The Great Tulip Rose of Europe, THE BEAUTIFUL Md. de Watteville This grand new ever- blooming rose is one of the most beautiful vari- eties we have ever sent out, and is very largely planted by those who know its beauty. The color is a remarkable shade of creamy-yellow, richly colored with rosy- blush. The petals are large and each one wide- ly bordered with bright crimson, which gives it a very striking and beauti- ful appearance. The flow- ers are large, very full, and highly perfumed. This is the Tulip Rose, so called because of the feathery shading of bright rose around the edge of every petal, the body of the petal being creamy-white and of heavy texture. Sure to please. Price, 15 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. The Pretty Tea Rose, « • ...RAINBOW. .. This new rose from California, which no doubt will be extensively planted, was awarded a silver cup by the State Floral Society. The color is a lovely shade of deep coral-pink, striped and mottled in the most unique manner with intense crimson and elegantly colored with rich golden amber at center and base of petals. It makes beautiful buds, and the flowers are extra large, very sweet and of great depth and substance. Price, 10 cents each; large plants, 25 cents each. New Tea Rose SNOW FLAKE. It is a lovely new white Tea—the freest flowering rose we have ever seen. The rose was introduced by C. Straus & Co., of Washington, D. C, and by them grown in large quanti- ties for cut-flowers, they claiming it the most profitable white rose they grow; that they had counted one hundred and fifty-three buds and flowers on one plant in a single day, and the plant less than a year old. Nice young plants of this novelty for 10 cts. each; large plants, 25 cts. each. MD. DE WATTEVILLE. (The Tulip Rose.) NEW HYBRID TEA ROSE, MADAME SCHWALLER. The color is a bright rosy-flesh, paler at the base of the petals and deepening on the edges. Apt to come in clusters, which are excellent for cutting. A rose from which we hear very flattering reports from all directions. This grand rose has more perfume than any that we offer. Try it. It is magnificent. Price, 10 cents each; large two- year-old plants, 25 cents each. New Tea Rose, THE QUEEN, A most charming Tea Rose. The offspring of that fine old rose, Souvenir d'um Ami, whose many good qualities it seems to possess in a remarkable degree. It is pure snow-white, makes good, finely-formed buds, is quite full, showing the center but slightly when fully open. The petals are thick and of good substance, opens well, is very sweet, and has proved valuable, both for forcing and open ground planting. We recommend it for extended trial, as it will be found a valuable acquisition to our list of pure white ever-blooming roses. Price, 15 cents each; two-year plants, 30 cents. Kendallville, Ind., May 10, 1898. Gentlemen:—The roses came yesterday. They are very fine; hardly expected such large plants at the price paid. Yours very truly, P. B.
