Queen Beatrice. The $30,000 Rose 



Many of our friends have written to us to thank us for our work in introducing this magnificent 

 American Rose, and those who have never planted it should do so this spring. It is a Hybrid Tea a 

 -cross between Mad. Abel Chatenay and Liberty, with color an intermediate shade between those of 'its 



two parents. When first open- 

 n ing it is much darker than the 

 Bridesmaid, and gradually 

 fades to the beautiful silvery 

 pink of La France when the 

 Rose is at its best. The form 

 of the flower resembles that of 

 Liberty, large, full and double. 

 It is a strong and healthy 

 grower and very free-flowering. 

 Delicately fragrant and a splen- 

 did keeper, it is ideal for cut- 

 flower purposes. $30,000 was 

 paid for the control of the 

 original plants. 25 cts. each, $1 

 for 5; larger size, 35 cts. each, 

 $1 for 3, postpaid. 2 -year -old 

 plants, 50 cts. each, $2.75 for 6, 

 $5 per doz. 



MADAM CAROLINE TEST- 

 OUT. A Rose of great beau- 

 ty. After thorough trial we 

 recommend it as one of the 

 best for outdoor culture. 

 Flowers and buds large and 

 of elegant form, of a bright, 

 satin rose-color, deepening 

 at the center to a clear red. 

 MAD. SCHWALLER. A strong 

 grower and a grand variety 

 of that type, of which are 

 far too few. Blooms in large 

 clusters; large, globular flow- 

 ers; fine salmon-rose; finely 

 edged violet - carmine, with 

 delightful fragrance. 

 AURORA. More like a Tea 

 Rose than a Hybrid Tea 

 Rose. One of the best varie- 

 ties off ered in this book. Better than Champion of the World, on account of its size; free-blooming 

 and vigorous growth. Beautiful, large and fuU flowers of bright pink, shading to a paler pink. 

 Price of the above three varieties, 15 cts. each, 50 cts. for 4, $1 for 9 ; larger size, 20 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3, 

 postpaid; 2-yr,-old plants, 25 cts. each, by express 



DEAN HOLE. Very free; flowers large, of great 

 substance and fine form, which cannot be excelled 

 in variety. Color silvery carmine, shaded salmon ; 

 entirely distinct and by far the finest in its way 

 of color. An especially fine variety. 20 cts. each, 

 6 for $1 ; larger size, 25 cts. each, 60 cts. for 3 ; 

 2-year-old plants, 40 cts. each. 



ADINE. Color orange-yellow, passing into aurora- 

 rose, often yellow, white and carmine ; very attrac- 

 tive. Flowers of graceful form, large and well- 

 filled, are borne on stiff, upright stems. The 

 bushes are thrifty. An excellent outdoor Rose. 



MAD. GEORGES BENARD. Double flowers, with 

 finely formed buds. Color is of a very light rose, 

 with silvery reflection on yellow groiind. 



PINK ROVER. The open flowers have the delicate 

 tints of Alba or Maiden's Blush Roses. It is of 

 chmbing habit; hardy with protection, and very 

 sweet. The color is pale pink, flushing to a deeper 

 shade in the center. 



LADY BATTERSEA (Red Niphetos). A beautiful 

 color of wine-red. We believe this to be one of the 

 most praiseworthy of the newer Roses, and none 

 of our customers have been disappointed in it. 



President Roosevelt 'TelZ:Tt'<^^T^ 



This is a thoroughly distinct Rose, which has already taken high place in its class. It is the result 

 of years of hard labor in hybridization from seedlings. President Roosevelt Rose has a splendid constitu- 

 tion, though rather dwarf in its habit of growth, and produces a great abundance of lovely buds and 

 flowers throughout the season. Blooms are finely formed, with petals of wonderful substance ; color 

 bright, lively pink, which remain true to the last. The bloom of this Rose is similar to a cherry blossom, 

 and it excels most of the pink kinds in its freedom of blooming when planted in the open ground. For 

 sale only by us. 20 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3; larger size, 25 cts. each, $1 for 5; 2-yr.-old plants, 40 cts. each.
