Duchess of Wellington. at first 
an intense saffron yellow, stained with crimson, which, 
as the flowers develop, changes to a deep coppery 
yellow. Old gold would better 
describe it; it is a particular shade 
of color not seen in other roses, 
one that is quite unique and will 
attract instant attention in any 
collection. When a number are 
massed together there is no rose 
that can equal it in decorative 
effect. The blooms are semi- 
double, resembling Killarney in 
shape, but the individual petals 
are larger and the rose is of the very 
largest size and delightfully fragrant. 
The plant is sturdy, stocky and a very 
strong grower. It is one of the roses that 
you cannot do without. Price, 1-year mail- 
ing size, 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 50 cts.; 
extra 3-year plants, 65 cts.

White Killarney. ”‘”,Tuhf 
good points of, and is identical in every way 
with, its parent, except in color, which is of a 
clear white. Its parent, Killarney, though 
introduced only ten years ago, has for several 
years been one of the most popular Roses. 
White Killarney has great freedom of bloom, 
beautiful form, and perfect hardiness, which 
together with its purity of color, assures for it 
the same popularity. In naming a select list 
of leaders for general planting, I should certainly 
include White Killarney, because I know its 
merits so well. Price, strong mailing size, 15 
cts.; 2-year plants, 50 cts.; 3-year, 65 cts. 
White La France. Recommended to all. 
whether for outdoor culture or for pots in the 
house in winter. If you were to ask for six 
of the very finest Roses, I should be sure 
to include it in the six. It is identical with 
La Prance, except in color. It is pearly white, 
sometimes tinted with fawn. Price, mailing 
size, 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 40 cts. 
Frances Scott Key, H. T., New. This 
is another one of John Cook’s splendid pro- 
ductions, and has the appearance of being one 
of the best bright red garden roses ever intro- 
duced; in appearance it is much like Helen 
Gould but larger, and instead of the dull red 
of that rose is a brilliant scarlet. Price, 1-year 
plants, 30 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 50 cts.; 
3-year plants, 75 cts.
