We Grow Plants fop the Southern Planter 
7 
ROSES % 1,000,000 
Unboastingly we wish to say that we are the largest growers of the Queen of Flowers in 
the South, and our output for 1902 will be fully 1,000,000 plants. We grow the cream of the 
many sorts, and catalogue nothing but sorts that are distinct and worthy of culture by 
southern planters. Ten acres of rich, black land gives us the best facilities for testing all of 
the new sorts, and as they appear from time to time in our lists our patrons may purchase 
them with confidence, as we test them all before we send them out. We have many new 
importations now under cultivation that will be offered another season if found to be of true 
merit. So many of the so-called new plants turn out to be old sorts under a new name, or 
otherwise worthless, that we test them thoroughly, and for this reason you must not think 
we are not up to date if you find we do not list every novelty offered by other houses. You 
can rely on every plant we send out being true to name and description.

American Beauty. One of the grandest 
of all Roses. No red Rose is more popular 
and no yard is complete without one or more 
of these beautiful Roses. If you have room 
for only one Rose let it be this one. 
Agrippina. Rich, velvety crimson; a 
grand bedder. 
Bride. A pure white Rose of 
perfect form and fine size. The 
buds are long and pointed, the flower 
opens up beautiful and full ; delight- 
fully scented. The most popular 
white Tea Rose. 
Bridesmaid. The most popular 
pink Tea Rose. Thousands of this 
variety are grown every year for cut- 
flowers ; also very desirable for sum- 
mer bedding outdoors. It is a de- 
lightful shade of bright pink, very 
free-flowering and easily grown. 
Bon Sllene. Still a prime favor- 
ite, on account of its delightful fra- 
grance and strong growth ; deep 
rose, shaded carmine. Valuable for 
summer or winter flowers. 
Bougere. Very similar to Cath- 
erine Mermet in color. We find it 
to be one of the most continuous 
bloomers ; very hardy. A first-class, 
all-round Rose. 
Comtesse de Frigneuse. In 
color, charming; in freedom of bloom 
second to none. The buds are long and 
pointed, and of good size. The color is deep 
golden yellow, with softer shade inside of 
petal. Ranks next to Marechal Niel. 
Coquette de Lyon. Vigorous, rapid 
grower and constant bloomer. Pure canary 
yellow. 
Cornelia Cook. Fine creamy white ; extra 
large buds and flowers ; very double. Quite 
distinct from all other creamy white Roses, 
and when well grown is magnificent. 
Christine de Noue. Splendid, free-flower- 
ing ; rich crimson-maroon, changing to pur- 
plish red. Makes a large, nicely shaped 
bush, with clean, bright foliage. 
Bridesmaid.
