The E. G. Hill Company 
LADY ALICE STANLEY 
A beautiful two-tone pink, pure rose on the 
outer petals, shell-pink within; the bud is long, 
pointed and plump and opens into a perfectly 
rounded rose of large size, composed of broad 
petals of heavy texture; the foliage is notice¬ 
ably large and fine. Very high class, and de¬ 
liciously fragrant. 
MRS. CHAS. W. RUSSELL 
In a class by itself just as American Beauty 
is. Bright, deep cerise pink. Enormous in size; 
a wonderful keeper. 
MRS. GEO. SHAWYER 
Wonderfully free in bloom, profuse in pro¬ 
duction of good strong breaks, and of fine 
leathery foliage. 
Color, bright peach-pink; buds long and well 
filled, carried on 3 and 4-foot stems; a first 
favorite with a great many growers, and the 
majority vote for own-root stock of this variety. 
We quote own root only. 
MRS. AARON WARD 
A rose that sells as well on short stems as long, 
and in immense quantities; the ideal corsage va¬ 
riety and very freely used for low table decora¬ 
tions. 
Has the prettiest foliage of any forcing vari¬ 
ety, carried quite up to the flower, which is in¬ 
tense orange in color; one of the loveliest roses 
grown ; nothing like it. 
MLLE. CECILE BRUNNER 
Synonyms, “Mignon” and “Sweetheart.” 
The tiny pink Polyantha rose, extremely use¬ 
ful in the cut flower trade where it has acquired 
new popularity the past few years. Forces nicely 
in the winter time. 
Indispensable for store and retail trade; ap¬ 
peals to exclusive buyers, as well as to the gen¬ 
eral public. 
Mile. Brunner, together with Tip Top another 
“Baby” rose, and Tipperary and Mrs. Aaron 
Ward are the four miniature roses, which should 
be grown by every general florist; they have a 
place which none of the larger roses can fill. 
MY MARYLAND 
Lovely glowing pink ; the freest rose in growth 
and bloom that we know. A splendid bedder. 
A grand summer variety for cutting. 
Our stock is fine, summer propagated and once 
repotted. 
Sells in enormous quantity each year, and is 
in constantly increasing demand, as florists find 
its value as a warm weather cut flower variety. 
MME. COLETTE MARTINET 
Old-golden yellow, holding its color excep¬ 
tionally well as the flower opens; quite free in 
growth and also in bloom; offered in own-root 
stock only, as, like most yellows, it is uncertain 
on manetti. The habit reminds one of Perle des 
Jardines. 
MAMAN COCHET 
The summer blooming pink variety on which 
many florists depend for cutting; the very best 
of out-door roses. 
We carry a large stock of extra well grown 
plants of it—also of the White Cochet. 
OPHELIA 
The queen of fancy roses—orange-salmon in 
color. No forcing variety ever attained such 
wide popularity so promptly, and, up to the 
present, it tops the list for profit. 
No other forcing rose compares with it for 
“coming back” quickly after cutting. 
It has the handsomest foliage in the family, 
“ample,” large and of wonderful texture; noted 
for its splendid stems; it is the most fragrant 
of forcing varieties, with the full “June-rose” 
fragrance, and never drops its petals. 
OPHELIA SUPREME 
The Dailledouze sport of Ophelia.

RADIANCE 
A grand, free-growing, big-habited rose, with 
long stems, and globular blooms of intense rose- 
pink color; very fragrant. A fine Summer va¬ 
riety, and the finest of all the out-door pink bed¬ 
ding roses. Always in heavy demand, showing 
its popularity as a bedder over the whole coun¬ 
try. Fragrance delicious.
