 The Gem of the Garden 



Grand New Rose "Columbia" 



Not since the introduction of the glorious Rose, 

 American Beauty, have we been so impressed with 

 any Rose as we have been with "Columbia." A 

 hybrid tea of wonderful blooming qualities; as free 

 a bloomer as any tea Rose; blooms all the time. 

 Almost thornless. Wonderful strong shoots four 

 feet or more in length, each producing a magnifi- 

 cent bloom, often measuring six inches across the 

 open flower. Color a deep peach pink, deepening 

 into a glowing pink, a perfect color. The fra- 

 grance is beyond, description, sweeter than an 

 American Beauty. After a thorough trial we 

 heartily recommend it as a great outdoor Rose. 

 Hardy as an oak, thrives in any location, strong 

 grower and soon makes a great display. One of 



the most exquisite Roses for cutting we have ever 

 seen; produces handsome buds, on long, stiff stems 

 well above the foliage. Foliage is a dark green 

 and does not seem to be affected with disease or 

 troubled with insects; on account of its strong 

 growth, it seems to be able to w^ard both off, thus 

 making It one of the most popular outdoor Roses. 

 Don't fail to include one at least in your order; 

 you will never regret it. Price of own root
