 straight, upright stems. Buds long and pointed, opening 

 full and double, perfect form, massive petals. Resembles 

 American Beauty in shape and size. Strong, healthy 

 grower, excellent foliage, constant bloomer, making an ideal 

 garden Rose. 



*PRIMA DONNA— A hybrid Tea. Claimed to be one of 

 the strongest growing Hybrid Tea Roses in cultivation, 

 and as free a bloomer as any of the Tea Roses. Color a 

 deep rose-pink, petals waved or undulated on the edges, 

 giving it an elegance of form seen in no other Rose. Good 

 for forcing or outdoor growing. Buds long and pointed, 

 opening full and double. 



KILLARNEY BRILLIANT— An oflfspring of Pink Kil- 

 larney, but several shades darker, the color being a 

 beautiful shade of brilliant red. Habit of growth same 

 as Killarney. Just as free a bloomer. 



FLORENCE FORRESTER — Clear snow-white with a 

 lemon tinge ; as the flowers age they become a pure white ; 

 the blooms are even larger than Paul Neyron. 



PERLE VON GODESBERG — The color is a rich canary- 

 yellow with shadings of saffron. The flowers are massive 

 in size, full and double, with the petals elegantly re- 

 curved. 



The color is one so difficult to describe that any descrip- 

 tion can only be a partial one, and gives but a faint idea 

 of the superb beauty and richness of the shades. Salmon- 

 flesh, shaded with rose. Buds of unusual attractiveness, 

 opening full and double. Habit excellent, growth strong, 

 \ produces flowers on long stems, well up above the 



.^ foliage, and in great profusion all summer. Hardy 

 ' in almost all localities. Grand for forcing or out- 

 doors. 



*MRS. A. R. WADDELL— This is one of the 



most beautiful Hybrid Tea Roses in bud and flower 

 of any grown. The flowers are of the largest size, 

 of perfect form, and possess wonderful keeping 

 qualities. The coloring is most brilliant in effect, being 

 a rosy-scarlet, opening rosy-salmon, with reverse of 

 petals rosy-scarlet. The bush is a sturdy, erect and 

 vigorous grower, requiring but little care. 



MELODY — A lovely shade of yellow, deepening to apricot 

 in the center, perfect in form and very double. It is one 

 of the handsomest yellow Roses we have ever seen and as 

 a garden Rose cannot be surpassed. The bush is hardy, 

 vigorous and constantly in bloom. 



MRS. DUDLEY CROSS — In color, a pale chamois, or 

 light yellow faintly flushed with rose. The flowers are 

 beautifully formed, large, full and double, and are of 

 splendid substance, borne continuously on long, stiffs 

 stems, and for cutting it is most valuable. Bears its 

 handsome flowers in great profusion all summer through. 



PRINCE OF BULGARIA— Not the least of its charms 

 is the large, bright green foliage, and the buds are simply 

 grand. The flowers are large and quite full; outer petals 

 superb rosy-flesh with the index petals of a slightly 

 lighter tint. 



TRIUMPH DE PERNET PERE— A French Rose 

 originated by Jean Pernet, of France. Flowers large, 

 with broad, thick petals, and long pointed buds. Deli- 

 cious Tea fragrance. Clear magenta-red passing to 

 bright crimson. 



WELLE SLEY — A most magnificent garden Rose of a 

 beautiful shade of pink, vigorous, healthy growers; re- 

 markably free-flowering, with fine keeping qualities; 

 most valuable Rose for garden, as it is particularly 

 adapted for outdoor culture. Blooms produced on long, 

 stiff stems. 



NATALIE BOTTNER — Blooms of bright lemon-yellow, 

 borne on long, stiff stems, very vigorous and free-bloom- 

 ing. Blooms resemble the famous Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria, and if you will imagine a bloom of this size only 

 being lemon-yellow, it is bound to become one of the 

 most popular yellow Hybrid Tea Roses in existence.
