 Yellow Tea Rose 



"HARRY KIRK." 



This charming novelty is an introduction of Messrs. Dickson & 

 Sons, and is now offered by us for the first time. The introducers 

 describe it as follows: — 



"Harry Kirk is absolutely unique, a splendid Rose, of most 

 robust growth, with free-branching habit, flowering freely and 

 continuously; the blooms are large, full, with large smooth petals 

 of great substance, the form is perfect, the buds long and 

 elegant. Color deep sulphur-yellow, passing to a lighter shade 

 at the edges of the petals; much the best Rose of its color." In 

 addition to the above we would say that Dr. Huey, of Philadelphia, 

 has had several plants in his garden on trial during the past two 

 seasons. These plants have not only proven its free- flowering 

 character, but its hardiness as well, coming through the winters of 

 '06 and '07 without injury. The color, as we have seen it here, 

 is deeper than described by the introducers, having a shade of 

 saffron at the base of the petals, and, in our judgment, it is bv long 

 odds the the finest yellow everblooming Rose yet intro- 

 duced, a color much wanted. 



We offer a limited stock of strong two-year-old plants. $1.25 

 each.

New Yellow Tea Rose, Harry Kirk. 



12 Grand Hardy Everblooming Hybrid Tea Roses. 



This collection of Roses embraces the most popular of the Hybrid Tea type, several of them, varieties with which every lover of 

 Roses is familiar, and all of them thoroughly tested sorts which have been found most satisfactory for outdoor planting. The color- 

 plate opposite shows four of this collection. They were selected not because of any superiority, the entire set being first-class in 

 every way. 



They combine, in a large degree, the hardiness of the Hybrid Perpetual class with the free-flowering qualtities of the Tea Roses, 

 and withstand the winter with little or no protection. 



We especially recommend this collection of Roses to those who wish a supply of extra choice flowers for cutting throughout the 

 summer and fall months. 



Antoine Rivoire. An ideal bedding Rose of large size, ex- 

 quisite form and coloring, which is soft peach-flesh with 

 deeper shadings; the base of the petals yellow. 



Belle Siebrecht. A superb Rose of a brilliant pink color; 

 the flowers are large, of good form; buds long and tapering, 

 and a most prolific bloomer. 



Caroline Testout. Bright satiny-rose, with brighter centre, 

 full and globular; very free and sweet; one of the most valuable 

 Roses in the collection. 



Gruss an Teplitz. This, the reddest of all red Roses, is a 

 Rose for everybody, succeeding under the most ordinary con- 

 ditions. In color it is of the richest scarlet, shading to a 

 velvety-crimson as the flowers mature; it is of good size, very 

 fragrant, a free, strong grower, and a most profuse bloomer, 

 the mass of color produced being phenomenal; the foliage 

 is extremely beautiful, all the young growth being of a bronzy- 

 plum color. 



Killarney. Probably no Rose has ever taken such a prominent 

 place so quickly as Killarney. It is one of the most popular 

 of our garden Roses, and also one of the leading varieties lor 

 winter cut flowers. It is perfectly hardy in this latitude; in 

 growth it is strong and robust, and as free-flowering as any 

 Rose we know. In color it is a sparkling, brilliant, imperial 

 pink; the blooms are large, the buds long and pointed, the 

 petals very large and of gnat substance, and just as handsome 

 in (he full-blown flower as in the bud lonn. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. Soft pearly-white, tinted with 

 just enough lemon in the centre to relieve the white; remark- 

 ably fragrant, beautifully formed flowers on long, graceful 

 stems; a strong, free, healthy grower, with bold, handsome 

 foliage. 



La France. An old favorite, and probably the most popular 

 Rose the world over. A model garden Rose in every way; 

 flowers clear satiny-pink; large, very full and of perfect form. 



Mildred Grant. Blush-white, edge of petals when first open- 

 ing shaded with pink, the flowers are of large size and of great 

 substance, lasting in good condition a long time. A grand 

 Rose in every way. 



Mme. Jules (irolez. A beautiful satiny china-rose color, 

 very bright and attractive, flowers of large size, very double, 

 of good form and remarkably free-flowering; a distinct and 

 prettv Rose, which should be planted extensively. 



Richmond. A most valuable variety of brilliant crimson- 

 scarlet. Very free-flowering. 



Souvenir du President Carnot. A Rose that pleases 

 everybody; line in form, of large size and delicate in color; 

 a soft rose shading to white, buds long and borne on good 

 stiff stems. First-class in every way. 



ViCOUnteSS FolkstOne. A large, full flower of creamy- 

 pink, shading to deep salmon-pink at the centre; very Rorif-
