Dependable Garden Roses 
By all means have Roses in your garden—Roses to cut and bring indoors where they may be enjoyed 
more intimately. 
Roses are not difficult to grow. Ordinary garden conditions, a soil that will grow good vegetables, and 
reasonable care will produce surprisingly good blossoms from June until late October. No flower approaches 
the Rose in continuity of bloom or has its appeal as a cut-flower. 
Many new varieties have been added in recent years, increasing the color-range and at the same time 
making it possible to select varieties that can be grown without too much cultural attention. The beginner, 
however, will do well to consult one of the many good books available, such as “How to Grow Roses” or 
“The Rose in America.” 
A word about our Rose plants. It is generally agreed that Hybrid Tea Roses on their own roots, that is, 
grown from cuttings, lack sturdiness and vigor and are not as free in flowering as those budded on the stronger 
roots of a more vigorous type. We believe the Multiflora Japonica is the best rootstock; it produces strong, 
fibrous root-systems and is thoroughly at home under our New England conditions. With few exceptions, 
our plants are grown on this stock, hardier and more permanent than the majority of Roses which are grown 
in the West and make a softer, more rapid, but less sturdy growth. 
For the convenience of prospective customers, we have starred varieties that can be recommended 
for good all-round garden qualities 
Choice Newer Roses 
Autumn. An absolutely distinct Rose the color of 
which is a vivid burnt orange, streaked and 
marked with red. Large, double flowers of good 
size. Good, healthy growth and moderate fra¬ 
grance. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
^Countess Vandal. Plant Patent No. 38. This new 
Rose has been a consistent medal-winner in 
Europe. It is a lovely blending of bronze, coppery 
salmon, and gold. The long-pointed buds develop 
into large, sweetly perfumed flowers, always re¬ 
taining their excellent form. Very free and 
vigorous. A grand Rose for cutting. $1.50 each. 
Dotty. A grand Rose of the Rev. F. Page-Roberts 
type but more vigorous and luxuriant in growth. 
In color it is a blending of golden apricot, orange, 
and yellow and very lovely at all times. $1 each. 
Mary Hart. Plant Patent No. 8. A sport of the 
popular Talisman, but altogether distinct in color, 
which in the bud is dark maroon-red, opening vel¬ 
vety red, with a lovely overglow of amber. It is 
a strong, sturdy grower, but a fancier’s Rose, and, 
like Talisman, requires good culture. $1.50 each. 
*Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont. This is the outstanding 
yellow Rose of the day. The color is a rich golden 
yellow with reddish gold tints while in the bud 
stage. Perfectly healthy and the easiest growing 
of all of the yellow Roses and by all means the 
freest in flowering. Extra-strong plants, eastern- 
grown, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz. 
Mevrouw G. A. van Rossem. A unique and distinct 
blending of orange and apricot on a golden yellow 
base, with an occasional touch of bronze on the 
petal reverse. Flowers very large, perfectly 
formed, and deliciously fragrant. 75 cts. each, 
$7.50 per doz. 
Mrs. J. D. Eisele. Plant Patent No. 67. The per¬ 
fumed Rose. The delicious, fruity fragrance of 
this new variety will instantly appeal to those 
who regard fragrance as the outstanding quality 
of the Rose. It is outstanding in this respect, and, 
in addition, is remarkably free and continuous in 
flowering, even through the heat of midsummer. 
The color is cherry-rose, with a soft scarlet glow. 
A silvery, thread-like tracing throughout the 
reflexing petal ends adds to its charm. Fine keep¬ 
ing qualities and vigorous, upright, branching 
growth. $1.50 each. 
Olympiad. It is a lustrous dark Oriental scarlet 
—a vivid color further intensified by a glowing 
velvety sheen. The flowers are large, fully double, 
and of a very attractive form, carried on long stems. 
It grows vigorously and is an exceptionally good 
hot-weather variety for cutting. 75 cts. each, 
$7.50 per doz. 
Souvenir. Plant Patent No. 25. A fine golden 
yellow sport from the popular Talisman. While 
we have not had the opportunity to test this 
Rose in the garden, we believe it will soon find a 
place among the fine yellow Roses. $1.50 each.
