HYBRID TEA ROSES — Continued 



Nationcd Emblem 



^ Hoosier Beauty 



This beautiful Rose is fragrant as Richmond; has 

 more petals, a stiffer stem, a texture like velvet. In 

 color, glowing crimson scarlet, with darker shadings. 

 The bud is of good length, keeps well in the close-cut 

 state, and opens into magnificent bloom, quite dazzling 

 in its velvety brilliance. As soon as thoroughly estab- 

 lished in the soil it sends out long, stiff- growth with a 

 bud on every shoot. Produces, naturally, stems 2 to 3 

 feet in length; each plant keeps up a very close succes- 

 sion of bloom, and again, unlike Richmond, it is a good 

 summer Rose. It is an easy grower, and has become 

 instantly popular and in heavy demand in the cities 

 where blooms have been sold, flower buyers through the 

 section calling for it by name. 



GENERAL McARTHUR — Of strong, vigorous, healthy 

 growth, branching freely, it produces its wonderful 

 blooms profusely from May until October, of full 

 scarlet crimson. Every shoot carries a large, double, 

 well-formed flower of exquisite fragrance and lasting 

 quality.

National Emblem I 



Owing to its magnificent color and forma- 

 tion this Rose was named National Emblem, 

 and no Rose in our estimation has a better 

 right to the honor of being the Standard 

 Bearer. Its color is a deep crimson overlaid 

 velvety crimson, shading to vermilion toward 

 the edges. Buds long and pointed on stout 

 stems, opening full and double, each one com- 

 ing to perfection, and produced in marvelous 

 profusion throughout the entire sea- 

 son. Plants make a gorgeous sight 

 owing to the brightness of the 

 ^. blooms and the luster of the foliage, 



being entirely free from mildew. 



=^BRITISH QUEEN — By some said to be the 

 finest white Rose in existence, surpassing in 

 beauty and form any other white Rose, The 

 flower resembles Frau Karl Druschki and 

 White Maman Cochet, with the Tea Rose 

 form and refinement. Flowers freely all 

 summer long from early spring until frost. 

 Buds sometimes show a slight flush, which 

 disappears as the flower expands. Strong 

 grower. Hardy. Awarded a gold medal by 

 the National Rose Society of England. 



* CLARA WATSON — Rich salmon-pink, with 

 very graceful flowers, resembling Bridesmaid 

 in form and produced in remarkable profu- 

 sion. The buds, which are supported on 

 long stems, are very beautiful. 



*F. R. PATZER— Hybrid Tea. A Rose of 

 striking and pleasing appearance, owing to 

 the delicate blending of color, which is a 

 creamy-bufT, with the reverse of petals a deli- 

 cate warm pink, and as they expand the 

 color becomes a light orange pink, which 

 produces a most charming combination. 

 Strong, vigorous grower. Produces numer- 

 ous branches, each one crowned with mag- 

 nificent bud and bloom, on long, stifif stems, 

 well above the foliage. Hardy and an ex- 

 cellent garden variety. 



ROBIN HOOD — A grand grower, producing 

 heavy canes and foliage. Blooms of im- 

 mense size like the Jun^- Rose or Hybrid 

 Perpetual. Color glorious rosy-scarlet that 

 is soft, bright and lasting. Free bloomer, 

 that is, blooming the entire growing season.

 Rose, and has a truly unique color — ruddy 

 gold. Blooms, extremely large, fairly full,
