A Select List of

NEW and SCARCE ROSES

All Field grown, 2'jear budded on Multiflora

We try out most of the newest novelties and only
offer such as we think worthy of further trial. We
have tried to give our opinion of each rose as it
appealed to us.

Each

Angele Pernet, vivid coppery orange, too single,
and growth leaves much to be desired . . .50

Aspirant Marcel Rouyer, deep apricot yellow,
vigorous and free flowering, rather good . 50

Bedford Crimson, very full, free flowering
crimson, growth is moderate and spreading.
Desirable . 75

Cuba, very brilliant orange scarlet, w'onderful
color but too single and too fleeting . . 50

Dame Edith Helen, large, very double, perfectly
formed, soft pink and very fragrant. Growth
vigorous and we think it will make a good
addition to the list of standard sorts. $6 per
10; $50 per 100 . 75

Doris Dickson, orange-carmine, fairly vigorous
and an attractive flower . .75

Etoile de Hollande, brilliant crimson red, fine in
every respect. $6.50 per 10 ; $60 per 100 .75

Etoile de Feu, full double salmon flame, vigor¬
ous and free flowering ; beautiful glossy
foliage which seems quite resistant to dis¬
ease . 50

Henry Ford, a lemon yellow Independence Day.

Good . .50

Irish Hope, rich crimson, maroon shadings,

attractive . .50

John Russell, an improved H. V. Machin. Not
very free-blooming but bears striking full
double flowers of a rich deep crimson .60

Each

Lady Margaret Stewart, deep yellow, veined
and splashed with orange and scarlet. Highly
recommended but so far we are not especially
impressed . 75

Mrs. A. R. Barraclough, soft carmine pink, very
large beautifully formed flowers. The bushes
are vigorous and free flowering. Worthwhile. .60

Julien Potin, the golden Pernet; better formed
flowers, more freely produced. Good . 65

Marion Cran, The exquisite shadings and tints
of this rose are impossible to describe.
Flowers are medium in size, a rich yellow
shaded and tinted with red and cerise. A
worthy novelty . 65

Margaret McGredy, very vigorous and free-
flowering; deep coral red. Seems good . 60

Mrs. Erskine Pembrcke-Thcm, a fine free-
flowering, rich yellow. Vigorous in growth
and beautiful healthy foliage. $5 per 10 . 60

Mrs. Henry Bowles, deep salmon-pink, well-
formed flowers. Highly recommended but we
are not very much impressed . 50

Mrs. John C. Mensing, a lovely shade of soft
pink, otherwise in habit and growth like
Ophelia. $4.50 per 10 . 50

Mrs. Lowell Swisher, a vigorous, free-blooming
salmon pink. Flowers are full double and
quite attractive. $4 per 10 . 45

Mrs. R. B. Maloney, large loose flowers of a
rich pinkish carmine . 50

Mrs. W. E. Nickerson, very vigorous and free-
flowering. Well formed flowers of an orange-
yellow, shading to a rosy salmon. Would
really be classed with the pinks but it is good. .50

Norman Lambert, well formed buds of a deep
yellow with pencilings and shadings of a
deeper color. Very attractive. $5 per 10 . 60

Patience, a long high-pointed bud of deep car¬
mine, opening to an immense semi-double
flower of a rich rosy carmine . 1.00

Each

Pink Pearl, a splendid, vigorous, free-flowering
and very fragrant rose somewhat similar to
Columbia, only it produces more perfect
flowers than that variety. $4 per 10 ; $35 per

100 . . . . . . .50

Rev. Page-Roberts, a very popular deep golden
yellow with rich shadings. Could be a little
more hardy. $6.50 per 10; $60 per 100 . 75

Sir David Davis, a vigorous very free-flowering
crimson. The flowers are well formed,
medium in size and are very freely produced.

We recommend it. $4.50 per 10, $40 per 100... .55

NEW BABY RAMBLERS
Orange Perfection, brilliant orange scarlet, a
striking color. It does well in the garden
giving a wealth of bloom and we understand
it is also satisfactory for forcing. It has a
tendency to revert. $4.50 per 10 ; $40 per 100 .55

Golden Salmon, pure orange scarlet, very sim¬
ilar to Orange Perfection and almost indis¬
tinguishable outdoors but we believe it does
not revert quite so readily and has slightly
the better color. $5 per 10; $45 per 100 . 60

5 go at 10 rate, for less than 5 of a variety add 10 cents to
the 10 price of each bush. 25 of a variety go at the 100 rate ,
less than 25 @ 10 rate. Assortments of 10 of an item
should be figured at the 10 rate.
