Beautiful La France Roses 



Of all the Hybrid Teas there are none which excel 

 the La France Roses in all the good points neces- 

 sary to a good Rose. Practically hardy everywhere; 

 splendidly adapted for general planting and deserve 

 a place in every flower garden of America. 

 *PINK LA FRANCE — Exceedingly sweet and 

 handsome; flowers and buds large size, color 

 lovely shade of silvery pink, tinged with crimson; 

 fragrance delicious; flowers very full and beautiful. 

 *WHITE LA FRANCE— (Augustine Guinoisseau) 

 — A pure white member of the La France family, 

 having just a tinge of rose-blush tint, which 

 grows stronger in the depths of the petals. 

 RED LA FRANCE (Duchess of Albany)— A superb 

 Rose; resembles the Pink La France, but is much 

 deeper in color. 

 *YELLOW LA FRANCE (Mad. Pemet Ducher)— 

 One of the best of the newer French Roses of its 

 color; very pretty flower, semi-double. Bright 

 canary-yellow. 

 STRIPED LA FRANCE— This Rose is almost ex- 

 actly the same as Pink La France, except in color, 

 which is bright satiny pink distinctly striped with 

 bright rose.

— i- Pmk, White, Striped, Red, and 



Yellow La France Roses for $1.25, postpaid; two-

The greatest hardy, white Hybrid Tea Rose in ex- 

 istence. A strong, sturdy grower; free-flowering; it 

 has become the most popular of all white Roses for 

 general planting. Continuously from early spring 

 until late fall, with pointed buds, the large, double 

 flowers are glorious in their perfection; borne on 

 long, stiff stems; delicate pure white, deliciously fra- 

 grant. Unexcelled for cutting; absolutely hardy. 

 Although grown extensively under glass, it is essen- 

 tially a garden Rose. There is nothing finer than 

 this glorious Rose. 



*MAp. JULES GROLEZ, Red Kaiserin Augusta— 



This magnificent Rose is exceedingly free bloom- 

 ing, Vs^ith very large, finely formed flowers. The 

 color is a distinct and charming shade of cherry- 

 red. The fine form and attractive shape of the 

 flowers makes them excellent for cutting. It is a 

 remarkably strong, healthy growing variety, and 

 is as hardy as the Hybrid Perpetuals. 



MAD. CAROLINE TESTOUT— This is the Rose 

 which grows so luxuriantly in the Far West that 

 it has been adopted by the State of Oregon as its 

 State Flower. The gardens of the cities along 

 the Pacific Coast are the wonder of the world by 

 the profusion of the bloom of this remarkable 

 Rose. In color, it is of a satiny rose, deepening 

 to clear red in the center. 



BEAUTY OF STAPLEFORD— A handsome, bright 

 pink Rose of large size and perfect form. Noted 

 particularly for its free and constant blooming 

 quality. Grows a strong, hardy bush. 



MAD. SCHWALLER— A beautiful combination of 

 salmon-rose with edges of the petals touched with 

 violet-carmine. 



MADAME PAUL EULER ("Prima Donna")— The 

 color is a lovely shade of vermilion-pink, changing 

 to silvery-pink. 



WM. NOTTING— Owing to its size and freedom of 

 bloom it should be in every garden. Blooms fine, 

 large, full and double and perfect formation. Color 

 a bright rosy cerise, with a deeper center. Frag- 

 rant. Hardy and everblooming. 



HELENA CAMBIER— Of unusual beauty, with 

 large, double, beautifully formed flowers, the col- 

 ors are varying, ranging from salmon-rose to cop- 

 pery-rose; very often a handsome saffron hue. 

 As the flowers expand the colors become lighter. 

 A most remarkable sort in every respect and one 

 to which we give our highest endorsement. Good 

 everywhere. 



LA TOSCA— A beautiful shade of light pink; in 

 many cases having the appearance almost of a 

 pure white Rose.
