The Pretty Tea Rose, RAINBOW. 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 sub- stance. Price, 10 cents each; large plants, 25 cents each. The Beautiful jviadame de Watteville The color is a remarkable shade of creamy-yellow, richly colored with rosy blush. The petals are large and each one widely bordered with bright crimson. The flowers are large, very full, and highly perfumed. This Is the Tulip Rose, so called because of the feather shad- ing of bright rose around the edge of every petal, the body of the petal being creamy-white and of heavy tex- ture. Sure to please. Price, 10 cents each; two-year-old plants, 25 cents each. Two Unequalled Roses for Winter Blooming, The Bride and Bridesmaid 10 cents each; large two-year-old plants, the two for 40 cents. White Tea Rose, The Bride—This is decidedly the most beautiful white Tea Rose. It is a sport from Catherine Mermet, with which it is identical in growth and shape of flowers. The flowers are very larpe and double, on long, stiff stems, of fijie texture and substance, and last a long time in a fresh state after being cut, making it one of the best varieties for corsage wear or bouquets. During extreme hot weather it becomes pinkish-white, at other times a beautiful pure white. Price, 10 cents each; large plants, 25 cents each. New Tea Rose, Bridesmaid—Here we have a new Rose, a pport from that old stand-by, Catherine Mermet. All know that Catherine Mermet takes precedence as a pink Rose. More plants of it are cultivated by the amateur, and more cut bloom is sold by the flower dealer than any pink Rose. Why? Because the bud is of exquisite shape and contour, so solid and firm, and the stems are so long and stiff that no other Rose will compare with it in keep- ing qualities after being cut. It is about two shades deeper in color—just enough to make it bright; and it is the same color all the time under every condition of weather and surroundings. Price, 10 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 25 cents each. MOSELLA." The Yellow Soupert. It blooms in profuse clusters of three to fire flowers, which are very double, ball-shaped and open like a Camellia flower. The petals are tinted white, on beau- tiful light-yellow ground extending to the middle of the petals. The plant is dwarf, bushy and free blooming. Offered for the first time this year. It is sure to bo a popular companion to the original Clothilda Soupert. Price, 10 cents each; two-year-old plants, 30 cents each. The Richest Dark-Red Rose, ^TWE METEOR A velvety-red ever-bloomer of the deepest glowing crimson, as flne as a Hybrid. Flowers of medium size, very double and slightly recurving. A beautiful open Rose, a free bloomer and a very excellent pot Rose. It has no tinge of violet or purple to mar its beauty. It is a vigor- ous, bushy grower, with healthy, bright foliage of the deepest green. This is unquestionably the best dark velvety-red Hose yet produced. Grand, both in bud and flower. Price, 10 cts. each; large two-year-old plants.
