Brilliant White Rose 



^ Great Roses are made all the greater by the publicity 

 given them. Frequently a variety of more than ordinary 

 worth is allowed to "waste its sweetness on the desert air" 

 because the public is unacquainted with its merits. This 

 is especially true of this great variety. Makes strong, 

 upright bush, with beautiful deep green foliage; practically 

 thornless. While a Hybrid Perpetual, yet like the Hybrid 

 Tea Roses, bears in greatest profusion large, pointed buds 

 and massive flowers on long, stiff, heavy shoots; the open 

 flower is enormous, full, deep and double. Rich creamy- 

 white, passing, when open, to a pale shade of salmon-yellow 

 deepest at the center. Absolutely hardy everywhere. 



MAD. CHARLES WOOD— Begins to bloom almost as 

 soon as planted, and continues all through the season; 

 flowers extra large, double, full and quite fragrant ; bright 

 fiery scarlet, passing to fine, rosy crimson, shaded with 

 maroon; showy and handsome. 



Price of all Roses on this page, except where noted, first size 

 plants, 30c each; any 2 for 50c; two-year-old plants, all on own 

 roots, 85c each; $8.50 per dozen of one or more varieties, by ex- 

 press, or 95c each by parcel post prepaid with soil on roots. 

 Varieties marked * furnished in still larger or star size at $1.25 

 each. 



An intense deep scarlet-rose, shaded blackish-crimson, 

 color like the sheen of a plum, often 7 inches in diameter 

 and 5 mches deep. J. B. Clark has created a great sen- 

 sation throughout the United States and Europe. A 

 wonderfully strong and upright grower, exceedingly vigor- 

 ous, with splendid and heavy dark bronze-green foliage. 

 The glory of the plant is in its flowers, however, as they are 

 extraordinary in size, full and double, wonderfully fragrant, 

 of great depth, and borne freely from the first year, on long, 

 stiff stems. _ This Rose has proven hardy, even in Canada, 

 and a genuine treat is in store for everyone who plants it. 

 We have a large stock of own-root plants, all in splendid 

 condition.

*MAp. PLANT lER— For outdoor planting, the best 

 white Hybrid Perpetual. Especially good for cemetery 

 planting. Flowers are pure white, very large and double ; 

 a continuous bloomer. One of the best white hardy 

 Roses, 



MARGARET DICKSON— The flower is of magnificent 

 form, very large in size, almost as large as Paul Neyron, 

 the largest of all Roses ; color is pure waxy white, without 

 spot or blemish; petals very large, well shaped and of 

 great substance. They are prettily curled back or re- 

 flexed, giving the flower inimitable grace and charm. 

 The buds are large and globular, particularly exquisite 

 and handsome. It is a strong, vigorous grower, with fine 

 foliage; a free bloomer. Should be included in every 

 order. Two-year-old, budded plants, only $1.25 each, by 

 express.
