HE GOLD MEDAL ROSE OF FRANCE, and claimed by the raiser, J. Pernet Ducher, to be the
finest Rose he has ever sent out. We believe with him that it has no superior. <A very strong,
vigorous grower, with handsome green-bronzy foliage, and exceedingly free fowering. The
flowers are very large, and borne on good, long, stiff stems. Color a lovely shade of clear red velvety crimson. Very deep and rich in color, very fragrant, and keeps well. In England, where it has been tried extensively during the past season, it has caused quite a sensation. Our opinion is that it will become as much of a favorite as La France. Keep your eye on this variety, as it is a stayer, and alto- gether a grand variety. Mr. J. Pernet Ducher, the famous rosarian of France, the introducer of this Rose, says of it: ‘‘Etoile de France will prove a grand addition to this class of Hybrid Tea Roses, because it an- swers to many real wants ; for bedding and massing it will be much appreciated: for cut ower purposes it will prove a very good variety on account of its color and free-blooming qualities. Without any ex- aggeration we may assert that Etoile de France will be appreciated by all lovers of the queen of flowers, and promptly gain the great popularity granted all over the world to our introductions : Madame Caroline Testout, Souvenir de President Carnot, Madame Abel Chatenay, Prince de Bulgarie, etc., etc., which are the gems of this glorious class of Hybrid Tea Roses that were raised by us, we are much honored tosay.”’

THREE GRAND PEONIES
See Fourth Cover Page of These Peonies in Color.
FESTIVA MAXIMA.
This is not only the finest white in ex- istence, but in most quarters is regarded as the queen of all the Peonies The genuine is none too plentiful, and at least five other kinds are sent out by some dealers inits stead. Mr Harrison says: ‘‘Here at the door stands queenly Festiva Maxima, white as the soul of the Madonna, with now andthen a blood drop, as though the iron had sometime entered her heart. What a marvelous flower !—seven inches across. This flower has reached the ulti- mate beyond which wecannot go”’ It
beauty, often seven to eight inches in di- ameter. Color snow-white, flecked with an occasional clear purple spot on edge of center petals. In addition it is very fra- grant; a glorious flower impossible to de- scribe ; magnificent. 40 Cents Each; Three for $1.00.
JENNY LIND.
A marvelously grand Peony. ‘‘What Rose can match it?’ Large blooms on long, stiff stems. Strong grower and free bloomer. Color bright clear pink, silvery reflex, with narrow white petals inter- spersed with the center petalage, ‘‘and in the center the lingerings of gold from which come exhalations of sweetest per- fume.’’ 40 Cents Each; Three for $1.00.
FELIX CROUSSE.
All Peony enthusiasts are familiar with the fact that it is difficult to get a red Peony that is a self color—that is, a full, rich, even shade of red, without being suffused with a shade of another color.
MIBOINN, FESTIVE, Miata Felix Crousse fills the bill—a rich, even, brilliant ruby-red, exceptionally fiery, bright and effective. Very large, full-shaped bloom. We place this in the front rank of all red Peonies. Nothing like it in color. We have the largest stock of this variety in the world—some ten thousand plants. 40 Cents Each; Three for $1.00.

TWO KINDS OF ROSES
The GOOD & REESE KIND and THE OTHERS 4
HE GOOD & REESE KIND are summer-propagated, winter-rested, own-root Roses. The wood for their propagation is grown at the time of year that it is natural for the Rose to grow—summer time; _ don’t need forcing; plant and water, and they just grow—can’t be kept from it. They are rooted and potted to make their summer growth. After ripening up in the fall they are placed in cool
‘greenhouses at 30 to 40 degrees during the winter and allowed to rest, often during cold nights freezing solid. After being allowed to rest this way they will ship and plant under almost any conditions and grow ~ and bloom for the planter. THE ROSE MUST HAVE A REST EACH AND EVERY YEAR if you want the best results. This is just as natural as it is for you to breathe, and good results cannot be obtained ~ unless they have this rest. The Goode & Reese Company have been growing this kind of Roses for twenty years, and have sold over forty million Roses in that time to upwards of a million customers. — THE GOOD & REESE SUMMER-PROPAGATED, WINTER-RESTED, OWN-ROOT ROSE is the best Rose to plant anywhere on the globe at any time of the year, and for any purpose for which the Rose is used; always remember that it is the roots of a Rose you should buy, and not the top. The top of the plant you buy never gets any bigger, but the growth is made from the root; hence, always plant GOOD \ & REESE SUMMER-PROPAGATED, WINTER-RESTED, OWN-ROOT ROSES. :

THE BEST OF THE NEW ROSES--Concluded
GENERAL McARTHUR ©
We have pleasure in offering this fine Rose, confident that it will please. It has had a thorough test the past season in the hands of numerous experienced Rose. growers, and has been placed before critical judges, who fail to find the slightest defect in itas an all-round garden Rose. It has been thoroughly tested by us the past year both outdoors and in greenhouses, and we are fully convinced that it is a grand improvement in the class of ever-blooming hardy red Roses. In color it is the brightest among all the Roses, being a vivid crimson-scarlet. Of free- branching habit of growth, very vigorous and healthy, every shoot producing a flower, and hardy enough to withstand our severe winters. Price, 15 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 35 cents each.

HELEN GOOD, The Beauty Cochet
This is a true Cochet Rose, and after two years’ trial in the garden we pronounce it as good as, if not better than, any Rose for the garden ever sent out.

The color isa delicate pink, suffused with yellow, each
~ petal edged deeper, very chaste and beautiful. The color, with

its immense size and exquisite form, makes it without question the greatest Tea Rose ever introduced, and we are proud to have brought it out. C. W. Miller, of Bellevue, Ky., writes us that of all the many Roses he has tried, Helen Good heads the list for size, color, fragrance and free blooming qualities. It has all other Roses beat. Be sure and try it, as it is a wonder. 10 cents each; two-year-old plants, 30 cents each.
KILLARNEY
Siebrecht, the great Fifth Avenue, New York, florist, claims that this is the finest pink Rose ever introduced.

In the English gardens this Rose is very popular, its novelty
_ and charm lying in its unusual coloring and its long, graceful
buds. Called by many the Red Kaiserin. The buds are full and pointed and of a beautiful cherry-crimson, permeated with an orange shade. We recommend this as one of the easiest and best. 15 cents each; two-year-old plants, 30 cents each.

ag MAIDEN’S BLUSH
Have you ever seen the blush of a beautiful maiden? TIE so, you will readily understand why this Rose has been so named.

flower. In shape of bud and half-open flower it very much re- sembles Souvenir de President Carnot, but is very much larger. Color a glowing shell-pink, very deep in the center; the fragrance is delicate and pleasing. A correspondent of the American Plorist, in commenting on this Rose in last March, says: ‘‘The exhibit of Queen Beatrice was a departure from the rest, as it Was a vase of Roses. But such Roses! They towered above the Carnations, on strong stems clothed with heavy foliage, and
» Were as large as American Beauties, but of a beautiful clear pink,
almost light enough to be called a shell-pink.’’ Price, 15 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 40 cents each.

The Queen of All Garden Roses. Maman Cochet Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed by this variety is well-nigh marvelous, and can- not be seen in any other Rose we know of. The buds are beautiful, large, full and firm and elegantly pointed; as they expand they show great depth and richness, sometimes measuring two and a half inches from base to tip. Flow- ers superb when open, extra large, perfectly double and of splendid substance. Small pot plants will in the open ground quickly make large, strong bushes, and produce, on long, stiff stems, great numbers of perfect flowers that are enchanting in fragrance and delicate brightness. The color is rich, clear pink, changing to a silvery-rose. As we see it, one good Rose like any of the Cochet Roses is worth a whole coliection of poor ones at any price.
H No Finer Rose Than White Maman Cochet This. This Rose attracted
our attention from the very first time we ever saw it in flower. It is of the largest size, and, as you will notice, the flower is built up, or rounded, and very double. The color is a pure snow-white. No Rose surpasses it in vigorous growth and in the immense size of its buds and flowers—in- deed, nothing in the Tea family approaches it in size. Deliciously fragrant.
i A Rose of transcendent beauty, total- Bessie Brown ly distinct, and one of the largest and fullest we have ever seen. Color pure white, sometimes faintly flushed ‘pink. Petals enormous and of shell shape. It*is really marvelous that such large flowers can be so freely produced.

a A beautiful large Rose of exquisite Mrs Robert Garrett shape, finish and blending of col-
ors. The flowers are very large, on strong stems clothed with clean, heavy foliage and strong spines. The buds are long, pointed in shape, and open up beautifully into a full, rounded flower. In shape of bud and half-open flower it very much re- sembles Souvenir de President Carnot, but is very much larger. Color shell-pink, deep in center. Fragrance delicate.

PILLAR OF GOLD
Of all the good Roses we have ever introduced, this one we
lace at the head of the list.
illar of Gold introduces the Rose lover to something quite distinct in climbing Roses. First, its growth is the most vigorous of all the climbers, often throwing shoots fifteen E to twenty feet in one season; second, the color of its flowers places it in a distinct class by itself. The shades of color are simply indescribable. At times it is variable in color, coming a beautiful Bridesmaid pink, base of petals deep golden-yellow. It will attract and startle everyone who has had the pleasure of seeing it. Deliciously fragrant.
MRS. ROBERT PEARY,” or Climbing Kaiserin ;
So favorably are we impressed with this Rose that our stock of it alone will exceed fifty thousand plants. The flow- ers are extra large, full, deep and double. The buds are long and pointed, a remarkable feature not found in any other climbing Rose. The color and shape of the bud and flower are identical with Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. Pure ivory-white. Thefragrance is delicious. The most remarkable feature of this variety, however, is that it blooms continuously the first year. :

It is, moreover, as easy America. It is perfectly hardy, and blooms all through the of cultivation as many of the more common varieties, and per- summer and fall. The flowers are four inches across, perfectly fectly hardy. full and double. The color is clear flesh-pink, with bright red center; it is very sweet, and has the delightful fragrance of the wild rose or sweetbriar. It has been called the ‘*Tronclad”’ Ever-Blooming Rose, for, besides being perfectly hardy it is entirely free from the attacks of insects, rust or blight, and is a real ironclad, continuous-blooming Rose, entirely different from the old ever-blooming varieties, and having a different © style of beauty. This is certainly a grand variety.
Dinsmore
For years we have been looking for_a variety which had all the desirable qualities of a bedding Rose—that is, one which was of good color, fine form, profuse bloomer, and which would stand the rigors of our Western winters without protection. It is a vigorous, healthy Rose, of dwarf branching habit, and is simply loaded with flowers all summer long, being more profuse than most of the tender ever-blooming Roses. The flowers are large, perfectly double, and of a dazzling scarlet-crimson color, and have the rich, spicy fragrance peculiar to the best Hvbrid Roses. We have proved the Dinsmore to be entirely hardv. It blooms incessantly, and is one of the most beautiful of bedding Roses.

a hardy yellow climbing Rose, but the combination of climbing

THE WORLD-FAMOUS ROSE
AMERICAN BEAUTY
This Rose has become as famous as the Marechal Niel. The flowers of this grand Rose are so eagerly sought that they sell in the flower stores of the larger cities during the holiday season at the extravagant price of from one dollar and a half to two dollars for a single bud or flower; indeed, the market is never fully supplied with them even at this high price. Why is this? There must be a reason. It is because of its large size, ‘rich colo: and delicious fragrance. One of its chief attractions is its
foliage, and it can be cut with long, stiff stems and heavy foliage. ' 3 i It is a hardy Rose, of the largest size, having the ever-blooming —
qualities of the Tea Rose with the delicious odor of the Damask or Moss Rose. It is the sweetest of all Roses. In color it is a deep, brilliant red, shading to a rich carmine-crimson. American Beauty is like Marechal Niel, difficult to start from
small plants, therefore we advise our customers to buy strong plants of it. This Rose will never be sold cheaply, for the reason Two-year size only to offer. Large — two-year-old plants, 50 to 75 cents each, according to —
it is difficult to propagate. size. We advise the planting of the larger size. — ¢

Snowdrop—Enormous-sized truss- es of pure snow-white, retaining its pureness the entire season. In free- dom’ of bloom, splendid habit, and growth of plant this variety resembles the excellent double white variety La Favorite. We believe this to be the very best single white up to date.

Wondewr—Very large, trusses of fiery scarlet, with shadings of maroon and crimson. ‘Trusses heid well above the foliage. In color and profusion of bloom a grand Geranium.

As someone has expressed it, ‘There is nothing like the Ostrich Plume Fern in cultivation.

The following is a select list of rare and_ handsome varieties that can be recommended for apartments, conservatories, dec- orations or vase plants during the summer. They are all grand plants, and of the easiest culture.
Palm Phoenix Canariensis—For decorating courtyards, verandas, etc. This is the Palm that was used so largely in vases throughout the grounds of the World’s Fair. It will thrive under more unfavorable conditions than any other Palm, for which reason it is particularly adapted to hallways or other positions where other Palms would 4 not exist. Plant itout in your yard or garden in California or in the Southern States. Young plants, 20 cents each.

_ General Roberts—A remarkable, beautiful variety of droop” ing habit. The blooms are from four to five inches in length’ borne in large clusters; single corolla, of a rich plum color, tube and sepals crimson. ©
New Double White Fuchsia, White Giant—The largest and best white Fuchsia grown. Fine form, very double; color pure white. This is a better grower than Storm King, and su- perior to that variety, or in fact any of the white Fuchsias. We find it to be an excellent winter bloomer. It gives us much pleasure to offer this grand Fuchsia.
Speciosa—All who know it value it very highly for this qual- ity. Habit is erect and compact, presenting a decidedly neat and attractive appearance as a pot plant. The fine star-shaped flowers are produced in profusion, and begin when plants are quite young. The flowers are three inches or more in length, tube and sepals bright rose, corolla brilliant carmine; it blooms quite freely.
Black Prince—This is, without question, the very finest. Fuchsia grown for the amateur to cultivate. It makes a shapely bush, is robust in growth, free from disease and insects, and is probably the freest in blooming. We have seen specimen plants six feet in height and four feet across loaded with thousands of bright buds and blossoms of a beautiful waxy-carmine or pink color. Certainly a plant of easy culture.
THE GRANDEST OF ALL GLADIOLI
Good & Reese’s International Mixture
Our International Mixture is the best in the world, and we want to say to you candidly that you have never seen Gladioli until you see these flowers. This Mixture includes all the new strains, such as ‘*Gray’s Inglesides,’’ ‘‘Burbank’s California
Selects,’’ ‘‘Child-.
sii’? and ‘‘Groff’s ‘Hybrids.’’ It is difficult to describe flowers of such va- ried and peculiar beauty as these Gladioli. They are very tall and erect, often standing four
with spikes of bloom
They branch freely, in most cases each stem producing three or four spikes of bloom,and bloom much earlier than ordinary varieties.

great substance and gigantic size, fre- quently seven to nine inches across. The form of both flower and spike is perfection itself,anad they lastin blooma long time before fa- ding, owing to their great substalnce and vigor. But the most remarkable feature is the color- ing. Orchids cannot surpass them in their varied delicate shades and mark- ings and blendings. Every color known among Gladioli is represented, a 2 d many never before seen, particularly blues, smoky-grays and purple-blacks, all having beauti- fully mottled and spotted throats, made up of white, crimson, pink, yel- low, etc., and in this particular network of charming spots and colors lies one of its special points of unsurpassed beauty. They far outrank all other Gladioli in size of spike, size of bloom, vigor, varied and magnificent coloring and freedom of bloom. Be sure and plant some of our International Mixture. 5 cents each, 50 cents per dozen, $3.00 per hundred.
GLADIOLI TO COLOR
Our mixed Gladioli are made up from splendid named sorts, brightest and most varied colors—white, yellow, pink, rose, blush, intense scarlet, carmine, violet, striped, blotched, varie- gated, etc. Allold, common and poor sorts have beed discarded. This mixture is of the highest grade. : ‘

The Wonderful New Lemon Ponderosa
Our New Ponderosa Lemon is What We Claim for It! Largest, Freest Blooming, Fruiting and Most Delicious of All Lemons.
Nothing that has ever been brought to our notice in the plant line has caused half the commotion that this wonderful Lemon has. It is a true ever-beating variety. On a plant six feet high no less than eighty-nine of the ponderous Lemons were growing at one time. It was a beautiful sight to see. The tree was blooming, and at the same time had fruit in all stages of development, from the size of a pea up to the ripe fruit, showing it to be a true ever-bearer. Fruit has been taken from this tree weighing over four pounds. The Lemons have very thin rind for such large fruit. It is the juiciest of all Lemons, makes delicious lemonade, and for culinary purposes cannot be excelled. We have the entire stock of this ponderous Lemon, and guarantee the trees to produce the same large fruit. No budding or grafting necessary. Ponderosa Lemon is sure to become pop- ular when it is known. It fruits when quite small, and makes a lovely house plant. Everybody can grow his own lemons; it will fruit freely each year.
From the Houston Post, December 9, 1906.
Harry Adams, landscape gardener for the Sunset at San Antonio, has presented Col. T. J. Anderson a monster Ponderosa lemon from the Sun- set tropical botanical gardens at the depot in that city. There were thirty- eight lemons on this tree, and the one sent is one of the largest, weighing about three pounds. It is estimated that this single lemon will make two gallons of good lemonade or two barrels of the circus variety, or material for two dozen lemon pies, or sour enough-to impart flavor to one hundred and fifty sour toddies, or lemon peel sufficient to decorate two hundred cocktails. Colonel Anderson sent the monster lemon to the office of Traffic Manager C. K. Dunlap.

The flowers are pure white, from five to six inches in diameter, emitting a rich Jasmine-like odor at night. The Moon Flower is a_ tender plant, but it can easily be kept in the house over winter.

the much sought for blooms of Southern Orange groves. Ota-
heite fruits immediately after flowering, bearing fruit about one-
half the size of the ordinary Orange, retaining in a marked de-
‘gree its sweetness. This unique Orange cannot be equaled as a winter-blooming pot plant for house culture. Requires but
little sunlight, and flowers and fruits when but twelve to fifteen
inches high. As a pot plant this lovely dwarf Orange is one of
the most novel and beautiful that can be grown. With a couple
of plants of it you can have an abundance of the far-famed
delicate and fragrant Orange blossoms. We have grown 2

_ THE KING OF ALL SHRUBS New Hydrangea Arborescens Grandiflora Alba
The Most Valuable Hardy Shrub Ever | Introduced.
Well Named ‘‘ Hills of Snow.’
This magnificent hardy American Shrub is the very finest addition to this class of plants found in many a year. The
. blooms are of the very largest size, of pure snow-white color,
and the foliage is finely finished. One of its most valuable char- acteristics is its coming into bloom just after the passing of all the early spring shrubs, while its long season of bloom, from early June through August, renders it doubly valuable, not only to the florist, but to every owner of a garden; perfectly hardy, standing twenty degrees below zero. The form of the panicles is much like that of Hyd. Hortensia; the habit of the plant is excellent; it is bound to become the most widely grown and the most useful of all the Hydrangeas, and the most valuable shrub found in the American garden. Young plants, 15 cents each;
two for 25 cents; strong two-year-old plants, 40 cents each; three for $1.00.

THOMPSON’S ROSE NICOTINE.
Thousands of lovers of flowers and plants have been so dis- couraged in their efforts of growing them, due to the ravages of the Rose Bug and other insects, that they have given up in despair. Many have tried Paris Green, Hellebore, Kerosene Emulsion, Tobacco Water, Soaps and dust and some proprietary products ‘without effect, unless used strong enough to kill the plant, or if fairly effective the odor, or the powder, has been so disagreeable as to prevent its use.
‘
Equally as much trouble with insects is experienced in raising fruit or growing vegetables, and viewed from a financial stand- point it is of greater importance. Something should be used as an insecticide that is odorless and leaves no residue or sedi-
ment after spraying, and such a product is found in Thompson’s : ie
