Countess of Gosford (H. T.) 
(M'GREEDY) 
Clear salmon-pink, base of petals saffron ; large, 
full and very free, being quite perpetual ; a very 
promising novelty.

A lovely bedding Rose, with large flower of 
porcelain-white, with shell shadings of delicate 
pink. Very free and very fragrant. Bloom round- 
ing and full. Foliage and habit excellent ; one of 
the most promising bedders.

pure crimson - scarlet, abso- 
lutely full and of large size, very 
free in bloom.

andra (H. T.) 
(JAKOBS. WELTER.) 
Very large and full, perfect 
cupped form, opens well and is 
free; canary-yellow, or cream ; 
larger than Kaiserin. Very 
strongly recommended by the a Vase of Roses 
raiser. 
Helen Good (Tea) 
(THE GOOD a REESE CO.) 
A true sport from Maman Cochet, duplicating 
its habit and foliage exactly, while the color is 
quite new and distinct, a delicate pink, each petal 
edged deeper, making an exquisite arrangement 
of color. A splendid addition to our limited 
number of summer-blooming varieties. 
Lucien De Lemos 
(LAMBERT) 
A large, globular Hybrid Tea, with very large 
outer petals on long, upright stalks ; warm pink, 
center rosy white ; flowers durable and fragrant ; 
free in bloom ; a nice grower. We are fully con- 
vinced that this fine novelty deserves a place with 
the two Cochets, which is the highest praise we 
can give it. 
Mme. Ancelot 
(RUGOSAXM. COCHET) 
Resembles a Tea in foliage, flowers large and 
very double, form perfect ; bright rosy flesh shad- 
ing silvery white •• splendid autumn bloomer. 
Mme. Gamon 
(GAMON) 
Pure Tea, with long, handsome bud, on a stiff, 
wiry but graceful stem ; the habit is beautiful and 
it is a free grower and wonderfully free in bloom. 
Color apricot, shaded and washed in golden sun- 
set-color. 
Rosemary (H. T.) 
(E. G. HILL) 
A beautiful Rose of shining, 
silvery pink, recommended for 
bedding. Very large and very 
double; a sturdy grower with 
stiff stems and large foliage ; 
flowers freely produced, of ex- 
quisite form. 
Souvenir De Maria 
Zayas (H. T.) 
(SOUPERT Sf NOTTING) 
A robust, vigorous grower, 
producing a long, pointed bud 
on a long, stiff stem. Flowers 
very large, full and of perfect 
form. Color, bright carmine, veined darker. 
Very fragrant and free. One of the best. 
Wm. R. Smith 
Wm. R. Smith, a cross between Kaiserin Au- 
gusta Victoria and Maman Cochet ; this Rose has 
every quality necessary for a first-class bedding 
variety in the open ground, is extremely strong in 
growth, free in production of canes and foliage, the 
leafage is so firm and heavy that it resists all the 
diseases to which the more tender varieties are sub- 
ipet. It is very full flower, form closely resembles 
that of Maman Cochet, being beautifully pointed, 
while in color it is brighter than Golden Gate, 
being of a deep ivory-white, overlaid with a good, 
bright shade of pink. We feel absolutely posi- 
tive that this variety will rank quite up with the 
Cochets and Kaiserin as a summer bloomer.
