ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT, continued 
*Golden Gate. The buds are long and pointed, 
opening out into well-shaped flowers of creamy 
white, delicately tinged with golden yellow and 
rose ; blooms continuously. 
*Helen Gould (Balduin). Not only ourselves, 
but the general public believe this Rose to be one 
of the best ever-blooming Roses ever introduced. 
Its color is quite attractive, being a soft, intense 
carmine, with shades of cerise and solferino very 
much the color of American Beauty. It blooms 
very freely and will endure extremely cold 
weather with but slight protection. A grand Rose 
to add to our list, and one that every florist should 
introduce to his trade. 
*Helene Gambler. This lovely coppery yellow 
Hybrid Tea ever-blooming Rose will fill a long- 
felt want, from the fact that everybody has been 
looking and longing for a good yellow Rose that 
combines vigorous hardiness with rich color and 
free blooming qualities. This Helene Cambier 
does. It is a new Rose of French origin, destined, 
we believe, to find a prominent place among the 
highest grade of ever-blooming Roses. 
*Hermosa. Always in bloom and always beau- 
tiful ; the color is a most pleasing shade of pink ; 
very fragrant. 
*Ivory (White Golden Gate). It is a perfect 
Golden Gate in all respects except color, which 
is of the purest ivory-white. It has the same ex- 
quisite shape of bud as does the parent plant. 
We have found it a free and constant bloomer, 
and in all respects a first-class Rose. You will do 
well to include this beautiful Rose in your order. 
*Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A beautiful Rose 
with elegant, large-pointed buds and very large, 
full double flowers; delicate creamy white; de- 
liciously 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. 
*Lady Battersea. This variety has long, 
pointed buds of the largest size, and is very 
striking in form ; the color is bright cherry-crim- 
son, often approaching the shade of Liberty. The 
stems are stiff and extremely long; a vigorous 
grower and free bloomer ; early in the season the 
flowers are not very double, but on strong plants 
the blooms are well filled. An unusually promis- 
ing bedder. 
*Lady Clanmorris. Perfectly distinct ; a splen- 
did Rose, of very robust growth and free, branch- 
ing habit, flowering continuously and freely 
throughout the season ; blooms very large and of 
good form ; petals large, smooth and of great sub- 
stance, creamy white, with delicate salmon center, 
edge of petals margined pink. Field-grown. 30c. 
Lady Mary Cory. Growth vigorous and of 
erect, branching habit ; blooms of good size, freely 
produced and perfectly formed ; color deep golden 
yellow. Distinct and fine. Field-grown. 30 cts. 
*Louis Philippe. Rich, dark, velvety crimson ; 
free and beautiful. 
*Mad. Abel Chatenay. Very strong, healthy- 
growing variety, with rich, bright foliage. A 
grand bedding Rose, as it is a profuse and con- 
tinuous bloomer ; flowers of good size, very 
double, with slightly recurved petals; elegant 
buds, just the right size and shape for buttonhole 
use; color rosy carmine, shaded salmon. 
*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 contin- 
uously and freely as a China Rose, and is es- 
pecially fine in autumn. A splendid addition to 
our standard bedders. 
Marie Guillot. Splendid for any use ; es- 
pecially desirable for summer Rose beds ; pure 
white, sometimes tinted pale yellow. 
*Meteor. Rich velvety crimson, exceedingly 
bright and attractive. The plant is of vigorous 
growth and very free-flowering. 
*Mrs. De Graw. An ideal bedding Rose that 
will give an abundance of bloom from early sum- 
mer until frost. The flowers are bright rich pink, 
of good size and very fragrant ; blooms in clusters. 
*Mad. Schwaller. A remarkable Rose, having 
the strength and style of the Hybrid Perpetual 
and the free-flowering qualities of the Tea; color 
deep rosy flesh, deepening on edge of petals. 
*Mosella (Yellow Soupert). Mosella is a 
stronger grower and flowers a little larger than 
Clothilde Soupert, but appear the same in clus- 
ters and on single stems. The color is a chrome- 
yellow in the center, getting creamy white on the 
edges of the petals. It will make a great bedder, 
and is perfectly hardy.
