year. We have selected the following list as the most promising of the very newest 
roses and can recommend each of them as a distinct advance in the rose world. There

in their own gardens. They all bloom successively throughout the season. Price, First 
Grade Plants, 50c each; Medium Grade Plants, 40c each. 
CONDESSA DE SASTAGO. The bud is like a 
ball of gold with brilliant red stripes. Vvne i 
fully open the fiery red copper on the inside of 
the petals and rich gold on the reverse makes a 
breath-taking contrast. Here is a highly colored 
rose with an alluring, spicy scent. The plant 
is unusually strong and upright in growth witn 
excellent foliage. 
CYNTHIA. This variety is best described as 
an improved Charles P. Kilham. The attractive 
buds develop into splendid full flowers of a rich 
Oriental red color. Its free flowering habit and 
attractive color make it very desirable. 
DAILY MAIL SCENTED ROSE. This exceed¬ 
ingly fragrant rose is intense velvety crimson 
shaded with maroon and vermillion. The long 
tightly rolled buds are exquisitely formed al¬ 
though they open rather quickly to an open flow¬ 
er of few petals, which keeps a long time when 
cut. It is a tall, vigorous grower, and produces 
richly scented flowers in profusion. 
DUQUESA DE PENARANDA. During the sum¬ 
mer the pointed buds are a blend of orange 
and dark pink, opening to splendid blooms 
of coppery apricot. In the fall, great brownish 
buds open slowly to finely formed flowers, of a 
luscious cinnamon-peach shade. It is sweetly 
perfumed. Words cannot truly describe this 
beautiful rose of such an unusual color. 
EDITOR McFarland. We believe this 
to be the finest pink garden rose in the 
world today. Many perfectly formed, spar¬ 
kling pink flowers are produced through¬ 
out the growing season. They come on nice 
long cutting stems, are fragrant, and as 
cut flowers, retain their form for a long 
while. The plants are as near Radiance in 
growth as any other rose. Exceptionally 
meritorious. 
EDITH KRAUSE. Flowers large, double, 
cupped, high-centered, very lasting, moderately 
fragrant, greenish white, borne singly on long 
stems. Foliage abundant, large, glossy. Few 
thorns. Growth very vigorous. 
GOLDEN RAPTURE. A splendid new yellow 
rose of upright growth. The pure yellow buds 
are of ideal form. Beautiful large double flowers 
which last without fading. A splendid variety for 
cutting and for bedding. 
HINRICH GAEDE. Long, pointed buds of 
Nasturtium-red color. Large, double, high-cen¬ 
tered flowers of ideal shape of a color unusual in 
any other rose. A rich luminous vermillion, shad¬ 
ed golden yellow such as is found only in highly 
colored zinnias. A free and continuous bloomer. 
KATHERINE PECHTOLD. Lovely, exquisitely 
pointed buds of old gold and bronzy orange, 
opening into blooms of a lovely coppery-orange 
flushed with rose and gold. In addition to its 
showy color it has a delicately sweet fragrance 
reminiscent of the old fashioned Clove Pinks. 
Thrifty, vigorous, upright growing plant, pro¬ 
ducing long stems for cutting. 
MRS. L. B. CODDINGTON. One of the very 
finest new pink roses. Buds urn-shaped opening 
into large, clear, pink blooms. An outstanding 
new introduction. Strong growth.
