ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT, continued 
*Maman Cochet. An excellent pink Rose, with 
rich, long, straight stems ; deep rosy pink, healthy 
foliage, and large flowers on the inner side of 
petals silvery rose. Equally valuable for pot cul- 
ture or outdoor planting. 
Marie Van Houtte Is creamy white, outer 
petals outlined with bright rose ; occasionally the 
entire flower is suffused with light pink ; growth 
strong; bloom profuse. 
*Mad. Francisca Kruger. Large flowers of 
beautiful copper-yellow. Unlike any other Roses 
on our list. 
*Mad. Jos. Schwartz. One of the most hardy 
Tea Roses, and particularly adapted for open- 
ground planting ; produces its bloom in great pro- 
fusion ; color white, beautifully flushed with pink. 
*Mad. Caroline Testout. Probably no Rose 
stands higher in public estimation today than La 
France, and when we say this elegant new Rose 
is a close counterpart of La France we have said 
enough to insure it being planted by vast numbers 
of people. We don’t know that it is any better 
than La France, but it is decidedly deeper and 
more brilliant in color and a larger flower, and is 
as good in other ways. It is a wonderful Rose. 
Niphetos. Still a great favorite and one of the 
best white Tea Roses. The buds are long and 
pointed, opening out into a fine, large, pure 
white flower. Much prized on account of its de- 
lightful fragrance. 
*Pearl of the Garden. The form of this bud is 
round and symmetrical ; growth strong, healthy, 
vigorous ; color rich canary yellow. 
*Prince of Bulgarie. A very vigorous grower, 
with large, bright green foliage ; beautiful in bud ; 
flowers are very large and full ; the outer petals 
are extremely large, of superb rosy flesh-color ; 
very fine and very free. First prize at the Paris 
Exposition. Very much like a superb Carnot in 
form. 
*Pink Soupert. This bright new Rose is a very 
free-flowering variety, much resembling Hermosa, 
but more double and flowering more freely. The 
flowers are not quite so large, full and handsome 
as our original Soupert, but fill a place because of 
their brightness and freedom. 
*Queen of Edgely (Pink American Beauty). 
Another season has proved this wonderful Rose 
to be all and more than was claimed for it by its 
originators. A perfect American Beauty in all 
respects except in color of bloom, which is a most 
lovely shade of bright pink, approaching 
Mme. Caroline Testout. As the flower 
grows older it turns to a lovely light pink. 
This is one Rose that you will all want, 
and the price this season is within the 
reach of all. We can recommend this highly 
to all lovers of a truly grand Rose. 
^Queen’s Scarlet. Dazzling crimson- 
scarlet, with beautiful buds. A splendid 
Rose. 
Rainbow. A very useful and handsome 
striped variety of strong, vigorous habit ; 
makes fine buds. 
*Souv. de Pierre Netting. 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 abeautiful long bud; the colors 
are very bright, distinct and clear, and have 
no unpleasant tones — orange - yellow, bor- 
dered in carmine-rose. Promises to prove 
very popular. Has received no less than six 
gold metals and prizes. 
Snowflake. Never out of bloom, and 
as a pure white bedding Rose its equal is 
hard to find. 
Sunrise. A grand improvement over the 
well-known Sunset. The color is a blend- 
ing of deep yellow with bright scarlet and 
clear deep copper shadings ; as the bud 
opens the scarlet changes to dark red. The 
buds are perfect, and the open flower is 
one of the handsomest imaginable. 
Sunset. Full, finely formed flowers ; 
rich golden amber, tinged and shaded ruddy 
copper; a prolific bloomer. 
MAD. CAROLINE TESTOUT
