POTEET, TEXAS 
25 
Rev. F. Page Roberts —An excellent addition to 
the yellow roses, quite different from any other 
variety; the inner face of the petals is a soft buff 
yellow and the reverse is a rich salmon, while the 
buds are often stained with copper red; the flowers 
are large, very double, with a delicious fruity 
fragrance; plant is low and spreading, with mildew- 
proof foliage. 
Rose Marie Ht. —Stands in the same class as the 
Hoosier Beauty and Sunburst and is said to be a 
cross between these two splendid varieties; flowers 
are a deep pink, wonderfully perfumed, and of per¬ 
fect form; a continuous bloomer with long stems 
and clear green foliage which is mildew resistant; 
no garden should he without this magnificent rose. 
Talisman —This New Rose offers a most novel 
and remarkable effect in coloring; it is a combina¬ 
tion of gold, apricot, yellow and deep pink or old- 
rose; the outside of the petals is bright yellow, 
gold, and pink; as the flower develops and the 
petals unfold they become bright apricot, gold, deep 
rose-pink or old-rose and unlike most roses the 
color becomes brighter as the flowers develop; the 
bud is long, perfectly formed, averaging about 
25 to 28 petals; the plant is a strong vigorous 
grower with glossy, green foliage; free flowering. 
Willowmere —Color is salmon-pink, overcast 
with light orange and lightened at the base with 
just a suspicion of gold. 
All of above Modern Standard Varieties; strong 
2-.vear-old budded bushes: 
No. 1 _ 35$ each; per dozen $3.50 
No. 14 _ .25$ each; per dozen 2.50
