Baines Bouquet Collection of 4 Everblooming Roses FOR THESE ROSES IN COLOR, SEE FIRST PAGE OF COVER There are no better Roses than these Four Bouquet Roses N 1 MRS. AARON WARD—This Rose is a real joy to oO. the grower and absolutely distinct. One of the most delightful Roses of recent years in a color that catches the eye at once. Coppery-orange in the open bud, golden-orange when partly developed, pinkish-fawn of lovely shade when fully open, when it looks like a full fluffy-silk rosette. No wonder everybody that sees it falls in love with it; one of the most beautiful Roses in existence. 25 cents; two-year, 50 cents. No 2 PRESIDENT TAFT—This Rose was raised in Cin- o cinnati, the home of President Taft, and let us say tight here, while some of you may not admire the President him- self, you will, one and all, admire the Rose given his name. It is without question the most remarkable of all pink Roses. It has a shining, intense, deep pink color possessed by no other Rose. It is a fine grower, free bloomer, good size and form, fragrant, and in a class by itself as to color. Mr. Frank Good, who is probably familiar with more Roses than any man in America, says: “Talk all you want to about the Rose President Taft, and then you will not say enough.’ Do not confound this Rose with Leuchtfeuer, which some have attempted to rename President Taft. 25 cents; two-year, 50 cents. The entire set of 4 Special Offer No. 19 Bouquet Roses as shown on first cover page, costing 90 cents, sent for only 65 cents. Mo 3 MADISON—This is the ‘‘money maker’’ among the BINED cut flower Roses, and is a greatly improved Bride and when we say improvement, we mean a genuine improvement. The best feature of Madison is that the foliage does not mildew. Then after being planted and well established, Madison will cut as many flowers as Killarney, cutting steady each month in the year. Madison is a grand addition to my list of bedding Roses. Remember, that ‘‘Madison”’ is the money maker. Color delicate ivory-white faintly tinged pink on the edges of the petals. 20 cents; two=year, 50 cents. No 4 ECARLATE—This is not one of the newest varieties, . but we intend to hammer the good qualities of this Rose until we compel attention. It’s a better grower than “‘Etoile de France,” is a darker color than “‘Liberty”’ and more fragrant than “La France.’’. What more do you want me to say about it? “Ecarlate” is without question the finest red bedding Rose to date, and the longer you put off making its acquaintance the more you will miss. 20 cents; two=year, 50 cents.

For perfection of bloom, erectness of stem, abundance of flower, this variety has no equal, except in the old standby Countess of Lonsdale, being identical with that variety exceptinthecolor.

BAINES STAR SET OF TESTED FANCY No 1 DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON—Intense saffron- e yellow suffused with rich crimson which, as the flower develops, becomes deep coppery-yellow, a shade of colors hitherto unknown among Roses; the petals are large and of great substance; free flowering and of delightful fragrance. A great acquisition to the garden Roses. 20 cents; two-year, 40 cents. N 2 LAURENT CARLE—An extremely vigorous grower, oO. with fine erect branching habit and fine dark-green foliage; long buds are borne on long stems, opening into large flowers of perfect form, just full enough to open freely; color brilliant velvety carmine. A very promising variety; another Rose it will certainly pay to try. We know it has a future. 20 cents; two-year, 40 cents. N 3 MARIE DELESALLE—As free in growth as Teplitz, O. flowering continuously; buds long and elegant, open- ing into lovely blooms of fine form and large petals; color bright deep cerise. A decidedly free bedding Rose. 15 cents; two-= year, 35 cents. N 4 ALEXANDER HILL GRAY—The respect of all O. Rose lovers warrants the issuing of a champion Rose, and a tea at that, to pay due homage to one of the world’s greatest Tea Rose growers. It is wonderfully floriferous, every shoot be- ing crowned with a flower bud, which develops into a bloom of very laige size, great substance and perfect formation, with high pointed center from which the petals gracefully reflex. The best and largest pure yellow Tea Rose yet introduced. 20 cents; two-year, 40 cents. N 5 JONKHEER J. L. MOCK—This grand Rose is the O. strongest growing in the Hybrid Tea class. The blooms, which are produced with the greatest freedom, are car- ried on stiff and erect stems, and are of the largest size, of perfect formation and highly perfumed. Color clear imperial-pink; a glorious flower. Awarded two gold medals, one silver medal and five first prizes in Europe. We can confidently recommend this sterling novelty as a most valuable addition. 20 cents; two-= year, 40 cents. N F. R. PATZER—A most beautiful and distinct Rose oO. of very free flowering character. The blooms are produced with great freedom on stiff stems, and are of large size and substance. The color is creamy-buff, back of petals delicate warm pink; as-the petals reflex the color becomes light o1ange- pink, forming a most charming combination. Valuable for garden culture. 15 cents; two-year, 35 cents. N 7 MADAME VALERE BEAUMEZ—Cream, yellow O. and o1ange ate the colors in this queenly Rose. All the tints exquisitely beautiful, form very full and nicely rounded; a strong grower. We feel sure that this Rose will rank in the dozen best bedders. ‘‘Standard”’ in all necessary qualities, ‘‘fancy’’ in its coloring. 15 cents; two-year, 35 cents. N 8 LADY ASHTOWN—Deep rose, shading to silvery- O- pink, with touches of yellow at base of the petals; large, full and fine form, free and constant. A grand garden Rose, much prized in England. 15 cents; two-year, 35 cents. N 9 OLIVIA—The ideal red bedding Rose; was always O. just a little ways ahead—never quite reached. Such varieties as Meteor, Helen Gould, General McArthur, Gruss an Teplitz, Etoile de France each lack something to make them ideal. Rhea Reid came nearer the mark in some localities, but now comes Olivia, coming under the wire first an easy winner. It has more petals in it than General McArthur and is a shade lighter in color than Rhea Reid, but has them both backed off the boards when it comes to free blooming. A superb Rose. 15 cents; two-year, 35 cents. N 10 RADIANCE—A new American Rose; there is O. none better. A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying beautiful rich and opaline-pink tints in the open flower. The form is fine, largest size and full, with cupped petals. It blooms constantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is next to President Taft, the strongest growing of all H. T. Roses. Simply grand; superb. 20 cents; two-year, 40 cents. 11 FRIEDRICHSRUHE—Color deep blood-red; large, No. full, well formed, flowering freely and continuously; excellent habit of growth.

No 16 MISS CYNTHIA FORD—This Rose possesses in ~ a superlative degree the essential point of an ideal garden Rose, viz.: size, form, brightness, vigor and habit. In color it is a deep brilliant rose-pink, very large, perfectly formed and very full. It is sweetly perfumed and lasts a long time in good condition. Gold medal, N. R.S. 15 cents; two-year, 35c. No 17 MRS. ARTHUR E. E. COXHEAD—In this mag- 4 nificent Rose we have a new and distinct color among Hybrid Teas, and one very difficult to describe; claret-red, shaded vermilion towards the edge, with a wonderful bright sil- very sheen towards the base of the petals, giving a distinct illumi- nated effect to the whole bloom. A truly great variety; awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society. 15 cents; two= year, 30 cents. No 18 LADY HILLINGDON—At_the Detroit Rose show 9. in January, 1912, this was awarded the sweep- stakes over all yellow Roses. It has long willowy stems that are in no sense weak, as the buds are held upright; has a long slender pointed bud of brilliant deep golden-yellow, and a striking pecul- larity of this Rose was that each day of the show this golden-yellow color became deeper yellow and more intense, unlike all other yellow Roses of which we are familiar, as invariably the tendency after being cut is to get lighter in color. This Rose at no stage of its development shows this lighter color as does Sunburst and other of the yellow Roses, but is always an even, deep, intense golden-yellow; forces well. Awarded gold medal, National Rose Society. 20 cents; two-year, 40 cents. , No 19 DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY—A pure white e sport from White Killarney; has a much larger bud, double the size of the ordinary White Killarney; has many more petals than its parent. A great garden Rose. 15 cents; two-year, 35 cents. No 20 RAINBOW—Pink, striped and _ splashed with ° bright carmine; good shaped buds with fine petals; free flowering. 20 cents; two-year, 40 cents. No 21 SUNBURST—tThis magnificent giant yellow Rose e is a fine forcer; it stands head and shoulders above all others of it color and will rank with American Beauty and the Killarneys in value and grandeur. It has long, pointed buds, which can be cut tight for market. The color is orange-copper or golden-orange and golden-yellow; edge of petals lighter; all intense shades, extremely brilliant in effect. Belongs in the class of big Roses; has created a sensation wherever shown. 20 cents; two= year, 40 cents. N 3/9. KILLARNEY QUEEN—A cerise-pink sport of O. Killarney that for clearness and brightness of color has not been equalled; exceptionally strong in growth, with foliage that is perfect, being larger than. Killarney and more glossy. In size of petals Killarney Queen is larger than its parent, and for high grade bloom it is a very superior variety. Forces fine. 15 cents; two-year, 35 cents. N 23 LIEUTENANT CHAURE—Bud long and oO. pointed; color velvety crimson, opening to large flowers of crimson-red, shaded garnet; flowers of great depth and nicely cupped form; flowers very freely produced and deliciously fragrant. In every way a grand Rose. 15 cents; two-year, 35c. N 24 RECUERDO DE ANTONIO PELUFFO—What oO. Soupert & Notting say about this fine Rose: “Madame Melanie Soupert crossed with Madame Constant Soupert, light diaphanous yellow with pink edged petals, exceed- ingly large, very double and of irreproachable form; free flowering until late in autumn; opens freely; combines all the delightful and prominent qualities of the parents; a strong, hardy Rose with nice long buds. A classical Rose and a wonderful Rose in many ways.” I indorse every word of the above. My individual opinion is that this Rose has come to stay. 20 cents; two-year, 40 cents. MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 3 rious. Hyde Park, Mass., Oct. 8, 1913. Dear Madam— A year ago last winter I saw your ad in a magazine, and sent you a trial order for six of your Everblooming Roses. I was skeptical about the Roses blooming the first year, al- though you guaranteed that they would. Every one of them bloomed, not only once but several times last year, all six are still alive and growing, and did even better this year than last. In fact some of them are in bloom now. Last winter or spring, I selected from your catalogue which you sent me a collection of twenty Roses. Two days after thay were set out we had a late spring frost and snow storm. I thought that I had lost all of them, but I left them in the ground with all the leaves fallen off and nothing but bare branches left. All but five budded out again and have been blooming all the past summer. They have been the wonder and admiration of everyone who has seen them. So much so that I am sending you the names and addresses of three of my friends who have requested me to ask you to send them your bulb and regular catalogues. I hope I have not tried you with this long letter, but I thought perhaps you might like to know what a satisfied customer’s opinion of your stock was. Yours sincerely, W. H. Williams.

TN 4 MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES We here offer what is good in the New Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses. To have what is good you must try these New Roses. They are the best that England, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Holland and America can produce. BRITISH QUEEN—(McGredy, 1912.) We quote the introduc- er’s description: ‘‘Experts who have seen British Queen growing, agree that it is the finest white Rose in existence, surpassing in beauty and elegance of form all other white va- rieties. The freedom with which it blooms is remarkable. It is in flower from June until winter, and on well cultivated plants the blooms are a model of perfection. The type of flower is between White Maman Cochet and Frau Karl Druschki, with Tea Rose form and refinement; frequently in the bud state it shows a slight flush; this disappears as the flower opens into purest whiteness. It is a good grower and sweetly scented. Awarded a gold medal by the National Rose Society of Eng- land. Those who have had the pleasure to see this magnifi- cent Rose blooming at Portadown will never forget the sight. 30 cents; two-year plants, 75 cents. CANADIAN QUEEN—(Dale, 1912.) This is a great forcing Rose; resembles very much in growth, habit and flower the old Madame Cusin; a beautiful shade of bright pink, with long pane A decided beauty. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. CHATEAU DES CLOS VOUGEAT—(Pernet Ducher, 1908.) Words are inadequate to describe, and pigments are not.made which could reproduce the wonderful coloring and texture of of this truly remarkable Rose. You have all been looking for the black Rose, and here it is. The most wonderful color and texture ever seen in a Rose; looks as if cut out of heavy velvet with a color shading from deepest velvety maroon-red to blackish-crimson. We are sure it will become one of the most popular of garden Roses, quite in a class by itself, bloom- ing continuously in crops closely following one another. It is of fine shape, good size and the richest colored of all Roses, being fifty per cent. darker than Prince Camille de Rohan and Jubilee; quite fragrant. With us the foliage of this Rose is absolutely resistant to black spot and mildew; in a class by itself for this reason alone. Keep your eye on this Rose, as it is a wonder; named after a vintage of famous old French wine. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. CHILD’S SPECFACULAR—(Elliott, 1912.) This is a sport from Killarney, and might well be named ‘Striped Killar- ney.” A glorious, sparkling pink, widely striped, blotched and variegated with pure white. Buds exceedingly large, a FARBENKONIGIN (Queen of Colors). with wide petals and long pointed shape like Tulips. In fact, the buds are so very large they have often been taken for Tu- Ups. A “Spectacular” Rose. 25 cents; two-year plants, cents. COMTESSE FELICIE HOYOS—(Soupert & Notting, 1912.) Very clear salmon-yellow, with center of rosy-copper, overlaid with vivid carmine. In the style of ‘“‘Prince de Bulgarie,” but more vigorous and with larger flowers. A grand Rose. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. COUNTESS OF SHAFTESBURY—(Hugh Dickson, 1911.) This splendid Rose is the most perfect type of Hybrid Tea. Its large and perfectly formed flowers are produced in end- less profusion. In color it is bright silvery-carmine, flushed pale shell-pink at the edges of the petals, giving a delight- ful picotee effect; the color at the base of the petals deepens with age to light cochineal-carmine. Fine for massing in beds. Awarded the gold medal by the National Rose Society. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. CRIMSON CROWN—(Alex Dickson, 1905.) Brilliant, glowing dark crimson. Lemon-white at base of the petals. Flowers borne in clusters and in the greatest profusion. A fine bedder. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. DORA—(W. Paul, 1906.) Large full flowers of a beautiful peach blossom color, with deeper center, changing to silvery-blush as the flowers expand. Very free flowering. A glorious Rose. Try it. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. DOUBLE PINK KILLARNEY—(Scott, 1910.) The Killarney that will supersede the Killarney now grown. We have con- fidence in recommending this variety as a distinct improvement on the normal type, as it possesses from ten to twelve more petals than its parent. Awarded certificate of merit by the American Rose Society. 20 cents; 2=year plants, 50 cents. EARL OF GOSFORD—(McGredy, 1912.) Color dark crimson, heavily shaded after the style of Jubilee. A fine, strong grower; a Rose that will do particularly well in adverse climates; very fragrant and destined to become a very popular Rose. 50 cents; 2-year plants $1.00. ECARLATE—(Boytard, 1907.) This is not one of the newest varieties, but we intend to hammer the good qualities of this Rose until we compel attention. It’s a better grower than “Etoile de France,” is a darker color than “‘Liberty’’ and more fragrant than ‘‘La France.’’ What more do you want us to say about it. ‘‘Ecarlate’”’ is without question the finest red bedding Rose to date, and the longer you put off making its acquaintance the more you will miss. 25 cents; 2=year plants, 50 cents. EDWARD MAWLEY—(McGredy, 1912.) Raiser’s description: “By its marvelous outstanding qualities, is now generally re- garded by rosarians as the greatest advance and most wonder- ful Rose yet raised. We have no hesitation in stating that it is the finest of all dark crimson Roses, a true perpetual flower— ing Hybrid Tea, and the most beautiful variety the Rose world has yet seen. Gold Medal, National Rose Society. The grand novelty of Messrs. McGredy & Sons, they have very aptly named Edward Mawley, in honor of one of the best beloved of British rosarians. It is an enormous, big-petaled Rose, much larger than Melanie Soupert; a Rose it resembles in form, but of the beautiful rich color of a Louis Van Houtte, only with a more velvety shading upon the inside of its petals. This Rose could not fail to receive the coveted gold medal of the National Rose Society.” 35 cents; 2-year plants, 75 cents. ELIZABETH—(Benj. Cant, 1912.) Deep rosy-pink, shading off lighter towards the outer petals. Large full and well pointed buds and flowers. A very valuable sort that is decorative wherever placed. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. ETHEL MALCOLM—(McGredy, 1910.) No Rose for many years created the same sensation among Rose growers as this superb variety when it was awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society. The color is ivory-white passing to a pure white when the flower expands with a delicate peach shad- ing in center of bloom. A truly lovely color. A fine novelty- 25 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents. EUGENE BOULLET—(Pernet Ducher, 1911.) This will become a standard variety. it has all the ear-marks of a good Rose. Vigorous grower; free bloomer. The blooms are of the largest size; the color a rich ruby-red, and of delicious fragrance. A No. 1 variety. 20 cents; 2=year plants, 40 cents. FARBENKONIGIN (Queen of Colors)—(Trier, 1901.) This is well named the Queen of Colors; our own personal opinion is that there is no finer Rose grown than this beautiful sort. It is large and full; color bright carmine and rosy-crimson, overlaid with a satiny silver sheen. Very floriferous. Simply grand. Here is another Rose that will bear an acquaintance. All Europe knows this Rose, while but few in America have even heard of it. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 40 cents. MISS ELLA V.

GENERAL SUPERIOR ARNOLD JANSSEN—(Leenders, 1912.) This Rose has all the good qualities of ““Jonkheer J. L. Mock"’ and ‘‘Mevrouw Dora Van Tets”’ and is just between them in color, being a deep glowing carmine, carried erect on stiff, robust stems.

GENERAL SUPERIOR ARNOLD JANSSEN. HILDA—(Scott, 1911.) This is a grand forcing Rose sent out oy the introducer of ‘‘My Maryland.’’ It has buds and flowers of the largest size.

Dickson’s single Roses that is a good bedder. It makes beau- tiful buds that remain in shape a long time, having great sub- stance. It comes with long stems, and with its unique color, it forms a combination that at once places it in the front rank of beautiful Roses. The color is old gold or coppery-yellow, flamed with ruddy-crimson. Certainly a most glorious Rose; if you have never had the pleasure of seeing how beautiful a single Rose is, try Irish Fire Flame. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. LADY ALICE STANLEY—(McGredy, 1910.) This, we predict, will become very popular as a garden Rose. The petals are shell-shaped, forming a perfect flower; the color on outside of petals is a deep coral-rose; inside, delicate flesh, often flushed and suffused with bright flesh. Remarkably attractive, with- out doubt a magnificent Rose. Awarded gold medal. 25 cents; two-year plant, 50 cents. LADY DE BATH—(Benj. Cant, 1911.) A grand garden Rose. Color, creamy-white, with golden-yellow markings in the center petals; extra fine. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. LADY DOWNE—(W. Paul, 1911.)

A direct cross be- tween “Antoine Rivoire’’ and ‘‘La Fraicheur.’’ The color of this Rose is of the same delicate pink as ‘‘La Fraicheur,” with the same unique markings in the petals characteristic of this beautiful Rose, retaining the delicious scent. This variety was growing in the midst of known varieties during the summer, and several leading Rose growers who saw it blooming were quick to pick it out. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. LADY REAY—(Benj. Cant, 1911.) An attractive bedding va- tiety. Color, deep rich pink, deeper in the center, shading off in the outer petals to silvery-white; very fine. 25 cents; two= year plants, 50 cents. LESLIE HOLLAND—(Hugh Dickson, 1911.)

Strong grower, with but few thorns and small ones at that. Bud long and beautifully formed, opening into a surprisingly large, full flower with immense outer petals.

Probably too old a Rose to be classed with the new varieties. We place it here so par- ticular attention may be called to it. The color is a lovely shade of vermilion-pink, changing to silvery-pink. Very large, very full and possessing great lasting properties. Perfect form; fragrant. Awarded first prize and gold medal at Clermont. On the Pacific Coast this Rose is so well thought of that it has been rechristened “Prima Donna.”’ It is without question a great Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. MADAME RAVAR Y—(Pernet Ducher, 1899.) Not a new Rose, but not largely disseminated in this country. It is probable that more of this yellow Rose is planted in England, Ireland and the Continent than all other yellows combined. In growth and habit it is much like Madame Caroline Testout, and will always command a good price, being difficult to propagate. Long pointed buds of beautiful golden-yellow, opening to large, full orange-yellow flowers; very free flowering. Superb. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MADEMOISELLE BLANCHE MARTIGNAT—(Gamon, 1904.) Like so many of the good continental Roses, we just happened to have the good luck to run onto this superior Rose by chance. Why it has been neglected so long is beyond our comprehension. The only solution to the question, “‘lost in the shuffle” is prob- ably the appropriate answer. Growth free and the foliage is quite distinct, both in shape and color. The shape is extremely long and pointed. It has a distinct light silvery color. The flowers are beautiful peach pink, with tints of yellow and crim- son, the same colors as seen in the Aurora Borealis. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. ; MADISON—(Brandt Hentz, 1912.) This is the “‘money maker’”’ among the cut flower Roses, and is a greatly improved Bride and when we say improvement, we mean a genuine improve- ment. After being planted and well established, Madison will cut as many flowers as Killarney, cutting steady each month in the year. Madison is a grand addition to our list of bedding Roses. Remember that ‘‘Madison” is the money maker. Color, delicate ivory-white, faintly tinged pink on the edge of petals. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MAMAN LYLY—(Soupert & Notting, 1912.) flesh. Very large splendid Malmaison form. Freely and con- stantly produced. The best of all rosy-flesh colored Roses. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MANUEL P. AZEVEDO—(Soupert & Notting, 1911.) The in- troducers say: ‘‘A splendid large double, upright flower of an ideal form. Color fresh cerise-red, with wax-like petals. This first-class novelty has the hardiness and splendid form of Ulrich Brunner and is as free-blooming as Etoile de France, one of the first and finest blooming in the Rose garden. A new, rare and invariable color; sweetly perfumed.” Our Mr. Frank Good says: ‘‘This Rose has come to stay; it has already made for it- self a place that is secure.’’ 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cts. Delicate rosy- MILDRED GRANT. MARQUIS DE SINETY—(Pernet Ducher, 1906.) This Rose extremely difficult to propagate, but it has such decided and pro nouncedly marked merit that we are constrained to keep it on our list. Was it not for this fact it would have been ere this telegated to the scrap heap. It is a good grower after once rooted, and it is a Rose you will always plant if you get started with it. Everyone who has seen this beautiful Rose is enthu- siastic over it. The buds are of a rich ochre-yellow, suffused with carmine or bronzy red. The expanded flower of largest size is fairly double; of perfect cupped shape and of a rich golden-yellow or Roman ochre, shaded with bright tosy red, delightfully fragrant. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MAY KENYON SLANEY—(Alex. Dickson, 1910.) A Rose of wonderful distinctness and charm, possessing a wondrously profuse and continuous flowering habit; the blooms are large and of wonderful finish; the color is a charming blush-pink on tich cream, the pink intensifying as the flower expands; de- ig bieully tea scented. Valuable. 20 cents; two-year plants, cents. MEVROUW DORA VAN TETS—(Leenders, 1912.) A chaste Rose of great beauty. The habit of growth is perfection, every shoot producing a bloom, a veritable pearl for garden decora- tion. The color is a deep glowing crimson; a flower you want to linger with, and which you visit againand again. This is another most valuable garden Rose sent out by that painstaking Dutch- man, M. Leenders, of Steil-Tegelan, who has already enriched for all time our gardens with the grand varieties “Jonkheer J. L. Mock,” “Gartendirector Hartrath” and “General Superior Arnold Janssen.” Yourself or friends will make no mistake in planting this Rose. 50 cents; two-year plants, $1.00. MI-LADY—(Pierson, 1913.) A cross between ‘‘Richmond” and “J. B. Clark.”’ Color similar to “Richmond.” A large bright crimson flower. Large, full, well-formed flowers carried on stiff, erect stems. Very fragrant and a fine keeper. Has jumped into popularity as a forcing Rose, but is, we think, more suited as a garden Rose. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MILDRED GRANT—(Alex. Dickson, 1901.) Ivory-white, with an occasional flush of pale peach. High pointed center, with unusually large and massive petals, opening to perfectly formed flowers of enormous size and substance. Awarded the gold medal of N. R. S. We are the only firm in the United States offering this Rose on its own roots in young plants. It is a grand Rose. 50 ents, only one size to offer. MRS. AARON wARD—(Pernet Ducher, 1907.) This Rose is a real joy to the grower and absolutely distinct. One of the most delightful Roses of recent years in a color that catches the eye at once. Coppery-orange in the open bud, golden- orange when partly developed, pinkish-fawn of lovely shade when fully open, when it looks like a full fluffy-silk rosette. Color effect of the whole flower is Indian-yellow. No wonder =) everybody who sees it falls in love with it; one of the most beautiful Roses in existence. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MRS. ALFRED TATE—(McGredy, 1910.) The color of this Rose is perfectly fascinating and the form of bloom so distinctly perfect and exquisite in shape; the color is coppery red, shaded fawn, with a distinct ochre-yellow shading at base of the petals. Fine for bed- ding or massing. - Awarded gold medal, Baga- telle (Paris), 1910. Award of merit, Royal Horticultural Society, London, October, 1908. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. MRS. AMY HAMMOND—McGredy, 1911.) It has an extraordinarily deep, long, very pointed flower, probably the most perfectly shaped and most graceful form of any Rose - grown; has no equal among bedding or gar- den Roses. The color is a blend of ivory and amber shading; the amber color is most pronounced and develops toa bright apricot towards the base of the petals. Many blooms develop all over this apricot shading to such an extent that it is charming beyond descrip- tion. Will be known as “‘Everybody’s Rose.” Awarded gold medal. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. MRS. CHARLES CUSTIS HARRISON—(Alex. Dickson, 1910.) Is a Rose of great beauty and distinctness. The flowers are produced in wonderful profusion; the blooms are large, full and of globular form; the petals smooth, circular and of great substance; color deep crimson-pink on front of petals, crayoned deep crimson-carmine on the reverse side, a warm color that lights up well when held in varied positions of light; very highly perfumed. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. . MRS. CHARLES HUNTER—(W. Paul, 1912.) strong, vigorous grower, with rosy-crimson flowers, changing to a pleasing rose as they fully expand. A very bold flower, with large handsome petals, produced on strong, up- right stalks. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents, . es eS LS -., . ae MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 7 THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES—cContinued. MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL—(Montgomery, 1912.) This won- derful new American Rose has taken the country by storm. No other forcing Rose except “American Beauty” can com- pete with it when it comes to counting points. Stems three feet long, stiff and surmounted by grand rosy-pink blooms of the largest size and build. Keep your eyeon this Rose. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MRS. CORNWALLIS WEST—(Alex. Dickson, 1911.) A truly magnificent and absolutely distinct Rose of huge size and great substance, with exquisite imbricated globular form. The petals are very smooth, shell-shaped, leathery and entrancingly beautiful. The purity of the transparent delicate pink, which is between a shell and a rose-pink—on the purest white, gives it an attraction all its own that it is difficult to con- vey. Awarded the gold medal, N. R. S. 20cents; two=year plants, 40 cents. ; MRS. DAVID BAILIE—(Hugh Dickson, 1912.) Strong, free branching growth, making an ideal plant for massing in beds, fer which it is exceptionally well adapted. The flowers are beautifully Camellia formed, with petals nicely and evenly reflexed and high pointed center. The color is very pleasing and novel, being bright madder-carmine, with the delicate veinings of the petals penciled with a deeper shade. Very sweetly perfumed. A decided acawisitign among bedding Roses. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MRS. EDWARD J. HOLLAND—(McGredy, 1910.) The color is a beautiful deep salmon-rose, shaded lighter towards the edges; perfect in both shape and form, with an unusually high pomted center. The petals are of great substance and beau- tifully arranged, forming a model flower of exquisite beauty, because of the marvelous freedom with which it produces its blooms throughout the whole season. Will prove one of the finest and most striking garden Roses yet produced. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. MRS. FRANK BRAY—(Alex. Dickson, 1912.) This is claimed te bea great advance on the lovely and justly esteemed ‘‘Mme. Ravary,’’ which until now has the best of its color amongst the decorative or garden varieties. ‘‘Mrs. Frank Bray’’ dur- ing its several years’ trial preceding its introduction, has proven immensely superior to its prototype, not only in vigorous growth, but also in color, which is a deep rich, coppery-ecru, develop- ing as the flower opens to a very delicate coppery-fawn, with a shading of ivory shell-pink. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MRS. FRED STRAKER—(Alex. Dickson, 1910.) It would be difficult, if not impossible, to either speak or write in too eulogis- tic terms of ‘this unique creation. The blooms are produced in most extraordinary profusion throughout the entire season. The color in the young flower is orange-crimson. As the bloom develops it becomes silvery-fawn on front of petals, and delicate erange-pink on back; buds long, and with a perfectly spiral finish. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. MRS. GEORGE PRESTON—(Alex. Dickson, 1910.) A most beautiful and thoroughly distinct Rose, flowering in the great- est profusion. The blooms are very large, full and of globu- lar form; the color is a very delicate warm silvery rose-pink, a truly delightful color; sometimes in autumn it is lighted up with delicate orange. Very fragrant. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER—(Lowe & Shawyer, 1911.) This variety is a wonder for freedom of growth and bloom. No other forcing Rose can touch it on these two points. It throws up strong breaks in rapid succession, and a bench soon shows dense growth, every shoot tipped with a bud. The color is bright peach-pink and is carried on three and four-foot stems. This Rose has won awards every place shown, and in the past two years it has been exhibited in practically all the shows, especially in the East and abroad. A fine garden Rose. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. é MRS. HERBERT HAWKSWORTH—(Alex. Dickson, 1912.) A glorious Rose of generous size and almost globular form. with very smooth, shell-shaped, massive petals, which are very beautifully arranged, perfecting a flower of the highest standard. The growth is vigorous and marvelously free flow- ering. The-color is deeply zoned ecru on milk-white, which, as the blooms expand, become silky, creamy-white; delicious tea-rose perfume. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MRS. HERBERT STEVENS—(McGredy, 1910.) In this mar- velous variety we have probably the most important addi- tion to this class yet raised. The bloom is as long, and even more pointed than any of the ‘Maman Cochet”’ family; fault- less in shape and form; a flower of exquisite grace and refine- ment; color, white with 1 distinct fawn and peach shading towards the center; a sterling novelty of distinct tea fragrance; unsurpassed. Awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society of England in 1910. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. MRS. JOSEPH H. WELCH—(McGredy, 1911.) The color of this wonderful Rose is a rich, brilliant rose-pink. So distinct and rich a color has not yet been attained in any Rose. When known, we are certain it will be placed right at the top of its class. It is undoubtedly the largest Rose in cultivation, and the most perfect type of Rose the world has yet seen. Its rich, brilliant color, perfect shape and gigantic size will compel at- tention in any Rose garden. Awarded the gold medal of Na- tional Rose Society. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. { MRS. MAYNARD SINTON—(McGredy, 1910.) In this grand variety we have the masterpiece of perfection in a Rose. In size, we have the largest; in shape it is perfect, and in form, the most beautiful of all Roses. The color is silvery-white, with porcelain shading, suffused pink towards the edges. In color quite the most distinct among Roses. A truly glorious variety. This Rose, along with “Mildred Grant,” represents a distinct type among Hybrid Tea Roses. Awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. MRS. MUIR MACKEAN—(McGredy, 1912.) This is a Rose of very special merit. In all the range of colors among Hybrid Teas, it stands unique and quite distinct; bright carmine-crim- son, without shading. A grand, bold, well-built flower, per- fect in shape and form; of the most modern type. Extra per- petual flowering. Everything about this Rose is pleasing and attractive. Fragrant. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MRS. RICHARD DRAPER—(Hugh Dickson, 1911.) A mag- nificent Rose; of robust branching growth. Flowers very large and full. Color a glossy, satiny-pink on the outside of the petals; inside of the petals silvery-flesh. A glorious Rose for the garden, being always covered with flowers. Awarded the gold medal, N. R.S. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MRS. SAM ROSS—(Hugh Dickson, 1912.) Very large, full flowers. | Petals large, smooth, shell-shaped and slightly cupped, beautifully reflexed at the edges. A flower of the largest size and great refinement. A novel and uncommon shade of color. At once distinct and pleasing, but difficult to describe. It may be said to shade from pale straw color to light chamois-yellow, with a distinct flush of buff on the reverse of the petals. Very sweetly scented. Awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society, Regent’s Park, London, July 7th, 1911. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. MRS.WALTER EASLEA—(Alex. Dickson, 1910.) A distinct and charming Rose; of imbricated form and robust, vigorous and erect growth. The blooms are large, full and are most freely produced. The color is a glowing crimson-carmine, which as the flower expands, deepens to intense crimson-orange, the back of the petals, being an intense satiny-crimson, lends addi- tional charm to this lovely variety. It is deliciously perfumed. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. NATALIE BOTTNER—(Bottner, 1911.) Color, delicate cream - yellow; a flower of wonderful finish in the way of ‘‘Kaiserin;’ very vigorous, but nevertheless most floriferous. It combines the prominent qualities of the two celebrated Roses, ‘‘Druschki”’ and “Kaiserin.’’ This novelty is much superior to them. This is an absolutely first-class Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. NERISSA—(W.. Paul, 1912.) This Rose was given an award of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of England. Why they did not give it a gold medal is beyond our ken. An enor- mously large, full flower, of fine shape, making a magnificent effect in the garden. Growth vigorous. This is a great Rose. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. POLLAERT ROSE—(Pollaert, 1910) This is the much heralded improved La France. The claims made for it are that it is a stronger grower, and that the fragrance is more pronounced. We have tried this Rose in the fieli and we find it identical with La France, except it is a stronger grower and the flowers are sweeter. These two quaiities stamp it as a Rose of the first water. 20 cents; two-year plants 40 cents. PRESIDENT TAFT—(McCullough, 1908.) This Rose was raised in Cincinnati, the home of President Taft, and let us say tight here, while some of you may not admire the President himself, you will, one and all, admire the Rose given his name. It is without question the most remarkable of all pink Roses. It has a shining, intense, deep pink color possessed by no other Rose. It is a fine grower, free bloomer, good size and form, fragrant, and in a class by itself as to color. Our Mr. Frank Good, who is probably familiar with more Roses than any man in America, says: “Talk all you want to about the Rose Presi- dent Taft, and then you will not say enough.’”’ Do not con- found this Rose with Leuchtfeuer, which some have attempted to rename President Taft. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. PRESIDENT VIGNET—(Pernet Ducher, 1911.) Flower large, full and globular; on long stem. Color, deep carmine-red, shaded bright poppy-red. A charming garden Rose: 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. PRINCE ENGLEBERT CHARLES DE ARENBERG—(Soupert & Notting, 1910.) Erect, vigorous growth; buds and flowers of large and perfect form, being long and pointed; massive petals. Color, brilliant fiery scarlet. We think well of this Rose, and \it is bound to have a future. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. RADIANCE—(Cook, 1909.) A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying beautiful rich and opaline-pink tints in the open flower. The form is fine, largest size and full, with cupped petals. It blooms constantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is a superior Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. AN 8 MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES—Concluded. RECUERDO DE ANTONIO PELUFFO—(Soupert & Notting, 1910.) What Soupert & Notting say about this fine Rose: “Madame Melanie Soupert crossed with Madame Constant Soupert, light diaphanous yellow with pink edged petals, ex- ceedingly large, very double and of irreproachable form; free flowering until late in autumn; opens freely; combines all the delightful and prominent qualities of the parents; a strong, hardy Rose with nice long buds. A classical Rose and a won- derful Rose in many ways.’ We indorse every word of the above. Our individual opinion is that this Rose has unques- tionably come to stay. It is in the way of “Madame de Watte- ville,”"except that it has pronouncedly yellow shades and tones. A grand, beautiful Rose. Be sure and try this, it will please you. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. RENA ROBBINS (Hill, 191k) This is a grand garden Rose. Strong grower, producing its enormous flowers in the greatest profusion. Comes a bright yellow, changing to a pure white, with golden-yellow heart. Flowers of grand form and a mass of bloom throughout the summer until frost. 20 cents; two= year plants, 40 cents. ROBERT HELLER—(Hill, 1911.) yellow in color; quite a pure self without shadings. It is of the type of Perle des Jardins, but is deeper in color. Stronger in growth and brings perfect flowers. 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. ROBERT HUEY—(Alex. Dickson, 1911.) Messrs. Dickson sub- mitted a number of their promising seedlings for trial to Dr. Robert Huey, one of Philadelphia’s most enthusiastic and best- posted amateur Rose growers, from which he selected this variety to name after his son. The description following is by Dr. Huey: “A strong, vigorous grower, giving extra fine stems for cutting; color bright carmine shaded deeper on the outer petals; flowers large, full and of good substance; buds pointed; the largest and finest of the red-colored Hybrid Teas; should have a rich, deep soil and good feeding.’’ 20 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. ROBIN HOOD—(Hill, 1911.) This new Rose has a glorious scarlet color that is at once soft and bright and lasting; the bloom is full and of the beautiful build of the H. P.’s.

They are hardy. ATROPURPUREA—This variety completely hides the plant with its deep purplish-red flowers in immense clusters.

BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN—This Rose was formerly named “Louise Welter."’ Its flowers are large and so much like Tau- sendschoen, that it has been rechristened ‘Baby Tausend- schoen.”’ It is a bush form of the ‘Climbing Tausendschoen”’ or “Thousand Beauties,” having all the charm in the variable coloring in its flowers that its parent has, being firm white, delicately flushed pink, changing to deep rosy-carmine.

These flowers are borne in immense bunches, and a large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. They last in per- fection a long time, and are followed by brilliant red hips or berries, which are carried late into the winter; and as the plant frequently retains its lovely green foliage until the end of November, it forms a beautiful decorative subject throughout the autumn months. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY—A seedling from American Beauty with Wichuraiana and Tea blood in its veins. The introducers say of it: ‘Same color, size and fragrance as Amer- ican Beauty, with the addition of the climbing habit. Good foliage, and better blooming qualities. One plant of this new Rose will produce twenty times as many flowers in June as the old American Beauty, besides blooming occasionally during the summer. Blooms three to four inches across; has proved per- fectly hardy and stands heat and drought as well as any Rose in our collection.’”’ This Rose has already made its mark, and wherever it has been planted it has pleased until today wesell it by the tens of thousands. You lose if you are slow to take hold of “‘Climbing American Beauty.’”’ It grows and blooms. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. CLIMBING BABY RAMBLER, or MISS G. MESSMAN— This is a true ever-blooming Crimson Rambler, for at this writ- ing (August Ist) it is in full bloom in the garden with enormous heads of richest crimson. There has been a widespread demand for a Crimson Rambler that would bloom more than once. Here you have it. Everyone knows how Baby Rambler is always in bloom. This is simply a climbing form of the Baby Rambler, embracing all its good qualities. 20 cents; two= year plants, 50 cents. CLIMBING FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI—As ‘Frau Karl Druschki” or: ‘‘White American Beauty”’ has become the lead- ing white Rose this will undoubtedly follow and become the most popular climbing white Rose. It is entirely hardy and is an exact counterpart of “Frau Karl Druschki” in every way except that it is a most vigorous climber. Pure paper-white flowers: Superb in every way. 20 cents; two-year plants, cents. CLIMBING MRS. WM. H. CUTBUSH—One of the finest types of the Climbing Baby Roses; of dwarf growth, producing in constant profusion flowers of a pleasing bright pink; borne in huge trusses; fine. 15 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents. GRAF ZEPPELIN—A brilliant rose-colored flower that attracts from a great distance; vigor of Crimson Rambler. Cupped form; double. In immense trusses; unusually floriferous. This Rose is unsurpassed as a climber. 15 cents; two-year plants, 40c. DR. W. VAN FLEET—Flowers when open run four inches and over in diameter. The center is built high, petals beautifully undulated and cupped. The color is a remarkable delicate shade of flesh pink on the outer surface, deepening to rosy-flesh in the center. The flowers are full and double, of delicate per- fume; buds pointed. It very much resembles Souy. de Pres. Carnot in color. Superb. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cts. HIAWATHA—This Rose is just coming into its own, being largely forced in pots for Easter time and its good qualities as a grand outdoor climber are becoming known. There is no other Rose so brilliant as Hiawatha. It must be seen to be appreciated. Its flowers are about one and one-half inches across, and produced in long, pendulous sprays, with frequently from forty to fifty flowers on a spray. In color it is brilliant, truby-carmine, with a clear white eye and a mass of golden stamens—a glowing combination of colors, which can be seen at a great distance, and which does not tire the eye as do masses of Crimson Rambler. The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, with bright green, glossy foliage, which is retained until late in fall. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA—It is a good deal to claim for a Rose, but we are within bounds when we describe Excelsa as a brilliant Crimson Rambler flower on glossy, var- nished Wichuraiana foliage. The defects of Crimson Rambler are its unsightly foliage in unseasonable weather, and its defoli- ation by insects; the infusion of Wichuraiana blood assures an ornamental climber which is nearly evergreen, and this will assure this lovely crimson- -scarlet pillar Rose a place in every American garden, for it is quite hardy in addition to all its other fine points. The flowers are very double, produced in large trusses of thirty to forty, and almost every eye on a shoot produces clusters of flowers. The color is intense crimson- maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scarlet. The finest of all Crimson Ramblers. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. SHOWER OF GOLD—This variety produces masses of flowers in large clusters. The color is a deep golden-yellow, with orange shadings in the center. Enormous lateral branches are pro- duced, which are densely clad with glossy green foliage that Tesists disease. This fills the “long felt want” fora ‘Yellow Rambler.” 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAUTIES—A Chinbing Rose that comes. to us from Germany. The flowers upon first opening are the most delicate shade of pink ever seen in a Rose, might be described as a white delicately flushed pink changing to rosy-carmine. It gets its name from its many flowers and the variation in coloring; beautiful; will become as famous as Crimson Rambler or Dorothy Perkins. We wrote the above two years ago, and now we can add that this Rose is sweeping the country like a prairie fire. You can word paint all you want to and then you will have left something unsaid. See a wonder. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. VEILCHENBLAU, The Blue Rose—The most wonderful Rose of the century for the reason that it marks a decided advance in the color of the Rose hitherto only dreamed of. Veilchen- blau or Violet Blue is the proper name, but no doubt it will be known in America as the Blue Rose. This Rose is going to have a larger sale by far than Crimson Rambler. Have we seen it flower? Well, we guess yes, and our word for it if you want something to cause you to stop and take notice, the Blue Rose will fill the bill. At a distance of fifty or a hundred feet a bush of the Blue Rose in full bloom will startle you. A seedling from Crimson Rambler, semi-double flowers larger than that variety, produced in large trusses. This Rose first opens reddish- lilac but quickly changes to amethyst and steel- blue, finishing violet-blue. Very distinct and ex- tremely pleasing. A wonder. Going to sell? Yes, everybody will want and will demand the Blue Rose. 20 cents; two-year plant, 50 cents. WARTBURG—This is a strong growing Rose, a seedling from Tausendschoen, with charming carmine-colored bloom in huge trusses. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents- WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS—(B. R. Cant, 1908.) (W.) It has been the cry of nursery- men for years for a white climber that would rank up with Crimson Rambler, and now we have the pleasure of offering this White Dorothy Perkins that in every way is the equal, if not superior, to Crimson Rambler as a red, and Dorothy Perkins as a pink. This Rose has no rival as a white climber. 20 cents; two-year TAUSENDSCHOEN, OR THOUSAND BEAUTIES. plants, 50 cents. MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 13 FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI.

BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES—Continued CONRAD FERDINAND MEYER—This Rose has Rugosa blood in its make up and is classed by some as a Hybrid Rugosa; it’s the best Hybrid Perpetual you have ever known. ~ This is a grand Rose, a vigorous grower, and free bloomer; flowers large, perfectly double, cup-shaped. Color deep, brighi, vivid, intense pink, with the penetrating fragrance of the old June Roses. We have grown this Rose for four years, in sections of the country from Canada to the Gulf, and we have no hesitancy in saying after the most thorough and rigid test that a Rose can be put to! that this Rose is in eyery respect just what we claim for it.

We make this statement advisedly and with a full sense of our,responsibility. The Rose is named after the se- nior member of our firm, who is now approaching his eightieth birthday. We are quite satisfied that within two years George Dickson will be tle most popular exhibition Rose in existence.

KING GEORGE V—What Mr. Dickson himself says of this Rose: “The flower is very large and very full, opening freely: beautifully shaped; much resembling ‘Madame Jules Gravereaux’ in build of flower and petal. The petals are very abundant and nicely arranged. The color is quite unique amongst Hybrid Teas, being rich blackish-crimson, with deep velvety violet fush, a striking and brilliant color, not burning in the sun nor turn- ing blue, as so many of our very dark Roses do. Ht is very free flowering and perpetual, and delights in a warm sun. The per- fume is strong and very pleasing.

This is the wonderful “Pink Druschki.” Do not confound it with the much inferior sort ‘‘Heinrich Munch,” which is being offered in some quarters as “Pink Dnuschki. This Rose we predict will have as large a following and be as widely planted in a very few years as the now famous “White Druschki.’’ We have looked it over in the field and grown it in pots for the market, and we absolutely cannot detect a single fault in it or about it. The growth and-make-up of the plants is superb, while the delicate pink color is unapproachable. nificent substance; delightfully smooth, and builfto make the form of flower perfection.

TREE PEONIES This is a remarkable species, developed from Peony Mouton, a native of China and Japan. In habit of growth it is not unlike a deciduous shrub—the growths are short and stocky, the plant eventually attaining a height of four or more feet and of large circumference; the foliage is quite handsome, and the immense flowers, which usually appear some two weeks ahead of the herba- ceous class, are most remarkable for their immense size and gor- geous colorings. Splendid for grouping or for specimen ‘plants on lawns. While a hardy plant, it will be found desirable to give it some protection in very cold latitudes. All shoots springing from the base should be rubbed off..

That we are headquarters for Ferns is evidenced by the choice assortment that we offer. No other firm offers so many distinct and choice varieties. Try us for Ferns. ARNING! Do You Know e If You Don’t You W about the ~=White Fern Scale ,.t8t : ~ I e Get Acquainted About every dealer in the land has this White Fern Scale. That’s what is making your Ferns look so sickly, and what is so serious about the whole matter is that even the big growers think it is a fly, and even then do not know how to rid themselves of it. It is a scale, and the most vicious insect that ever attacked any plant. It is the most difficult to get rid of. Our stock is clean because we know how to prevent it and we also know how to get rid of it, should our stock ever become infested. You cannot afford to attempt to grow Ferns that have this scale, because you will fail; your plants will never look right. Buy our clean Ferns.

It is such a compact, vigorous grower that it will thrive under most adverse conditions making an exceptionally rapid growth and: producing a plant of rare beauty and perfection in the average dwelling house without special FRONDS OF “TEDDY JUNIOR,’? THE WON= care or attention. Owing to its habit of producing the great quantity of massive DERFUL NEW FERN ? foliage in small pots, this Fern makes the finest pedestal plant ever produced, and t Seu will prove indispensable for decorating dining room or library tables and numerous other places in the home where limited space _ will not permit using large pots or varieties with longer fronds. As a table decoration, Fern growers can appreciate the commercial value of a dwarf variety that will produce forty to fifty fronds twelve to fifteen inches long in a four-inch pot: Such plants could readily be disposed of and every grower can produce them from ‘‘Teddy Junior’ with as little care and expense as they can grow other varieties. Young plants, 35 cents; strong plants, 50 cents; extra strong plants, $1.00. Nephrolepis Splendida The Big — Four Fern We place this grand variety first and fore- most of all the Ferns. It is the must won- derful of them all, and is the first and only genuine combination Fern ever sent out, and is now offered for the first time. It combines the good qualities of the four most ‘popular sorts. It has the grace of a ‘‘Boston,’’ the wavy effect of a “Roosevelt,’’ the fluffy effect of an “Ostrich Plume,’ and the uniqueness of the ‘‘Fish Tail.’’ Some fronds will be straight “Boston,”’ others will be true “‘Roosevelt,”” in others the ends of the pinnae will be feathery “Ostrich Plume,” while in others the ends of the pinnae will be the genuine “Fish Tail.” Then again some fronds will have ina marked degree all of these desirable traits, forming a combination without parallel among Ferns. It well deserves the name of “Big Four Fern.”” Everyone who sées it goes “daffy” about it. This is without question the most splendid of all the Nephrolepis. Be sure and te me . try it. Young plants, 35 cents; strong - THE “GOLD MEDAL FERN. plants, 50 cents; extra strong plants, $1.00 z For Description See Page 20. MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 19 THE “CRESTED FERN” Nephrolepis Roosevelt The “Roosevelt Fern”. It is our good fortune and great pleasure to offer this won- derful new Fern. In general characteristics it resembles the world-famous Boston Fern, but it will sweep that Fern from the boards for two reasons; it produces many more fronds than the Boston, thus making a bushier, handsomer plant. In fact, it is the best Fern for florists’ use ever introduced. Roosevelt will make a better plant in a six-inch pot than any other Fern in a-ten-inch pot. That is what will make you money every time. The usual size to sell the Boston Fern is from a six-inch pot. Well, let us tell you that in a six-inch pot of the Roosevelt and the Boston there is no comparison. The Roosevelt doubles the fronds of a Boston ina six-inch pot, thus making a much more finished plant, and, therefore, more salable. The pinnae are beautifully undulated, giving the Roosevelt a pronounced wavy effect seen in no other Fern; as the plant ages this effect becomes quite distinct. Our sales of Roosevelt have exceeded two hundred and fifty thousand plants, a far greater number than was ever sold of a new Fern. Young plants, 20 cents; strong plants, 50 cents; extra strong plants, 75 cents. - Nephrolepis Elegantissima THE “PHILADELPHIA LACE FERN” ‘The small size pinnae, or leaflets, are subdivided into perfect miniature fronds; the side pinnae stand at right angles to the mid- rib of the fronds, on edge instead of flat, giving both sides of the main frond the same beautiful appearance. It is impossible to conceive of the beauty and grace of this wonderful Fern from description. Young plants, 20 cents; strong plants, 50 cents; extra strong plants, 75 cents. Nephrolepis Scholzeli THE “CRESTED FERN” It is a sport from Scotti, possessing the merits of that most popular variety, but with the pinnae subdivided, giving it a fine THE “PHILADELPHIA LACE FERN’ “THE ROOSEVELT FERN’’_ crested appearance. The fronds, like in Scotti, stand erect, witha graceful arch forming a plant of ideal shape, and they never break down, giving the plant a ragged appearance as is so often the case with other plumed forms; furthermore, the loose, elegant arrange- ment of the fronds, allowing a free circulation of air through the foliage, prevents the center of even the largest specimen from be- coming defective or yellow. The smallest salable plants perfectly express the type, and in every. size are models of beauty for table decorations. Young plants, 20 cents; strong plants, 40 cts. Nephrolepis Todeaoides THE “‘SLONDON FERN” A feathery fronded variety similar to the Ostrich Plume va- riety, the fronds being more stiff and erect and the pinnae more finely divided. A fine Ostrich Plume sort, and we recommend it in all respects. Young plants, 20 cents; strong plants, 50 cts, 20 MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. Nephrolepis Piersonii THE “GOLD MEDAL FERN” This Fern received a gold medal from the Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists at their meeting in Ashe- ville, N. C., 1902, and is the only gold medal ever awarded by them for any plant whatsoever. An entirely new form of the Boston Fern. The pinnae subdivide, making miniature fronds which are superimposed on the main fronds, looking as if two or even three were condensed in one, giving the plant a graceful, feathery and plumy effect. Young plants, 20 cents; strong plants, 50 cents; extra strong plants, 75 cents. Nephrolepis Superbissima 2 THE “FLUFFY RUFFLES FERN” This new Fern is quite different from all other Ferns. Its dis- tinguishing characteristics are its dark green foliage, darker than any other Fern, its dense growth being much more compact, and its irregular shaped fronds which give it the name of “Fluffy Ruffles Fern.’’ The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae overlapping and are so formed as to resemble miniature Ferns, giving it the appearance of a Fern within a Fern. The plant is very sturdy in its habit and the fronds firm and rigid, never break down, so that it will stand more knocking around than any other Fern. Young plants, 35 cents. Nephrolepis Whitmanii THE “OSTRICH PLUME FERN” A great Fern. In fact, it is a plant that appeals to everyone, and on that account will prove a much more valuable and profit- able plant than the Boston Fern, which has had the most phe- nomenal sale of any decorative plant that has ever been grown, but which cannot be compared to the Ostrich Fern for beauty and general effectiveness. Everyone who has seen it is charmed with it. As someone has expressed it, ‘“‘There is nothing like the Ostrich Plume Fern in cultivation. In decorative effect it so far outdistances the original variety that there is positively no com- parison to be made. We consider it the most valuable novelty that has been introduced in many, many years.’’ It has taken gold medals wherever shown. Young plants, 20 cents; strong plants, 50 cents; extra strong plants, 75 cents. Nephrolepis Goodii THE “BABY’S BREATH FERN” This has the finest foliage of all the Ferns. It is so delicate that a lady on seeing it exclaimed, “Call it the Baby’s Breath Fern, as it is so dainty in texture that a baby’s breath would set its fluffy foliage in motion.”’ The fronds are very fine and filmy, on which account it has been called by some the Lace Fern. It is an improved variety and the best of its type. Nothing is daintier or more ‘exquisite than well-grown specimens in any size. Our reputation for it that no Fern in existence can compare with Baby’s Breath’’ in fluffiness. Young plants, 25 cents; strong plants, 50 cents; extra strong plants, 75 cents. Nephrolepis Exaltata THE “OLD ORIGINAL SWORD FERN” This is the ‘old original Sword Fern,” the daddy of them all, the one plant from which all the Nephrolepis we offer sprang. It is en- tirely different from ary ofits progeny, having narrow fronds that are long and of very erect growth. For this reascn it is more largely used as a centerpiece in vases than are any of its = descendants. Young plants, 15 cents; strong i NEW BEGONIA CORALLINE LUCERNE. panicles of a beautiful pink color. A grand Begonia. 15 cents. MARGUERITE—Leaves a bronzy-green, somewhat resembling Metallica, but growing in more bushy form, and easier to handle when grown in pots. Large trusses of light rose-colored flowers freely produced. New Trailing Begonia, MARJORIE DAW—This Begonia is distinct from all other Begonias, for instead of growing upright it droops. It bears great clusters of large, shining pink flowers that droop from long stems, making a beautiful sight. For single specimen pot plants or for baskets and vases “‘Marjorie Daw” is proving one of the best plant introductions in years. 20 cents. PICTA ROSEA—A wonderfully free growing Begonia of sterling worth and great beauty. The plant is very compact in growth, forming a dense, well proportioned bush with rich green foliage, spotted with silver. The flower is a rosy-flesh color, shaded with a silvery-pink and enlivened with dense clusters of yellow anthers. One of the most wonderful flowering Begonias within our knowledge. It blooms continually. 15 cents. PRESIDENT CARNOT—The leaf is of silky texture, and is beautifully spotted with silver; under side plush-red. Very strong, free-growing variety, that will succeed with any ordi- nary care, growing rapidly and sending out quantities of beau- tiful coral-red flowers in large pendent panicles. 15 cents. RUBRA—Has strong, slender branches, gracefully drooping under heavy waxen leaves and pendent panicles of coral-colored flowers as large as a hand. Medium-sized plants are frequently seen with more than twenty such panicles at a time. 15 cents. ROBUSTA—This is one of the most peculiar Begonias grown. The stalk, stem and under side of the leaf are Indian-red. The upper side of the leaf glossy olive-green. The flower is com- posed of two wide and two narrow petals, the wide ones being broadcast at the base and terminating in a round point, of a beautiful bright rose. SANDERSONII—Bushy growing variety; glossy deep green Jeeves flowers in clusters of drooping scarlet, heart-shaped uds, THURSTONI—The under side of the leaves is a rich purplish- red, the veinings very prominent, while the face or upper side is a bronzy-green, shaded with crimson and olive, with a peculiar glossy metallic luster over all. Flowers rosy-white, in large clusters well above the foliage. The plant has a fine habit. cents. VERNON—A deep rose flowering Begonia. ture or for bedding out. Always in bloom.

They make excellent pot plants, and are also effective for budding in shady corners. We make a specialty of this marvelous family of plants. ; They require light soil compound of rich loam, loose woods earth and sharp sand. They like a moist, warm atmosphere, and should be kept shaded during the summer. Do not allow the sun to strike the leaves when wet, and do not overwater the plants. Except where noted, 20 cents each, three for 50 cents, the set of Six for 90 cents.

It is impossible to describe in words the beautiful markings of this magnificent Begonia.

Of a beautiful metallic luster, center and edge degree the Rex character. We consider this the finest of all a soft velvety green with a broad silver zone terminating at the the Rex family, both in size of leaf and rich coloring. point. The foliage of this Begonia on well-grown specimens is so massive and the growth so majestic as to awe the beholder. Indeed, we doubt if we have a handsomer plant than this. It is of the very easiest culture. Anyone can succeed with it. MAGNIFICA—One of the finest of the Rex family; a splendid grower and easy for the amateur to cultivate. The leaves are the darkest of all the Rex, and is a most distinct variety. 30 MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. Large Leaved Rex or Painted Leaf Begonias—Concluded. MRS. SHEPARD—A very pretty Rex, with long four-pointed leaf having a smooth surface with silvery white band around a deep bronze center. which makes it one of the most attractive varieties. Theleafis | SILVER FLEECE—The entire leaf has a pinkish-metallic lustre very large with a smooth edge and the plant is a vigorous grower. Special Rex Begonias SFIRAL LEAP. 14 Countess Louise Erdody The leaf has a metallic luster, dark-silvery in thé center; shad- ing to-coppery-rose toward the margin. ._ Thestriking peculiarity which distinguishes it from all other Begonias consists in the fact that the two lobes at the base of the leaf do not grow side by side, but one of them winds in a spiral-like way until in a full grown leaf there are four of these twists lying on top of the leaf nearly two inches high. 25 cents; three for 60 cents. THE RED LEAF REX BEGONIA, Louise Closson One of the richest and most beautiful of the Rex family. The coloring is simply magnificent, centerof leaf deep bronze with broad band of silvery-rose, edged bronze, giving the whole’a pur- plish reddish-pink tint. The oddest color of all the Rex. 25 cents, three for 60 cents. 2 a Tender Plants Asparagus Plumosus Hatcheri The New Lace Fern It would hardly be possible to praise this new type too much and it has already made a name for itself among the most critical growers.
