ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT, continued 
Bon Silene. Still a prime favorite on account of its delightful fragrance and strong growth; deep 
rose, shaded carmine. One of the finest of the light red Roses. Vaulable for summer or winter flowers. 
*Bougere. Very similar to the Catherine Mermet in color. We find it to be one of the most con- 
tinuous bloomers. Very hardy. A first-class all-round Rose. 
*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. 
Crown Princess Victoria Rose 
Bride Rose 
Etoile de Lyon Rose 
*The Burbank Rose. The Burbank is one of the freest flower- 
ing Roses in cultivation. The flowers are double, of fine form, 
nearly 3 inches across. The color is a deep rose-pink, the center 
shading to beautiful soft 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 in- 
side 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 produced 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 Mermet. Buds very large and globular ; petals re- 
curved, 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 resembles very much in habit of 
growth and style of flower. The bud, which is slightly tinted yel- 
low, opens out into a fine double, pure white flower. Very fra- 
grant. A most desirable Rose. 
*Corallina. Deep rose-crimson; large petals, fine in bed 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 Dusy. We have found this a most useful and beauti- 
ful general-purpose Rose. It is dwarf in habit, extremely free and 
branching ingrowth, blooms in great profusion, and is pure white 
in color ; the buds are pointed, and the open flower of very large 
size. We strongly recommend this as an outdoor border Rose. 
*Duchesse de Brabrant. Soft, rosy flesh, changing to deep rose ; 
very free in bloom and valuable. 
*Etoile de Lyon. One of the best and most beautiful yellow 
Tea Roses for general planting; may be had in bloom the entire 
year by proper treatment. The flowers are of good size, deep, 
full, very sweet-scented, rich golden yellow. 
*Franz Deegan. A seedling from Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. 
Th is 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, com- 
posed of large petals ; the outer petals are about the color of 
Perle des jardins ; the inner petals are 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 promis- 
ing variety. 
*Gruss an Teplitz (Hybrid Tea) . As a bedding 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 scarlet, shading to deep, rich velvety crim- 
son. It is very fragrant. The freest grower.
