FANCHER CREEK NURSERIES. 125 ding. No admirer of roses should be with- out it. Betty. (Hybrid Tea.) Introduced by Messrs. Dickson & Sons, Belfast, Ireland, and regarded by them as the grandest of the many valuable and new roses of merit, which they have originated. It stands in the same class as the Belle Sie- brecht and Killarney, with the exception that it is a more robust grower and is truly of a unique color, being of a ruddy gold, overspread with golden yellow. It is deliciously perfumed, extremely large and of glorious form and blooms contin- uously from early Spring till late in the Fall. It is an extremely vigorous grower and is regarded by rose connoisseurs as the greatest novelty of recent introduc- tion.

Madame Caroline Testout. See page 130. Climbing Bridesmaid. (Tea.) Identical with its well-known, popular and unrival- ed parent, the Bridesmaid with the ex- ception,that it is a thrifty climber; in every respect a grandiose. Climbing Meteor. (Hybrid Tea.) Climbing Meteor is the acme of all red climbing roses. It is a free, persistent bloomer and will make a growth of from ten to fifteen feet in a season. At the head of the list of all roses for summer blooming, loaded with deep, rich red flowers all the time. Climbing Mademoiselle Cecil Brunner. (Polyantha.) An exact counterpart of the great favorite bush rose of the same name, except that it is a very much stronger grower. Flowers perfectly double, rosy pink, petals in bud daintily reflexed. De- lightfully fragrant and in every respect a most exquisite rose. Climbing Madame Caroline Testout. (Hy- brid Tea.) This most wonderful rose is identical with that most beautiful and very free flowering rose Madame Caroline Testout, except that it is a most vigor- ous climber. Color bright clear pink. Empress of China. (Miscellaneous.) A very hardy, free-flowering climbing rose, of good size; blooming in clusters; color soft red, becoming lighter as the flowers open; an entirely rank and vigorous grower. Enchantress. (Tea.) A free-flowering rose, of vigorous growth and fine foliage; color creamy-white, slightly tinted with buff in center. Etoile de France. (Hybrid Tea.) Received a gold medal in France and the introducer, J." Pernet Ducher, the originator of so many grand roses, claims that it is one of the finest roses ever sent out. The flow- ers are very large and borne on good, long stiff stems; color a lovely shade of clear, red-crimson velvet; very fragrant and keeps well. A superb rose and sure to be a great favorite. Franz Deegen. (Hybrid Tea.) This rose will certainly prove worthy of extensive cultivation and will win its way into favor wherever planted.. In color it resembles the popular Perle des Jardins, the inner petals approaching more of an orange shade. It throws up very strong canes and the flowers stand up erect on the stems and are of superb form. Frau Karl Druschki. (Hybrid Perpetual.) Pure snow white, long pointed buds, large full flowers, free and constant. 'Equaled by no other H. P. Gruss An Teplitz. (Bourbon.) "Crimson Hermosa." A rose that every florist should have, inasmuch as it is easy to propagate and a color that is always in demand. When first opened it is a rich dark crimson quickly changing to a velvety fiery red. A strong grower, blooms con- tinuously, flowers good size and delight- fully fragrant. Helen Gould, or Balduin. (Hybrid Per- petual.) Not only ourselves, but the gen- eral public, believe this rose to be one of the best ever-blooming roses ever intro- duced. Its color is quite attractive, being a soft intense carmine, with shades of cerise and sulferino, very much the color of American Beauty. Blooms very freely. i
