ANTOINE HI VOIRE- -This is the famous 
Mrs. Taft Rose of the fashionable east- 
ern markets. This Rose is in a class 
by itself; no Rose ever produced has 
such substance of petal; color creamy- 
white with rainbow tints; a beauty and 
a wonder. 
BESSIE BROWN — A Rose of transcend - 
ant beauty; of largest size; color pearl- 
white, with a delicate tinge of fawn. 
ETOILiE DE FRANCE — For the best red 
garden Rose it lies between this one, 
Rhea Reid and Helen Gould. Some say 
one and some say the other. 
ETOILE DE LYON— Still the best large 
golden-yellow Rose. 
HELEN GOULD— A rich red Rose that 
is a great bloomer; the shade of red has 
been described best as a watermelon 
red ; elegant. 
KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA— A 
grand white garden Rose that has stood 
the test of time. Full and double; fine 
buds and flowers. 
LA FRANCE — This is claimed by many 
to be the queen of all the Roses; bright 
silvery-pink. 
SOUVENIR DE PRES. CARNOT— A 
grand Rose of the largest size; color 
a delicate fawn or salmon; extra fine. 
NEW POLYANTHA, OR 
BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN— Its flowers 
are large, so much like Tausendschoen 
(hat it has been rechristened “Baby 
Tausendschoen.” It is a bush form of 
the “Climbing Tausendschoen,” or 
“Thousand Beauties,” having all the 
charm in the variable coloring in its 
flowers that its parent has, being firm 
white, delicately flushed pink, chang- 
ing to deep rosy-carmine. This is a 
splendid Rose. Try it. 15 cents; two- 
year plants, 40 cents. 
DEWDROP — Cherry-red; lasts a long 
time, grows easy. A very double Rose. 
15 cents. 
GEORGE ELGER — A lovely little gold- 
en-yellow Polyantha Rose, with a good 
admixture of Tea blood; like all of its 
class, it is free in growth, free in bloom 
with small, glossy foliage produced in 
profusion. The dainty little pointed 
yellow buds open into pretty little sym- 
metrical Roses. 15 cents; two-year 
plants, 40 cents. 
MAMAN TURBAT — Branching growth, 
large, full flowers, produced in large 
the garden were ever offered than this 
cents each; any four for 50 cents; two- 
MAMAN COCIIET (The Queen of All 
Garden Roses) — Such beauty and ex- 
quisite form as is possessed by this 
variety is well-nigh marvelous, and can- 
not be seen in any other Rose we know 
of. The buds are beautiful, large, full 
and firm and elegantly pointed; as they 
expand they show great depth and 
richness, sometimes measuring two and 
a half inches from base to tip. Flowers 
superb when open, extra large, perfectly 
double and of splendid substance. Small 
pot plants will in the open ground 
quickly make large, strong bushes and 
produce, on long, stiff stems, great 
numbers of perfect flowers that are en- 
chanting in fragrance and delicate 
brightness. The color is rich, clear 
pink, changing to a silvery-rose. 
WHITE MAMAN COCHET (No Finer 
Rose Than This) — The color is a pure 
snow-white. Sometimes outdoors it is 
tinged pink, which only adds to its 
great beauty. No Rose surpasses it in 
vigorous growth and in the immense 
size of its buds and flowers; indeed, 
nothing in the Tea family approaches it 
in size. Deliciously fragrant. 
WM. R. SMITH — This Rose has several 
names, such as Charles Dingee, Jeanette 
Heller, Malden’s Blush, etc. Color deli- 
cate blush. It has no superior as a 
garden Rose. 
BABY RAMBLER ROSES 
panicles of twenty to thirty flowers. 
Color clear peach-pink, one of the best 
in this section. 15 cents. 
ORLEANS — The showiest and prettiest 
of all the Baby Ramblers. This charm- 
ing and dainty Rose is of beautiful 
rounded habit and is a huge bouquet 
of deep cerise or Geranium-pink, with 
distinct showy center of pure white; 
florets not crowded but of beautiful ar- 
rangement, making as a whole a charm- 
ing combination. The color is irresisti- 
ble. The plant grows like a weed and 
the flowers are nearly “immortelle” in 
their lasting qualities. 15 cents; two- 
year plants, 40 cents. 
TIP TOP (“Baby Doll”)— This delight- 
ful little “Sweetheart” Rose is a won- 
der. The color is absolutely new, and 
quite startling in its brilliancy, gold 
en-yellow tipped with clear, bright 
cerise. The foliage is narrow, long 
and sharply pointed, a deep glossy 
green — a very beautiful setting for the 
lovely little doll-roses. 25 cents.
