NEW ROSES— Concluded 
Wm. R. Smith. 
New Hardy Ever-blooming Rose 
WM. E. SMITH 
This Rose has many names, being called by one 
grower Chas. Dingee, by anotiier Jeanette Heller, and 
by others Malden’s Blush. It is an American-raised, 
pedigree seedling. It inherits hardiness, constitution, 
fine h.abit, grand foliage and superb flowers. Where 
there are so many good qualities it is difficult to em- 
phasize the leading one, but in this variety we would 
name its ability to resist disease. The color is a deep 
ivory-white overlaid with a good, bright shade of pink. 
As a summer Rose we predict it w'ill rank with the 
best if not actually surpass them. It is a seedling of 
Pink Cochet crossed with Kalserln. Has the hardiness 
of Kalserin, the blooming qualities of both parents, and 
is the strongest and most rampant grower of any ever- 
blooming Rose known. Price, 15 cents; three-inch, 25 
cents; two-year, 40 cents. 
MAGNATRANO 
Magna Charta, a splendid Hybrid Perpetual Rose, 
crossed with Safrano, one of tlie most desirable Tea 
Roses, resulted in this beautiful Hybrid Tea Rose. It 
is a strong, upright grower and a constant and profuse 
bloomer with extra large flowers, full, deep and double, 
and deliciously tea scented. The color is bright, deep, 
shining rose, rich and handsome. Price, 10 cents; 
three- inch. 15 cents; two-year, 25 cents. 
J. B. CLARKE 
(H. P.I Without doubt the largest Rose ever grown. 
The growth is strong and upright, very vigorous, mak- 
ing a large, handsome bush; the foliage is broad and 
stout; bronzy-green in the young state, changing to 
dark green. The blooms are very large and beautifully 
formed; the petals, which are very smooth, are of 
great size and depth; flower very full and long, with 
high pointed center, eolor unique, being intense searlet 
shaded crimson-maroon, very dark and rich, strongly 
fragrant. Awarded gold medal of the National Rose 
Society. Seven and one-half inches in diameter by five 
inches deep. Many who saw this Rose at Dickson’s 
were so impressed with its great beauty and worth that 
they bought plants and carried tliem on the steamers, 
taking care of them on the journey over, doing this so 
as to be sure not to lose them. Dickson classes this 
Rose as a Hybrid Tea; we class it as a Hybrid Per- 
petual. Price, 15c; three-inch, 25c; two-year, 40c. 
KILLARNEY 
A phenomenal new Hybrid Tea Rose, especially as 
to the coloring, which is an exquisite shade of deep 
shell-pink, while the flowers in size are nothing short 
of enormous, the petals frequently measuring two and 
one-half inches deep. Wonderfully strong in habit of 
growth, throwing up heavy shoots crowned with long, 
heavy buds. It has created a sensation wherever seen. 
Free flowering and perfectly li.ardy. Price, 10 cents; 
three-inc|i, 15 cents; two-year, 25 cents. 
FRAU KARL DEUSCHKI 
Called by Some White Am. Beauty. 
This new liardy Rose is of German origin, and has 
won many prizes and made many friends. It is un- 
questionably the Ideal Hardy White Rose. Its flowers, 
which are very large, are perfect in form and snow- 
white in color, with large shell-shaped petals, forming 
a beautiful flower. The plant is a strong, vigorous, 
healthy grower and remarkably free-flowering. Price, 
15 cents; three-inch, 25 cents; two-year, 40 cents. 
RICHMOND 
This new Hybrid Tea Rose is one of the most valu- 
able Introductions of recent years, and reflects great 
credit on the diligent work of American hybridizers. 
It is as free blooming a.s Bridesmaid or Golden Gate, 
and its scarlet-crimson flowers are borne on fine long 
stems, which makes it specially valuable for cutting 
purposes. It is a strong competitor of Liberty and 
Meteor for forcing. We recommend it as a sterling 
novelty of unusual merit. Price, 10 cents; three-inch, 
15 cents; two-year, 25 cents. 
BLUMENSCHMIDT (Tea) 
This fine new Rose is a sport from Mile. Franzisca 
Kruger, which it resembles in growth and form. Color 
deep golden-yellow, of the ricliest and purest shade. 
After giving this Rose a thorough trial, we have no 
hesitancy in saying that it is without question the very 
best yellow Rose for garden culture. Where Roses are 
grown in the open during the summer for cut flowers 
this Rose should be planted, as it ranks with Wm. R. 
Smith, Helen Good. Souv. de Pres. Carnot and the 
White and Pink Cochets. It is a wonderful yellow 
Rose, winner of three first premiums. You make no 
mistake to plant it. Price, 15 cents; three-inch, 25 
cents; two-year. 40 cents.
