Standard Sverblooming ddoses 
These are the cream of the old reliable tested varieties of roses. They can¬ 
not fail to please and at our close prices no one can afford to not have a rose garden. 
Continuous bloomers. Price; First Grade Plants, 30c each. Medium Grade Plants, 
20c each. 
ABOL. Delightfully sweet-scented large flow¬ 
er, frequently tinged light blush in the bud 
stage, but opening to a pure white, double flower. 
Vigorous bush. 
AMI QUINARD. A black lustered red rose. 
The deep crimson-maroon background is over¬ 
cast with a soft blackish sheen that produces a 
variety of effects as the sunlight plays over it. 
The slender, pointed buds are born on long 
stems, often singly, sometimes in candelabras. 
This velvety black beauty opens cup-shaped, 
semi-double, and is distinctly fragrant. 
AUTUMN. Most extraordinarily colored rose¬ 
bud, burnt sienna, opening into a riot of golden 
yellow, stained crimson, with center scarlet 
orange. During warm weather the open flowers 
have a curious striped appearance and in cooler 
weather crimson and gold. Flowers on long 
stiff stems for cutting. Plant is extremely 
vigorous with fine foliage. The finest multicolor 
rose. 
BETTY UPRICHARD. A charming, semi-dou¬ 
ble rose with copper-red buds, opening to lovely 
bi-color flowers; soft salmon-pink on inner-sur¬ 
face of the petals and glowing orange-carmen 
outside. Vigorous grower. 
BRIARCLIFF. A brilliantly colored sport of 
Columbia. Deep pink and longer - pointed 
buds than Columbia. Same vigorous bush. 
CALEDONIA. We consider this to be probably 
the finest white rose ever grown. The beautifully 
shaped, long, snowy-white buds are exquisite 
to behold and the blossoms possess a delicious 
fragrance. Healthy, vigorous plant with long 
stems for cutting. 
CHAS. K. DOUGLAS. A rose that is highly 
recommended. Color, strikingly carmine-scarlet 
that does not fade. A fine grower, delightful 
foliage and resistant to disease. A very profuse 
bloomer. 
COLUMBIA. Blooms with great freedom, its 
blooms of the very largest size imaginable are 
carried on long, stiff, erect stems. Very fragrant, 
clear Imperial Pink. A peculiarity of the variety 
is that the shades all become more intense until 
the full maturiety of the open flower. 
DAINTY BESS. The five petalled flowers are 
delicate pink with a brownish-red overcast, and 
a contrasting center of wine-red stamens. One 
of the finest new single roses which are be¬ 
coming very popular. 
DAME EDITH HELEN. Though there are 
many fine pink roses, this one stands nead and 
shoulders above the rest. Big full double flowers 
of glowing pink, very freely produced on a very 
vigorous bush. Its immense size, fully double 
blooms and delightful fragrance, make it a rose 
for every garden. Long lasting when cut. 
EDITH NELLIE PERKINS. One of the dain¬ 
tiest and loveliest of garden roses. Long-pointed 
buds of cream and orange; when open shows the 
inside of the petals to be salmon-pink with a gold 
base — a beautiful combination. The fragrant 
flowers come singly on long stems, fine for cut¬ 
ting. Fine strong plant. One of the most hand¬ 
some roses we grow. 
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. 
E. G. HILL. Here is the finest new red rose 
in several years with immense flowers of very 
lasting, dazzling scarlet, never fading or turning 
blue, but actually becoming deeper red as it 
opens. The flowers are borne on long stems 
and are deliciously fragrant. 
ETOILE DE HOLLAND. Brilliant red blooms 
of magnificent size, perfect in bud, half open or 
fully developed flower. One of the best new 
garden roses. 
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY (Star Spangled Banner). 
Color cherry red; very double; petals beauti¬ 
fully recurved. This rose has largely taken the 
place of American Beauty, being a stronger 
grower, producing, as it does, a very wonderful 
bloom that keeps longer than most varieties. 
GOLDEN DAWN. Wonderful bush and good 
foliage. The oval buds are rich, sunflower yel¬ 
low, quite heavily suffused with cerise before 
opening, developing into splendid, large double 
flowers of light lemon yellow; richly tea scented. 
Near the head of the class in yellows. 
GOLDEN OPHELIA. Bright, golden yellow, 
medium pointed buds of beautiful shape. A good 
bloomer. 
GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. An old favorite red 
rose, always covered with its bright cherry crim¬ 
son flowers, which often cover the plant, and are 
intensely fragrant with a rich perfume that so 
many roses lack. Very hardy. 
HADLEY. In color it is a deep, velvety crim¬ 
son, retaining its brilliancy at all seasons of the 
year. The variety is double and buds are well 
formed. Very fragrant. 
ILCHESTER, MARY, COUNTESS OF. One 
of the very best pink roses. Very double, intense 
shade of pink. Constant bloomer, healthy grow¬ 
er. 
IMPERIAL POTENTATE. Firm-petaled blooms 
of dark, shining rose-pink, shaded lighter on re¬ 
verse of petals; fragrant. Erect branching plant. 
Good foliage. Healthy, hardy. 
J. J. L. MOCK. Giant carmine-pink blooms, 
with silvery rose inner surface. Healthy vig¬ 
orous bush. 
JULIEN POTIN. Sometimes called “Golden 
Pernet.” Large size, pointed, clear yellow buds 
open to a splendid golden yellow bloom which 
holds its color well. Very fragrant. 
KAISERIN AUGUSTE VIKTORIA. A beau¬ 
tiful rose with elegant large pointed buds and 
very full double flowers, delicate creamy white, 
deliciously fragrant. The plant is a strong
