RED ROSES, continued 
Louis Philippe. (Beng.) Rich, velvety crim¬ 
son. While not so valuable for bouquets as some 
varieties, it is the most showy and satisfactory 
dark red Rose we have for gardens and grounds. 
It makes a large, vigorous bush, and there is 
scarcely a time during the entire year when it is 
not covered with bright red flowers. 
Marshall P. Wilder. (H. P.) Flowers very 
large, perfectly double, and of good substance; 
color bright cherry-red, shading to crimson. 
Plant a clean, healthy grower. 
Papa Gontier. (T.) Outer petals red, inner 
ones pink. A free-flowering Rose of great 
merit, with beautifully formed buds and flowers. 
Very vigorous and one of the best Roses in our 
collection. 
President Lincoln. (H. P.) Crimson, dark 
and velvety. Strong grower with good foliage, 
and medium to large flowers. 
Reine Marie Henriette. (C. T.) Cherry- 
red, a pure shade, which does not fade or 
shade off into undesirable tints; large, double 
and beautifully formed; somewhat fragrant. 
This is one of the finest red climbing Roses in 
our collection and we strongly recommend it. 
(See illustration, page 41.) 
Virginia R. Coxe (Gruss an Teplitz). (H. T.) 
A bright, dazzling crimson, with beautiful 
buds and medium-double flowers of large size. 
A profuse bloomer throughout the whole season. 
A strong and vigorous grower and should be 
given plenty of space. 
Pink Roses 
Anne de Diesbach. (H. P.) A bright, clear 
pink, with large petals, delicately veined. Flow¬ 
ers large and very double. It is a vigorous 
grower and produces its beautiful flowers in 
abundance. Sweet-scented. A fine variety. 
Baby Rambler. (Pol.) A dwarf Rose, reach¬ 
ing a height of 18 to 20 inches; flowers pink, 
double, produced in dense clusters of two to 
three dozen. It is always in flower, even in the 
hot weather of midsummer, and makes a beau¬ 
tiful mass of bloom. This is a very desirable Rose. 
Bon Silene. (T.) Deep salmon-rose, marked 
with carmine; highly scented. Valuable for its 
buds, which are large, and of fine form, and 
color. Very strong and robust in this section; 
blooms profusely the year round. An old favorite, 
and still very popular. 
Captain Christy. (H. P.) Extra-large, flat 
flowers, very full and regular; the color is a 
lovely shade of light pink, deeper toward the 
center. Vigorous; a free bloomer; one of the 
best in our collection.
