Special List of Ever-Blooming Roses — Concluded 
. pNCLE JOHN 
Sport from Golden Gate; all the shades are deeper 
than those of the parent. A very pleasing; constant 
blooming Rose; pretty buft-yellow flowers shading to 
white and pink; large, full and fragrant; a strong 
bushy grower, splendid for garden planting. 
SOUV. DE PRESIDENT CARNOT 
(Hybrid Tea.) 
With all our admiration for the hosts of beautiful 
Roses, this variety is so fascinating that we believe it 
to be, everything considered, one of the greatest intro- 
ductions of the last ten years. It is superb in every 
way. The dowers are large, full and double, exquisitely 
shaped, with heavy, thick, shell-like petals. The buds 
are wonderfully beautiful— long and pointed like 
Nlphetos— pcrfecticn in every line. The color is a 
new. delicate rosy-blush, shaded a trifle deeper at 
center of flower. Fragrance delicious. Strong grower 
and free bloomer. Has no weak point. 
SOUV. DE. PIERRE NOTTING 
This beautiful now Tea Rose is an introduction of 
one of the foremost firms of France, and has not been 
exceeded in merit by any Rose yet sent out from that 
country. It is the result of a cross of Marechal Niel 
on Alaman Cochet. Blooms very large, tvell filled and 
open easily; beautiful elongated bud. Color apricot- 
yellow tinged with golden; mixed with orange-yellow; 
edge of petals shaded beautiful carmine-rose; open 
flower is full and double and of good substance. Ex- 
tremely free and one of the most beautiful blooms 
grown. Might easily be called a “Cochet,” but not so 
hardy. 
GENERAL McARTHUR 
A new Hybrid Tea Rose. One of the brightest vivid 
crimson-scarlet Roses In existence. Of free branching 
habit of growth; very vigorous and healthy. Every 
shoot produces a large, double, well-formed flower, 
which, combined with its fragrance and hardiness, 
makes this essentially one of the greatest red Roses 
for outdoor planting. The more we grow this Rose the 
better we like it. The fragrance cannot be excelled by 
any Rose in existence. It is very strong, yet delicate 
and entirely distinct, being different from any other 
Rose. 
MARIGOLD 
Beautiful yellow Tea Rose, with dark leathery foli- 
age, resembles Kalserin in growth and bloom — a better 
Rose than Perle von Godesburg, which it resembles. 
PERLE VON GODESBERG 
(Hybrid Tea.) 
Sent out from Germany as a yellow Kalserin Au- 
gusta Victoria, but with us has failed to prove a true 
yellow. It is a splendid Rose, however, and well 
worthy of a trial. The color is rich canary-yellow, 
with light saffron shadings.

PINK MAMAN COCHET 
(Tea.) The Queen of All Pink Garden Roses. 
Such beauty and exquisite form a.s is possessed by 
this variety is well nigh marvelous, and cannot be 
seen in any other Rose we know. The buds arc beau- 
tiful; large, full and firm and elegantly pointed; a.s 
they expand they show great depth and richness; 
sometimes measuring tw’o and one-half inches from 
base to tip. Flowers superb when open, extra large, 
perfectly double and of splendil 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 enchanting in 
fragrance and delicate brightness. Perfectly hardy in 
all sections of the country. The color is clear, rich 
pink, changing to silvery-rose. As we see it one good 
Ro.so like any of the Cochet Roses is worth a whole 
collection of poor ones — at any price. 
WHITE MAMAN COCHET 
Or Priscilla — The Charming New White Tea Rose. 
Another new American Rose. It belongs to the Tea 
class, being a child of that grandest of bedding or out- 
door Roses, Maman Cochet, and is hardy in northern 
Ohio, with slight protection in winter. Its habit is ex- 
ceedingly strong and upright, like its parent, and it 
possesses the same large, beautiful healthy foliage and 
is a most profuse and constant bloomer. The flowers 
are of enormous size, remarkably round and full; pure, 
clear, snowy-white throughout, and arc delightfully 
tea-.scented. It is by far the finest and most reliable 
white bedding Rose yet produced. Anyone can have 
the very finest Roses for cutting all summer and 
autumn by planting a tew plants of it. It is, without 
doubt, the largest white Rose, both in bud and flower. 
Three-year-old, extra size, 50 cents each. 
TRIOMPHE DE PERNET PERE 
(Hybrid Tea.) 
The llowers are extra large, having broad, thick 
petals, and long, tapering buds, with delicious tea fra-- 
grance. Color a fine, clear magenta-red, sometimes 
passing to a bright crimson. Striking and beautiful, 
BON SILENE 
A Grand Old Tea Rose. 
It is superb in every way. Perhaps the most noted 
feature is the immense size and beauty of its buds, 
which cannot be surpassed for bouquets and decora- 
tive purposes. The color is deep rose, sometimes 
bright, rosy-crimson, occa.sionally pale light ro.se. 
ADMIRAL SCHLEY 
A new and very beautiful Hybrid Tea Rose; color 
rich glowing velvety-scarlet, finely shaded with violet- 
crimson; very bright and handsome. Makes elegant 
buds and splendid largi full flowers; delightfully sweet. 
The bush is a clean, healthy grower with bright green 
foliage, and blooms abundantly all through the season. 
WHITE LA FRANCE 
(Hybrid Tea.) 
(Augustine Guinoisseau.) Here we have a beauty in- 
deed, one we recommend to all, whether for outdoor 
culture or for pots in the house in winter. If you were 
to ask us to select six of the very finest Roses for you, 
we would be sure to include it in the six. Do you 
know Da France? If so, you know this elegant new 
Rose. It is identical with I.a France, except the color. 
It is pearly-white, sometimes tinted with fawn. 
CATHERINE MERMET 
(Tea.) 
A be.autiful, clear, rich color, with the same silvery 
luster seen in I.a France. Darge. well-formed; very 
beautiful in bud. One of the most popular Roses for 
cut flowers. 
HELEN GAMBIER 
(Hybrid Tea.) 
T'l^ep orange-yellow shading to coppery -yellow and 
then to almost white on the outside row of petals. 
Fragrance as strong and penetrating as a Sweetbrlar. 
A very distinct and beautiful Rose.

Mr, W. R Gray. 
Dear Sir:- -I hereby acknowledge with thanks the 
receipt by mall sometime since of the plants I ordered 
from you. I wish I had dealt with you before. The 
Wonder Demons at 10 cents each are far ahead of two 
I bought two years ago at 16 cents and 20 cents re- 
spectively, and look fine in the open ground today. 
The Roses — well. I have previously bought largely 
(mailing size) of many large growers, but yours arc 
a long way ahead — splendid, strong specimens. I like 
the selection too (as named). I have shown them and 
your catalogue to a number of my friends and you will 
surely get so.m" orders from them next season, if not 
before. You see, our season is now well advanced, a 
good deal ahead of yours. Thanks, too, for the five 
Chrysanthemums; they were unexpected and are look- 
ing well. Yours truly, H. W. G. 
P. S. — My next order will go to you without hesita- 
tion. I would like larger plants, but express charges 
between such distant points are too high H W G
