Outside copper with orange suffusion. Remarkably at¬ 
tractive. A large, open long-lasting and very fragrant 
flower. 
WHITE KILLARNEY.—A pure white sport of the 
famous Killarney. The long buds and large open flowers 
surpass in beauty and size even its parent. This is one of 
the six best sellers. 
PAUL NEYRON.—This magnificent rose is by far the 
largest variety in cultivation; very double and full; of a 
beautiful deep rose color and delightfully fragrant; borne 
upon vigorous, upright shoots in great abundance through¬ 
out the entire season. 
FRAU KARL DUSCHKI.—One of the purest white roses 
known and sometimes known as Snow Queen. Very large 
blooms with immense petals of splendid substance. Splen¬ 
did foliage and blooms on good, strong, stiff stems. Up¬ 
right, strong.

imperial pink, deepening as it opens to glowing pink.

LADY HILLINGDON.'—A splendid new yellow variety, 
one of the most prolific cut flowers. Color deep apricot 
yellow, varying to orange. 
LA FRANCE.—The oldest Hybrid Tea, with lovely, 
double, pale pink blooms, more deliciously scented than 
any other. It is still desired by many who remember its 
unsurpassed fragrance. 
TALISMAN.—This vividly colored rose is receiving 
much publicity and it actually does merit all of the fine 
things that are claimed for it. The coloring is truly mar¬ 
velous, being a mixture of orange and yellow in irregular 
proportions, varying so much that no two flowers are 
alike. Farily double, borne on long stems; exceedingly 
sweet scented. When you have once seen a perfect bud of 
Talisman, you cannot rest until you have it in your garden. 
PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER.—The latest of the 
new multi-colored roses, combining many shades of cerise- 
pink, flame scarlet, and yellow; the long buds being beau¬ 
tifully formed, opening slowly, and possessing a delicious 
fragrance. It is certainly quite different from ordinary 
rose varieties and we have been much impressed with its 
brightly colored flowers.
