THE DOCTOR — This is considered by many to be the most beautifully 
colored of all roses. The long, pointed buds open into simply enormous, yet 
graceful blooms, so fragrant that you can detect them many yards away. 
It is a pink with a life, an iridescence, a sheen that is beyond description. 
Each flower is so perfect, so gorgeous, that you will consider it almost 
priceless. It is far more beautiful than can be described. 
AMI QUINARD — A variety which is here to stay, beats all others; best 
near black Rose in our estimation. Deep velvety crimson, fragrant and 
very lasting. A vigorous shrubby plant, with almost single flowers of deep 
blackish scarlet. 
MC GREDY’S YELLOW — Yellow Roses have been getting better and 
better year by year, and now they reach their supreme beauty in McGredy’s 
Yellow. Soft, pure, adorable. Very artistic and gracefully shaped, strong 
grower, abundant bloomer. 
COLUMBIA — Full petaled rose-pink buds deepening as the blossom 
opens; erect on long stems; vigorous, intensely fragrant, and a good keeper.

the vivid color of coppery red and yellow. Very hardy, vigorous, healthy 
growth. Has rich raspberry perfume. Keeps well when cut for indoor 
enjoyment.

flower produced in great profusion throughout summer. 
Deliciously perfumed. Vigorous upright grower. An ex- 
cellent red Rose.

ers are clear brilliant, unfading pink, and as a cut flower 
it retains its form and lasts longer than any other 
Rose we know. A winner of many awards. The growth 
is vigorous, the foliage healthy, and it blooms all the 
time from early summer to frost.

sturdy and hardy and a good grower. Buds are long, 
borne in abundance and open slowly into gorgeous 
blooms.

white rose for the middle west. Buds and flowers glis- 
tening, snowy white. Foliage exceptionally shiny and 
clean, seems to bloom much longer than any other 
hybrid tea.

existence, a clear pink with just a trace of salmon to give it a 
warm glow. Delightfully fragrant. The blooms are perfect in bud
