A 



New Hyurid-Tea Rose, Lady Forteviot. See page 124 



Los Angeles. The long-stemmed flowers are of a luminous 

 flame-pink, toned with coral, and shaded with translucent gold 

 at the base of the petals. The buds are long and pointed and 

 expand to flowers of absolutely perfect form and of rich fra- 

 grance. 



Louise Catherine Breslau. Entirely distinct from all other 

 Roses in color; a superb coral pink shaded coppery-orange and 

 chrome yellow, large full flowers. 



Lulu. A dainty nearly single Rose, with long buds which remind 

 one of the miniature Fairy Rose Cecile Brunner, but much 

 larger in size, color coral red, shaded with salmon-pink. Beauti- 

 ful in bud form. 



Margaret McGredy. See page 133. 



Miss Rowena Thorn. See page 132. 



Mme. Butterfly. See page 132. 



Mme. Edouard Herriot. See page 132. 



Mme. Jules Bouche. See page 132. 



Mme. Leon Pain. Entirely distinct in color, a silvery-salmon, 

 with deeper orange-yellow shaded centre, the reverse of the 

 petals being a salmony-pink; very free. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. A remarkably floriferous variety of 

 strong, vigorous, but compact growth: the fragrant 

 flowers, full double; in color a distinct Indian-yellow, 

 shading lighter towards the edges. 



Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. We have in this variety a 

 most distinct and valuable bright but soft sparkling 



; carmine-pink of even tone that passes to yellow at the 

 base of the petals. The bud is long pointed and develops 

 into a full double flower of model form; very fragrant. 



Mrs. Arthur Robert Waddell. An attractive variety of 

 distinct color, that everyone likes, a delicate, soft, rosy- 

 salmon, suffused with a golden sheen; a free-flowering garden 

 variety that should be in every collection. 



Mrs. Beatty. An exquisite self-colored light lemon-yellow with 

 the delightful perfume of the old favorite Marechal Niel. 



Mrs. Charles Bell. Similar in habit to Radiance with splendid 

 buds and flowers of fine globular form, of a lovely shell-pink 

 color with salmon shadings, sweetly scented. 



Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom. See page 132. 



Mrs. Henry Bowles. See page 132 



Mrs. John Bell. See page 133. 



Mrs. Henry Morse. One of the best light pink varieties. 

 Color two contrasting tones of pink with an underlying yellow 

 glow, flowers large, full and very high pointed, fragrant and very 

 free flowering. 



Mrs. Lovell Swisher. A remarkably vigorous grower of 

 branching habit, freely producing perfectly formed long shapely 

 buds that develop into good double flowers. The color is a 

 deep coppery salmon at base merging to salmon-pink at the tips. 

 Mrs. Redford. Bright apricot-orange one of the most lovely 

 of this tone of color, an upright grower with holly-like mil- 

 dew-proof foliage. The flowers are perfect in form, very free 

 blooming. 



Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller. As a pink bedding Rose 

 there is none better. The flowers are of large size, remain 

 perfect for a long time, and are produced very freely; they 

 are of a bright pink color with lighter shadings. 

 Mrs. William C. Egan. A vigorous strong healthy grower, 

 with long, pointed buds of absolutely perfect form, that develop 

 into flowers of good shape. In color it is a two-tone pink, the 

 reverse of the petals a soft light pink, the interior deep flesh color. 

 Norman Lambert. A distinct color combination. The outside 

 of the petals is a deep chrome-yellow with a marginal color 

 effect of brilliant orange-scarlet merging to an irregular zone of 

 burnt orange, the inside salmon-orange suffused bronze, shading 

 to yellow at the base, delightfully fragrant and free-flowering. 

 A splendid bedder. 

 Ophelia. A variety which has made such a record for itself that 

 qualifies it to be classed with the very best; a Rose that is ad- 

 mired by everyone; its flowers are held erect on long stiff stems, 

 are of perfect form, good size, and of a most pleasing delicate 

 tint of salmon-flesh, shaded with rose, very floriferous. 

 Padre. Most attractive and novel in coloring, with long petals 

 of a coppery scarlet flushed with yellow at the base. Growth 

 strong and upright and exceedingly free-flowering. 

 Patience. Splendid long pointed buds of a deep scarlet carmine 

 opening to large fragrant double perfect blooms that shade 

 from orange at the base of the petals to rich carmine at the 

 edges. It is of strong robust habit and extremely free flowering 

 for a Rose of its size. 

 Pink Pearl. In color a brilliant rich cerise pink the base of the 

 petals touched with gold. The flowers are full double, of perfect 

 form, delightfully sweet-scented and produced profusely.
