THE ARISTOCRATS OF THE GARDEN 
While the individual flowers are small, one to one and one-half inches in 
diameter, they are of double nature, beautifully formed, and cluster in abun¬ 
dance. They bloom but once, but will keep in good condition on the plant 
for a period of two weeks. The blossoms are of a glowing crimson color and 
very attractive. 
Dorothy Perkins 
Dorothy Perkins Ihls variety was 
introduced by 
(Wichuraiana) the Jackson Per¬ 
kins Company, of New York, in 1902. 
It is an exceptionally vigorous climb¬ 
er, frequently attaining a height of 20 
feet in a season. 
The foliage is bright green in color 
and glossy from early spring until the 
winter months set in. For training 
over pergolas, trellises, porches, 
fences, etc., it has no superior. 
The plant is a solid mass of clear 
cherry-pink blossoms, sweet in fra¬ 
grance and grow in clusters. The 
blossoms are of medium size, full and 
double with crinkled petals, giving a 
fluffy appearance. 
Duchess de Brabant Widely 
/TT , ., m , known 
(Hybrid Tea) ' as “Dutch¬ 
ess.” This rose is especially adapted 
for bedding and decorative planting 
around the home for the reason that 
it blossoms in abudance almost the 
year round. 
The flowers are double, large in size, 
of a soft rosy pink color shading to 
bright rose towards the center. The 
buds are of elegant shape. While not 
so widely known as many other varie¬ 
ties of pink roses, we can readily rec¬ 
ommend it to all rose growers. 
Duchess of Albany or Red La France This 1S t SI r? rt from « e11 
J known La France and differs 
(Hybrid Tea) in color only that it. is of a 
deeper pink tint. The blossoms grow to large size, very symmetrical in shape, 
the petals of which attract wide attention by their beautiful luster. 
The plant is a vigorous grower throwing out very long canes covered with 
deep green foliage. Taken in all it presents a most striking appearance. 
Etoile de France Introduced by J. Pernet Ducher, in the year 1905. and 
a rose that is fast coming into popularity. It is delight- 
(Hybrid Tea) fully fragrant, clear red in color, shading to crimson. 
Supported by long stiff canes it makes an ideal plant for cutting. 
The foliage differs somewhat from that of most other varieties in that it 
is of a bronze color. The combined colors of the flower and foliage make 
it a most attractive variety for planting in the garden or around the house. 
Florence Pemberton This creamy white rose, overspread with a delicate 
pink, darkening to the center and tinged with a 
(Hybrid Tea) peach color at the outer edge of the petals, make 
it one of the most attractive roses of its class. 
The flowers are large in size and inclined to have a high pointed center. 
Since its introduction in 1903, by A. Dickson, it has steadily gained favor 
among rose planters and has been awarded many medals. 
The bush is a strong grower supporting foliage of unusual beauty. This 
rose we feel will meet with the approval of the most critical. 
Francisca Kruger To those wishing to plant a rose of unusual beauty, 
6 blooming in the autumn months, we offer the Francisca 
(Tea) Kruger. It strongly resembles the Catherine Mermet, 
excepting in color, and with its unique deep coppery yellow color, shaded with
