HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, 
HARDY EVER-BLOOMING KOSE, CLOTHILDE SOUPERT 
KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. 
A hybrid Tea Rose, soft pearly-white, lightly tinted with 
lemon in the center, just enough to relieve the white; remarkably 
fragrant, a strong, healthy grower, with bold, beautiful foliage. 
The habit is free; the beautiful, perfectly-shaped flowers are 
borne in profusion on long, graceful stems, so that it will be in¬ 
valuable for cut flowers. Professional florists have been quick to 
perceive the great value of this peerless variety, and it is now 
more eagerly sought after than almost any Rose on the market. 
Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, 
$3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 
EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, 
HERMOSA. 
Although one of the oldest Roses in our list this 
splendid variety has points of excellence not surpassed 
by any other and equalled by few. The color is in 
itself a recommendation; a clear, fresh, bright pink. 
The flowers are fairly double, cupped petals and of 
medium size; they are borne in clusters and in lavish 
profusion. The term “ Monthly ” was long ago ap¬ 
plied to the general class of ever-blooming Roses; but 
even among these Hermosa received the honor of being 
called “ The Pink Daily Rose ” to indicate its per¬ 
sistent blooming. It is hardy in this climate with 
the ordinary protection and is sweetly fragrant. 
Price 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size 30c. 
each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 
One of the most prolific bloomers in our entire list and ad¬ 
mirably adapted to garden or pot culture, beginning to flower 
early and continuing without intermission the entire season if 
kept in healthy growing condition. The flowers are borne in 
sprays, very double and handsomely formed. The outer petals 
are pearly white, shading to a rosy pink in the center. They 
vary sometimes on the same plant from a pure white to deep 
silvery rose. A grand bedding variety.

HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, 
SOUVENIR DU PRESIDENT CARNOT 
Unquestionably the finest Rose of its color intro¬ 
duced in a decade. Whether considered from the 
standpoint of the commercial cut-flower grower or 
from its fitness for garden work, this Rose is without 
a superior, and it is doubtful if it has an equal. The 
growth is vigorous, the foliage dark green and very 
handsome, but the glory of the variety is in its flower. 
It is very large, both in the bud and in the expanded 
flower, double to the center, and opens beautifully. 
The coloring is nearer like Devoniensis than any Rose 
on the market at the present time, but it is lighter 
and approaches nearer to a white. Technically de¬ 
scribed. it could be called a rosy-flesh, very soft in 
the center, and shaded with a lighter flesh at the end of 
the petals. (See cut.) 
Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. 
each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz.
