 DE FRANCE

 upright bushes of a great sizt, pos--essiug but very few thorns. 

 Foliage of a handsome green bronzy color. Fine long bud, coming 

 singly and carried on stiff, erect stem. Flower very large, possess- 

 ing petals of very good substance; magnificent cupped form; very 

 full and expanding very freely. Superb crimson red-velvet,

ETOILE DE FRANCE 



The Queen of the Everblooming 

 Red Roses. The most free-blooming 

 and vigorous Red Rose ever intro- 

 duced. 



THE KILLARNEY ROSE 



This is a comparatively new Rose, and is not so well known as 

 it should be. It is a Hybrid Tea of unusual merit. A buyer for 

 one of the leading retail stores in New York City says : "As a Rose 

 it is the best selling flower in the city. " It is a grand Rose for either 

 indoor or outdoor cultivation; is a strong grower, and the blooms, 

 which are of a beautiful Testout pink, are borne in great profusion. 

 The buds are long and the keeping qualities of the flowers are ex- 

 ceptional ; even when fully expanded, the petals do not drop, but 

 remain intact for a week. Strong 2-year-old field-grown stock, 75c. 

 each, $6 per doz., $40 per 100. 



MAMAN COCHET ROSES 



(American-Grown, on Own Roots) 

 THE BEST OF ALL ROSES FOR SUMMER FLOWERING 

 AND CUTTING 



For outdoor or indoor flowering in the summer months they are 

 unsurpassed, and are the counterpart of the Bride and Bridesmaid, 

 which are still the leaders for winter flowering. They flower con- 

 tinuously the whole summer until frost. They are entirely free from 

 mildew. The flowers are of good substance and shape and are 

 borne on long stems. 



Maman Cochet (Pink). A heavy and constant bloomer ; color a 

 clear, rich pink changing to silvery lose; very double and fra- 

 grant, and as to size the largest perfect Tea Rose I am acquainted 

 with. The buds are long, firm and full, exquisitely molded and 

 pointed, and when open are ecjually attractive. 



Maman Cochet (White), A sport from the above valuable va- 

 riety, with all its characteristics as to flowering and foliage ; color 

 a beautiful snow-white, at times tinted with the faintest sugges- 

 tion of blush, the same as you often find in the Bride.

 Mr. Arthur T Boddington, New York Cily. 



Dear Sir : The Mamaii Cochet Roses I bought of you last spring have been 

 the wonder of the summer colony here, as I had Roses when there were no 

 others on the island. I have them now, out in the open ground. Cut yester- 

 day .^7 blooms from 100 plants Have cut from the 100 plants since July i over 

 2, .w Roses. I thinkthat is good. Everything I got from you gave good results 

 and will give you my orders for the coming year. 



Yours respectfully, T. HARRISON STILES,
