Tea Rose This is one of the newer varieties intro- 

 duced by the growers of Lady Hillingdon. We have not 

 seen a Rose that has met with such universal appreciation 

 by both the amateur and professional grower. The color 

 is very hard to describe, being a shade of brilliant clear 

 rose or bright peach-pink. It is a wonderful grower and 

 bloomer, producing great numbers of strong shoots, each 

 tipped with a bud. These shoots form the stem, from 

 3 to 4 feet in length. The flowers are very large, well 

 formed and full, petals of good substance. A very fine 

 garden Rose as well as a forcing Rose. 

 ♦MRS. HUGH DICKSON— A Rose suit- 

 able for any purpose, delightfully 

 perfumed, producing its large flowers 

 in great profusion. The petals are 

 large and of excellent substance, and 

 the flowers of superb build, with 

 high-pointed centers, with a beauti- 

 ful outline. Color, a deep cream, 

 with heavy profusion of orange and 

 apricot. Splendid grower. 

 DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON — A 

 peerless Tea-like Rose, and one of 

 the best in our trial grounds, with 

 beautifully smooth and massive 

 petals. The blooms are very large, 

 full and perfectly formed, with high- 

 pointed center. Very sweetly per- 

 fumed. The color, which is very 

 novel, is a dainty, clear rose-madder. 

 The growth is vigorous, erect and 

 of very free-flowering habit. 

 MADAME COLLETTE MARTINET— Beautiful old 

 gold-yellow, shaded w^ith orange-yellow^, with long 

 golden-yellow buds, opening into a fairly large 

 globular flower; very vigorous grower of a splen- 

 did branching habit, with reddish foliage; very 

 fine. 

 *NERISSA (Hybrid Tea) — Color, creamy yellow, 

 • shaded with w^hite and peach tint toward center. 

 Bud handsome, long and pointed, opening full 

 and double. Rank grower. Wonderful bloomer, 

 making an excellent bedding and garden rose. 

 ANGELUS — A beautiful creamy-white Rose, large, 

 full (40 to 45 petals), similar in form to Premier, 

 but higher center. Vigorous grower with dark 

 green foliage, free from disease and insect-proof. 

 Buds long, pointed, and as they open the outer 

 petals curve back, producing a charming effect. 

 Price — First size plants, 50c each, postpaid; 

 two-year-dld plants, $1.50 each, postpaid.

 Gentlemen: 



I am just in receipt of your fall catalogue — 

 thanks. More than 40 years of dealing with your 

 firm has convinced me of the superiority of your 

 stock, and by your liberal and fair dealing one can 

 always be assured of complete satisfaction. 

 Yours very truly,

^Premier 



Hybrid Tea — The blooms are immense, often 

 measuring 5 and 6 inches across the open flower, 

 buds long, full and pointed. Growth remarkable, 

 being strong and sturdy, each bloom borne on heavy 

 canes, almost thornless and 4 and 5 feet long. Foli- 

 age dark, glossy green, free from disease or insects. 

 Color is deep rose pink, without shadings and re- 

 tains its color in the open flower. Highly fragrant. 



RED COLUMBIA A sport of the great Rose Co- 

 lumbia, which has become one of the most pop- 

 ular varieties in the cut-flower market, as well 

 as a garden variety. The Red Columbia is not 

 quite as full and double as Columbia, but has 

 the same good qualities in every other respect. 



Color, a deep brilliant red. Price First size 



plants, 50c each; 3 for $1.25. Two-year-old 

 plants, $1.25 each. 



WILLOWMERE (Hybrid Tea)— Strong, vigorous 

 grower. Superb rich, rimmed pink, shaded yel- 

 low in the center, delicately blended with car- 

 mine-pink. Buds long and pointed, opening up 

 a cup-shaped flower.

 Roses on this page, except here noted; 3 for $1.00, post-
