Comal Springs Nursery, Neiv Braunfels, Texas 
Jonkherr J. L. Mock — Although introduced 
only four years ago, this beautiful rose quickly 
found its place among our best bedding va- 
rieties. The flowers, which are produced in 
the greatest freedom on long, stiff stems, are 
of large size and perfect in form, of a deep 
imperial pink, the outside of the petals silvery 
rose -white; highly perfumed. 
Champion of the World — A perpetual bloom- 
er, summer and winter. The flowers, which 
are produced in the greatest profusion, are 
perfectly double and of perfect shape. They 
are of a deep rosy pink and delightfully frag- 
rant. 
Duchess of Albany — Red La France; very 
large; deep pink, full and highly perfumed. 
One of the finest, pink roses. 
F. R. Patzer — Free-flowering character; 
growth very robust and erect; with large and 
handsome foliage. The blooms are produced 
with great freedom. They are carried on long 
stiff stems. The color is creamy buff, back of 
petals warm pink; as it opens it changes to 
light orange pink. 
Killarney — No rose has attracted so much 
attention as Killarney. The color is brilliant 
sparkling pink. The flowers are extra large 
and full, with broad, thick petals and delight- 
ful tea fragrance. 
Wm. R. Smith — As a summer bedder this 
variety ranks above all others; produces im- 
mense quantities of fine flowers of creamy 
white with pink shading; strongest growing of 
all the summer bedders, making a fine branch- 
ing bush in one year’s time. Has fine, firm, 
glossy foliage; long flowering stems. 
La France — Perhaps no rose is more wide- 
ly known or more highly valued for a garden 
rose than La France. It is a hybrid Tea of 
very beautiful form and color; an early and 
constant bloomer, producing a wonderful pro- 
fusion of buds and flowers all through the 
growing season. It is exceedingly sweet and 
handsome, and altogether one of the loveliest 
and most desirable roses one can plant. The 
color is a delicate shade of peach blossom, 
changing to amber rose, elegantly tinged with 
crimson. 
Lady Ursula — A truly magnificent rose of 
vigorous erect growth; exceedingly free bloom- 
er the flowers produced on every shoot are 
large, full and of great substance in color; a 
delightful tone of flesh pink; delicately tea 
scented. 
Mme. Caroline Testout — A magnificent hy- 
brid Tea, of the very lovliest shade of pink. 
Maman Cochet — A magnificent pink rose of 
the Mermet type. The grandest of outdoor bed- 
ders in pink, making an enormous growth in 
one season. Color very bright, rose with shad- 
ing of yellow in center. 
Malmaison — This is certainly one of the 
choicest, and as a rose for general cultivation 
is unsurpassed. The color is a beautiful rich, 
creamy flesh, with a rose center; flowers very 
large, perfectly double and deliciously fragrant; 
a strictly first class rose in every respect. 
Marie Van Houtte— In the open ground it is 
truly magnificent. The flowers are extra large, 
very double and full and are deliciously 
scented. The color is a pale canary yellow, 
passing to a rich creamy white, shaded with 
rose. Grows strong and sturdily. 
Mrs. George Shawyer — Wonderfully free in 
bloom, profuse in production of good strong 
breaks, and of fine leathery foliage. Color, 
bright peach pink; buds long and well filled, 
carried on 3 to 4-foot stems a first favorite 
with a great many growers. We grow own root 
plants. 
Paul Neyron — Deep pink, very large and 
extra fine rose, and very free bloomer. A rose 
without thorns. 
President Taft— This is without question the 
most .remarkable of all pink roses. It has a 
shining intense deep pink color possessed by 
not other rose. It is a fine grower, free bloom 
er, good size and form, fragrant, and in a class 
by itself as to color. Mr. Frank Good, who is 
probably familiar with more roses than any 
man in America, says: ‘‘Talk all you want 
to about the rose President Taft, and then you 
will not say enough.” 
Radiance — A grand free-growing, big habited 
rose, with long stems and globular blooms of 
intense rose pink color; very fragrant. A fine 
summer variety and the finest of all the out- 
door pink bedding roses. Always in heavy 
demand. 
Wellesley — This grand rose (Liberty crossed 
with Bridesmaid) retains the form of Liberty 
with fullness of Bridesmaid, and in color is a 
beautiful shade of pink. The outside of the 
petals being bright and clear with a silvery 
reverse. It is very vigorous, healthy grower, 
carrying the flowers on long, stiff stems. It is 
free flowering and possesses fine keeping qual- 
ities. 
Yellow 
Alexander Hill Gray — The respect of all rose 
lovers warrants the issuing of a champion rose, 
and a tea at that, to pay due homage to one of 
the world’s greatest tea rose growers. It is 
wonderfully floriferous, every shoot being 
browned with a flower bud, which develops 
into a bloom of very large size, great substance 
and perfect formation, with high pointed center 
from which the petals gracefully reflex. The 
best and largest pure yellow tea rose yet intro- 
duced. Its color is a solid deep throughout, 
Marechal Neil-like lemon-yellow; strongly tea 
scented. 
Blumenschmidt — Pure citron yellow, outer 
petals edged, tender rose, a sport from Fran- 
cisca Krueger, which it resembles in form, but 
is more vigorous in growth. 
Souvenir de Pierre Notting — This is a beau- 
tiful rose, seedling of Marechal Niel and 
Maman Cochet, with beautiful closely-set 
foliage and strong, sturdy habit of growth. The 
bloom is very large, perfectly full, of elegant 
form, has a beautiful long bud. The colors are 
very bright, distinct and clear, and have no un- 
pleasant tones — orange yellow, bordered in car- 
mine rose.
