On the following pages you will find listed and described some of the best of the newer 
Roses and a select list of the older favorites. This list is not large, but each variety has 
been selected as the best in its class. 
Most of the finest Roses are Hybrid Teas (H.T.) and all varieties described in this cata¬ 
log belong to this group unless some other abbreviation follows the name. These are 
the Everblooming Roses, so called because they flower continuously, or at brief inter¬ 
vals, all through the spring, summer and fall. 
All varieties in this list are one year old field grown budded plants. These plants are 
of the highest quality, and being younger and having a better balanced root system in 
relation to the top, they re-establish themselves quicker and perform better than two 
year old plants. 
These plants are offered in the heavy and medium sizes and except as noted, they are 
priced as follows: 
Heavy Grade 50 cents each; $5.50 per dozen; $40.00 per 100. 
Medium Grade 35 cents each; $3.50 per dozen; $25.00 per 100. 
6 plants at the dozen rate. 50 plants at the 100 rate.

Auslrian Copper. (Austrian Brier) It 
makes a large shrub 4 or 5 feet high and 
as much across, and although it blooms 
but once in the spring, it is one of the 
most beautiful plants imaginable at that 
time, studded as it is with small, single, 2- 
inch blooms of the most brilliant copper- 
scarlet color. Do not prune it. Just leave it 
alone for best results. 
Catalonia. A new color in Roses. The buds 
are a deep shade of rich carmine stained 
orange. The 50 petaled flower is of vel¬ 
vety orange-scarlet. This may not describe 
the color exactly, but it is the most vivid 
color we have ever seen in a rose. The 
plant is thrifty and healthy and produces 
stems of good length. The growth is 
spreading. 
Cynthia. Fully double blooms of oriental- 
red on long stems. Very desirable as a cut 
flower. 
Catherine Kordes. Perfectly formed buds 
and flowers of deep cherry-red, borne on 
fine stems for cutting. We recommend this 
Rose as being the best in its class. 
Christopher Stone. A new Rose of merit. 
A vigorous upright bush, producing a pro¬ 
fusion of bright velvety scarlet flowers on 
fine stems for cutting. 
Diane de Broglie. Beautifully formed 
buds and flowers of orange-pink. Strong 
upright plant, long strong stems for cut¬ 
ting. 
Dainty Bess. The name is very appropri¬ 
ate—the slender, rosy-salmon buds are 
held daintily on thin, wiry stems. When 
open the flowers have broad, fimbriated 
petals of pale rose. The large cluster of 
wine-colored stamens add a distinctive 
touch to this delightful rose. 
Duquesa de Penaranda. This glorious Rose 
is an entrancing blend of apricot-orange 
and dark pink, opening to a gloriously 
beautiful bloom of coppery-apricot. The 
plant is vigorous and has plenty of light 
green, leathery, disease resistant foliage. A 
good keeper when cut. A favorite with all 
who know it.
