Roses 



Hybrid Tea, or Everblooming: Roses are becomiiii? more popular every year, while not so hardy as the perpetuals, with sh'ght protection 

 in winter, they carrv over iti splencHd shape and give a wealth of bloom all through the summer months and late in the fall till frost checks 

 them. Those offered below are the best and most popular varieties. 



The Grand New Rose Lyon. 



Origin ated 

 by the raiser 



of Etoile de France. Perpetual flowering. A very vig- 

 orous grower of slight spreading habit of growth. The 

 tlowers are generally produced singly though two or 

 three occasionally come on the same shoot. The buds 

 are of large size and long, round shaped, coral red in 

 color, strongly tinted with middle chrome-yellow at 

 the base. The blooms are very large with broad petals, 

 full and globular in form ; superb coloring shrimp-pink 

 at the ends of the petals, center coral-red or salmon- 

 pink shaded with chrome-yellow, thus making a most 

 charming and happy contrast of colors. Strong, 2 year- 

 old, field-grown, $i each, S4.50 for bundle of 5, $8 for 10. 



Rose, Etoile De France, ^'"e long bud com- 



' mg smgly and car- 



ried on stiff, erect stem. Flower very large, possess- 

 ing petals of very good substance; magnificent cupped 

 form; very full and e.vpanding very freely. Superb 

 crimson-red velvet, the center of the bloom vivid 

 cerise-red. The flowers are very fragrant and last 

 very long. The Queen of the Everblooming Ked Koses. 

 The most free-blooming and vigorous Red Rose ever 

 introduced. Etoile de France will prove a grand addi- 

 tion to the class of the Hybrid Tea Roses, because it 

 answers to many real wants. For bedding and mass- 

 ing it will be much appreciated. For cut-flower pur- 

 poses 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, ^l.^o for bundle 

 of 5, $25 per 100. 



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 un- 

 usual 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 Tes- 

 tout 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. Si. 50 for bundle of 

 5, S25 per 100. 



The best of all Roses 

 for summer-flowering 



Maman Cochet Roses. 



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 en- 

 tirely free from mildew. The flowers are of good sub- 

 stance 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 fragrant. The buds are long, 

 firm and full, exquisitely molded and pointed, and when open are 

 eciually 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 tlic faintest sugges- 

 tion of blush, the same as is often found in the " Bride."
