HYBRID TEA AND OTHER ROSES 



The Grand New Rose, Etoile 

 De France 



Very vigorous in growth and of robust constitution, forming up" 

 right bushes of a great size, possessing 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, possessing pet- 

 als of very good substance; magnificent cupped form; very full 

 and expanding very freely. Superb crimson-red velvet, the center 



of the bloom vivid 

 cerise red. The flow- 

 ers are very fragrant 

 are last very long. 

 This new variety is 

 the result of a cross 

 bet ween Madame 

 Abel Chatenay and 

 Fisher Hohues. 



Etoile de France 

 will prove a grand ad- 

 dition to the class of the Hybrid Tea Roses, because it answers to 

 many real wants. For bedding and massing it will be much appre- 

 ciated. For cut flower purposes it will prove a very good variety on 

 account of its color and free-blooming qualities. Field-grown strong 

 2-year-old plants, 35 cts. each, 54 per doz., $30 per 100. 



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 comparativel}- 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, 35 

 cts. each, $4 per doz., $30 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 

 mild-w. 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 rose ; 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 equally 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. 



25 cts. each, S2 for 10, $18 per 100

(Grafted on Rosa Canina or Rugosa Stock) 



Large, well-grown, selected plants in the best and most service- 

 able varieties. $1 each, $4 for 5, $y for 10, $50 per 100.
