For training over pergolas, trellises, porches, fences, 
The plant is a solid mass of clear cherry-pink blossoms, sweet in fragrance 
and grow in clusters. The blossoms are of medium size full and double with 
crinkled petals giving a fluffy appearance. 
Duchess de Brabant Widely known as “Dutchess.” This rose is espe¬ 
cially adapted for bedding and decorative planting 
(Hybrid Tea) around the home for the reason that it blossoms in 
abundance 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 varieties of pink roses we can readily recom¬ 
mend it to all rose growers. 
Duchess of Albany or Red La France This is a sport from the well 
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 attracts 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. 
Etoile de Lyon The deep, full, sweetly fragrant flowers of Etoile de Lyon 
make it one of the most charming Tea roses. The flow- 
(Tea) ers are of a deep yellow color blooming abundantly and 
considered equal to that of the well known Marechal Niel. The bush is an 
exceptionally hardy grower and particularly adapted for bedding or mass 
plantings. 
The blossoms offset with a background of deep green foliage leaves nothing 
wanting in the way of beauty. 
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 th? se .wishing to plant a rose of unusual beauty, 
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 
peach pink, it stands distinct from all others. Its buds are of excellent form, 
supported by a strong growing vigorous plant. 
This is certainly a variety of great merit and should not be overlooked when 
planting a rose garden. 
Frau Karl Druschki or Snow Queen This variet y was introduced 
from Europe and has become 
(Hybrid Tea) _ . _ the favorite among white roses. 
Without a doubt it is the best of all white varieties not being marred with a 
tinge of cream as are most all other white varieties. 
The buds are long, bursting forth into unusual large flowers that know no 
equal in beauty. They are of delightful fragrance supported by strong vig-
