J. B. Clark. One of the most vigorous grow¬ 
ing of all red hybrid tea roses. Color deep 
blackish crimson, with scarlet shadings. It 
is an especially fine fall bloomer. The foli¬ 
age on the young growth is a beautiful 
bronze. 
Maman Coeliet 
Madam l-eon Pain. Lovely silvery pink, shaded 
with salmon. Buds are much after the 
appearance of Prince Bulgaire, but showing 
a much more delicate color arrangement. 
Growth exceedingly vigorous. It produces 
lavish quantities of flowers throughout the 
entire season. 
Madam Melanie Soupert. One of the most 
highly prized points in a good rose in a 
long pointed bud. It would be difficult to 
find one surpassing this exquisite variety 
in this respect; deep yellow toned with 
salmon. The open bloom has much the ap¬ 
pearance of a semi-double paeony. When 
fully expanded it loses the deeper bud tints 
and becomes quite light. 
Peace. The color is a delightful lemon yel¬ 
low; buds of medium length, expanding into 
large, broad-petaled flower of great beauty. 
It is as free in production as Marie Van 
Houtte, and when better known will occupy 
a premier position. 
Franz Deegan. (New.) A seedling from 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. Superb in form 
and beautiful in color. Deep orange-yellow 
center, merging to cream in outer petals. 
Throws very strong, well foliaged canes, 
surmounted by flowers of glorious size. 
Grass an Teplitz, The most profuse blooming, 
velvety crimson rose in existence, besides 
possessing an admirable constitution—a 
point lacking in most red roses. Has good, 
clean foliage and throws nice, strong, up¬ 
right canes. 
Killarney. A vigorous growing hybrid tea of 
recent introduction, with so many good 
points in its favor that it has become a 
standard variety. Its long, pointed buds, 
excellent substance and delicious odor rec¬ 
ommend it to every lover of the rose. Color 
flesh pink, shaded with white and suffused 
pale pink. 
Lady Battersea. A strikingly beautiful new 
rose, with long pointed buds of excellent 
form. Cherry blossom in color,- becoming 
much darker in the fall and winter. Long, 
stiff stems, well clothed with handsome foli¬ 
age. 
Maman Cachet. Ideal in form, perfect in 
color, vigorous in growth and well covered 
with handsome foliage. Deep rose pink, un¬ 
surpassed for lasting qualities and now 
grown by the thousands as a commercial 
cut flower. 
Madame Abel Chatenay. Produces a mass of 
salmon pink blooms and is especially useful 
as a winter bloomer. Fine either in the 
bud or open state, and lasts a long time 
after being cut. 
Mrs. Benjamin Cant. A grand, new variety of 
a beautiful carmine rose color, shading to 
salmon in the center. Growth extra strong, 
with fine, leathery foliage. Bright, clean, 
and with us it never mildews. A prolific 
bloomer. 
Madam Jean Dupuy. A superb new rose. Re¬ 
markably vigorous in growth and covered 
from top to bottom with very heavy, dark 
green, shiny foliage. Color grand in the 
extreme; golden-yellow center, shaded rosy 
yellow and broadly margined with rose. 
Marquis de (luerhoent. Contains all the high 
colors of copper salmon and golden yellow, 
beautifully blended. Produces very nice 
buds, which develop into a beautifully wavy 
bloom. 
Madam Gabriel Luizet. The loveliest shade of 
pale pink to be found in roses; of pure, even 
tone and well brought out in its large per¬ 
fect blooms. 
Perle von Godesburg. A sport from Kaiserin, 
with all the good points of its parent. Cen¬ 
ter of flower deep yellow, merging into 
cream in the outer portions of the petals. 
Madame Abel Cliaienay 
Prince of Bulgarie. A recent introduction 
which has grown in favor, as it has many 
good points to recommend it. Petals very 
broad and heavy. In color a superb rosy 
flesh. Free blooming and a strong grower.
