BUSH ROSES 
Our offerings are Roses of strictly No. 1 Grade. You will find our prices more than reason¬ 
able and if others are offered for less money a comparison of quality should be made. 
(SPECIAL NOTICE—Important)—Place your orders 
for Roses early in the season, as certain varieties 
become scarce as the season advances owing to the 
popular demand. 
Please state in your order if it will be satisfactory 
with you to substitute varieties if we cannot supply 
what you order. If you fail to state “no substitu¬ 
tion.” we will use our best judgment in selecting 
varieties for you. 
If wanted by mail, add 10c per bush for postage 
and packing. Express shipments will allow for more 
packing around the roots and we suggest having them 
expressed rather than mailed. 
In setting out roses a hole should be dug at least 
one foot in depth and 15 inches wide for each plant; 
the roots should be carefully spread out and covered 
with fine soil; manure should never be placed in ac¬ 
tual contact with the roots, but near at hand, within 
reach of the new feeding roots when growth begins. 
The remaining soil should then be packed in firmly, 
the surface leveled and covered with about three 
inches of pulverized manure and straw. 
CALEDONIA—Flowers very large and full double, 
high center, slightly fragrant and borne singly on 
long stems. Color, when first expanding, slightly 
lemon tinted, changing to a pure white as the flowers 
develop. Dark green disease-resistant foliage, and 
a continuous free bloomer; a fine garden Rose. 
CHAPLIN’S PINK CLIMBER—Beyond question this 
novelty, possessed of every possible good quality and 
free from faults, is the most important acquisition of 
recent years to the list of climbing roses. Its flowers 
are semi-double, fine in form, and clear, soft, but 
lively pink with golden stamens, each bloom, lovely 
in the extreme. Their effectiveness is heightened by 
the fact of their being borne in impressive trusses 
of S to 12 blooms, gracefully poised, and lasting a long¬ 
time. The plant is a vigorous grower, perfectly hardy, 
and always fresh and attractive in appearance. Pro¬ 
duces blossoms in profusion. Certificate of Merit and 
Gold Medal, National Rose Society of England; Award 
of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society. 
E. G. HILL—A wonderful new red rose of great 
merit. The largest red hybrid tea yet produced. 
Flower is dazzling scarlet shading to deeper pure red 
as it develops. It is a great producer and an un¬ 
usually good keeper. Long stems and free bloomer. 
TALISMAN—This vividly colored rose is receiving 
much publicity and it actually does merit all of the 
fine things that are claimed for it. The coloring is 
truly marvelous, being a mixture of orange and yellow 
in irregular proportions, varying so much that no two 
flowers are aike. Fairly double, borne on long stems; 
exceedingly sweet-scented. When you have once seen 
a perfect bud of Talisman, you cannot rest until you 
have it in your garden. 
GOLDEN EMBLEM—Throughout the entire season 
this magnificent rose draws more attention than any 
other in our rose fields. The lovely long buds of 
golden yellow are beautifully tinted with crimson on 
the outer petals, the colorings changing with weather 
conditions, but offering a delightful contrast at all 
times. Opens to a full golden yellow flower. The 
glossy green foliage is particularly fine, does not mil¬ 
dew, and the buds are borne on long stiff stems 
above the strong growing, vigorous bushes. The 
blooms are produced freely and continuously. 
DUCHESS OF ATHOL—For novelty and intensity 
of coloring, this new rose is outstanding in our entire 
list. The full, double flowers on their heavy stems 
possess an extremely rich shade ot* copper-bronze 
flushed with orange and old rose. 
Any of the Above Varieties, 75c postpaid. 
By Express Collect 65c each. 
MME. EDOUARD H ERRIOTT—This vivid rose al¬ 
ways catches and holds the eye first, no matter what 
other roses are present. Its red hot copper shade in 
the bud and the softer coral tint of the open flower 
are probably the most sensational colorings produced 
in any rose. Won a $5,000 prize offered by the “Daily 
Mail” of London, and has been famous ever since. 
The stems are sometimes weak and the bush is 
thorny, but it is indispensable in every garden. 
DAME EDITH HELEN—One of the largest and 
most perfectly shaped pink Roses known. Blooms 
abundantly, with long, strong stems. It has attracted 
abundant praise and unstinted admiration everywhere. 
PADRE—Beautiful and novel coloring, entirely dif¬ 
ferent from any other rose, this being a brilliant 
coppery red, flushed with yellow at the base. The 
habit of growth is vigorous, the flowers are large 
and the buds long and pointed. 
GEN. McARTHUR—One of the most popular and 
freest blooming of all red garden roses. Color is a 
bright rosy crimson. Especially valuable for bedding 
purposes. Fragrant. 
MME. EDOUARD HERRIOT 
J. L. MOCK—Clear imperial pink, reverse of petals 
rosy, silvery white. Blooms of magnificent size and 
form, produced on stiff erect canes. 
CECILE BRUNNER—The miniature flowers of this 
variety, rosy pink shaded with salmon, usually borne 
in large open clusters, fill a niche which no other 
rose can occupy. 
GOLDEN OPHELIA—Beautiful and dainty buds of 
a bright yellow, somewhere between canary and gold 
—clear and clean. 
HADLEY—A brilliant rich crimson rose, which with 
its vigorous growth, long stems, mildew-proof foliage, 
full blooms and rich fragrance is close to the top in 
red roses. 
HOOSIER BEAUTY—This remarkable rose is dis¬ 
tinctly different in coloring, being a glowing crimson 
with darker shadings. The buds are large, long and 
pointed. Blooms are very full when open. 
LOS ANGELES, H. T.—One of the finest roses ever 
introduced. The growth is very vigorous, and pro¬ 
duces a long-stemmed flower of a luminous flame- 
pink toned with coral and shaded with translucent 
gold at the base of the petals. The buds are long 
and pointed. 
Any of the Above Varieties, 60c, postpaid. 
By Express Collect, 50c each.
