SELECT EVER-BLOOMING ROSES 
Although wo do not offer as long a list of varieties of Roses as some, yet our stock in quality, condition and extent is un¬ 
equalled, and we contend that our customers are safer in selecting from our list of Choice Tested Varieties than if w$ offered a 
long list, which would of necessity contain many inferior sorts. 
Mary, Countess of Ilchester. The flowers are of great size, with massive 
petals; delicately tea perfumed. The color is a warm carmine-crimson. 
Mme. Jenny Gillemot. The buds are long and pointed; rich nankeen-yellow 
changing to saffron-yellow as the flowers develop. 
Mrs. Amy Hammond. The color is a blend of ivory, amber and apricot. 
The clear amber color is most pronounced, and develops during the best 
part of the flowering season to bright apricot, especially towards the base 
of the flower. Many blooms develop all over this delightful apricot 
shading to such an extent that it is charming beyond description. 
Mrs. David Baillie. Color madder-carmine with delicate veinings on the 
petals, penciled with a deeper shade. ... 
Mrs. Joseph H. Welch. The color is a rich, brilliant rose-pink. The blooms 
arc a model, both as regards size, shape, form and color. 
Mrs. Muir MacKean. A bold, well built flower, perfect in shape and form. 
Color, bright carmine-crimson without shading; a splendid garden rose. 
Mrs. Sam Ross. It may be said to shade from pale straw color to deep 
chamois-yellow, with distinct flush of buff on the reverse of petals.

peach color. Excellent for cutting.

ously.

fused rose with white center, making 
a charming combination; very free 
blooming. Decidedly the best in its

satisfactory plant for winter blooming.
