ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT, continued 
*Bessie Brown. A Rose of transcendent beauty, 
totally distinct, and one of the largest and fullest 
that we have ever seen. It is erect and vigorous 
in growth, flowering profusely in the open ground 
all through the summer; so far (December) it 
shows fine flowers outside. The color, pure white, 
sometimes faintly flushed pink; petals enormous and 
of shell shape; it is marvelous that such large flowers 
can be so freely produced. Field-grown, 30 cts. 
*Bridesmaid. The most p pular pink Tea Rose. 
Thousands of this variety are grown every year 
for cut-flowers; also very desirable for summer 
bedding outdoors. A delightful shade of bright 
pink ; free-flowering and easily grown. 
*Bride. A pure white Rose of perfect form and 
fine size. The buds are long and pointed ; the 
flower opens up beautiful and full ; delightfully 
scented. The most popular white Tea 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. 
*Christine de Noue. Splendid free-flowering ; 
rich crimson-maroon, changing to purplish red. 
Makes a large, nicely shaped bush, with clean, 
bright foliage. 
*Clothilde Soupert. Begins to bloom when but 
3 or 4 inches high, and is never without bloom if 
kept healthy. The full, double flowers are pro- 
duced in sprays of three or more and are of the 
finest imaginable form. The outer petals are 
pearl-white, shading to a center of rosy pink, but 
vary sometimes from pure white to silvery rose 
on the same plant. 
*Catherine Mennet. Buds very large and globu- 
lar ; petals recurved, showing to advantage the 
lovely bright pink of the center, shading into light, 
creamy pink, reminding one of La France in 
its silvery shading. A strong grower and fine 
bloomer. 
*Crown Princess Victoria (White Malmaison). 
A sport from Souv. de la Malmaison, which it re- 
sembles very much in habit of growth and style of 
flower. The bud, which is slightly tinted yellow, 
opens out into a fine double, pure white flower. 
Very fragrant. A most desirable Rose. 
*Corallina. Deep rose-crimson ; large petals, 
fine in bud form. Very strong-growing and free- 
blooming 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. 
*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 buds are pointed, and the open 
flower of very large size. We strongly recom- 
mend this variety as an outdoor border Rose. 
*Duchesse de Brabant. .Soft, rosy flesh, chang- 
ing to deep rose; very free in bloom and valuable. 
*EtoiledeLyon. One of the best and most beau- 
tiful yellow Tea Roses for general planting; may 
be had in bloom the entire year by proper treat- 
ment. The flowers are of good size, deep, full, 
very sweet-scented, rich golden yellow. 
*Franz Deegan. 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. 
^Gladys Harkness. Growth is very erect and 
vigorous, reminding one of American Beauty; 
profuse in bloom. Flowers large, formed like a 
fine Hybrid Perpetual ; color deep salmon-pink ; 
has a splendid constitution and is very fragrant. 
*Gruss an Teplitz (Hybrid Tea). As a bed- 
ding Rose this is one of the finest and most useful 
varieties ever sent out. Many of our customers 
who bought it last spring are realizing its value 
and singing its praises. It will take rank with 
Hermosa or Soupert. The color is brightest scar- 
let, shading to deep, rich velvety crimson. It is 
very fragrant. The freest grower. 
General Robert E. Lee. Orange-yellow, after 
the style of Ma Capucine, but richer and better. 
It is a good grower, has elegant long buds, borne 
on long stems, and will produce more of them 
than any other Rose we know. It forces easily, 
being at its best in midwinter. The color is so 
peculiar and rich that it attracts attention wher- 
ever seen. Try it.
