Mme. Butterfly — Hill’s glorified sports of 
Ophelia, seen and admired by hundreds of vis- 
itors. 
The verdict has been that it is of freer 
growth than the parent. All the color tones of 
Ophelia are intensified, making it a harmony 
of bright pink, apricot and gold. 
It averages more petals to the bloom. It 
produces more blooms to the plant, because it 
makes more branches, everyone carrying a bud 
consequently requires fewer plants to fill the 
bench. 
The tight buds are a lovely shade of Indian 
red, yellow at the base. They are unique for 
corsage and for low table decorations. The 
opening flowers are perfect in form and tex- 
ture, clear and brilliant in color, and of de- 
licious fragrance. 
The longest stemmed products are of a size 
and texture not often seen in Ophelia. Strong 
plants, $1.00 each. 
Crimson and Red 
Baby Rambler (Mme. Levasseur) — This rose 
is so well known as hardly to need a word of 
description. It is a dwarf form of Crimson 
Rambler, which produces flowers absolutely 
continuously. Invaluable either for pots or for 
outside bedding. 
Etoile de France (Hybrid Tea) — The gold 
medal rose of Prance, and claimed by the 
raiser, J. Pernet Ducher, to be the finest rose 
he has ever sent out. A very strong, vigorous 
grower, with handsome green-bronze foliage 
and exceedingly free flowering. The flowers 
are very large and borne on long, stiff stems. 
Color, a clear red crimson velvet. Very frag- 
rant and keeps well. Without any exaggera- 
tion, we may assert that Etoile de France will 
be appreciated by all lovers of the queen of 
flowers. 
Balduin — A new hybrid Tea rose. About the 
best crimson outdoor bedding rose we now 
have. It is very strong growing and healthy, 
and produces very large and double roses of 
a glowing carmine color, which are as sweet as 
a June rose. 
Madam Charles Wood — A true perpetual 
bloomer. The flowers are extra large, very 
double and full and quite fragrant. Color is 
bright, fiery scarlet, passing to a fine easy 
crimson, elegantly shaded with maroon. 
Mad. Mason — It is entirely hardy, blooming 
nearly all the time, bearing numbers of large, 
full double flowers of unusual beauty and won- 
derful fragrance. Clear, bright rose. Distinct 
and charming, a great rose. 
General McArthur — A grand, new, everbloom- 
ing crimson scarlet rose. In all the rose family 
we know of nothing that can compare with 
this in dazzling color, fragrance of flower and 
profusion of bloom. Is as fragant as a rose 
can be, has good sized flowers, blooms con- 
tinuously the whole season through, and gives 
fine stems for cutting. It makes a strong, 
stately plant that may be depended upon for 
strong flower shoots. 
Gruss an Teplitz — We unhesitatingly say that 
for bedding no rose we offer will compare with 
Gruss an Teplitz. It is a perfect sheet of 
rich crimson all summer. When we say that 
we know of no rose that has such bright colors
