The Haskell Avenue Floral Co., Dallas, Texas 
Bud of Etoile do Lyon. 
GENERAL COLLECTION OF ROSES, continued 
Catherine Mermet, Buds very large and 
globular; petals recurved, showing to ad- 
vantage the lovely bright pink of the center, 
shading into light, creamy pink, reminding 
one of La France in its silvery shading. A 
strong grower and fine bloomer. 
Clothllde Soupert. Begins to bloom 
when but 3 or 4 inches high, and is 
never without bloom if kept healthy. 
The full, double flowers are produced 
in sprays of three or more and are of 
the finest imaginable form. The outer 
petals are pearl white, shading to a 
center of rosy pink, but vary some- 
times from pure white to silvery rose 
on the same plant. 
Crown Princess Victoria (White 
Malmaison). A sport from Souv. de 
la Malmaison, which it resembles very 
much in habit of growth and style of 
flower. The bud, which is slightly 
tinted yellow, opens out into a fine 
double pure white flower. Very fra- 
grant. 
Devonlensls (Magnolia Rose). 
Beautiful creamy white, with rose 
center; large, full and double; de- 
lightfully sweet Tea scent. An old 
and well-known Rose, that has never 
been surpassed. 
Duchesse de Brabant. Soft, rosy 
flesh, changing to deep rose ; very free 
in bloom, and valuable. 
Etoile de Lyon. One of the best 
and most beautiful yellow Tea Roses 
for general planting ; may be had in 
bloom the entire year by proper treat- 
ment. The flowers are of good size, 
deep, full, very sweet-scented, rich 
golden yellow. 
Colden Cate. The buds are long 
and pointed, opening out into well- 
shaped flowers of creamy white, deli- 
cately tinged with golden yellow and 
rose ; blooms continuously. 
Ceneral Robert E. Lee. Orange- 
yellow, after the style of Ma Capucine, 
but richer and better. It is a good 
grower, has elegant long buds, borne 
on long stems, and will produce more 
of them than any Rose we know. It 
forces easily, being at its best in mid- 
winter. The color is so peculiar and 
rich that it attracts attention where- 
ever seen. Try it. 
Crace Darling. Porcelain-rose, 
elegantly shaded with vinous crimson, 
a decided color, but never quite ob- 
scuring the ground of beautiful yellow 
upon which it rests. The colors seem 
to stand out separate and distinct. 
Very sweet. A veritable beauty. 
Hermosa. Always in bloom and 
always beautiful ; the color is a most 
pleasing shade of pink ; very fragrant. 
Isabella Sprunt. Bright canary- 
yellow ; large, beautiful buds ; very 
valuable for cut-flowers. 
Kalserln Augusta Victoria. A 
beautiful Rose, with elegant, large- 
pointed buds and very large, full double 
flowers; delicate creamy white ; deliciously 
fragrant. The plant is a strong, healthy 
grower and constant bloomer. The flowers 
are on strong, stiff stems, with rich, glossy 
foliage, making it one of the finest Roses for 
corsage wear or any use whatever. 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria.
