BESSIE BROWN 
This magnificent variety 
is an American-raised, 
])cdigrcc seedling. It in¬ 
herits hardiness, constitu¬ 
tion, fine habit, grand foli¬ 
age and superb flowers. 
Where there are so tnany 
good qualities it is difiicult 
to emphasize the leading 
one, but in this variety 
we would name its abilitv 
to resist disease. The 
color is a deep ivory white 
overlaid with a good, 
bright shade of pink. As 
a summer Rose we predict it will 
rank with the best if not actually sur¬ 
pass them.

LADY ROBERTS 
Perhaps the most beautiful, unique 
and interesting of the newer hardy 
ever-blooming Roses. The coloring 
varies nearly as much as in the 
famous French \-ariety “ Beautd In- 
constante.” During the early spring 
months it is usually a soft'French 
white with light saffron shadings in 
the depths of the petals. As the 
season advances the coloring deepens 
to light orange, reddish apricot, and 
in some flowers a dis¬ 
tinct coppery red. A 
profuse bloomer. 
Price, 1st size, 50c. 
each ; 2d size, 30c. 
each ; 3d sii'c, 20c. 
each, $2,00 per doz. 
A beautiful flesh - pink Rose 
shading to J'Vench white. The 
bu<lsare lx‘autiful in the extreme 
and the fully expanded flowers 
are of noble proportions, com¬ 
bining great dc*pth and fullness. 
It is a vigorous, healthy grower, 
very free bloomer, splendid foli¬ 
age, and long, straight stems 
holding the flowers erect. The 
fragrance is deliciously sweet. It 
is hardy and ever-blooming.
