DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING 



Directions for Planting'; Plant in an open, airy 

 situation unshaded by trees. lUises are very partial 

 to clay loam, but will do well iu any ordinary soil 

 If enriched with bone. Dig the soil up thoroughly to 

 the depth of 12 or 15 inches, as rose roots pene- 

 trate deeply. Hush Koses may be best arranged to- 

 gether in beds or borders. The sizi' and shain' of 

 a bed, wherever planted, s'.ioulil nuidf to tit the 

 situation. Althonsh in warm 1ik :i litn-s, w'.i ri' plant 

 growth is luxurious, a KM'iit<'r intiTval is necessary, 

 18 inches apart is Renerallv aecei)te(l as the proper 

 spacing. On this basis, bed's 4i/. feet wicb' will take 

 three rows, and if six feet long, will requii-e a dozen 

 plants. Or a dozen plants would occupy a o-foot 

 bed with two rows nine feet long. Delightful ar- 

 rangements in odd shapes, and by comlunatiou of 

 various classes, may bp worked out according to t'lc 

 individual planter's fancy and ingenuity. 



PINK MAMAM- COCHET (Tea). 



Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed liy 

 this variety is well nigh marvelous, and cannot 1 c seen 

 in any other Kose we know. The buds are lieautiful ; 

 large, full and firm and elegantly pointed ; as tliev ex- 

 pand they show great deptli and richness. Flowers su- 

 perb when open, 

 extra large, per- 

 fectly double and 

 of splendid sub- 

 Stance. Perfectly 

 hardy in all sec 

 tions of the 

 country. T h e

 pink, changing to 

 silvery-rose.

 opaline-pink tints in the open flower. The form is fine, 

 largest size and full, with cupned petals. It blooms con- 

 stantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is a superior Rose. 



WHITE MAMAN COCHET. 

 Or Priscilla — The Charming New White Tea Rose. 



It belongs to the Tea class, being a child of that grandest 

 of bedding or outdoor Roses, Maman Cochet, and is hardy in 

 Northern Ohio with slight protection in winter. Its habit is 

 exceedingly strong and upright, like its parent, and it pos- 

 sesses the same large, beautiful healthy foliage, and is a 

 most profuse and constant bloomer. The flowers are of enor- 

 mous size, remarkably round and full; pure, clear, snowy- 

 white throughout, and are delightfully tea-scented. It is by 

 far the finest and most reliable w'nte b':'dd:"^g Rose yet 

 produced.

 cellent in quality, bountiful in bloom. It will

 quisite in form, and the petals are so firm 

 they look like wax, softly curled. Color 

 cream with flesh tint tips, buff yellow base, 

 and the center and heart of pink. Perfect 

 buds. The flowers are borne on long stems. 

 Fragrance delightful. Blooms profusely.
