These are highly valued because of their exquisite dainty coloring and delicious tea 
fragrance, together with their remarkable free blooming qualities, flowering profusely as 
they do from June to November. They are less hardy than the Hybrid Teas and need careful 
protection in cold climates. 
ALEXANDER HILL CRAY —Color is a deep lemon-yellow which intensifies as the blooms 
develop; flowers large, of great substance and perfect formation; it has a high-pointed 
center from which the petals gracefully reflex. We recommend it highly. 
BLUMENSCHMlDT —Pure citron yellow, outer petals edged tender rose. Very full, double 
flowers; remarkably vigorous grower. 
CLOTILDE SOUPERT —Color a French white, deepening to a rosy blush in the center. Its 
greatest value lies in its compact, vigorous habit and wonderful profusion of bloom. 
ETOILE de LYON —Flowers are very large and double; buds are long and pointed. Color, 
beautiful chrome yellow, deepening at the center to pure golden yellow. Unusually rugged 
grower, proving hardy in quite severe climates. 
HELEN GOOD (Beauty Cochet) —Delicate yellow, suffused with pink, each petal edged 
deeper; very chaste and beautiful. Remarkably free flowering, particularly in late fall. 
MARIE GUILLOT —This beautiful Tea Rose continues in popular favor, and still maintains 
its position as one of the best white Roses of its class; flowers of an unusual style, entire¬ 
ly double to the center; very sweet scented. 
SOUVENIR de PIERRE NOTTINC —The bloom is very large, perfectly full, elegant form; 
has a beautiful long bud; the colors are very bright, distinct and clear and have no un¬ 
pleasant tones—orange-yellow, bordered in carmine-rose.

flowers are produced in large clusters.

poses. The tips of the petals are vivid scarlet, shading into pink, saf- 
fron and gold, a very pleasing combination. Flowers are miniature in

fragrance of its flowers.

intense coppery-yellow suffusion, the base of the petals golden-yellow 
which intensifies and lightens up its high colors. Plant is of free growth 
and floriferous.

brilliant scarlet orange color. A wonderful addition to list of polyan- 
thas. No other color like it. Bound to prove very popular. One-Year 
Plants, 25c each; Two-Year Plants, 50c each. 
CRUSS AN AACHEN —Yellowish rose colored with salmon-pink and red 
shadings; full, strong, free blooming and disease proof; erect and of 
moderate growth. Owing to the size and beauty of its flowers and its 
symmetrical growth, this variety is highly recommended for low, bright 
massing.

specimen. A decidedly distinct type as the brilliant cherry-crimson 
flowers of immense size are produced on great branched trusses (as 
many as forty flowers on one branch). The largest flowering Poly¬ 
antha yet produced. 
MLLE. CECILE BRUNNER (Sweetheart) —The most charming of all the

lovers. The full, double flowers are borne profusely; the color is a soft 
blush pink, deepening to rose.
