THE E. G. HILL COMPANY 
9 
MME. RAVARY 
One of the very best of yellow bedders; has long, 
slender buds, opening into large, double flowers with 
orange-yellow centers; not new, but extra good. In 
habit like Testout. 
MARIE DELESALLE 
As free in growth as Teplitz, with larger foliage 
and flowering almost continuously; buds long and 
elegant. 
It is a wonderful keeper both on the bush and after 
cutting, owing to the firm, heavy texture of the petals, 
and is almost thornless. 
MME. VALERE BEAUMEZ 
Of fine growth, combined with an unusual and de¬ 
lightful color, light flame with golden center, shaded 
glowing salmon. Form full and beautifully rounded, 
of large size on heavy, upright canes; the foliage is 
very handsome, thick and glossy, of beautiful dark 
green. A “Golden Cochet.” 
NATALIE BOTTNER 
Bright lemon yellow, on long, stiff stems, very vig¬ 
orous and very free; it combines the pre-eminent 
qualities of the two celebrated roses, Druschki and 
Kaiserin. 
We have had some grand bloom on our plants, and 
think the rose deserving a careful test for Summer 
cutting; of most unusual promise. 
PREST. VIGNET 
Vigorous in growth, of free-branching habit with 
very small thorns and deep green foliage; large, full 
and globular, generally borne singly on long, stiff stems ; 
color, deep carmine-red, shaded bright poppy-red; a 
charming garden rose. 
ROBIN HOOD 
(E. G. Hill) 
This new rose has a glorious rosy-scarlet color 
that is at once soft and bright and lasting; the bloom 
is full and of the beautiful build of the H. P.’s. 
It is a grand grower, heavy caned and profuse in 
foliage; flowers very freely produced; we feel sure this 
will prove a delightful companion for Gen. McArthur 
and Rhea Reid.

Any florist growing for profitable cut bloom is strongly advised to use grafted stock, except 
SUNBURST, which has been found best on own root.
