HARDY EVERBLOOMING 

 TEA ROSES — Continued. 



Wm. R. Smith 



Especially suited for outdoor planting and cut- 

 ting purposes. The soft blending of the salmon- 

 pinks, rose-pinks, and the magnificent flesh tints 

 resemble the blush of a maiden's cheek. The flow- 

 ers are large, full and double, and most exquisitely- 

 formed. The petals are so firm they look like 

 wax. Perfect buds. The flowers are borne on 

 long, strong stems. 



PERLE DES JARDINS (Pearl of the Garden)— 



The color is a clear golden-yellow, of a beautiful 

 shade, and is entirely distinct from any other 

 variety; the flowers are large, full, of "jlobular 

 form, witii great depth, and substance, richly 

 perfumed, and very beautiful in every way. 



CORNELIA COOK— Of rapid growth, with 

 splendid foliage that rerely suffers from' the at- 

 tacks of insects. The flowers are borne in 

 great profusion and are very desirable. The 

 color is pure creamy white, tinged with lemon 

 and blush.

 of amber-yellow, deepening toward the center to

 creamy white, shaded with a golden yellow and 

 clear rose, of indescribable beauty.

 with red — almost disease and insect proof. Color 

 a soft blending of salmon-pink, rose-pink, and flesh 

 tints. 

 *SAFRANO— Valued very highly for its beautiful 

 buds and handsome flowers. The color is a bright 

 apricot-yellow, passing to orange and fawn, some- 

 times tinted with rose. 

 *MAD. FRANCISCA KRUGER— Of strong and 

 vigorous growth, and a constant bloomer, which is

The color of the flowers, which are large, full and 

 double, is pale canary-yellow, passing to rich, creamy- 

 white, shaded with pale rose.

 double, creamy-white flowers are produced in 

 marvelous profusion.

 ducing heavy stems, with large, healthy foliage 

 and flowers almost the equal and style of Helen 

 Gould, but more double; deep rose, with silvery 

 rose center. 



*PAPA GONTIER— A strong, vigorous grower and 

 constant bloomer; one of the best and most valu- 

 able, both for open ground and greenhouse; color 

 rich cherry-red, passing to clear, glowing crimson. 



PRINCESS BONNIE— The brightest, sweetest and 

 freest-blooming Rose in existence. Color solid 

 crimson, deeper and more vivid than "Gen. Jack." 

 Fragrance is sweeter than La France. 



MAD. DE WATTEVILLE— The Tulip Rose. The 

 color is a magnificent shade of creamy-yellow, 

 richly colored with a rosy blush; the largest petals 

 are bordered with bright crimson, giving it a very 

 striking and beautiful appearance.

 an excellent Rose in every way. The color is a 

 brilliant carmine, deeply shaded with violet-purple, 

 oftentimes tinged with buflf.
