"Rosa QUKKN OF Edgbly 

 OR " I'INK AMBRIOAN 



Beauty." 



IN'ew Forcing Rose, Queen of Xldgely 

 or Pink American Beanty. 



This famous new rose onginated four years ago as a sport of 

 •the American Beauty, and has been under careful observation 

 and cultivation since 1897. The rose is an exact counterpart of 

 the American Beauty in every particular except that of color. 

 It has the same vigorous growth and beautiful foliage of the parent 

 plant. Its fragrance is delicious and closely resembles that of 

 the out-door June roses. In color it is a bright pink, approach- 

 ing Mme. Caroline Testout and Bridesmaid ; and an excellent 

 point is that, as the rose grows older, it fades to a lovely shade 

 •of light pink. The flowers are large and deep, cup-shaped and 

 full, averaging five inches when full blown (some reaching seven 

 inches in diameter), and are borne on stems often six feet 

 long, foliaged to the very flower. Its keeping qualities are excel- 

 lent, the flowers holding for a week or longer after being cut. 



Strong young plants from 2 -inch pots, ready early in 

 April, gg ooperdoz. ; 50 for ^25. 00; 100 forg40.oo. (Prices 

 ■for large lots on application. ) 



New Forcing Rose, Robert Scott. 



A seedling from Merveille de Lyon, crossed with Belle Sie- 

 ibrecht, retaining the size, form, color and growth of the 

 Hybrid Perpetual, with the everblooming qualities of the Tea 

 Rose. 



The habit of growth is strong and vigorous ; it retains the 

 handsome foliage of the Hybrid Perpetual which clothes the 

 stout stems close up to the flower. These are of large size of a 

 •clear, rosy pink, shading to flesh color on the outer petals, not 

 unlike Baroness Rothschild, which it also closely resembles in 

 fonn, as beautiful when fully expanded as in the bud form ; a 

 welcome addition to our list of forcing roses. Prices for strong 

 plants, 2^ -inch pots, ready early in April.

Forcing Rose, liiberty. 



Undoubtedly the finest crim.son rose of modem times, and a 

 ^and addition to the Hybrid Tea class. It is of a bright crim- 

 son .scarlet and surpasses its rival, the well-known Meteor, in 

 abundance of bloom, size and color, without the slightest ten- 

 ■dency of the petals to blacken, which is so characteristic of this 

 variety, and, most of all, by its exquisite fragrance, a (juantity 

 :altogether lacking in Meteor. We offer fine 2j4f-inch pot-plants, 

 Own roots, ready now, $2 00 per doz.; $1^ 00 per 100 

 Grafted, ready in Ajml, 3 50 " 25 00 " 



New Bedding Rose, Grnss an Teplitz. 



The Crimson Hermosa." 



For the amateur who has no greenhouse and who depends 

 upon his garden for flowers, this is one of the most important 

 varieties introduced for a great number of years. It is a ro.se for 

 everybody, succeeding under the most ordinary conditions, and 

 in this respect will take rank with .such old-time favorites as 

 Hermosa, Souv. de la Malmaison and Clothilda Soupert. In 

 color it is scarlet, shading to velvety crimson, of larger size than 

 Hermosa, very fragrant, and a free, strong grower. It is the 

 most profuse bloomer known to us, the mass of color produced 

 is really wonderful, and the foliage is extremely beautiful, all the 

 younger growth being of a bronzy plum color ; a queen among 

 scarlet bedders. 



2^-inch pots, 75 cents per dozen ; $6.00 per 100. Strong 

 budded field-grown plants, 25 cents each ; $2.50 per dozen. 



New Tea Rose, Snnrise. 



The most gorgeous rose of its class yet introduced. This has 

 made a sensation in England and taken first honors wherever 

 shown. In close bud form it shows the high, brilliant colors, 

 seen only in the "Austrian-Copper," scarlet and yellow. As it 

 opens, the color deepens, the scarlet turning darker red, the 

 yellow to orange and copper, the inside of the petal, golden 

 yellow. The open rose is large, perfectly double and of grand 

 form. The foliage is glos.sy and thick, the new growths being 

 the darkest and most beautiful found among roses. The form 

 and color of bud, its freedom of growth and bloom, will give 

 Sunrise a high place among forcing roses. 



Ready March 1st. 35 cents each ; ^3.50 per dozen ; $25.00 

 per 100. 



New Rambler Rose, Psyche. 



Received the award of merit of the Royal Horticultural 

 Society of England. A cross between Crimson Rambler and 

 the Polyantha rose (iolden Fairy. In growth and habit it much 

 resembles the Rambler. The flowers are produced in clusters of 

 8 to 35, and are 2 to 2 V^ inches across when fully expanded. 

 The color is white, suflused with salmon-rose and pink, with 

 yellow base to the petals. A real companion to Crimson 

 Rambler.
