We are offering the most choice list of varieties, 
except where noted. 
RED ROSES 
CHAS. K. DOUGLAS—(H. T.) Bud large, long 
pointed; flower large, full, double, sweet fragrance; 
color intense flaming scarlet, flushed bright velvety 
crimson. Foliage dark green; disease resistant; vig¬ 
orous, upright grower, produces an abundance of 
blooms from June to October. 
E. G. HILL—(H. T.) Bud very beautiful; flower 
immense, unusually lasting, dazzling scarlet, shad¬ 
ing to a deeper pure red as it develops, but never 
showing purple, borne on long stem. Foliage abun¬ 
dant, of fine color. Growth vigorous; very free 
bloomer. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE—(H. T.) This Rose is 
comparatively new and its worth has been realized 
more and more as it has been tried out. It is con¬ 
sidered by Rose experts to be one of the best red 
Roses on the market today. Flower moderately dou¬ 
ble, especially attractive when half blown. Its dark 
red overlaid with almost black velvet shadings is 
irresistible. 
MAMAN COCHET—Red. (Helen Gould.) It is 
claimed to be the largest flowering and freest bloom¬ 
ing Hybrid Tea Rose in existence, and the most beau¬ 
tiful and satisfactory rose for general planting ever 
offered. Color is a rich, deep pink. 
RED RADIANCE—The wonderful, globular, heavy¬ 
stemmed “Radiance” duplicated in all respects except 
color; this sport form being a brilliant crimson. 
YELLOW AND RED— 
TWO-TONED ROSES 
AUTUMN—Bud medium size, ovoid, burnt-orange; 
flower medium size, double, cupped, lasting, mod¬ 
erately fragrant, burnt-orange, streaked with red, 
borne singly on medium-length stem. Foliage abun¬ 
dant, leathery, glossy, disease-resistant. Good upright 
grower; free and continuous bloomer. 
2-year, heavy plants, 75c each; $7.50 per doz., prepaid. 
PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER—A glorious 
new Rose unfolding its broad, thick petals unhurriedly 
from the beautiful pointed bud. Vivid cerise-pink, 
softly flamed with yellow, orange and scarlet; this 
combination most emphatic on the reverse. The per¬ 
fume is exquisite; the foliage ornamental. 
REV. F. PAGE-ROBERTS—A fine, big, colorful 
rose, glorious in the cooler days of autumn. A full, 
shapely flower, golden yellow stained outside with 
red; the copper-red buds extra long. 
TALISMAN—The most gorgeous assemblage of 
colors in one flower ever presented by a rose, exhibited 
mostly in well defined angular blocks; gold, apricot- 
yellow, blood-orange, deep pink and old rose. The 
bud is long and shapely, developing into medium 
sized comn'ictly double flowers; a free-bloomer, with 
glossy foliage. 
Everblooming Roses 
2 year field grown, 60c each, $6.00 per dozen, postpaid, 
YELLOW ROSES 
JOANNA HILL. A slender, daintily colored variety 
of orange-yellow, similar to that favorite old rose, 
Mrs. Aaron Ward. The flowers are moderately 
fragrant and excellent for cutting. 
LUXEMBURG. A fine, large, fully double rose of 
vigorous branching habit, and unusual freedom for 
the color, which is a rich golden yellow. 
SAFRANO. Bright apricot yellow, changing to 
orange and fawn, frequently tinted with rose. 
VILLE DE PARIS. A clear sunflower yellow rose 
which does not fade even in the hottest sun. The 
plant is a vigorous erect grower with handsome 
glossy reddish green foliage; disease proof, almost 
thornless and the stems are long. 
WHITE ROSES 
FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI—The White American 
Beauty or Snow Queen. An everywhere hardy, vig¬ 
orous grower, with bright green leaves, delicately 
veined; splendid long buds and magnificent snow- 
white blooms with large saucer-shaped petals. 
Rightly named and deservedly a prize winner. 
KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. This is the 
finest and largest white Rose for summer blooming. 
The flowers are pure white and ideal in form. 
DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY. A pure white 
“sport” from the pink Killarney; equal to it in all 
the good points of the latter, superior to it in some. 
One strong point of superiority is that it has more 
petals than the parent variety, and these petals are 
of greater substance, so it is of greater value for out¬ 
door bedding. The buds and flowers are beautiful 
beyond description; many consider it easily the fin¬ 
est white garden rose in cultivation.
