JLady Hillingdon 



Souv. de Pierre Netting 



Strong, bushy habit, and has won numerous gold 

 medals and awards of raierit. The flowers are very 

 large, well filled and open easily; color apricot- 

 yellow, tinged with golden and mixed with orange- 

 yellow edge of petal shaded carmine-rose. In form 

 and beauty it is the equal of Maman Cochet, and by 

 many is regarded as the best all-around Rose for 

 general cultivation. It is hardy and alwaj^s in bloom. 

 THE BRIDE— There is no other white Rosemore 

 satisfactory- than the Bride. When planted in the 

 open ground, the flowers are found to be deli- 

 cately tinted with pink, making it exceedingly at- 

 tractive. The buds and flowers are unusually 

 large, well formed and deliciously perfumed. It 

 is of a strong and healthy growth, and a profuse 

 bloomer. 

 COUETTE DE LYON— This is one of the best 

 yellow Tea Roses for open ground culture. The 

 flowers are extra large, deep and double; color 

 pure canary-yellow. Unlike other yellow Roses, 

 it is a strong, vigorous grower. 

 *DUCHESS DE BRABANT— A very vigorous and 

 healthy variety, producing large blossoms which 

 are beautiful in buds or open flower. The color 

 is a fine shade of soft, rosy pink, which deepens 

 to bright rose. 

 ENFANT DE LYON (The Sweet Anise Rose — 

 In color the flowers are a beautiful creamy rose, 

 delicatelj- shaded with a coppery yellow.

" "Lady Hillingdon 



One of the latest introductions of the Tea class 

 and has taken the medal over all other yellow Roses, 

 the color being one almost beyond description, 

 apricot yellow shaded to orange on the outer edge 

 of the petals, becoming deeper and more intense 

 toward the center of the bloom. The color does 

 not fade after the bloom is cut, but invariably be- 

 comes darker. Buds are produced on long, strong, 

 wirey stems, well above the foliage, producing a 

 slender and graceful effect. A valuable addition to 

 any amateur's garden, as well as to the professional 

 grower, all of whom will find this Rose the color 

 they have long desired. A strong, hearty, healthful 

 grower. 



CATHERINE MERMET— One of the best varieties 

 of Tea Roses. A very free bloomer, producing 

 clear, shining pink flowers, the center being shaded 

 fawn and amber. It is a good Rose for open 

 ground culture and forcing under glass. 

 FREIHERR VON MARSCHALL— As an outdoor 

 Rose it has no superior. It has w^onderfully beau- 

 tiful foliage and produces large, full, beautifully 

 shaped flowers, which are borne in profusion all 

 through the season. The color is bright red, one 

 of the best red Tea Roses that is known. 

 ISABELLA SPRUNT— This golden yellow Rose 

 has been known as a favorite for over twenty 

 years. It is a free bloomer, producing flowers of 

 bright canary-yellow, very sweetly scented. The 

 buds are very desirable for cut flowers.
