Let us tell you something about these
It always was a popular outdoor Rose on_the
Pacific Coast, but recently even in the effete East
and everywhere in America they are planting
it simply by thousands for cut flowers. It has
become quite the rage. It makes a handsome
miniature Rose, coming in sprays of three to.
five buds, and combined in beautiful effeet with
so many other flowers in all kinds of floral work.
It is a very prolific bloomer and if carefully pro-
tected in the winter should be a money-maker,
both outdoors and under glass. The bud--and
flower are both handsome. Color, blush, shaded
light salmon-pink; distinct and desirable. :
MRS. WM. H. CUTBUSH—F lowers the delicate pink
of Dorothy Perkins. A
PERLE @#OR—Coppery-orange, changing to fawn.
New Polyantha, or Baby Roses Price 25 cents each
BABY DOROTHY—This is a glorious Rose. Flowers
resemble the Dorothy Perkins. Completely hides
the plant with its bloom.
BABY ECHO—The best. Polyantha produced. Color
rosy-flesh color. Of splendid strong growth and
freedom of bloom, which are of wonderful keeping
qualities either on or off the plant. This is the
improved Baby Tausendschoen. It has more sub-
stance and more color, and is the best of all Baby
Roses for pot culture. Be sure and try this one.
BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAU-
TIES—Its flowers are large, so much like Thou-
sand Beauties, that it has been rechristened Baby
Thousand Beauties. It is a bush form of the
Thousand Beauties, having all the charm of the
variable coloring in its flowers that its parent
has, being firm, white, delicately flushed pink,
changing to deep rosy-carmine. A splendid Rose.
Try it.
EDITH CAVELL—Bright crimson; white eye; very
beautiful. One of the best new Baby Roses.
ETOILE LUISANTE OR BABY HERRIOT—Just pic-
ture to yourself the Fairy or Sweetheart Rose
(“Cecile Brunner’), colored up like the Daily Mail
Rose (“Mme. Edouard Herriot’), only brighter and
more brilliant than when that variety is at its best,
and you will have some conception of the beauty
of this little gem which on account of the simi-
larity in color has been known among the cut
flower trade as Baby Herriot. Its color is a
shrimp-pink with intense coppery-scarlet suffu-
sion, the base of the petals golden-yellow which
intensifies and lightens up its high colors. Plant
is of free growth and floriferous. We are certain
that Baby Herriot will please everyone.
GEORGE ELGER— A lovely little golden-yellow
Polyantha Rose, with a good admixture of Tea
blood; like all of its class, it is free in growth,
free in bloom, with small, glossy foliage produced
in profusion. The dainty little pointed yellow buds
open into pretty little symmetrical Roses. Will
prove a very popular corsage variety; is grown in
quantity now for this purpose.

Price, 25 Cents Each
GRUSS AN AACHEN—Yellowish-rose colored with salmon-

ease proof; erect and of moderate growth. Owing to the
Size and beauty of its flowers and its symmetrical growth,

double flowers, bright salmon-rose at the edges, rosy-blush
inside. Blooms abundantly and continuously in bouquets of
fifteen to forty flowers. Has fine keeping qualities.
MLLE. FRANCISQUE FAVRE—Dwarf Polyantha. Robust in
growth, quite continuous in bloom, flowering in large trusses
of single flowers. Color, velvety crimson, with large silver-
white eye. Extremely showy.
ORLEANS—The showiest and prettiest of all the Baby Ram-
blers. This charming and dainty Rose is of beautiful rounded
habit and is a huge bouquet of deep cerise or Geranium-
pink, with distinct showy center of pure white; florets not
crowded, but of beautiful arrangement, making as a whole
a charming combination that cannot be beaten. Color is irre-
sistible. Plant grows like a weed and the flowers are nearly
“immortelle” in their lasting qualities. -Awarded gold medal.
ROSARIE, or PINK THOUSAND BEAUTIES—tThis is a bright
pink form of that famous Rose, “Thousand Beauties.”
