rf a . . , lt 1S one of the most beautiful of the smaller roses. 
T. he flowers are daintily clustered, of high rich rosy pink color tinged at the 
center with a touch of bright salmon. The buds are small, very beautiful and 
are borne in profusion on the plant. 
This flower has a very pleasant fragrance and is a constant bloomer, opens 
out lull and is a variety we highly recommend planting for decorative pur¬ 
poses. The plant is a robust hardy grower adapting itself to all sections. 
Maman Cochet This variety is of French origin, is very hardy and vig- 
/m orous, and one that we feel should be planted in all gar- 
dens or home grounds. 
The buds are long, pointed, supported by long stiff stems, and when in full 
bloom present a very beautiful double flower pinkish-red in color changing 
to silvery rose. Is very sweetly scented. Used quite extensively for cut- 
flower purposes. This variety adapts itself to almost all conditions and is 
one we highly recommend.

Marechal Niel A French production and introduced in 1864. The plant 
. is a strong, healthy grower, supporting an abundance of 
(Noisette) the most beautiful bright golden yellow blossoms, globu¬ 
lar in shape, highly fragrant. 
The buds are very full and especially attractive. Unlike most varieties the 
buds and flowers of this rose seem to increase in color and odor when cut 
from the plant. The foliage is dense and dark green in color. This without a 
doubt is a rose of rare beauty, one that planters should have in their collection. 
Meteor Blooms with great freedom and is very hardy in every respect. 
Its long, strong stems, comparatively free from thorns, to- 
(Hybrid Tea) ge ther with beautiful foliage make it suitable for cut flowers. 
The flower is very hardy and will keep for days after cutting. The blossoms 
are of a deep velvety crimson color having no tinge of purple to mar its color, 
as does a great many other dark red roses. This plant shows to its best 
advantage when massed for landscape effects. 
Paul NeVTOn This variety bears the distinction of being the largest 
. rose grown and is one that every rose grower should 
(Hybrid Perpetual) have; The plant is a strong vigorous grower, covered 
with deep green foliage, blossoming two or three times a season. Flowers 
are massive, opening out in full, showing to advantage their delicate pink 
color shaded to red. Its fragrance is decidedly strong having somewhat the 
sce.nt' of an apple blossom. Extremely hardy.
