THE ROSE 
We consider the rose “A National Flower,” inasmuch as it adapts itself to almost 
any soil and climatic condition. No garden or yard is complete without a well 
selected assortment of roses. We confine ourselves to growing the well known 
varieties principally, and in ordering parties will make no mistake if they leave the 
selection to us, designating colors wanted and whether a climbing or bush rose is 
desired.

RECENT INTRODUCTION OF SUPERIOR 
MERIT. 
Betty. A superb variety, with blooms of 
the most exquisite coloring imaginable; 
copper rose of lovely tint, shaded with 
golden yellow at the base. The growth 
is strong and vigorous and well furnished 
with thick, leathery foliage. Buds long 
and pointed. 
Frau Karl Druschkl. One of the grandest 
hybrid perpetuals in existence. It pro¬ 
duces very large, snowy white blooms and 
is beautiful either in the bud or fully 
expanded state. In its full blown state the 
blooms greatly resemble a snow-white 
paeony. 
Florence Pemberton. Flowers very full, 
showing exceptional size when fully open. 
Center high and pointed, color silvery pink, 
deeper at the base of the petals.

Hugh Dickson. This magnificent rose re¬ 
ceived the gold medal of the National Rose 
Society of England, a much-coveted but 
difficult award to obtain. Excites admir¬ 
ation on account of its rich, brilliant crim¬ 
son color and intense fragrance. 
Joseph Hill. The interior of the bloom is 
an exquisite shade of golden copper, merg¬ 
ing at the edges of the petals to salmon 
pink. It is a strong, vigorous grower, 
throwing heavy canes and an abundance 
of flowers, and buds of uniformly fine qual¬ 
ity. Deliciously scented, and of unsur¬ 
passed effect as a cut flower. * 
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 
foliage on the young growth is a beauti¬ 
ful bronze.
