THE E.G.HILL COMPANY 
MMEi GAMON. (Gamon.) 
Pure Tea, with long, handsome bud, on a stiff, 
wiry but graceful stem; the habit is beautiful and 
it is a free grower and wonderfully free in bloom. 
Color apricot, shaded and washed in Golden Sun¬ 
set color. 
MLLE. SIMONE BEAUMEZ. (H. T.) 
(Pernet-Ducher.) 
A vigorous grower with long willowy stems; 
very large flowers of exquisite form, high pointed 
center and outer petals beautifully reflexed—flesh 
white with shining texture; a beautiful variety. 
ROSEMARY. (E. G. Hill.) (H. T.)

ommended for bedding. Very large and very

(See cut, page 5.) 
SOUVENIR DE MARIA ZAYAS. (H. T.) 
(Soupert & Notting.) 
A robust, vigorous grower, producing a long 
pointed bud on a long stiff stem. Flowers very 
large, full and of perfect form. Color, bright car¬ 
mine, veined darker. Very fragrant and free. One 
of the best. 
TRIER. (P. Lambert.) 
Semi-double, creamy white, producing large 
clusters, free and continuous. Mr. Lambert's new 
Rambler well deserves a careful trial, as growers 
are eager for a white variety in this class. 
WM. SHEAN. (H. T.) (Alex. Dickson.) 
A fine grower, throwing up long stiff canes, 
crowned with large pointed flowers of Killarney 
pink; full, free and perpetual; one of the very largest 
of roses. Color, grand. 
Novelties of 1906 
$10 per 100, except where noted. 
CHERRY RIPE. (Paul & Son.) 
An extraordinarily free-flowering FI. T., branch¬ 
ing in habit, vigorous and hardy, and as free as a 
Tea rose. The flowers are medium in size, well 
formed, globular, light rosy crimson, almost the 
color of Alfred Colomb; as fragrant as American 
Beauty, which it much resembles in form. Every 
shoot produces a bloom; one of the most promising 
roses. $15 per 100. 
CONRAD F. MEYER. (Hybrid Rugosa.) 
This variety surpasses all the others of the Ru¬ 
gosa family in its fullness of form and in the beauty 
of its color which is pure silvery pink, and very 
fragrant. The hardiness of this type, together with 
its beauty as an ornamental shrub makes this an 
invaluable new sort. All florists who cater to a 
general plant trade will find this variety extremely 
useful; it will not mildew nor black-spot, and is 
handsome in foliage and bloom. 
GRUSS AN SANGERHAUSEN. (Mueller.) 
(H. T.) 
Flower large, full and elegantly formed; color 
reddish scarlet, center deeper; buds long and 
pointed; very free and continuous; foliage and habit 
excellent. This looks like the red rose for the 
million. $15 per 100. 
INSTITUTEUR SIRDEY. (H. T.) 
(Pernet-Ducher.) 
Free, upright branching habit; bud reddish yel¬ 
low, opening deep gold; large and full; one of the 
most promising of “fancy" forcers. Its appearance 
in the bench, slender, stiff, upright stems, free 
growth, profusion of buds, all look like an excellent 
winter variety. 
J. B. CLARK. (H. T.) (Hugh Dickson.) 
“The growth is strong and upright, very vig¬ 
orous, making a large, handsome bush; the foliage 
is broad and stout; bronzy-green in the young state, 
changing to dark green. The blooms are very large 
and beautifully formed; the petals which are very 
smooth, are of great size and depth: flower very 
full and long, with high-pointed center. Color 
unique, being intense scarlet shaded blackish-crim¬ 
son; strongly fragrant.” 7J4 inches in diameter by 
5 inches deep. $25 per 100.

pointed. 
MME. MELANIE SOUPERT. (H. T.) 
A good grower, quickly forming a well branched 
bush, foliage bronzy-green, flowers very large, al¬ 
most full and globular; immense cupped petals; 
color golden yellow suffused bright pink. An ex¬ 
traordinarily fine rose, promising to force readily, 
as the growths are slender, stiff and freely pro¬ 
duced. 
MME. PHILIPPE RIVOIRE. (H. T.) 
Very free branching in growth, foliage deep 
bronzy-green, flowers large, full and globular; color 
apricot yellow, center nankin yellow, reverse of
