Bessie Brown — This rose is considered one 
of the finest of the roses of late introduction, 
and is well worthy of the place it occupies 
among roses. It is of the Hybrid Tea class 
and will stand frost if slightly protected. 
Blooms are enormous size; of heavy substance 
and perfect shape, lasting splendidly when cut. 
The color is snow-white, faintly flushed and 
tinged with pink. A fine, strong free growing, 
producing long stems. 
Clothilde Soupert — Flowers are borne in 
large clusters all over the bush. They are 
large, perfectly full and double, and most de- 
liciously sweet. Color beautiful creamy white, 
splendidly tinged with amber, deepening at the 
center to a clear bright pink, and sometimes 
both red and white roses are borne on the 
same plants. Very vigorous bush. 
The Bride — This is decidedly the most beau- 
tiful white tea rose. It is a sport from Cather- 
ine Mermet with which it is identical in growth 
and shape of flowers. The flowers are very 
large and double, on stiff stems of fine texture 
and substance, and last a long time after being 
cut; makes one of the best varieties for cor- 
sage wear or bouquets. During extremely hot 
weather it becomes a pinkish white; at other 
times a beautiful pure white. 
White Cochet — The charming new white tea 
rose. Another new American rose. Its habit 
is exceedingly strong and upright, like its 
parent, Maman Cochet. It possesses the same 
large, beautiful, healthful foliage, and it is a 
most profuse and constant bloomer. The flow- 
ers are of enormous size, round and delicately 
tea-scented. It is without doubt the largest 
white rose, both in bud and flower. 
Snow-Flake — One of the most beautiful white 
roses I have ever grown. The flowers are not 
very large, but always open to perfection. A 
very quick-growing variety, and one that pro- 
duces a tremendous amount of flowers the year 
round. 
White La France — This rose is identical with 
La France, except in color, which is almost 
pure white. The shading in fawn it has only 
enhances its beauty. A grand rose. 
Climbers 
Climbing Helen Gould — Probably no red rose 
has held its place in the heart of rose lovers 
for so long a period as has the beautiful Helen 
Gould. We have now the pleasure in introduc- 
ing this famous rose in a climbing form. Every- 
one is familiar with this warm-watermelon red 
color of its charming flowers. This is a grand 
climber. 
Climbing Etoile de France — Brililant red, 
crimson velvet. Centering to vivid cerise. Iden- 
tical with Etoile de France, except in its vig- 
orous climbing habit. 
Climbing Clothilde Soupert — Rich, creamy 
white flowers, sometimes tinted with blush 
and borne in immense profusion. A fine hardy 
climbing rose that will bloom all the time. 
Climbing Kaiserin Augusta Victoria — Flowers 
same as the Kaiserin, which is too generally 
known to require description here. Stout canes, 
very quickly covers verandas, etc. Always in 
bloom. 
Climbing Meteor — Is of strong, vigorous habit 
of growth, producing in great profusion 
throughout the season magnificently formed 
buds and flowers, which in color are of a dark 
velvety crimson, the equal of any rose in cul- 
tivation, and possibly more glowing than its 
illustrious parent.
