HYBRID TEAS— Cont'd. 



'•Columbia" 



Not since the introduc- 

 tion of the glorious Rose, 

 American Beauty, have we 

 been so impressed with any 

 Rose as we have been with 

 "Columbia." A hybrid tea of 

 wonderful blooming qualities; 

 as free a bloomer as any tea 

 Rose; blooms all the time. 

 Almost thornless. Wonderful 

 strong shoots four feet or more 

 in length, each producing a 

 magnificent bloom, often 

 measuring six inches across 

 the open flower. Color a deep 

 peach pink, deepening into a 

 glowing pink, a perfect color. 

 The fragrance is beyond de- 

 scription, sweeter than an 

 American Beauty. Hardy as 

 an oak, thrives in any loca- 

 tion, strong grower and soon 

 makes a great display. One 

 of the most exquisite Roses 

 for cutting we have ever seen; 

 produces handsome buds, on 

 long, stiff stems well above the 

 foliage. Foliage is a dark 

 green and does not seem to be 

 affected with disease or 

 troubled with insects; on ac- 

 count of its strong growth, it 

 seems to be able to ward both 

 off, thus making it one of the 

 most popular outdoor Roses. 



Kootenay. It is one of the strongest growing Hybrid Teas, forming a large bush in a short 

 time, and made up of long, stout shoots, each topped by a cluster of marvelous blooms on 

 long stems. The buds are long and pointed, and of exquisite form, opening to large 

 rounded flowers, very full and double. Color a creamy white, with a shading of flesh 

 colors towards the center. Foliage very heavy, unaffected by disease, and little troubled 

 with insects. 



Dean Hole. Silvery carmine Roses with salmon shadings. The coloring is distinct and unique; 

 handsome tribute to the eminent Rosarian whose name it bears. 



Gladys Holland. Magnificent in form and size. Color buff, shaded orange, yellow, outside of 

 petals, pearly peach, a combination of colors that produces an effect hard to describe; free 

 blooming and very vigorous grower. 



Mary Countess of Ilchester. Color warm crimson-carmine. Flowers on long stems, of im- 

 mense size, with smooth, circular petals. 



Mad. Caroline Testout. This is the Rose which grows so luxuriantly in the Far West that it 

 has been adopted by the State of Oregon as its State Flower. In color, it is of a satiny 

 Rose, deepening to clear red in the center. One of the most dependable roses. 



Mad. Jules Grolez. The color is a distinct and charming shade of cherry-red. The fine form 

 and attractive shape of the flowers makes them excellent for cutting. Remarkably strong. 



Red Cross. A rose of unusual markings and color. Color, orange crimson-scarlet. Buds 

 finely formed, long and pointed, opening full and carried on strong stems. Delightfully 

 fragrant, a fine decorative rose. 



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 5 

 formed, with high-pointed center. Very sweetly perfumed. The color, which is very novel, \ 

 is a dainty, clear rose-madder. The growth is vigorous, erect and of very free-flowering habit, | 



Bessie Brown. The plants are hardy and vigorous, producing flowers profusely in the opei 

 ground all through the summer. The color is pure white, flushed with pink; petals largf 

 and of fine form. 



Florence Pemberton. Distinctive creamy white, shaded rose; petals bordered rosy salmon 

 flowers large, very full and beautifuUy formed. Constantly in bloom. 



Etoile de France. The strong, upright bushes have beautiful bronze-green foUage, which is | 

 not subject to insect attacks. The bushes are blooming constantly, producing large, mas 

 sive, deep, full cup-formed flowers of clear red or velvety crimson.
