New Bedding R oses 
RELIANCE. (Hill.) 
This variety is a very strong grower which 
throws up heavy canes 3 to 4 feet long, topped with 
very large flowers of a lovely glowing pink with 
creamy white base to the petals; the outer petals 
are extremely large and shell-shaped, and give 
the half-open flower agreatspread. Foliagelargeleath- 
ery and beautiful. We feel sure that this rose will 
prove a grand addition to the Bedding Class, for 
it is, first of all, a strong, free grower, the flower 
is large and full and of good substance, and it is, 
withal, extremely beautiful and lasting.

LYON ROSE. Pernetiana. (Mme Melanie 
Soupert X S. of Soleil d’ Or.) 
Perpetual flowering and fragrant. Large and 
vigorous, producing heavy, thorny canes; has beau¬ 
tiful long buds, tipped with coral-red, chrome-yellow 
at the base; flowers large and full with broad petals. 
In the open rose the color is superb, salmon-pink, 
shaded with chrome. The demand in Europe has 
been so heavy that stocks of it are very low. 
JEAN NOTE. (H. T.) 
Chrome-yellow center, deepening) to reddish- 
orange, edges of petals creamy yellow; large and 
full; extremely beautiful. 
MRS. A. R. WADDELL. (H. T.) 
A strong, rampant grower with foliage that is 
ornamental in itself; buds long and pointed, rosy 
scarlet, opening coppery salmon; large and semi¬ 
double, but a wonderful keeper. One of the show¬ 
iest roses extant; a splendid forcer. 
CHATEAU DES CLOS VOUGEOT. 
(H. T.) 
The most wonderful color and texture ever seen 
in a rose; looks as if cut out of heavy velvet with 
a color shading from rosy red to a blackish crim¬ 
son; should have a careful test indoors, and we are 
sure it will become one of the most popular of 
garden roses, quite in a class by itself, blooming 
continuously in crops closely following one another. 
Very fragrant. 75 cents each; $60 per 100. 
DR. O’DONEL BROWNE. (H. P.) 
Color, carmine rose, strongly perfumed. A giant 
grower, every growth producing a bloom which is 
full, yet always opens well. Promises to rank high 
on account of its freedom; classed as an H. T., but 
with great preponderence of H. P. blood. 
FLORENCE E. COULTHWAITE. (H. T.) 
An exquisitely beautiful bedding variety that 
can be classed as a substantial “fancy;” the blooms 
are large and full, of perfectly imbricated form, the 
edges of the petals beautifully ruffled. Color, deep 
cream, washed over with bright rose, producing 
a luminous effect which is very beautiful; form ex¬ 
cellent. 
GEORGE C. WAUD. (H. T.) 
Color glowing orange vermilion; flowers large 
and full with high pointed center, and strong tea 
fragrance; growth very strong; very free in bloom. 
Won the Gold Medal of the N. R. S. of Great 
Britain. 
GRACE MOLYNEUX. (H. T.) 
Color, creamy apricot, flesh in center; a strong, 
free grower and extremely free in bloom; a grand 
garden rose. 
JOHN CUFF. (H. T.) 
Buds long and pointed and produced in marvel¬ 
ous profusion; color, warm deep carmine, base of 
petals yellow; a very beautiful flower of very large 
size.
