SUPERB 
ROSES 
Madam Leon Pain. Lovely silvery pink, 
shaded with salmon. Buds much after the 
appearance of Prince Bulgaire, but show¬ 
ing a much more delicate color arrange¬ 
ment. 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 is 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 
appearance of a semi-double paeony. 
When fully expanded it loses the deeper 
bud tints and becomes quite light. 
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. 
Kaiserln Augusta Victoria. Grown all over 
the world wherever the rose is appreciated 
and cultivated for its beauty and frag¬ 
rance. Ivory white in color, grand in form, 
free in growth and beautiful from the ex¬ 
panding bud until the petals drop. 
Lady Battersea. 
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 Vau 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-yel¬ 
low center, merging to cream in outer 
petals. Throws very strong, well foliaged 
canes, surmounted by flowers of glorious 
size. 
General Jacqueminot. Velvety crimson, with 
scarlet shadings; an old stand-by, and al¬ 
ways in demand on account of its fine 
color. 
Gruss an Teplitz. The most profuse bloom¬ 
ing, velvety crimson rose in existence, be¬ 
sides possessing an admirable constitu¬ 
tion — a point lacking in most red roses. 
Has good, clean foliage and throws nice, 
strong, upright canes. 
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 
foliage. 
Maman Cochet. Ideal in form, perfect in 
color, vigorous In growth and well cov¬ 
ered with handsome foliage. Deep rose 
pink, unsurpassed for lasting qualities and 
now grown by the thousands as a com¬ 
mercial 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 va¬ 
riety 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 mil¬ 
dews. A prolific bloomer.
