Mrs. F. F. Thompson (Tea)—A sport from the lovely Mrs. Geo. Shawyer, and an exact duplicate, except in color, which is a lovely shade of shell pink, with a deep glowing heart of bright pink, which brightens up the flower wonderfully. Like Shawyer, it is a vigorous grower, and blooming constantly from early Spring until late Fall. Hardy almost everywhere. An excellent one for cutting, as the lovely buds hold their shape for an unusual length of time, and opening into such immense, full and double blooms. Price, first size plants, 30c each, postpaid; 4 for $1.00. Two-year-old plants, 75c each, bv express. All on their own roots. OLD GOLD (Hybrid Tea)—In bud form this Rose appeals to everyone on account of its wonderful color, which is entirely distinct from and not found in any other Rose, a vivid orange- red, with coppery-red and apricot shadings, opening bright sal- mon, and which is further set off by the healthy, glossy, bronze-green foliage; delightfully fragrant; a vigorous grower and very free-flowering. A great bedder. Awarded gold medal National Rose Society of England. Price, first size plants, 25c each, postpaid; two-year-old plants, 60c each, by express. All on own roots. FLORENCE FORRESTER—Clear snow-white with a lemon tinge; as the flowers age they become a pure white, the blooms are even larger than Paul Neyron. Its habit is absolutely perfect, and the freedom with which it flowers is marvelous. We con- sider this Rose the grandest of all whites for bedding. For size and substance has no equal among Hybrid Teas. Is very sweetly perfumed. Beautiful long pointed buds on tall stiff stems. An excellent Rose for cutting. Gold medal. National Rose Society. Price, first size plants, 25c each, postpaid; two- year-old plants, 60c each, by express. All on own roots.
