We Grow Plants for the Southern Planter

NeW looses for 1904 
We offer for the first time the following set of New Roses, which we have given a good 
test the past season, and we believe they will meet with a royal welcome by our patrons. 
While we have some dozens on trial, we shall offer only those that we feel sure are all right 
for this climate. Every one herein listed has proven a grand success the past summer, 
and many were the words of praise given by those who saw' them in bloom in our grounds 
the past season. We shall have no large plants to offer this season, but can furnish fine 
young plants from 2%-inch pots, that will make splendid plants the first season. We have 
put the price so low that all our patrons can afford at least a few of these beautiful sorts, 
so do not forget to add one or more of these new Roses to your order of 1904. 
Price, fine plants from 2K-inch pots, by mail or express, 16 cts. each, or the full set of 
nine beautiful new Roses for $1.25 
| Lady Battersea 
This variety has long, pointed buds of the 
largest size and is very striking in form; the 
color is bright cherry - crimson, often ap- 
proaching the shade of Liberty. The stems 
are stiff and extremely long; a vigorous 
grower and free bloomer; early in the sea- 
son the flowers are not very double, but on 
strong plants the blooms are well filled. An 
unusually promising bedder. 
Countess Busy | 
We have found this a most useful and 
beautiful general-purpose Rose. It is dwarf 
in habit, extremely free and branching in 
growth, blooms in great profusion, and is 
pure white in color; the bud pointed, and the 
open flower of very large size. We strongly 
recommend this variety as an outdoor border 
Rose. 
Souv. de Pierre Notting J 
This variety is a seedling of Marechal Niel 
and Maman Cochet, with beautiful closely set 
foliage and a strong, sturdy habit of growth. 
The bloom is very large, perfectly full, of 
elegant form, having a beautiful long bud ; the 
colors are very bright, distinct and clear, and 
have no unpleasant tones — orange - yellow, 
bordered in carmine-rose. Promises to prove 
very popular. Has received no less than six 
gold medals and prizes. 
Franz Beegen | 
A Seedling from Kaiserin Augusta Victoria 
This beautiful yellow Hybrid Tea is a fine 
grower, having dark leathery foliage and the 
good habit of throwing up numerous heavy 
canes, each one crowned by a glorious flower 
of large size, composed of large petals; the 
outer petals are about the color of Perle des 
Jardins; the inner petals a good orange 
shade, very deep and rich. It is a constant 
bloomer, opening its buds freely; a strong, 
healthy grower, not subject to mildew. A 
very promising variety. 
| Mrs. Oliver Ames 1 
This delightful Rose is round and full, 
with shell-shaped petals recurving and ruffled 
at the edges. The color is creamy white, 
laced and shaded in pink. Foliage small, 
closely set, leathery and dark. It is a sport 
from Mrs. Pierpont Morgan. 
Prince oi Bulgorie j 
A very vigorous grower, with large, bright 
green foliage, beautiful in form of bud; 
flower very large and full; the. outer petals 
are extremely large, of superb rosy flesh 
color; very tine and very free. First prize 
at the Paris Exposition. Very much like a 
superb Carnot in form. 
Philadelphia Rambler j 
It differs from the Crimson Rambler in 
three important points: The color is deeper 
and more intense; the flowers are perfectly 
double to the center, very durable and of fine 
substance. The blooms are almost entirely 
free from the faded look often found in Crim- 
son Rambler. It is very free in both growth 
and bloom, and will be found a splendid ad- 
dition to the Crimson Rambler section. 
Mrs. B. R. Cant | 
A fine garden variety of even shade of 
salmon-rose, round and full, the form of a 
good Hybrid Perpetual. A very free grower 
and free bloomer. It flowers as continuously 
and as freely as a China rose, and is espe- 
cially fine in autumn. A splendid addition to 
our standard bedders. 
Marquise de Querhoent | 
Long-pointed bud on a stiff, upright Stem, 
flowers borne singly; the color is beautiful 
china rose, copper salmon and golden yellow: 
extremely free: a seedling of (5. Nabbonnand 
and Laurette Messimy.
