Pink Maman Cochet 



We have always regarded this as the Queen of all 

 Pink Garden Roses, and, as our friends become 

 acquainted "vs-ith it, they join us in similar admira- 

 tion of its exqui.sit€ form and delicate beauty. The 

 buds are large, full and firm, elegantly pointed,

 This is a Rose that will grow and give satisfac- 

 tion in almost any soil or situation. It produces 

 its splendid flowers in amazing profusion, on long, 

 strong shoots. For \'igor and freedom of bloom, 

 thousands of growers regard this Rose as better 

 than American Beauty, and without a peer. The 

 flowers are ver\' full, perfectly double; buds long and 

 pointed. Color warm, rosy crimson, hardy everv'- 

 where. 



Yellow Maman Cochet 



We continue to regard this grand kind as abso- 

 lutely the best hardy, everblooming yellow Rose. It 

 is ideal for open -ground culture, 

 -^^ —a typical Cochet Pcose, with 



gracefully molded buds, flowers 

 magnificent when open, on stiff, 

 strong stems. This kind is iden- 

 tical in even,' way -n-ith Pink and 

 White Cochet, except in the color 

 of the flower, which is deep sul- 

 phur-yellow. 



Identical with 

 in color, which is snowy white 

 faint tinge slightly suggesting 

 pale blush. It has the same 

 freedom of bloom, the same 

 magnificent form of buds and 

 flowers, and the same hardi- 

 ness, — standing at the very 

 head of all the Roses as the 

 best white kind for open- 

 ground culture. Vigorous as 

 an oak and hardy ever^-r^-here.
