The Exquisite Bloom 

 of Birdie Bly 



*DR. W. VAN FLEET— Flowers 

 when open run four inches and 

 over in diameter. The center is 



built high, petals beautifully undulated and cupped. The ^ 

 color is a remarkable shade of flesh-pink on the outer 

 surface, deepening to a rosy-flesh in the center. The 

 flowers are full and double, of delicate perfume; buds 

 pointed. It very much resembles Souv. de Pres. Carnot 

 in color. Strong, rapid grower. Immune from, insects 

 and disease. Foliage deep green the entire season. 



SOURCE D'OR— A golden yellow with large double 

 flowers. Strong rank grower. Absolutely hardy.

 most pleasing color. Flowers are borne in clusters; foliage glossy green. 



*LADY GODIVA — A magnificent white sport from Dorothy Perkins, 

 with flowers growing in splendid clusters and of remarkably vigorous 

 growth and handsome foliage. Dark green foliage and free from ravages 

 of insects or disease.

 one of the leaders. It is of the Rambler type and bears a wondrous pro- 

 fusion of lemon-yellow, semi-double flowers in large trusses. The buds 

 are beautiful deep yellow. Hardy and everblooming.
