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. 
E. J. LUDDING. Deep pink buds opening to 
large high-centered blooms. This rose is a very 
vigorous grower with extremely good foliage. 
INNOCENCE. Huge, single, white flowers with 
immense centers of golden yellow anthers and 
red filaments. A very chaste and lovely bloom. 
IRISH ELEGA?TCE. A single flower similar to 
Irish Firefiame, but lighter in color. Bronzy pink 
buds, opening with shades of apricot and pink. 
Corsage and boutonnierre rose. 
ISOBEL. Long conical bud of carmine-orange 
opening into a large single flower of clear coral- 
pink. Bush grows tall and flowers have long 
stems. Another of the popular single roses. 
I. ZINGARI. Flower semi-single, orange-scar¬ 
let, continuously produced in corymbs. Foliage 
dark green, stems claret. Especially vivid shade, 
resembling the colors of the 1. Zingari Cricket 
Club, for which it was named. 
KONIGIN LUISE. An exceptionally large, full 
double, globular, well built white flower that 
lasts a long time. Of strong, vigorous habit of 
growth. The flowers are carried erect on strong 
stiff stems. A splendid rose for the garden and 
for cutting. 
LEONARD BARRON. Salmon and copper. The 
forerunner of a new strain of roses. The blooms, 
5 inches or over in diameter, and with myiiads 
of petals, make this one of the largest and fullest 
everblooming roses grown. The color is salmon, 
copper, and shell-pink, well blended. Its fra¬ 
grance has been defined as red cedar. A won¬ 
derful bloomer. Allow the great flowers to open 
on the plant before cutting, as the buds will not 
open in water. 
LUCIA ZULOAGA. Vivid beyond description. 
Deep velvet petals of vermillion with a dash of 
gold at the base. 
LULU. Very long slender buds of coral-apricot 
in profusion. The petals of the buds flare out 
gracefully at the end forming a very distinctive 
flower. Opens to a semi-double bloom of con¬ 
stant color. It is exquisite.

ovoid; flower large, double, full, lasting, fra¬ 
grant, velvety crimson, borne singly on long 
stems. 
McGREDY’S SCARLET. The flowers are of 
good size, full double, of a brilliant scarlet, or- 
angy-yellow at the base of petals. The color 
varies some under changing weather conditions 
but is always beautiful. 
MME. NICHOLAS AUSSEL. A marvelously 
beautiful rose with a unique color of bright cop¬ 
pery red in a very long, shapely, tapering bud 
that develops into a large, full, double flower of 
exquisite opalescent salmon pink. Growth vigor¬ 
ous and healthy, free and continuous bloomer. An 
outstanding new rose. 
MRS. HERBERT STEVENS. Fine white flow¬ 
ers tinted with pale lemon at center and sweet¬ 
ly perfumed. One of the most beautiful white 
roses grown, and as hardy as the average Hybrid 
Tea. Should be in every garden. 
OLD GOLD. Corsage and boutonniere rose of 
old gold color. An old favorite. 
PINK DAWN. Exquisite long pointed bud, 
bright pink with gold at base of petal. Fine for 
cutting. 
ROSETTE DELIZY. Small slender buds and 
firm, high-centered flowers of heavy texture, deep 
yellow with dark rose-pink outer petals. An at¬ 
tractive variegated variety which is especially 
striking in the autumn. 
SOUV. D’ALEXANDRE BERNAIX. Large, 
cupped blooms, full to the center; of crimson, 
shaded velvety purple. Splendid perfume and 
fine lasting qualities are two of its virtues. A 
good growing symmetrical plant. 
SOUV. DE MME. C. CHAMBARD. The open 
buds of coral and yellow open to a fully double 
flower of coral - rose - pink, with a satiny sheen 
which keeps the flower “alive” for days. De¬ 
licious fragrance. The bushes are upright in 
growth and the blooms are produced singly on 
rigid, erect stems.

chrome-yellow, heavily marked with carmine; the 
open flower is rich golden yellow and holds its 
color well. Sweet briar fragrance. The blooms 
come freely on long cutting stems. The plant 
is extremely hardy and of symmetrical growth. 
An outstanding yellow. 
THOMAS A. EDISON. The blooms are large, 
fully double and fragrant. There are two shades 
of pink concerned, a lovely pale silvery pink on 
one side of the petals and just clear pink on the 
other side. It is a big flower on a big strong 
plant. A great rose named for a great man. 
VESUVIUS. The dark colored single rose. 
Bright scarlet-crimson with a golden center. 
Sweetly fragrant, and the flowers last for several 
days when cut. A tall free-blooming bush.
