THE E. G. HILL COMPANY 
Wm. R. Smith -Seedling from Kaiser in X Maman 
Cochel. As a summer bedder this variety stands 
above all others; produces immense quantities of fine 
flowers of creamy white with pink shadings; the strong¬ 
est growing of all the summer bedders, making a fine 
branching bush in one year’s time. Has firm, glossy 
foliage and long flower stems. 
Wm. Notting— A grand bedder; large blooms of 
H. 1’. type, in bright, rosy cerise 
White Killarney -Sport from Pink Killarney—grand 
in every way; the white rose of the century; superior 
to its parent in every particular; words can not de¬ 
scribe its imposing grandeur. 
Wellesley—Beautiful, intense salmon pink; a good 
forcing variety. 
W. E. Lippiatt—Brilliant velvety crimson, shaded 
deeper; large and full on erect stems. 
Polyanthas, or “Baby” Roses 
We have many forms of roses now, but for a lasting show of blossom, or as bedding roses, 
none can beat the dwarf polyanthas. From early June until the end of September they are one 
mass of bloom; full as they can possibly be for a fortnight or so; a slight rest, and then again a 
full crop of flowers that even rivals the begonias and zonal pelargoniums. They are also the 
simplest of roses to grow. Planted in fairly good soil the bed is a fixture, and only needs a little 
judicious pruning and feeding. For prices, see 
“Baby Rambler” (Mine. Levavasseur). 
Mrs. Taft—An improvement on “Baby Rambler,” a 
brighter shade of color, a continuous bloomer in large 
clusters from spring till frost. A beautiful running 
mate for Orleans. 
Phyllis- A lovely bright pink cluster rose; a lovely 
pot-plant, totally different from Mine. Levavasseur 
in foliage and flowers. 
Clotilde Soupert—The only rival of Hermosa as a 
bedder and market pot-plant; white, with pink center. 
Everybody’s rose. 
Catherine Zeimet—This is surely a beauty and a 
great addition to the Baby Ramblers, grows to a height 
of 20 inches and produces double, pure white flowers in 
abundance. It has a fragrance similar to Hyacinths. 
Of free, compact growth and very attractive. Produces 
a sheet of white color.

Cyclope—A pretty little bush plant of unique color, 
purple and heliotrope found in no other rose; the petals 
have rays of white. 
Jessie—A dwarf polyantha which is ideal for bed¬ 
ding or for pots. Flowers produced in huge clusters; 
color like that of Richmond, and does not fade; a 
superb variety. 
Orleans—The showiest and prettiest of the pink 
“Baby” roses; this charming and dainty little variety 
is of beautifully rounded habit and is a huge bouquet 
of brilliant bloom, deep geranium red with showy cen¬ 
ter of pure white, florets not crowded, and of beautiful 
arrangement. 
Zelia Bourgeois—An ideal sort for pot culture, hav¬ 
ing a round, compact habit, with very full trusses of 
evenly disposed flowers, which are small, very full, 
perfect in form and of glistening snow white.

AVIATEUR BLERIOT 
Wichuriana (Hybrid) 
Saffron yellow, center golden yellow; of medium 
size in nice trusses. A vigorous climber. The finest 
yellow in the Wichuriana family. 
EXCELSA 
(Rambler) 
It is a good deal to claim for a rose, but we are 
within bounds when we describe Excelsa as a bril¬ 
liant Crimson Rambler flower on glossy, varnished 
Wichuriana foliage. 
The defects of Crimson Rambler are its unsightly 
foliage in unseasonable weather, and its defoliation by 
insets; the infusion of Wichuriana blood assures an 
ornamental climber which is nearly evergreen, and this 
will assure this lovely crimson-scarlet pillar rose a 
place in every American garden, for it is quite hardy 
in addition to all its other fine points. 
CLIMBING WHITE COCHET 
A climbing sport of the grandest of white garden 
roses; already in heavy demand. 
CLIMBING BABY RAMBLER 
(Syn., Miss Messman) 
A true ever-blooming Crimson Rambler; said to 
be a sport from “Baby Rambler,” retaining its ever- 
blooming character. 
SHOWER OF GOLD 
A very vigorous grower, producing extremely long 
laterals covered with beautiful glossy Wichuriana foli¬ 
age; color, deep golden yellow and orange, in fine
