MME. HARDY—'"'White Lace and Emeralds.” 
MME. HARDY. Damask. (1832.) 4-6 feet. . 
Expertly appraised the finest white damask, and even tho it blooms pro- 
fusely but once in spring, continues among the most popular six roses in 
this catalog. 
“White lace and emeralds and attar of roses,” says Hortense Wild. 
And we cannot resist including here again—“Mme. Hardy is a shrine in the 
garden. Her blossoms like Longfellow’s lovely stars are the ‘forget-me-nots of the 
angels’ ”—Mrs. L. J. Black, Hawthorne, California. 
What could a poor catalog-writer add to that! 3 for 4.75~ ea@enmeaeu 
MME. LOMBARD. Tea. (1877.) 4-5 feet. 
We quote again from Wm. Paul—"Flowers salmon-pink shaded with rose and 
yellow; large, full and globular; perfect in shape and petals, fine, strong stems. One 
of the best.”—and from Thomasville Nurseries, Georgia, “A generation ago, it 
was the unrivalled leader in the lower South.’ Among the finest of our tea 
collection. 3/5 
MRS. ANTHONY WATERER. H. Rugosa. (1898.) 4 - 5 feet. 
Probably still rates the queen of our large and increasing collection of 
Rugosas, for its huge, rich, crimson-purple blooms... its great good health, 
vigor and delightful fragrance. 
While we commit the unpardonable sin cf repetition (page Don Harris 
B. Darcy), we include still once again the following quotations from a 
charming, anonymous lady in San Marino, California—lI could never pass 
Mrs. Waterer without a smile. She always seemed to me an Edwardian dowager in 
lavender ruffles, ensconced on a green plush sofa—so very mauve decade, so very 
lad ylike.” 
And one year later—‘Mrs. Anthony Waterer is bestowed with her inimit- 
able purple tissue adornments. When I read in the catalog of Mr. Smith having 
a hedge of 20—I felt as tho it were impossible—like having duplicates of your 
favorite great aunt.” 3 for 5.00 each 2.00
