass it in delicate, dainty color effects and 

 form; in fact, it is a rose of indescribable beauty. For many years 

 it has been the favorite Rose at the White House, from which 

 fact it is sometimes called the "White House Rose." This grand 

 new variety is a sport or offspring of GOLDEN GATE, with 

 which it is identical, except in color. The flowers are ivory 

 white, with petals of leathery-like light substance. A dozen of 

 them grouped together affords a dazzling sight. Borne on strong, 

 stiff stems. 2 to 3 feet in length, this is easily the most massive 

 white Rose in cultivation. Long, elegantly pointed buds. We 

 have seen a single flower of this great variety, without the stem, 

 weighing three-quarters of a pound Strong vigorous-grower 

 At the great Flower Show held at Kansas City in the fall of 

 inoi this varietv won a gold medal and was awarded a medal 

 at the Pan-American Exposition, besides numerous other medals 

 and certificates of merit. 



Strong plants, 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts., postage paid; two- 

 year-old plants, 35 cts. each. 



Souv. De Aug. Metral 



This Rose is a strong, vigorous grower and an 

 abundant bloomer. Color pure deep red. large, 

 full flowers of good form and substance. Delight- 

 fully fragrant. Price, 15c. each; 4 for 50c.; 9 

 for fl* Two-year-old size, 35c. each. 



Sunrise 



Identical in form of flower and almost so in 

 manner of growth with Perle des Jardiii:;, uf 

 which it is an offspring. Color absolutely new, 

 the buds showing the high, brilliant colors seen 

 only in the Austrian Copper, scarlet and yel- 

 low; as the bud opens the color deepens, the scar- 

 let turning to dark red, the yellow to orange and 

 copper, inside of petals golden yellow. Large, 

 double and magnificently formed. 15c. each; 4 

 for 50c.; 9 for $1; two-year-old plants, 35c. each. 



Tlie Bride 



A Sweet Rose 

 A superb pure white Tea Rose, one of the best 

 of its color; the buds and flowers are unusually 

 large, flnely formed, very double and full, and 

 deliciouslv perfumed; It is a strong, healthy 

 grower and a quick and constant bloomer; docs 

 well in open ground, and is particularly valuable 

 for growing in greenhouse for cut flowers, as it 

 produces abundantly and its blooms are of the 

 most desirable form and quality for floral work, 

 bouquets, wreaths, etc. We notice in open ground 

 the flowers are sometimes delicately tinged wiih 

 pink, making it exceedingly attractive; almost 

 everyone who plants Roses wants one or more 

 Brides. There are many white Roses, but none 

 more satisfactory than this lovely variety. 



Uncle John 



An offspring of Golden Gate introduced by us 

 some years ago. Thousands of greenhouses are de- 

 voted to the growing of the Golden Gate as a 

 cut flower Rose. This variety differs from the par- 

 ent only in so far that the color is more pro- 

 nounced than CS»lden Gate, which to many may 

 be more acceptable. At any rate it is well worth 

 a trial. 15c. each; 9 for $1; two-year-old plants. 

 35c. each. 



Valle De Chamounix 



A Changeable Rose 

 This is one of the really elegant Roses, 

 distinct and beautiful; very double, full and 

 sweet; buds exceedingly pretty. The color 

 Is rich and, like Beaute Inconstante. is 

 variable. One bush will produce flowers of 

 many different colors, that are rich and 

 charming in the extreme. The colors range 

 from coppery yellow to rosy bhish and 

 crimson. The fragrance is delicious and 

 distinctly different from any other variety 

 we know. It is rich, and suggests the 

 delicious fragrance found in Cherry 

 blossoms. This is an exceedingly fine Rose 

 and one that everyone will like. 15e. each; 

 4 for 50c.; 9 for ^1. 



White Bougere 



A Splendid Out-door Rose 



For open ground planting it has no su- 

 perior. The flowers are unusually largo, 

 deep, full and double; long. stitT stems, and 

 borne throughout the season in groat abund- 

 ance. The color is pure, ivory white. Rot- 

 ter than Niphetos.
