HYBRID TEA ROSKS— Contiuued 



Francis Scott Key 



This American production, named in honor of the 



author of our national anthem, is a credit to its name. 



It is by far the most popular red rose, for its glowing^ 



colors, its remarkable size, its fullness, its perfec- 

 tion of form, make it a greatly prized variety. 



The color is a rich, glowing scarlet, with darker^ 



shadings, becoming darker as the flower ages. 



It is a continuous bloomer, producing its 



immense blooms on stout stems in great 



profusion. The growth is excellent and 



the foliage heavy, little troubled with disease. 



Very hardy. Reports from almost all sections of 



the country show excellent results with this re- 

 markable rose. 



Mrs. Archibald Mackey. Resembles the old 

 variety Belle Siebrecht, larger flower and 

 a better grower. Color a beautiful rose 

 pink. Buds handsome in form and color, 

 flowers opening full and double. Hardy everywhere. 



Victor. A new rose of American origin. Color a deep 

 rose and carmine, edges of petals carmine lake. Buds 

 long and pointed opening full and double on long stiff 

 stems well above the foliage. Delightfully fragrant. 

 Hardy in any location. Foliage dark green. 



Lady Alice Stanley. Color, coral-rose, the inside of the petals 

 shading to flesh-pink. Grand for bedding. One of the best pink 

 Hybrid Teas, and very popular because it is easy to grow even 

 under difficult conditions.

Kootenay 



A rose that seems to have escapea notice for 



several years, but which we have found to be 



by far the best of roses of lighter shades. 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. 



FoHage very heavy, unaffected by disease, and 



little troubled with insects. 



Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury. A cross between 



My Maryland, Joseph Hill, and Milady, it 



has the desirable features of all, the 



magnificent bud of My Maryland, and the 



double flower of Milady. Color a soft, 



silvery flesh pink, deepening towards the 



center to dark pink, the outer edge of the 



petals tinted silvery rose — a remarkable 



combination. Strong grower, with long 



stems, and fohage that is very healthy. 



Colonel Oswald Fitzgerald (H. T.). A 



brilliant Rose. Its blood red velvety 



crimson beautifuUy finished blooms are 



produced in great profusion. 



Crimson Champion. Beautiful buds of 



scarlet crimson, large semi-double. Strong 



sturdy grower and free bloomer. Makes a 



well formed bush. Hardy in any location.
