rosy-pink. Blooms large, double with full and

Jonkheer J. L. Mock —This grand rose is one 
of the strongest growers in the Hybrid Tea 
class. Blooms are produced with the greatest 
freedom, carried on long stiff stems, and are 
of large size, of perfect formation and highly 
perfumed. Clear pink. 
Mme. Butterfly —Admired by thousands. All 
the color tones of Ophelia are intensified, mak¬ 
ing it a harmony of bright pink, apricot and 
gold. It averages more petals to the bloom; 
produces more blooms to the plant because it 
makes more branches, every one carrying a 
bud. The buds are a lovely shade of Indian 
oak, yellow at the base; the opening flowers 
are perfect in form and texture, and of de¬ 
licious fragrance. Each

Sweetheart —A well known rose, used to be 
found growing in most all rose gardens, many 
people who had no rose garden, would have a 
few of this old variety in their garden. The 
plant is a good grower, produces upright 
branches which weep gently, bark being green. 
Produces small, double, yellow flowers in early 
springtime in great profusion, even small plants 
produce great clusters of flowers. Easily grown. 
The leaves are peculiar in shape to other rose 
bushes, resembling cut-leaves, which are dis¬ 
tinctly green. Perfectly hardy and much val¬ 
ued by the rose grower of today. 
Everyone may not know this rose as “Sweet¬ 
heart,” but we have had inquiries, giving the 
above description under this name, and since 
we know of no variety, or can find any so- 
called, we are, therefore, listing it as Sweet¬ 
heart Rose. It is not only a novelty but a won¬ 
derful little rose and we believe will find favor 
with every grower. Each
