WE GROW PLANTS FOR THE SOUTHERN PLANTER 
5 
WINNIE DAVIS (The Daughter of the Confederacy) 
This excellent Rose was raised from seed, being a cross between the famous Empress 
Augusta Victoria and the well-known Belle Siebrecht. The color is apricot-pink, shading to 
a flesh tint at base of petals; buds oblong and well formed, when fully expanded resembling 
a sunburst; most peculiar, and strikingly beautiful. Its habits are vigorous and robust; very 
free-blooming, each eye producing flowers. Foliage leathery, reddish green, glossy and very 
large. It also has the disposition of throwing up vigorous shoots from the roots, producing 
three to eight blooms, its peculiar fragrance like luscious apricots. For the middle and 
southern states we claim the Winnie Davis to be an acquisition second to none introduced in 
recent years. Strong, thrifty plants in 2%-incli pots. 20 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3, by mail or 
express. 
OR. CAZENEUVE 
Flower large, nicely formed, dark velvety crimson in color, like Jean Liabaud. One of 
the finest dark Hybrid Teas. This Rose was admired by all who saw it in bloom the past 
season. We can recommend it highly as a novelty of merit. 20 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3, by 
mail or express. 
BEATRIX DE BUISSERET 
Bud extraordinarily beautiful; flower very large, quite full, of beautiful form and perfect 
texture; silvery rose and rosy carmine; very free and fragrant. A seedling from Testout, and 
a truly fine Rose. We believe this Rose will have a large sale as soon as it becomes better 
known, and we feel justified in giving it the highest recommendation. 20 cts. each, 50 cts. 
for 3, by mail or express. 
CORALLINA 
Deep rosy crimson, large petals, fine in bud form. Very strong-growing and free-bloom- 
ing sort of great merit. We have great faith in the future of this Rose, and we believe it 
will be much sought after when it becomes better known. 20 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3, by mail 
or express. 
JULES GIRODIT 
Flower very large and of good form; rosy peach color shading to bright pink; very free. 
Magnificent in size and form. This Rose must be seen to be appreciated; many were the ex- 
clamations of joy uttered by those who saw this Rose in bloom the past summer in our 
houses. You surely will want this Rose. 20 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3, by mail or express. 
ALLIANCE FRANCO-RUSSE 
Bud long, on strong stem; flower large and full, brilliant yellow; fine bloom. Strong 
grower and an all-around good Rose. 20 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3, by mail or express. 
MARQUISE LITTA 
A beautiful everblooming Hybrid Tea Rose; one of the most beautiful introduced in a 
decade. The color is generally a bright carmine-red with a vermilion center, but it varies some 
under varying conditions. Occasionally flowers will be a deep cherry-red, and again beauti- 
ful shades of rich rosy pink are found in it. This chameleon-like characteristic is but one 
of its many charms. Under glass it is practically unchangeable in color, and it is being 
largely grown for winter flowers. It has large, full buds, broad, heavy petals, and opens 
charmingly. The fragrance is peculiarly rich and spicy. It has won many prizes at exhibi- 
tions. 20 cts. each, 50 cts. for 3, by mail or express. 
MRS. THEODORE ROOSEVELT 
A beautiful Rose. It is a seedling of La France, much stronger in growth and has a 
better constitution. The freedom of bloom is remarkable; small plants begin blooming at 
once and produce flowers in continuous succession throughout the season. The buds are 
full, long and pointed; the open flowers never show a center and remain fresh and pleasing 
for a remarkably long time. The color is creamy white, with pink shadings in the depths of 
the petals, the coloring being pronounced in the center. It is a grand Rose for the garden; 
but it is, if anything, even grander when grown for cut-flowers under glass, and will be 
largely used for that purpose. It is deliciously fragrant. 30 cts. each, 50 cts. for 2, by mail 
or express. 
Haskell Avenue Floral Co. El Paso, Texas. April 5, 190 S . 
Gentlemen : Plants came to hand today, and I want to say that they were the finest lot of plants I 
ever saw come from any one. They are more than satisfactory. The Roses, especially, are the finest 
plants I ever got anywhere. I have over 100 sorts of Roses and have bought from mauy northern houses, 
but Texas beats them all. I shall always remember you when I am in need of flowers. R. J. K. P.
