Baby Ramblers introduced this is the best.

arranged flowers of deep geranium-red

CHINA ROSES 
These are the Roses of our grandmother’s days, but on account of their sterling 
qualities they are still popular and are worthy of planting in any garden. The range of 
color is considerable, and their absolute hardiness, ease of culture, fragrance and adap- 
tability to adverse conditions make them popular and valuable varieties.

Clothilde Soupert. Pink. A strong, 
vigorous grower. The flowers are large, 
double and beautiful in form, in the style 
of the beautiful Rose, Ball of Snow. 
They are borne in sprays, and the color 
blends from a soft shell-pink to a pure, 
satiny white. Roses with both these col- 
ors are borne on the same plant at the same 
time. Uncqualed in flowering qualities. 
Duchesse de Brabant. Carmine. A 
bright China-rose, with coppery yellow 
center, ends of petals suffused with car- 
mine. A charmingly beautiful combina- 
tion of coloring, as each color blends nicely 
with the other. This variety ranks with 
the best and is a Rose of decided merit. 
Hermosa. Pink. An old favorite. It 
is always in bloom and alw'ays beautiful; 
the flowers are cupped, finely formed and 
full; color, the most pleasing shade of 
pink, soft but deep. 
Queen’s Scarlet. Red. A grand old 
bedding variety. It can be planted any- 
where; entirely hardy. Flowers large and 
fiery scarlet, a color seldom seen in Roses.

flesh-colored flowers are of large size, 
double to the center, and produced in 
abundance. 
I have never seen finer Roses than those you sent me. Wish I had made my whole 
order from you. Please keep my name for your annual catalogue. — T. L., Tyler, Texas. 
The shipment of Roses which I ordered from you a fortnight ago came to hand in good 
time, and, except the fact that it was short by one plant, was very satisfactory indeed. I 
have bought Roses from half a dozen firms, but have not received more promising plants 
anywhere. In fact, I am so well pleased with them that I have decided to repeat the order, 
and four fiiends, having seen the plants, are asking me to order the same collection for 
them. — E. E. R., Walla Walla, Wash. 
Box of Roses and plants received yesterday and they were in fine condition. 1 have 
been buying plants for the past 18 years and have purchased from north and west and I 
never had plants sent packed as well as those you sent me. — D r. E. M. K., Delta, Pa.
