LATEST INTRODUCTIONS 
Two of the greatest new roses for many years. 
$1.50 each. 
MAD. EDOUARD HERRIOTT 
(DAILY MAIL) 
“Buds coral red, shaded with yellow at the 
base; the open flowers of medium size, semi¬ 
double, are of a superb coral-red, shaded 
with yellow and bright rosy-scarlet passing 
to shrimp-red.” It is a vigorous grower of 
spreading habit; foliage green bronzed. Buds 
are long, slender and pointed, “color like 
sunshine on a copper-red metal.” Shows a 
combination of colors never before known in 
any rose. Belongs to the Pernetiana class. 
Won the Gold Cup offered by the London 
“Daily Mail” for best new rose at Inter¬ 
national Horticultural Exposition. Was 
awarded the Gold Medal of the National 
Rose Society of England last year. 
Capt. Hayward (H. P.). Strong grower and 
free bloomer. Color is a rich crimson scar¬ 
let. 
Countess of Derby (H. T.). Salmon center, 
shading off to delicate peach. Pointed 
buds. Very fragrant. 
Earl of Warwick (H. T.). Soft salmon pink, 
shaded in center with vermilion. Large 
and full. 
Irish Beauty (Misc.). Single, pure white 
with yellow stamens. Large and free 
flowering. Deliciously fragrant. 
Lady Hillingdon (T.). A fine, deep yellow 
variety; buds graceful and slender; very 
free bloomer. Foliage narrow; growth 
free and vigorous. 
Lyon (H. T.). The greatest and most beau¬ 
tiful rose of the century. Coral red or 
salmon pink; chrome yellow at center and 
shrimp pink at the tips.

rose with silvery shading, large and double; 
an immense flower with fine petals and 
good form. 
♦Moschata Nivea (Misc.). Flowers single, in 
large clusters; white with black stamens; 
musky scented. 
GEORGE DICKSON (H. T.). 
“A majestic rose, whose imperious size, 
contour, color and rare perfume—each the 
last word in what a rose should be—at once 
stamp it as a perfect rose and a rose with¬ 
out a peer. Its vigorous growth and thick, 
leathery, beech-green foliage bespeak rare 
constitution. It produces huge blooms with 
enormous shell-shap.ed petals symmetrically 
arranged in the much-to-be-desired globular 
type. Color is velvety black scarlet-crimson 
with brilliant scarlet reflexed tips, with heavy 
and uniquely pure crimson-maroon veining 
on the reverse.” 
With all the splendid creations of recent 
years it has been generally recognized that 
the ideal Red Rose was yet to make its ap¬ 
pearance. This one variety combines every¬ 
thing to be desired in color, size, form, fra¬ 
grance, beautiful foliage and vigorous habit. 
Was awarded the Gold Medal by the National 
Rose Society of England.

ous grower.
