THE HYBRID TEA ROSES— Continued 
William E. Nickerson. A most meritorious pink Rose. Large pointed 
buds open into very attractive, full, high centered blossoms of per¬ 
fect form. The deep pink color is very lasting in the fragrant, large 
blossoms. The plants are vigorous growers and bear their blooms 
singly on long, strong stems. Illustrated in color on page 11. 85c. 
William F. Dreer. A beautiful Rose with delicate colorings. The 
fragrant flowers are similar in shape to Los Angeles, and, like it, are 
beautiful in all stages of development, from the excellent buds to the 
wide open flowers. The colors blend from a delicate orange pink on. 
the edges to a rich golden yellow at the base of the petals, which, 
at certain stages of development, give a golden suffusion to the en¬ 
tire flower; has exquisite color and form. The bush is a profuse 
bloomer (45 flowers). 75c. 
Willowmere. A splendid Rose. Its coral red buds open into rich 
shrimp pink flowers tinted yellow in the center. It is large, double 
enough, well shaped and fragrant. The plant is a vigorous grower of 
bushy habit, with many thorns. See illustration, page 17. 75c. 
The Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
Hybrid Perpetuals are an older class of Roses which our 
parents used to enjoy so much. The bushes burst forth 
in a marvelous display of blooms in June, and if given 
good care will again bloom in the Fall. Their flowers are 
of very large size and are more richly fragrant than any 
other class. The bushes are strong, upright, and more 
hardy than the Hybrid Teas. For a mass of bloom do 
not prune hard. 
Frau Karl Druschki. The loveliest of all Hybrid Perpetuals. A 
snow-white of absolute purity. The large buds, of unexcelled form, 
are often surrounded by leaves in such a way as to give them a 
collar of added beauty. When the flowers open they reveal a center 
filled with stamens of pure gold. Although a Hybrid Perpetual, 
this variety can be relied upon to produce flowers more or less 
throughout the Summer and Fall, providing that the blooms 
have been cut with medium-long stems. The ample growth, the 
abundant foliage, profusion of bloom, and the chaste whiteness of 
bud and bloom appeal to all. 50c. 
General Jacqueminot. The old favorite “Jack” Rose. The satiny 
texture of its universally familiar crimson flowers and its associ¬ 
ations with the gardens of America for the many years past will 
recommend this variety, even though many other red Roses have 
come and gone. The deep rich color of the fragrant double blos¬ 
soms is long remembered. 50c. 
George Arends. A large delicate pink, in its most exquisite shade. 
Deliciously fragrant blossoms are produced on long, strong stems, 
mostly in June. 50c. 
J. B. Clark. Very large full blossoms of an intense deep scarlet 
are borne several together on long, strong stems. The double 
flowers are high centered and moderately fragrant. Growth is 
enoimous and should be pruned back more than most Hybrid 
Perpetuals every Spring in order to get the high quality blooms. 50c. 
Magna Charta. The favorite of the greenhouse Roses for Easter. 
The very large, full, rounded rosy pink blooms are a great sight as 
they fairly cover the well-shaped plants. The petals are large, stiff, 
and remain on for a long time; heavily perfumed. 50c. 
Mme. Albert Barbier. A new variety of a remarkable color for a 
Hybrid Perpetual Rose—a soft yellow, in a well-shaped blossom. 
The full cupped flowers are produced at intervals throughout the 
whole season, even surpassing some of the Hybrid Tea varieties 
in profusion of bloom. It is a moderately strong grower but not a 
tall variety; in fact, it acts more like a Hybrid Tea than a Hybrid 
Perpetual and requires Winter protection. 75c. 
M rs. John Laing. In the soft pink Hybrid Perpetuals, this variety 
persists among the superior Roses. The large, plump buds open 
into very full, perfectly formed, almost globular flowers with 
rounded petals which are regularly arranged like a rosette. Long, 
strong stems and ample foliage serve to make a bush of great 
beauty. Very fragrant. One of the most constant bloomers of 
this class. 50c. 
Mrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford. Imbricated deep rosy pink blos¬ 
soms are large, full and cupped. The outer petals are shaded pale 
flesh and the blossoms are very fragrant. The bushes are vigorous 
growers and abundant bloomers. 50c.
