ROSES 
Our soil and climate are ideal for growing rose plants. Those offered are two years old 
and have been grown entirely in the open ground. They have all bloomed the past season, and 
with any reasonable care can hardly fail to bloom again the first season after planting. 
For more detailed descriptions of all except the “Latest Novelties” see the rose section of 
our Catalog No. 2, which will be sent on request to any customer. 
NOVELTIES 
$1.00 each; $8.00 per 10. 
Lyon (H. T.). The greatest and most 
beautiful rose of the century. Coral red 
or salmon pink; chrome yellow at cen¬ 
ter and shrimp pink at the tips. 
Mrs. David Jardine (H. T.). A glorious 
and most charming rose, possessing 
vigorous and erect growth, together 
with marvelously free flowering habit. 
The blooms, which are produced on 
every shoot, are of very large and per¬ 
fect form; beautiful in its several 
stages of development. The color is a 
delightful shade of bright rosy pink, 
shading in outer petals to salmon pink. 
Niles Cochet (T.). Red on edge of petals, 
pink at base; a sport from Maman 
Cochet. Thorough tests have demon¬ 
strated that it is unquestionably far 
superior to any of the other Cochet 
varieties, being a much better bloomer 
and of finer color and substance. 
NEW AND SCARCE VARIETIES 
50c each. 
Dorothy Page Roberts (H. T.). A lovely 
shade of coppery pink, suffused with 
apricot yellow, especially at the base of 
petals, which are very large, massive 
and of great substance. 
George C. Waud (H. T.). Orange vermil¬ 
ion. A shade of color heretofore un¬ 
known among roses. Large, full and 
perfectly formed, with pointed center. 
Grace Molyneux (H. T.). A fascinating 
rose of rare beauty and faultless form. 
The color is apricot, tinted flesh in cen¬ 
ter, but when fully developed the outer 
petals are creamy white on the inside 
with a pink sheen on the reverse. 
Helen Good (T.). A rose that has all the 
good points of the Cochets. The buds 
are of exquisite form; color is a delicate 
yellow, suffused with pink, with deeper 
edge. 
Hugh Dickson (H. P.). A splendid rose; 
brilliant crimson shaded scarlet, petals 
large and smooth, slightly cupped and 
of fine form. 
John Cuff (H. T.). Deep carmine pink 
with a most attractive and distinct yel¬ 
low zone at the base of each petal; 
standing by itself on account of its 
novel and striking color. 
Joseph Hill (H. T.). Pink, shaded salmon; 
outside of petals coppery pink. Blooms 
very large, full and of perfect form. A 
superb variety. 
Lady Ursula (H. T.). A delightful shade 
of flesh pink. Flowers produced on 
every shoot, are very large, full and of 
perfect form, with high center from 
which the petals of great substance 
gracefully reflex.

entrancing beauty. The flower is su¬ 
perb; large, full and perfectly formed. 
The color is beautiful silverv pink. 
Mrs. Myles Kennedy (H. T.). Delicate sil¬ 
very white shaded buff, deeper pink in 
center, with back edge of petals slightly 
deeper shade of pink. A most beautiful, 
distinct and charming addition.

riety that has come to the front with 
great strides. A splendid bloomer and 
superb rose.

the Single Cherokee rose. Possesses all 
the merits of the original.

red; full, double flowers of good form

of great excellence.
