ALWAYS If you woul( ^ have five of

BLOOM. 



cultivation, varieties that 



are hardy and free bloom- 

 ing — worth five times their number in 

 cheap unknown varieties with little or no 

 merit— we would strongly urge you to 

 plant the Enchantress Collection. 



Who would be without beautiful Roses 

 when they can be had so cheaply ? We 

 prefer the five varieties in this collection 

 to twenty common varieties, because they 

 are sure to grow and bloom and will give 

 an abundance of exquisite flowers that 

 acknowledge no superiors in this class. 

 Nearly every one knows of the beauty of 

 Meteor, crimson ; Marie Guillot, white, 

 and Bridesmaid, pink, but Enchantress 

 and Viscountess Folkstone deserve spe- 

 cial mention. 



THERE ARE NO BETTER 

 ROSES IN CULTIVATION 



than these two rare sorts. We consider 

 them without a peer. If you have had 

 what is known as " poor luck" with your 

 Roses, plant this collection and you are 

 sure to have what is known as "good 

 luck." They will bloom from June until 

 severe frosts.

 "The Enchantress Co/ lection." 



Enchantress 



^ A Creamy "White and Buff.— Beyond question this 

 is one of the very finest new Roses introduced in many 

 years. We have given it a careful trial and find it possesses 

 unusual merit. It blooms with astonishing freedom, bear- 

 ing its immense globular flowers on strong, erect stems ; 

 they are frequently seen in clusters of five and six flowers. 

 It is as free blooming as Princess Bonnie. The color of 

 flower is exquisite — creamy white, slightly tinged with buff 

 in the centre ; a lovely effect similar to that seen in flowers 

 of Gloire de Dijon. Extremely vigorous growth, fine fo- 

 liage and, apart from its value in open ground, is particu- 

 larly valuable in pots for late Autumn and Winter bloom- 

 ing. We recommend this variety as one of the best Tea 

 Roses in our collection. 25 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 

 40 cts. each. 



Viscountess Folkstone 



$ Flesh Color. —This magnificent Rose is as strong 

 growing, as free blooming, as hardy and as beautiful as 

 President Carnot, a Rose whose beauty has taken the coun- 

 try by storm. The flowers are simply grand, extra large, 

 highly built and double. The color is a beautiful shade of 

 pale, tender flesh, with satiny lustre, resembling glossy 

 silk. Looks like President Carnot Rose ; highly scented ; 

 splendid in open ground. 15 cts. each; two-year-old 

 plants, 35 cts. each. 



Meteor 



^ Rich Velvety Crimson.— Belongs to the Hybrid Tea 

 class, and is one of the brightest colored and most brilliant 

 Roses we have. The color is rich velvety crimson, exceed- 

 ingly bright and striking, and both buds and flowers are 

 large and elegantly formed, fully double and borne on 

 nice long stems. It is a vigorous and healthy grower, and 

 a quick and constant bloomer. 15 cts. each ; two-year-old 

 plants, 35 cts. each. 



Marie Guillot 



5^ Snow White.— We consider this variety one of the 

 grandest Roses of its color in cultivation. A trial will con- 

 vince any one that this indorsement is not extravagant. 

 The flowers are full and extra large, very double and 

 sweetly scented ; has many rivals, but no equals, for open- 

 ground cultivation. 15 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 30 

 cts. each. 



Bridesmaid 



$ One of the Finest Outdoor Roses. — A delightful 

 new Tea Rose, a sport from the old and popular pink Tea. 

 Catharine Mermet, but of a fine, clear, dark pink, much 

 deeper and more constant in color than Mermet ; very de- 

 sirable ; does exceedingly well in the open ground and is 

 also valuable for forcing. 15 cts. each ; two year-old 

 plants, 30 cts. each.
