MARY HART. A striking red sport of Talisman. The bud is mar¬ 
oon red, opening to well formed blossoms of deep velvety 
blood-red with an overglow of amber. Unlike most red roses, 
Mary Hart does not wilt or dry out when cut, but opens per¬ 
fectly. No. 1_ 6 00 
NIGRETTE. “The Black Rose of Sangerhausen.” The cup shaped 
flowers are intensely deep maroon with blackish velvet sheen 
and are deliciously fragrant. It is the darkest of roses, ap¬ 
pearing almost black from a little distance. The petals do not 
burn in the sun. The plant is continuously in bloom, spending 
most of its energy in forming blossoms (Originator’s descrip¬ 
tion). The sensation of the European rose world is now avail¬ 
able for the first time in this country. (Late Fall or Spring 
only) No. 1_ 13 75 
SOUVENIR. The Golden Talisman. One of the loveliest of roses. Its 
bloom is a rich deep golden yellow, and it is a prolific pro¬ 
ducer of fragrant flowers for cutting. It is a superb garden 
variety with all the desirable qualities of the popular Talis¬ 
man. No. 1_ 6 00 
TOKEN. Large Ophelia shaped bud. The double flowers are a single 
toned sun ripened apricot, a unique color. It is a free bloomer 
and has an upright growth in the garden. The flowers are 
very lasting and are pleasing at all stages. The glossy foliage 
is disease-resistant. (Late Fall or Spring only) No. 1_ 11 00 
CLIMBING VARIETIES 
BLAZE. Acclaimed by the Nation—the only hardy everblooming 
scarlet climber. It has every element to insure its success, for 
Blaze combines the vigor, beauty, and hardiness of Paul’s 
Scarlet Climber with the everblooming qualities of a favorite 
everblooming rose. No. 1_ 11 00 
GOLDEN CLIMBER. (Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James). The Hybrid 
Tea flowered climber. Will repeat the success of Blaze. The 
most interesting and unusual feature is that its extreme hard¬ 
iness is combined with blooms of Hybrid Tea type and qual¬ 
ity; long lasting and most always solitary on stems often 
eighteen inches or longer. It is very hardy, being able to with¬ 
stand sub-zero temperatures. The handsome glossy green 
foliage, green wood and red thorns are very ornamental. No. 1 13 75 
NEW DAWN. The first truly hardy everblooming climbing rose. 
Breaks as freely as a Hybrid Tea and a well cared for bush 
will produce many hundreds of blooms during the summer. 
The dark green glossy foliage is ornamental at all times and 
the fragrant blush pink blooms are excellent as a cut flower be¬ 
cause of their long stems and exquisite fragrance. We are 
constantly getting favorable reports from all over the country 
regarding its hardiness during the past very severe winter 
and its free flowering qualities. No. 1_ 11 00 
PRINCESS VON ORANGE. Sensational climbing sport of Gloria 
Mundi. It has strong growth and rich green foliage. The 
branches are literally covered with masses of blazing Gloria 
Mundi red flowers in polyanthalike trusses. The most talked 
of European climbing novelty in many years. No. 1- 13 75
