 Camellia-shaped flowers. Color rosy flesh, on a yellow

August Metral. 



Buds crimson red, large full red flower, 

 varying from purple to crimson red ; 

 fragrant and very beautiful. Very choice. 25 cts. each. 



Belle Siebrecht. This l° ve ly variety was introduced last 



year. Another year's trial gave us a 



better opportunity to judge of its merits. We believe it to 

 be a Rose of more than ordinary value for amateur culture 

 for these reasons : it is hardy with protection ; it is as pretty 

 as La France or Duchess of Albany, and by far a freer 

 bloomer than either. The plants commence to bloom 

 when quite young and during the growing season the bush 

 usually has buds or flowers on it. The color is brilliant, 

 rich, deep pink ; the form is exquisitely beautiful. A Rose 

 of remarkable merit. 20 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 

 35 cts. each. 



Coronet. (Originated and introduced last year for the first 

 - time by the Dingee & Conard Co.). A magnifi- 

 cent Hybrid Tea Rose of great size, wonderful fragrance 

 and beauty. It is as large as Paul Nevron, as sturdy as 

 Bon Silene, as free blooming as Princess Bonnie or Clotilde 

 Soupert, and as fragrant as the Rose of Damascus, whose 

 fragrance has been celebrated for centuries. This grand 



new Rose created a sensation throughout the entire Rose 

 world. It is truly the greatest Rose introduced in this dec- 

 ade. Color clear shining rosy carmine, with edge of petals 

 distinctly marked with a band of silverv gray. This is a 

 true ever-blooming Paul Neyron, with flowers measuring 

 four to six inches across. Blooms continuously, and is as 

 pretty as a Pasony. Hardy with protection. Acknowledged 

 to be the grandest, sweetest, largest and freest-blooming 

 Hybrid Tea Rose in cultivation. It is a cross between Paul 

 Neyron and Bon Silene. Strong blooming plants, $1.00 

 each, postpaid by mail. 



Grand Duchess Victoria Melita. N u ow offered for 



the first time. 



Flowers large, double; buds long and pointed. Color 

 creamy white, with pale yellow centre. Resembles Kaiserin 

 Augusta Victoria, from which it is distinguished by more 

 vigorous growth. Fine for cutting and forcing. Fragrance 

 extremely sweet. Recommended as being better than 

 Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. Thus far with us it has failed 

 to equal that grand variety. Though inferior, it is still a 

 fine Rose, worthy of trial. It grows strongly with great 

 profusion and frequently in clusters. 40 cts. each.

 ing colors, from salmon rose to cop- 

 pery rose, very often of a handsome saffron hue, becoming
