Tuberous Begonias are grand for either in or outdoor culture. The soil should be one part leaf mould, or the turfy soil
scraped from the bottom of old sod. Add one part good garden loam and one part sand. Mix well together. Where planted
singly, give each tuber a five-inch pot, three tubers in a seven-inch pot is better. Out of doors give them a partially shaded
position. They do well on the north side of a house. Water very cautiously until active growth starts, then gradually in-
crease the amount. No plant will give more bloom.

them. How you can furnish such fine plants so cheaply
is a wonder to me, and I shall make it a point to recom-

THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES

We here offer what is good in the New Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses.
They are the best that England, France, Luxemborg, Germany,
Ireland, Italy, Holland and America can produce.

you must try these New Roses.

ALEXANDER HILL
GRAY (Alex. Dick-
son, 1911.)—The re-
spect of all Rose
lovers warrants the
issuing of a cham-
pion Rose, and a
Tea at that, to pay
due homage to one
of the world’s great-
est Tea Rose grow-
ers. It is wonder-
fully floriferous, ev-
ery shoot being
crowned with a
flower bud, which
develops into a
bloom of very large
size, great substance
and perfect forma-
tion, with high
pointed center from
which the _ petals
gracefully reflex.
The best and largest
pure yellow Tea
Rose yet introduced.
Its color is a solid
deep throughout.
“Marechal Niel’’-
like lemon-yellow ;
strongly tea scented.
Gold medal N. R. S.
20 cents; two-year
plants, 50 cents.

AVIATEUR MICHEL
MAHIEU-— (Soupert
& Notting, 1913.)—
Coral-red with vivid
center, large, of
perfect form; very
fragrant; growth
vigorous, very florif-
erous. An _ invalu-
able Rose for all
purposes. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

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
varieties. 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 England. Those who have had the pleasure
to see this magnificent Rose blooming at Portadown will
never forget the sight. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

CHANOINE BINET DE ROYS (Perdriolle, 1913.) — Brilliant
crimson, shaded velvety crimson. Hardy and _ floriferous;
one of the very best of this shade. Congratulations of the
jury at Lyons. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 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 this truly remarkable Rose. You have all been
looking for the black Rose, and here it is. The most won-
derful color and texture even 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, blooming 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.

CHRISSIE MACKELLAR (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)—A gorgeously
beautiful Rose, combining in charming combination the fol-
lowing tones, tints and colors: Crimson-carmine, deep rich
ochrey-madder, becoming a delicate but bright orangey-pink
as the flower develops. It is one of the most delightfully
color-toned Roses we have had the pleasure of seeing. It is
strongly and deliciously pure primrose-tea scented. 25 cents:
two-year plants, 50 cents.

Double White Killarney.

To have what is good

COLLEEN (McGredy,
1914.) — Brilliant
rose, shaded _ rose-
pink with deeper
rose-crimson veneer-
ing and _ distinct
ereamy - yellow
ground, never fad-
ing until the petals
drop. The flower is
quite full with enor-
mous petals and

Roses. Very free

cents.

COLONEL GRUAU
(Perdriolle, 1912.)—

large flowers pro-
duced in profusion.
Certainly a glorious
Rose. 20 cents; two-
year plants, 50 cents.

COUNTESS OF
S H AF TESBURY
(Hugh Dickson,
1911.)—This_ splen-
did Rose is the most
perfect type _ of
Hybrid Tea. Its large
and perfectly formed
flowers are produced
in endless profusion.
In color it is bright silvery-carmine, flushed pale shell-pink
at the edges of the petals, giving a delightful 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. 20 cents; two-
year plants, 50 cents.

CRIMSON QUEEN—A very strong upright grower, flower large
and full. Color a rich bright velvety crimson. A grand
garden Rose as it is always in bloom. 25 cents; two-year
plants, 60 cents.

rose tints; flowers large, globular and double, opening into an
immense flower of charming loveliness. Extremely fragrant.

ter fawn. Outside of petals flushed red, tinted copper and
yellow. Double, full flowers and continuous bloomer. 20
cents; two-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 improve-
ment 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; two-year plants, 50c.

DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY—(Budlong, 1912.)—A_ pure
white 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 forcing Rose. 20 cents;
two-year plants, 50 cents.

DUCHESS OF NORMANDY (Le Cornu, 1913.)—Soft salmon-
flesh overlaid with yellow. A grand Rose-viewed from any
standpoint. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60. 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 pop-
ular Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

EDITH PART (McGredy, 1913.)—Rich red with a suffusion of
deep salmon and coppery-yellow with a deeper shading in

velous outstanding qualities is now regarded by rosarians as

dark crimson Roses. <A true perpetual flowering Hybrid Tea

EUGENE BOULLET (Pernet Ducher, 1910.)—We were greatly
pleased with the promise of this Rose last year, and are now

suited as to soil and position, and produces flowers in great
abundance. The blooms are large and full of substantial
form and texture. We fully expect this variety to rank at
the very top of red garden Roses for massing. Color deep
crimson and carmine. A sheet of gorgeous color. 20 cents;
two-year plants, 50 cents.

with a lemon tinge, as the flowers age they become a pure
white, the blooms are even larger than Paul: Neyron.
Its habit is absolutely perfect and the freedom with
which it flowers is marvelous. We consider this Rose the
grandest of all whites for bedding. For size and substance
has no equal among Hybrid Teas. Is very sweetly perfumed.
Gold. medal National Rose Society. 35 cents; two-year
plants, 75 cents.

beautiful buds that remain in shape a long time, having
great. substance. It comes with long stems, and with its
unique color, it forms a combination that at once places it
in the front rank of all Roses. The color is old gold or
coppery-yellow, flamed with ruddy-crimson. Certainly a
most glorious Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

JONIKHEER J. L. MOCK (Leenders, 1910.)—This grand Rose

is the strongest growing in the Hybrid Tea class. The
blooms, which are produced with the greatest freedom, are
carried on stiff and erect stems, and are of the largest size,
of perfect formation and highly perfumed. Color clear im-
perial-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 yvalu-
able addition. The largest flowers of all Hybrid Teas. A
wonderful Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

KILLARNEY BRILLIANT (Alex. Dickson, 1914.)—The intro-

ducers are to be congratulated sixteen years after the ad-
vent of Killarney in giving us this distinct novelty which is
undoubtedly the best of the Killarney type. Killarney Bril-
liant has the same habit of growth and the same freedom
of bloom as its parent, while the flower is more double. The
color is a very brilliant pink and varies like Killarney. In
the garden in bright weather is clear pink, and in dull
weather almost a crimson. Extra. 25 cents; two-year plants,

60 cents.
KILLARNEY QUEEN (Budlong, 1912.)—A cerise-pink sport of

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,

ang for high grade bloom it is a very superior variety.
Forces fine. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

KING OF SIAM (Brauer, 1913.)—Bright red of fine form and

of exquisite fragrance. Carried on long stiff stems, growth -
very vigorous; hardy; very free and perpetual flowering.
Fine all around Rose; none better. 25 cents; two-year
plants, 60 cents.

LADY DE BATH (Benj. Cant, 1911.)—A grand garden Rose.

Color, creamy-white, with golden-yellow markings in the cen-
ter petals; extra fine. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

LADY DOWNE (W. Paul, 1911.)—A splendid bedding Rose,

with large handsome flowers on stout stems. For a Rose
the color is quite peculiar, being a beautiful shade of buff.
When fully open the center is deep yellow, and it matures
finely into a pleasing light yellow shade. 20 cents; two-
year plants, 50 cents.

LADY DUNLEATH (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)—A Rose with long

pointed chaste petals, an intermingling of deep ivory, creamy-
white, with egg-yolk yellow zoned petals of extreme beauty.
Intense but delicately and deliciously Persian tea fragrance.
Especially valuable for garden decoration, being marvelously
free and continuous blooming. 20c; two-year plants, 50c.

LADY HILLINGDON (Lowe & Shawyer, 1910.)—At the Detroit

Rose show 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 peculiarity 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 with 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, Geer intense golden-
yellow ; forces well. Awarded gold medal, N. R. S. 20. cents;
two-year plants, 50 cents.

LADY KATHERINE ROSE (Bide, 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 tnique 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. 20c; two-year plants, 50c.

attractive and decorative. Gold medal N. R. S. 25 cents;
two-year plants, 60 cents. :

LADY PIRRIE (Hugh Dickson, 1911.)—A delightful garden
Rose, of very distinct coloring. Stands at the top of the
“Fancy Roses.’’ The outside petals are reddish-salmon ; in-
side apricot, flushed fawn and copper. An ideal variety for
bedding. Color, freedom of growth and abundance of bloom
are bound to put this Rose in the very forefront of garden

year.plants, 50 cents. ; : :

LADY REAY (Benj. Cant, 1911.)—An attractive bedding vari-

year plants, 50 cents. :

LEMON QUEEN (Hobbies, 1913.)—Lemon-yellow. The build
of the flower is a refined ‘‘Druschki.” The fragrance is de-
licious and is a desirable attribute. A Rose par excellence.
25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

LITTLE DORRIT (Paul & Son, 1912.)—Creamy-yellow, the
outer petals heavily edged and splashed with vivid blood-red
and coppery-rose; when quite open a beautiful silvery-pink,
contrasting finely with the deep half open buds; most effec-
tive, very free and perpetual. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50c.

LOUISE LILIA (Lambert, 1913.)—Deep blood-red, almost black,
perfect form; delicate perfume. The color is most striking
and effective. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

MABEL DREW (Alex. Dickson, 1911.)—A truly magnificent
Rose, superb in every respect. The blooms are large and
full, carried on strong and erect flower stalks; the color is
deep cream on first opening, passing to intense canary-yel-
low in the center as the bloom develops; has the delicious,
refreshing perfume of the Tea Roses. Awarded by a unan-
imoug vote the gold medal of the National Rose Society. 20
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

free. Fine bedding Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50c.

MADAME CHARLES DUBREUIL (Guillot, 1913.)—Growth vig-
orous. The color is a salmon-rose, shaded carmine on the
reserve of the petals. Very large, full and of fine form.

= Extra. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

orous and upright. Large oval buds carried on erect stems.
Flowers very large and very double; of globular form.
Color, clear silvery-rose, with vivid center. 20 cents; two-
year plants, 60 cents.

MADAME CHARLES LUTAUD (Pernet Ducher, 1912.) —A
fine, vigorous grower, with erect branching habit.. Stems
are almost thornless; foliage broad and nicely bronzed; bud
very long and pointed on long stems. The bloom is large
and full. Color, rich chrome-yellow, with rosy-scarlet on
the outer petals. Has Marquis Sinety blood, but very dis-
tinct from that variety. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

MADAME EDMOND ROSTAND (Pernet Ducher, 1912.)—De-
lightfully free. Strong grower, with but few thorns and
small ones at that. Bud long and beautifully formed, open-
ing into a surprisingly large, full flower with immense outer
petals. Color, clear pink, with salmon shadings and red-
dish-orange center, every tint clear and beautiful. The
finest of the “‘Antoine Rivoire” type on account of its bril-
liant coloring. A grandly beautiful Rose. 25 cents; two-
year plants, 60 cents.

MADAME G. SERRUIER (Soupert & Notting, 1910.)—Mother-
of-pearl white, beautifully flushed and tinted with baby-pink.
The flowers are formed as perfectly as a Camellia flower.
Blooms from June till winter comes. A fine Rose. 20 cents;
two-year plants, 50 cents.

MADAME JEAN LILLE (Dubreuil, 1913.)—A beautiful shade
of pink with tones of flesh color, and a center of deep golden-
yellow. A very free flowering Rose and extremely attractive.
25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 5

MADAME JULES BOUCHE (Croibier, 1911.) —A beautiful
white, suffused with salmon-pink center, deeply shaded with
virginal-pink; large and full. This Rose has won numerous
medals and awards. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

MADEMOISELLE BLANCHE MARTIGNAT (Gamon, 1904.)—
Like so many of the good continental Roses, we just hap-
pened 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 probably 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-

, Dink, with tints of yellow and crimson, the same colors as
"geen in the Aurora Borealis, 20 cents; two-year plants, 50c.

MADAME LUCIEN BALTET (Pernet Ducher, 1911.) — Rosy-
flesh, shaded yellow. Petals bordered carmine, large, full
and globular. A very free blooming garden Rose. Distinct
and useful. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

MADAME MAURICE RAFIN (Bernaix, 1913.)—Center of flower

- bright carmine with beautiful ponceau-red reflexes, outer
petals clear rose. Very large and carried on long, stiff
stems. Growth vigorous. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

MADAME P. EULER (Guillot, 1908.) — We place this Rose
among the newer varieties so that particular attention may
be called to it. Out in California and the Pacific Coast this
Rose is so well thought of that it has been rechristened
“Prima Donna.” The color is a lovely shade of vermilion-
pink, changing to silvery-pink; petals undulated or waved
on the edges; in a class by itself. We have every confidence
in it as a sterling variety with an individuality that. was
bound to command attention, and time is proving same not
unfounded. Its size, fragrance, wonderful lasting qualities,
freedom of growth and bloom with a distinctiveness from
any other Rose could not help but win a commanding place.
20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

MADAME RAVARY (Pernet Ducher, 1889.)—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 flow-
ering. Superb. 25 cents; two-year'plants, 50 cents.

MADEMOISELLE DE VALLE DE QUINTELLA (Schwartz,
1913.)—A very large and full flower of magenta-red, reverse
of petals rosy-white striped carmine, base of petals golden-
yellow. Growth very vigorous. 25 cents; two-year plants,
60 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. The best feature of Madison is that the foliage does
not mildew. All know how badly the Bride mildews. Well,
Madison is mildew-proof. 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 our list of forcing Roses. Remember, that ‘‘Mad-
ison” is the money maker. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50
cents.

MAMAN LYLY (Soupert & Notting, 1912.) — Delicate rosy-
flesh: -Very large, splendid Malmaison form, freely and con-
stantly produced. The best of all rosy-flesh colored Roses.
20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

MARGUERITE MONTAVON (Soupert & Notting, 1913.)—Very
large, of perfect form and of superb substance. Color a
bright China Rose. On account of its extreme freedom of
blooming this new Rose will take the lead as a commercial
variety, and prove invaluable for exhibition and bedding
purposes. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

MARIE ADELAIDE GRAND DUCHESS OF LUXEMBOURG
(Soupert & Notting, 1913.)—Flowers of a marvelously con-
stant deep orange-yellow coloring. Elegant form, borne on
erect stems; deliciously perfumed. This is a most superb
Rose. Awarded gold medal at Nancy, 1912. Extra fine. 25
cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

MELODY (A. Dickson, 1911.)—A most charming and decidedly
beautiful Rose, which attracted the attention of all visitors
to our Rose gardens during the past summer because of its
marvelous free-blooming qualities. The blooms are of good
size; the color is an intense, pure, deep saffron-yellow, with
primrose edges, a delightful color harmony. A Rose of the
highest merits. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 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
decoration. The color is a deep glowing crimson; a flower
you want to linger with, and which you visit again and
again. This is another most valuable garden Rose sent out
by that painstaking Dutchman, M. Leenders, of Steil-
Tegelan, who has already enriched for all time our gardens
with the grand varieties ‘‘Jonkheer J. L. Mock,” ‘‘Garten-
director Hartrath’” and “General Superior Arnold Janssen.”
Your friends will make no mistake in planting this Rose. 20
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

MI-LADY (Pierson, 1913.)—A cross between “Richmond” and
“J. B. Clark.” Color similar to “Richmond.” Large, full,
well-formed flowers carried on stiff, erect stems. Very .fra-
grant 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, 60 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 cents; no two-year size
to offer.

MONSIEUR R. ARNAUD (Perdriolle, 1912.)—Deep pink, shaded
yellow and crab-red; very free flowering and exquisitely
perfumed. A glorious Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants,
50 cents.

MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES—Continued

MISS ALICE DE ROTHSCHILD
(Alex. Dickson, 1910.)—Read what
the introducer says: ‘“‘Not since
the advent of ‘Marechal Niel’ has
any Rose excited such admiration
as this truly magnificent variety,
which, as seen growing and flower-
ing in our garden, was described
by leading professional Rose grow-
ers as a bedding ‘Marechal Niel,’
and up till the present time, our
very best effort. A very flattering
character, indeed. The color is
rich, deep citron-yellow, which in-
tensifies as the bloom expands.
This color does not fade. The flow-
ers are very large, full and of per-
fect form, with high pointed center.
The petals charmingly reflex. The
growth is vigorous and erect, and it
is free and continuous in bloom,
deliciously fragrant (Marechal Niel
perfume) ; superb in every respect.’’
Messrs. Joseph Campbell and Philip
Kreigbaum, both of whom have
spent the greater part of their lives
with Roses, say: ‘Miss Alice de
Rothschild is a wonder. You can
put your last dollar on her being
a winner.” 20 cents; two-year
plants, 50 cents.

MRS. AMY HAMMOND (McGredy,
1911.)—It has an extraordinarily
deep, long, very pointed flower,
probably the most perfect shaped
and most graceful form of any
Rose grown; has no equal among
bedding or garden Roses. The
color is a blend of ivory and am-
ber shading; the amber color is
most pronounced and develops to
a bright apricot towards the base
of the petals. Many blooms de-
velop all over this apricot shading
to such an extent that it is charm-
ing beyond description. Will be
known as ‘‘Everybody’s_ Rose.”
Awarded gold medal. 20 cents;
two-year plants, 50 cents.

MRS. ANDREW CARNEGIE (Cocker, 1913.) —Sent out by
James Cocker & Sons, of Aberdeen, Scotland. This Rose is
an epoch making flower, as an old Kentish grower put it,
“9 nailer.” At the stand where Mrs. Andrew Carnegie was
shown there was a big crowd around it all the time the show
was open. Queen Alexandra admired it as she passed through
the show in the morning before the great rush of the after-
noon. One enthusiast describes it as having “lit up the
whole show.” With its handsome shape and delicious fra-
grance it combines a color that entrances. Pale lemon-yel-
low at base of the petals shading to pure white. Won the
gold medal N. R. S. 35 cents; two-year plants, 75 cents.

MRS. ARTHUR E. E. COXHEAD (McGredy, 1911.) —In this
magnificent 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
silvery sheen towards the ‘base of the petals, giving a dis-
tinct illuminated effect to the whole bloom. A truly great
variety. Awarded the gold medal of the National Rose So-
ciety. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 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
eolor that lights up well when held in varied positions of
light, very highly perfumed. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50

cents.

MRS, CHARLES E. PEARSON (McGredy, 1913.) — A glorious
orange-yellow, flushed and tinted with red, apricot and
fawn, sweetly scented; a glorious Rose. Gold medal National
Rose Society. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

MRS. CHARLES HUNTER (W. Paul, 1912.) —A strong, vig-
orous 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, upright stalks.
20 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 en-
trancingly beautiful. The purity of the transparent deli-
cate 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 convey. Awafded the gold medal, N. R. S. 20
cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

MRS. E. ALFORD (Lowe & Shawyer, 1913.)—Color silvery-
pink, large, full .flowers carried erect; strong grower and
very free flowering. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

Prince Englebert Charles de Arenberg.

(See description on page 7.)

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 eye on this Rose.
25 cents; two-year plants, 60 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 pointed center. The petals are of great substance and
beautifully 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. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50

cents.

MRS. FOLEY HOBBS (Alex. Dickson, 1910.)—This is beyond
question the best Tea yet introduced, as it possesses in a
most marked degree every quality necessary to constitute a
good and perfect Rose. It is a veritable giant among Teas.
The huge thick shell-shaped petals create a bloom of ex-
ceptional merit; color delicate ivory-white, faintly tinged
pink on the edges of the petals. Deliciously perfumed. This
Rose stands without a rival. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50

cents.

MRS. FORDE (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)—A magnificent and ex-
quisite Rose, whose large blooms, on erect flower. stalks, are
of perfect form and finish with daintiest colorings, which
are certainly unique among Roses, being stained or flushed
purest deep carmine-rose on delicate rose-pink, with a zone
of clear chrome-yellow at the base of each petal; refresh-
ingly fragrant, being delightfully and distinctly tangerine-
rose perfume. Awarded gold medal N. R. S. 25 cents; two-
year plants, 60 cents. d

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 prac-
tically all the shows, especially in the East and abroad.
This Rose has made a record the past season that its intro-
ducers should be proud of. You will make no mistake to
plant Shawyer. From the point of quality and production
easily the peer of any pink forcing Rose. Will be planted
heavier than any other pink Rose and is destined to dis-
pies ome of our old favorites. 25 cents; two-year plants,
60 cents. 3

MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 7

THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES—Continued

MRS. FRANK BRAY. (Alex. Dickson, 1912.) — This is
claimed to be a 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” during its several years’ trial pre-
ceding 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, developing as
the flower opens to a very delicate coppery-fawn, with a
shading of ivory shell-pink. 25 cents; two-year plants,
60 cents.

MRS. FREDERICK W. VANDERBILT (McGredy, 1913.)—
Deep orange-red shaded with bronzy apricot-red; growth
vigorous and very free flowering ; blooms large, of good
habit and substance. Very fragrant. Silver medal N.
R. S. 35 cents; two-year plants, 75 cents. 3

MRS. G. W. KERSHAW (Alex. Dickson, 1911.)—Glowing
deep glossy pink; large, very full flowers; of fine form
and very sweet; very floriferous; a superb and distinct
variety. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

MRS. GORDON SLOANE (Alex. Dickson, 1912.)—Pearly
flesh-white which, as the flower develops, becomes a deli-
cate coppery shrimp-pink in the center with creamy outer
petals; reverse of petals electric copper on pure deep
salmon-pink. The blooms are produced in marvelous pro-
fusion; has a delicious fruit perfume. A truly charming
Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. ‘

MRS. HERBERT STEVENS (McGredy, 1910.)—In this mar-
yelous variety we have probably the most important ad-
dition to this class yet raised. The bloom is as long, and
even more pointed than any of the ““Maman Cochet” fam-
ily; faultless in shape and form; a flower of exquisite
grace and refinement; color, white with a 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, 50 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-crimson, without shading. A grand, bold, well--
built flower, perfect in shape and form; of the most
modern type. Extra perpetual flowering. Everything
about this Rose is pleasing and attractive; fragrant. 20
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 uncom-
mon 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 7, 1911. 25 cents; two-year
plants, 60 cents.

MRS. 7. HILLAS (Pernet Docher, 1913:)—Flower large and
full, of elongated cup shape. Color deep chrome-yeilow,
very bright and effective...A fine Rose of hardy constitu-
tion. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

MRS. WALTER E. MARTIN (Reymond, 1918.)—A most beau-
tiful flower of clear bright pink, reverse of petals rosy or
blush-white; large, double, cupped shape. A very fresh
color. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 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. 20
cents; two-year plants, 50 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. Golden-
yellow, flushed white. An enormously large, full flower of
fine shape, making a magnificent effect in the garden. Growth
vigorous. This isa great Rose. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50c.

OLD GOLD (McGredy, 1913.)—Vivid reddish-orange with rich
coppery-red and apricot shadings; a continuous free bloomer,
mildew proof. Very sweetly fragrant. Gold medal N. R. S.
25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

OPHELIA (W. Paul, 1912.)—When Ophelia was sent out on its
message of Rose beauty to entrance the world, there was
placed a tablet in the hall of Rose fame to Wm. Paul & Son
that will grow brighter as the flight of time goes on. Its
lustre will never tarnish or grow dim. A more enduring
memorial than anything else in the world can give. Think
what joy and happiness, yea, peace, this Rose will produce
as the ages go by, and how modest Mr. Paul & Son were in
their description, which we give verbatim: ‘‘Salmon-flesh,

PRINCE ENGLEBERT CHARLES DE ARENBERG (Soupert &

ing Rose in sight, a grand Rose of vigorous growth and
freedom of bloom unapproached in any other variety; buds
perfectly formed, developing into a perfect open flower of
ideal form; no deformed buds. The color is a clear and
lively red without tone of purple that kills all the other red
forcers. The color is most pleasing and under artificial light
wonderfully brilliant. Growers will make no mistake in
planting this Rose heavily. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60c.

QUEEN MARY (Alex. Dickson, 1913.)—A uniquely beautiful
Rose which enthuses the hearts of all who see it and ever

shaped petals which are crayoned with pure deep carmine.
This extra touch of color gives a gloriously warm effect as
the yellow and carmine do not commingle, the petals are ar-
ranged in tip-tilted globular formation. It is most florif-

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 wonderful Rose in many ways.’’ We indorse every
word of the above. Our individual opinion is that this Rose
has unquestionably come to stay. It is in the way of
“Madame de -Watteville,” except that it has pronouncedly
yellow shades and tones. A grand, beautiful Rose. Be sure
and try this, it will please you. 20 cents; two-year plants,
50 cents.

ROSE DU BARRI (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1911.)—-A very free and
constant blooming garden Rose, of a beautiful pure ‘‘Rose du
Barri’ color; exceedingly sweet scented. Extra fine. 20.

Strong grower, producing its enormous flowers in the great-
est 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. Why
the trade fights shy of this Rose is beyond our ken. Try
it and you will become wedded to it. No prettier or better
Rose in this list. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50 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 se-
lected 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, 50 cents.

searlet color that is at once soft and bright and lasting;
the bloom is full and of the beautiful build of the H. P.’s.

Flowers very freely produced. We feel sure this will prove a
delightful companion for General McArthur and Rhea Reid.

Very beautiful. A fine decorative Rose. 25 cents; two-year
plants, 60 cents.

SUNBURST (Pernet Ducher, 1912.)—This magnificent giant
yellow Rose is a fine forcer; it stands head and shoulders
above all others of its 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. Some call the color cadmium-yellow. It makes no
difference what you call its color, it is the yellowest of all
Roses in the ever-blooming class. Belongs in the class of big
Roses; has created a sensation wherever shown. Yes, and
something more must be said about this Rose. It puts all
the yellows to sleep when it comes to bedding in the garden.

TENDER CLIMBING ROSES—Newer Varieties—Concluded

GAINSBOROUGH—We are proud of the fact that we in-
troduced this Rose. Its delicate coloring is difficult to
describe, being delicately tinged fawn, almost white and
lustrous as satin. When in full bloom it resembles a
large, fine, white fluffy Peony, but without a suggestion
of stiffness, often measuring eight to nine inches in di-
ameter. _ An. enthusiastic admirer from the state of
Oregon describes it as a Rose reminding him of a beau-
tiful girl wearing a light colored Gainsborough hat, orna-
mented with white ostrich plumes, hence the suggestion
of its name. Be sure and try this grand Rose. 20 cents;

flowers of the largest and most perfect shape and form.
The color is exquisite, being a delicate fawn with heart
of pink. One of the most be2autiful of light-colored
Roses. Don’t forget this Rose. It will make a place for

NEWER VARIETIES

Polyantha, or Baby Rambler Roses

ini Roses derived from the Climbing Polyantha.
AOR rae The plants are splendid for bedding, or as edgings for borders they are hardy.
Whlie Europe has appreciated these Roses for years, America is just be-

entire plant with bloom all through summer and fall.
Let us tell you something about these miniature Roses.

They are of dwarf habit and bloom so freely as to cover the

ginning to wake up to the fact that they have come to stay, and anyone who attempts to handle Roses without including this class
will bump into something real hard. They are useful, either pot grown or for bedding purposes or for hedge effects. They com-

pletely hide the plant with bloom from early till late.

1911.) —This Rose was formerly
named ‘‘Louise Welter.” Its flow-
ers are large and so much like
Tausendschoen that it has been re-
christened “Baby Tausendschoen.”’
It is a bush form of the “‘Climbing
Tausendschoen” or “Thousand Beau-
ties,” having all the charm in the
variable coloring in its flowers that
its parent has, being firm white,

gard to habit of growth and foliage, etc. The flowers are
of a deep crimson color, flushed with carmine, resembling
the dazzling color of ‘“‘Gruss an Teplitz,”’ This variety does
not lose its color in the hottest sun and has no purple
shades. It has received many awards on the continent, and
is said to be the darkest Polyantha in existence, It is
much sought after in America to bloom in pots during the
winter and for Easter time. 20 cents; two-year plants, 50c.

GEORGE ELGER (Turbat & Co., 1913.)—Golden-yellow buds

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 arrangements,
making as a whole a charming combination that cannot be
beaten. The color is irresistible. The plant grows like a
weed and the flowers are nearly “immortelle” in their last-
ing qualities, We believe that they will outlast almost any
other Rose in existence with their stiff paper-like texture.
This pretty Rose has taken Europe by storm and will make
a sensation as soon as known in this country. Awarded
gold medal, {5 cents; two-year plants, 40 cents.

Standard Varieties including the Hybrid Polyanthas.

They are hardy.

ANNA MULLER—This Rose is very much the same as the
Crimson Baby Rambler, except in the color of its flowers,
which are a shiny, brilliant pink produced in the greatest
profusion in large clusters. It is a splendid companion to
the other excellent members of this family. This is the orlg-
inal pink Baby Rambler.

BABY RAMBLER, or MADAME N. LEVAVASSEUR—This is
the original Baby Rambler, daddy of them all. It is in bloom
all the time, flowers in large clusters of brightest crimson. It
grows to a height of eighteen inches and hides the plant with
its bloom. A most wonderful Rose.

CATHERINE ZEIMET, or WHITE BABY RAMBLER—This is
surely a beauty and a great addition to the Baby Ramblers.
Grows to a height of twenty inches and produces double
pure white flowers in abundance. It has a fragrance similar
to Hyacinths, of free, compact growth and very attractive.

It produces a sheet of white bloom that is certainly a sight
worth seeing.

Rambler” and ‘‘Catherine Zeimet,’’ are the original pink,
red and white Baby Ramblers in the order named. They

* are hard to beat.

POLYANTHA, OR BABY RAMBLER ROSES—Concluded

Catherine Zeimet.

MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRUNNER (H. Poly.)—This
is the popular Baby Pink Rose. In the past year or
two this Rose has fairly jumped into popularity. It
always was a popular outdoor Rose on the Pacific
Coast, but recently even in the effete East and ev-
erywhere in America they are planting it simply by
the thousands for cut flowers. It has become quite
the rage. It makes a handsome miniature Rose com-
ing in sprays of three to five buds, and combines in
beautiful effect with so many other flowers in all
Kinds of floral work. Every grower should try some
of these—not only in the greenhouse but in his gar-
den. It is a very prolific bloomer and if carefully
protected 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.

MOSELLA (H. Poly.)—Bears large flowers for this
class; center of flower chrome-yellow ; edges of petals
shading out to creamy-white. A fine bedding Rose.

MRS. WILLIAM H. CUTBUSH—One of the very finest
types of the Baby Rambler Roses. It produces in
constant profusion throughout the entire summer its
pleasing delicate pink blooms in large trusses; also
extra fine for pot culture.

MARIE PAVIE—Of good size; very full and double;
borne in large clusters; white flushed with carmine;
delightfully perfumed; a great bloomer.

PAQUERETTE—This is one among the very first Baby
Rambler Roses sent out. The flowers are very double
and pure white. This Rose has many favorites.

PERLE d’OR—Nankeen-yellow with orange center; very
novel and beautiful. This Rose is dividing honors
with “Mile. Cecile Brunner” as a cut flower, being
planted very largely for this purpose. A charming
miniature Rose.

PRIMULA—Considered by many to be the most popular
of the Baby Rambler Roses. Grows to a height of
two feet. Very hardy. Always in bloom. The color
is the shade of the Lawson Carnation—beautiful car-
mine-pink. For ourselves we are very fond of this Rose.

PRINCESS MARIE ADELAIDE—A grand Baby Rambler
Rose. Flowers of good size. The color is a bright
pink, flushed with yellow; extra.

SCHNEEWITCHEN, SNOW WITCH—An ideal sort for
garden culture, having a round, compact habit, with
very full trusses of evenly disposed flowers, which
are perfect in form and semi-double. Color glisten-
ing ivory-white, with golden stamens; extra.

Newer Varieties, and a

Hardy Climbing RoOSe€S rev that are scarce

Including the Ramblers, Cl. Polyanthas, Wichuraiana, Multifloras,
Hybrid Noisettes, Setigera and Climbing Chinas.

These Roses are suitable for planting where they can climb on walls, fences, galleries, porches, pillars, pergolas, arches, etc.; in
fact, wherever a hardy climber is required. This list includes Ramblers, Climbing Polyanthas, Wichuraianas, etc.

AMERICAN PILLAR—A single flowering variety of great
beauty, which appeals to everyone. The flowers are of enor-
mous size, three to four inches across, of a lovely shade of
apple-blossom pink, with a clear white eye and cluster of
yellow stamens. These flowers are borne in immense bunches,
and a large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten.
They last in perfection 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.

CHRISTINE WRIGHT—A most exquisite new Rose, a cross be-
tween Caroline Testout and an unnamed seedling; it is of
strong climbing habit, with large, heavy, dark green foliage,
which is immune to disease. The flowers are double, from
three and one-half to four inches in diameter, borne singly
and in clusters, of perfect form, beautiful in the bud and in
the fully expanded flower; in color a most refreshing bright
wild-rose pink; it flowers profusely during June, and con-
tinues more or less throughout the season. 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
American Beauty, with the addition of the climbing habit.
Good foliage, and better blooming qualitites. One plant of
this new Rose will produce twenty times as many flowers -in
June as the old American Beauty, besides blooming occa-
sionally during the summer. Blooms three to four inches
across; has proved perfectly 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 we sell it by the tens of thou-
sands. You lose if you are slow to take hold of “Climbing
American Beauty.” It grows and blooms. 20 cents; two-
year plants, 50 cents.

CLIMBING BABY RAMBLER, or MISS G. MESSMAN—This

is a true ever-blooming Crimson Rambler, for at this writ-
ing (August 1st) it is in full bloom in the garden with enor-
mous 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. 15 cents;
two-year plants, 40 cents.

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 deli-
cate perfume; buds pointed. It very much resembles Sour.
de Pres. Carnot in color. Superb. 15 cents; two-year
plants, 40 cents.

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, ruby-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 js retained until late in fall. 20 cents; two-year
plants, 50 cents.

LE MEXIQUE—Delicate silvery-rose, turning to rosy-white,

reverse of petals light rose. Large for its class. Flowers
full, opening well, produced in clusters. Continuous and
perpetual flowering 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

HARDY CLIMBING ROSES—Concluded

RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA (W.) —
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,
varnished Wichuraiana foliage. The defects of
Crimson Rambler are its unsightly foliage in
unseasonable weather, and its defoliation by in-
sects ; the infusion of Wichuraiana blood assures
an ornamental climber which is nearly ever-
green, 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 dou-
ble, produced in large trusses of thirty to forty,
and almost every eye on a shoot produces clus-
ters of flowers. The color is intense crimson-
maroon, the tips of the petals tinged with scar-
let. The finest of all Crimson Ramblers. 20
cents; two-year plants, 40 cents.

ROBY—Inside of the petals deep carmine, outside
rosy-carmine on orange ground. Very free in
clusters of thirty to fifty flowers. Very hardy
and vigorous. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50c.

SHOWER OF GOLD (Paul & Son, 1910.) (W.)—
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 produced, which are dense-
ly clad with glossy green foliage that resists

disease. This fills the “long felt want’’ for a
“Yellow Rambler.” 20 cents; two-year plants,
50 cents.

SILVER MOON (Henderson, 1910.) (W.)—Flow-
ers very large, four and one-half inches and
over in diameter. Pure white in color, petals of
great substance, beautifully cupped, forming a
Clematis-like flower. The large bunch of yel-
low stamens in the center adds to its attractiveness. These
flowers are borne on strong stems twelve to eighteen inches
long and are delicately scented. The plant is a _ strong
grower, with large, glossy bronze-green foliage. 25 cents;
two-year plants, 60 cents.

SOURCE DE OR (Turbat & Co., 1913.) (W.)—A most beauti-
ful variety. Large for its class. Full flowers. Color golden-
yellow. A great acquisition, producing large panicles of
flowers. A decided beauty. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50c.

SWEET LAVENDER (Paul & Son, 1912.) (Mtf.)—Bright pale
mauve or lavender, with golden stamens. Most distinct.
Dense dark green foliage and many large bunches of flowers.
Very vigorous. 25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAUTIES—A Climbing
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

Tausendschuen, or Thousand Beauties.

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. Simply a wonder. 20 cents; two-year
plants, 50 cents.

WICHMOSS, or “BABY MOSS” (Barbier, 1912.) (C. M.)—
This is a wonderful break in new Roses, being a cross be-
tween the ‘‘Wichuraiana’” and ‘‘Moss Rose.” It has _ re-
tained the scandent habit of the ‘‘Wichuraiana,”’ making
long growths five to eight feet in length with the glazed
Tesistant foliage, while the bud is heavily mossed in bright
green and has the peculiar aromatic odor of the moss fam-
ily. The flowers are borne in clusters that are a daybreak-
pink in color, opening into bloom that is a good semi-double
in fullness. A climbing moss is a wonder, and “‘Wichmoss”
is the forerunner of an entirely new family of Roses; hardy.
20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

Hardy Climbing RoOSeS—Standard Varieties

Price, 10 Cents, Any Three for 25 Cents, Any Seven for 50 Cents.
Two=Year-Old, 35 Cents, Three for 90 Cents.

are borne in large clusters of small double blooms and are
very sweetly scented; quite first-class.

EMPRESS OF CHINA—Bright pink; in large clusters.

FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD—This is the much-heralded per-

This is a great Rose in California, where it is seen at its
best, although suited for general planting.

GARDENIA—Bright yellow, cream color when open; very fra-
grant and free; early flowering.

LADY GAY—Deep rich rose color, similar in all respects to
Dorothy Perkins, but the flowers are large and the color
deeper; late flowering.

MADAME ALFRED CARRIERE — Pure white suffused with
yellow at base of petals; very free and fragrant; fine for
arches and pillars. In Ohio this is a wonderful Rose, com-
pletely hiding itself with flowers. In Oregon it grows to

the roofs of two-story houses, covering the entire side or
end of a large sized house and simply a _ wilderness of

blooms.

MANDA’S TRIUMPH—Large clusters of double white flowers ;
sweetly scented.

MARY WASHINGTON—Pure white, perfectly double, in im-
mense clusters ; fine.

PHILADELPHIA RAMBLER — Glowing crimson, large clus-
ters; fine; several shades darker in color than Crimson

quickly changing to a violet-blue. A well-established plant
when in full bloom has a startling effect on the beholder.

WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS—The best of all the white climb-
ing Roses; as fine a white Rose as Dorothy Perkins is a
pink Rose.

WILLIAM C. EAGAN—A grand climber producing in great
abundance delightful rose-colored flowers.

wellowi produced in pyramidal clusters of fifty or more

ooms,

HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES

NEWER AND SCARCE VARIETIES

The first_Hybrid Perpetuals were grown from crosses between Hybrid China and Tea Scented Roses with Gallica and Bour-
bon Roses. This is a beautiful class and cannot be too highly recommended, including, as it does, many of the hardiest early
and late flowering kinds, and nearly all of the superb rich crimson, red and pink varieties which make such pleasing contrasts

to the yellow and white Teas. These are hardy.

AMERICAN BEAUTY—Not a new
Rose, but a great favorite with
everybody. It is the largest of all
red--Roses.. Always scarce. We
have_a_fine stock. 25 cents; two-
year plants, 60 cents.

BARBAROSSA (The Red Frau Karl
Druschki)—A noteworthy new Hy-
brid Perpetual that has jumped
into favor in a very,.short time. It
is very large and full; color a
brilliant tone of pure carmine-red ;*=
very free bloomer, and deliciously
fragrant. 20 cents; two-year
plants, 50 cents.

BARONESS ROTHSCHILD—An old
Rose but hard to get hold of. The
large blooms are grown on stiff,
erect canes. Color clear bright

bouquet of each individual bloom.
40-cents; two-year plants, $1.00.

CAPTAIN HAYWARD — This Rose
ranks up at the top of the list.
Mr. Crowell, the noted rosarian,
claims for this the very best of all
red Hybrids. Color deep glowing
erimson, very bright and rich, of
the largest size. We know of no
red hybrid that in any way com-
pares with it. 20 cents; two-year
plants, 50 cents.

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, bright,
vivid, intense pink, with the pene-
trating 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 say-
ing after the most thorough and
Tigid test that a Rose can be put
to that this Rose is in every re-
spect just what we claim for it.
That is, the very best all around
Rose ever introduced by anyone,
and to this we make not a single
exception. It grows vigorously, it
blooms freely, is absolutely hardy,
flowers of the largest size; the
form is perfect, the coloring un-
equaled and the fragrance de-
licious. Can- you ask more? 20
cents; two-year plants. 50 cents.

CORONATION — The flowers, which
are freely produced, are of im-
mense. size... Color shading from
flesh to bright shrimp-pink. This
is undoubtedly much the largest Rose yet raised. Awarded
the gold medal of the National Rose Society, silver medal of
the Belfast show, and first prize of the Metropolitan show,
Regent’s Park, London. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60
cents.

DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND-—A strikingly distinct and beau-
tiful Rose of decided merit. The blooms are freely produced.
Large, full and conical. The petals are unusually large,
massive, smooth and erect, building up a flower which is a
whorl of delight and possessing a sweet briar perfume. The
color is certainly novel—delicate warm rose-pink, with lemon
shading on the white base; extra fine. 20 cents; two-year
plants, 50 cents.

FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI (White American Beauty)—Has be-
come renowned and justly so. It produces flowers in the
garden that are better than American Beauty when forced
under glass. - The color is marvelously white, without a tinge
of yellow or any other shade, a pure paper-white, hardy as
an oak. We make a specialty of this wonderful Rose, our
stock being absolutely true, this we guarantee. The true
stock is exceedingly scarce. The one best hardy white Rose.
25 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

Frau Karl Druschki, the White American Beauty.
GEORGE DICKSON—The introducers of this new Rose say:

‘This is the best Rose ever raised by us. We make this
tatement advisedly and with a full sense of our responsibil-
ity. The Rose is named after the senior member of our firm,
who is now approaching his eightieth birthday. We are
quite satisfied that within two years George Dickson will be
the most popular exhibition Rose in existence. As near as
we can describe it, the color is a velvety black-crimson, the
back of the petal being heavily veined with deep pure crim-
son-maroon. The petals are of splendid shape; of mag-
nificent substance; delightfully smooth, and built to make
the form of flower perfection. We have regularly had blooms
of the highest exhibition standard quite five inches across.
It has wonderful lasting qualities, not only as to the reten-
tion of its color, but also in its shape and freshness.
Awarded the gold medal of the National Rose Society of
England, besides many other first awards at various shows
in England and Ireland.” 25 cents; two-year plants, 60c.

HEINRICH MUNCH—Soft pink, very large and full; vigorous,

fine for forcing in pots and for garden culture. Took the
sweepstakes prize at the Boskoop Rose Exhibition in June,
1913. This is claimed by many to be the pink Frau Karl
Druschki. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents.

HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES, Newer and Scarce Varieties—Concluded

HIS MAJESTY—The crimson Frau Karl Druschki. Another
Rose classed by some as a Hybrid Tea. Dark deep crimson,
shaded deep vermilian-crimson towards the edges. The
blooms are full, of great size, having wonderful substance
and depth of petals, with high pointed center. It is also one
of the sweetest perfumed Roses in cultivation. Awarded
gold medal, N. R. S., 1908. A grand all around Red Hybrid.
20 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents. : :

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-flush, a striking and brilliant color, not burn-
ing in the sun nor turning blue, as so many of our very dark
Roses do. It is very free flowering and perpetual, and de-
lights in a warm sun. The perfume is strong and very pleas-
ing. This is one of the finest novelties which we have ever

- sent out and has elicited universal admiration wherever
shown. Awarded the gold medal of the Festival of Empira
Crystal Palace, London, June 29, 1911.” 30 cents; two-year
plants, 65 cents.

NOVA ZEMBLA—A sport from Conrad F, Meyer, inheriting
all the good qualities of its parent with the added merit that
the flowers are pure white, full and sweet scented; very
fine. A Rose that will be widely planted. 20 cents; two-
year plants, 50 cents.

PINK FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI, or GEORGE ARENDS (Hinner,

. 1910.)—This is the wonderful ‘‘Pink Druschki.”” Do not con-
found it with the much inferior sort ‘“Heinrich Munch,” which
is being offered in some quarters as ‘‘Pink Druschki.” ‘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 unapproach-
able. Thank you, Mr. Hinner. You haye enriched our Rose
collection for all time. You know what some of you missed
by delaying so long in getting acquainted with “Frau Karl
Druschki.” Do not repeat this mistake with “George Arends.”

Pernetiana Roses or Austrian Briar

A new family of Roses; native of the south of Europe.

The varieties we offer are new, and were introduced by the great

French rosarian, Pernet Ducher, and Wm. Paul & Son, of England. “They resist the coldest weather and produce flowers in the
greatest abundance with strange colors not to be found in any other section of Roses.

ARTHUR R. GOODWIN—This is a genuine “‘Pernetiana,”’’ and
is perfectly hardy everywhere. The color is coppery orange-
red passing to salmon-pink as the flowers expand. A superb
combination of color; flowers medium to large and full.
Should prove a most valuable Rose. As this variety grows
from cuttings, we offer it on its own roots. 25 cents; two-
year plants, 60 cents.

LOUISE CATHERINE BRESLAU —Coral-red shaded with
chrome-yellow ; flowers very large, full and globular, pos-

MADAME EDWARD HERRIOTT—“The Daily Mail Rose.”
Winner of the gold cup, which was offered by the London
Daily Mail, for the best new Rose, exhibited at the Inter-
national Horticultural Exhibition, held in London, England,
May, 1912 (this was the greatest horticultural exhibition ever
held), and to be known as the Daily Mail Rose. In compe-
tition with the world’s greatest rosarians this much coveted
prize was awarded to M. Pernet Ducher for this wonderful
novelty. It was again exhibited in London on May 1, 1913,
at the exhibition of the National Rose Society of England,
where it was awarded the society’s gold medal. This vari-

—— et

ety is said to be the progeny of an unnamed seedling of
Caroline Testout, and an unnamed variety of the Pernetiana
class. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, of spreading,
branching habit, with numerous long thorns and bronzy green
foliage. M. Pernet Ducher describes its color as follows:
“Buds coral-red, shaded with yellow at the base, the open
flowers of medium size, semi-double, are of a superb coral-
red, shaded with yellow and bright rosy-scarlet passing to
shrimp-red.”” One of our American correspondents, a friend
of the introducer, who had the pleasure of testing it in this
country, Says: ““A wonderful Rose. The bud is long, slen-
der and pointed, the color is like sunshine on a copper-red
metal.’’ $1.00 each; two-year plants, $2.00 each.

VISCOUNT ENFIELD (A. B.)—Coppery old rose, shaded with
yellow. The inner petals are deeply tinted with carmine,

year plants, 60 cents.

WILLOWMERE—Color rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow in the
center, and toning to carmine-pink towards the edges of the
petals. Vigorous growth and erect branching habit. Long
carmined, coral bud carried on long, stout flower stalks.
Very large flower, full, and of elongated cup shape. A
superb Rose. 35 cents each; two-year plants, 75 cents.

MISCELLANEOUS ROSES

AMOENA (The Pink Flowering Cherokee Rose) — This won-
derfully beautiful Laevigata or Cherokee Rose was raised in
California, and it will sweep the state like wild fire when it
is once known. The flowers are the same as the white flow-
ering Cherokee, except that the color is a glowing pink with
golden-yellow center. Resembles huge apple blossoms. Stock
searce. We have a fine lot. 15 cents; two-year-old, 50 cents.

DOUBLE LAEVIGATA (or the Double Flowering Cherokee)—
A beautiful hardy Rose, bearing double white flowers; very
fine. The foliage of this Rose is very distinct. 10 cents
each; two-year-old plants, 50 cents.

LAEVIGATA (The Single White Cherokee Rose)—This is the
famous Cherokee Rose so well known in California. Large
pure white flowers with center filled with golden-yellow
anthers. 10 cents; two-year-old plants, 50 cents.

MICROPHYLLA ALBA—A most vigorous grower; very hardy;
bears semi-double flowers of a creamy-white. This is the
Rose Keystone you hear so much about. 10 cents each; two-
yyear-old plants, 50 cents.

RAMONA—This is a true Laevigata or Cherokee Rose. The
same shiny evergreen foliage but with rosy-red flowers.
Very much in the way of ‘Mrs. B. R. Cant’ as to color.

ly desirable. Once seen never forgotten. 20 cents; twe-
year plants, 50 cents.

WHITE. BANKSIA, or Lady Banks—A vigorous grower, in

were blindfolded, they could not detect the odor from Vio-
lets. Very desirable. 15 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents.

WICHURAIANA, or MEMORIAL ROSE (Dr. Wichura, of
Japan, 1886.)—It is difficult to conceive anything more ap-
propriate, beautiful and enduring for covering graves and
plots in cemeteries than the Hardy Memorial Rose. It
creeps along the ground as closely as an Ivy. The flowers
are produced in lavish profusion in July. They are single,
pure white, with a golden-yellow disc, five to six inehes in
circumference. It is also immensely y&luable as a Climbing
Rose, for covering arches, fences, ete. 10 cents each; two-
year-old plants, 40 cents.

YELLOW BANKSIA, or Lady Banks — Same as White Bank-
sia, except color of bloom is sulphur-yellow. Has the same
delicious Violet fragrance. 15 cents; two-year plants, 50
cents.

ALPHABETICAL LIST OF PEONIES—Continued

98—ANDRE LAURIES (Crousse, 1881.) Rosy-red; very free
late bloomer; an old and well-known variety, considered
very useful; probably the most widely planted. of any
Peony. 35 cents. :
102—ASA GRAY (Crousse, 1886.) Large, full imbricated Rose-
formed bloom; grand petals salmon-flesh; center yery full
and perfectly formed; flesh-pink, delicately dotted and
flaked with carmine and lilac; strikingly~ imposing and
valuable; a most unusual sort. From the formation of the
flower it is designated as a double-decker. 50 cents.
132—AVALANCHE (Crousse, 1886.) Crown -type; late mid-
~season. It has taken some people_-a number of. years to
tumble to the fact that this is a first-class Peony. This
magnificent variety opens like a Rose~bud. Color pure
snow-white, with a few delicate pencilings of carmine on
the edge of the central petals; very waxy and chaste; fra-
grant. One of the most superb Peonies, in fact it-is unsur-
passed by any other white Peony. 60 cents.
2—BERLIOZ (Crousse, 1886.) Enormous, full globular im-
bricated bloom ; bright currant-red ; petals tipped silver. 35c.
34—CHARLEMAGNE (Crousse, 1880.) A Peony that has many
admirers; blooms late. Color a delicate tint of lilac or

heliotrope. Grand. 35 cents.
127—CLAIRE DUBOIS (Crousse, 1886.) Rose type; late mid-
season. Very large, double, globular flowers; convex and

tufted; petals incurved and laciniated, overlapping each
other in a charming effect; color rich, clear satiny-pink
with glossy reflex. Has the beautiful silvery sheen in a
pronounced way seen in that wonderful variety Monsieur
Jules Elie. A gem of the first water. How it is possible
for anyone to be stoical enough to write a description of
Claire Dubois without using a few adjectives is beyond our
comprehension. You cannot say too much in her praise. Say
all you can and then you have left something unsaid. 75 cts.
128—COURONNE D’OR (Calot, 1873.) Semi-rose type; late
midseason. .This is the famous Crown of Gold. Immense,
Very full, imbricated ball-shaped bloom. Solid and com-
pactly built from edge to center. Color snow-white re-
flecting golden-yellow stamens that show through the petals
when looking at the flower from the side. These stamens
light up the whole flower with a glow that is simply in-
describable and which suggests the name “Crown of Gold.”
Delicate carmine pencilings on edges of a few central
petals. Incomparably lovely and one of the very choicest
and best Peonies in cultivation. An enthusiast on seeing
this variety blooming in our fields exclaimed, “‘Why, Crown
of Gold is Festiva Maxima dressed up in her wedding
clothes.” It is in our opinion the attainment of perfection
in the Peony. 50 cents.
119—DOCTOR BOISDUVAL (Guerin, 1850.) This Peony is
conspicuous among the reds by its brilliant velvety dark
maroon color. The color is simply dazzling. Flowers
very full and double. 50 cents.
22—DUKE OF WELLINGTON (Calot, 1859.) One of the
grandest flowers in our whole collection. Very large, high
built flowers of immaculate white. Simply grand. 35 cents.
41—DUCHESSE DE NEMOURS (Calot, 1856.) Superb cup-
shaped; sulphur-white flowers, fading to pure white. In
all Peonies there is nothing so exquisitely chaste and beau-
tiful as this variety in the half open bud state; excels as
a -cut flower. Don’t omit it. Late. 35 cents.
93—EUGENIE VERDIER (Calot, 1864.) (Syn. Pottsi Alba.)
Semi-rose type; early. Do not confound the name of this
variety and Eugene Verdier. Miss Jesse M. Good, who
has devoted considerable time during the past ten: years
to the study of the Peony while they are blooming, says:
“Of all your six hundred varieties I place Eugenie Verdier
first and foremost.
know where to begin to enumerate them. It is a strong,
healthy grower, with bloom on three to four foot stems.
The flower is enormously large for a Peony. Then its loose
petalage adds a distinctive charm never seen in the varie-
ties crowded with petals. Its form is ideal, being flat,
showing its great wealth of tints and blending of coloring
to fine advantage. What about its color? Simply inde-
scribable. It opens a fresh delicate hydrangea-pink with
primary petals lighter, center flushed crimson. The flower
hangs on in perfection for two weeks and often finishes
with two-thirds of the flower paper-white, the other third
in the center a decided hydrangea-pink. Words absolutely
fail to convey an impression of its exceeding great beauty.
Fragrant. Easily scores the six points of excellence.” 75 cents.
25—FELIX CROUSSE (Crousse, 1881.) 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.
Felix Crousse fills the bill. A -rich, even, brilliant ruby-
red, exceptionally fiery, bright and effective; very large,
full bell-shaped bloom. We place this in the front rank of
all red Peonies—nothing like it in color. 50 cents.
30—FESTIVA MAXIMA (Miellez, 1851.) This is not only
the finest white in existence, but in most quarters it is re-
garded as the queen of all the Peonies. Mr. Harrison says:
“This flower has reached the ultimate beyond which we
eannot go.’? It combines enormous size with wondrous
beauty, often seven to eight inches in diameter; color snow-
white, flecked with an occasional clear purple spot on edge
of center petals; in addition, it is very fragrant; a glorious
flower, impossible to describe; magnificent. 60 cents.

It has so many good qualities I hardly -

38—FRAGRANS (Sir Joseph Banks, 1805.) — Soft delicate
pink, interspersed with salmon; an exceedingly good, per-
fect bloom and a pretty flower; highly fragrant. 35 cents.
9—GIGANTEA (Syn. for Lamartine Calot, 1860.) Rose type;
early midseason. Lemoine in 1908 sent out another fine
Peony under name of Lamartine, and as Calot’s. variety

_ Was already well known under name of Gigantea we retain

-~ same to save confusion. Gigantea describes the size of the
flower so well. Ward says: “‘This is the finest of all Peonies
for cut flowers.” Enormous flowers: seven to eight inches
across, occasionally it throws a startling flower ten to
~ twelve inches in diameter on long stems. If it has a fault
it is that the stems in some instances do not support the
enormous flowers. Color the most exquisite shade of bright
pink or lilac-rose tipped with silvery-white, reflecting a sil-
very sheen; has an agréeable spicy fragrance. Quite dis-
tinct, fully as effective for decoration purposes as the larg-
est and showiest Chrysanthemums. Gigantea is a ravish-
ingly beautiful wild flower. A wonder. 75 cents.

_67—GOLDEN HARVEST (Rosenfield, 1900.) Very striking
variety, producing large tri-colored blooms, the guard petals
being blush-pink, with a distinct blush-white color, and
deepening to canary-yellow, a few of the center petals
tipped and striped with light crimfon. This Peony com-
bines cream, gold, white, pink, salmon, peach and apricot,
the total color effect of the flower creamy-pink; strong, deli-
cate fragrance; a splendid bloomer; extra fine. 60 cents.

100—JAMES KELWAY (Kelway, 1900.) Semi-rose type; early
midseason. This gentleman has been masquerading under
the name of Lady Derby for several years. Let us tell you
if any man may be called a peach, this one is entitled to it.
A very tall, vigorous plant bearing flowers of gigantic size,
a veritable giant among giants. Very double and full,
borne in immense clusters. Color pure white overlaid with
a flush of delicate bridesmaid-pink, tinged yellow at the
base of the petals. In addition to its other charms it is
surpassingly fragrant and places it in the front ranks of
desirable Peonies, easily admitting it to the society of the
“Best Forty.” A truly regal flower and should never be
omitted from any collection, large or small. Easily scores
the six points of excellence. Not more than one plant sold
to any one person. 75 cents.

27—L’ECLETANTE (Calot, 1860.) Flowers double and full;
color deep brilliant velvety crimson. Extra fine. 35 cents.

168—LIVINGSTONE (Crousse, 1879.) Rose type: late. Very
full imbricated bloom; both buds and fiowers are large and
beautiful. Color pale lilac-rose with sheen of silver; very
free sure bloomer in clusters; upright, erect grower; fine
cut flower variety. One of the prize winners. 60 cents.

16—MADAME DE VERNEVILLE (Crousse, 1885.) One of
the most charming varieties on the market. Pure white,
full and double. Extra. 35 cents.

{0i—MADAME DUCEL (Mechin, 1880.) Bomb type; mid-
season. A very large, wonderfully built flower; broad
guard petals; center bomb shaped like a huge ball; very
double and compact. The closely set central petals are
beautifully incurved as in a Chrysanthemum. The whole
flower, both guards and bomb, a solid color of silvery lilac-
pink or mauve-rose, very distinct and floriferous; holds its
form and color to the end. Indispensable. Stands among
the very first Peonies. 75 cents.

7—MADAME EMILE GALLE (Crousse, 1881.). Rose type;
late midseason. Large, double, cup-shaped, imbricated
flowers; color delicate sea shell-pink with touches of helio-
trope and lavender. This is probably the most ethereally
beautiful of all Peonies; inexpressibly grand. Not a new
Peony, but scarce and rare. 75 cents.

18—-MADEMOISELLE ROUSSEAU (Crousse, 1886.) Large,
full, finely shaped flower; sulphur-white with delicate blush
center; extra fine. A prominent Peony experts on seeing
this superb variety said that not a root of it should be sold
for less than three dollars each. 60 cents.

276—MARGUERITE GERARD (Crousse, 1892.) Semi-rose type;
midseason. Enormous, flat-shaped flower with broad petals
blooming in clusters; color delicate hydrangea-pink, chang-
ing as the flower ages to creamy-white. Many of the cen-
tral petals and even the guards have minute dark carmine,
almost black, flecks on the tips; fragrant. What can we
say of this imposing wonderful fiower. Visitors to our fields
pause in astonishment before our rows of this variety. It
looks at you from any position or angle at which you may
stand, and seems to say: “Did you ever see a flower so
sensational or beauty so radiant? Verily, Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one of these.’’ 60 cents.

beautiful variety. Fine, tall grower; fragrant. 75 cents.

the cut flower market it is known as the American Beauty
Peony; extra fine. 50 cents.

MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO: 19

ALPHABETICAL LIST OF PEONIES—Concluded

31—MARIE LEMOINE (Calot, 1869.) Enormous sulphur-
white, massive bloom, delicately shaded chamois, with nar-
row carmine edge; a sort the Peony enthusiast raves over,
but is unfortunately very scarce. Without question the
grandest of all white Peonies. You positively cannot afford
to leave this variety out of your collection. It is a wonder.
We have a fine stock. 35 cents.

8—MIREILLE (Crousse, 1894.) Rose type; very late. There
are three distinguishing characteristics of this Peony that
stand out clear and distinct. First, it is the only white
Peony without markings, tints, shades, flecks or stamens
whatsoever, being a pure immaculate paper-white; second,
it is the largest of all white Peonies. When you see Marie
Lemoine, which is one-third larger than Festiva Maxima,
you exclaim, “Surely this cannot be a Peony flower; it is
too big.””’ But look what is coming around the corner, the
mammoth flower of Mireille, fully a third larger than Marie
Lemoine; third, it is the latest blooming of all the white
Peonies, a most desirable quality to commend it, as it ex-
tends the blooming period. These three exceptionally fine
points make this the most sought after of all the white
Peonies for cut flowers. 75 cents.

{53—MONSIEUR DUPONT (Calot, 1872. Semi-rose type;
midseason. Very large, well built, cup-shaped bloom, ivory-
white; center petals splashed with huge drops of lively
carmine and lit up with golden stamens at base of petals.
The carmine dots on Mons. Dupont are larger and more
showy than on any other variety where such spots occur.
A truly royal flower. 75 cents.

OFFICINALIS SECTION

These are Earlier Bloomers than the Chinensis Section. They
are the old May-flowering Peonies of our mothers’ gardens.
Price, 30 cents each; the three for 75 cents.

OFFICINALIS RUBRA (FI. PI.)—The old-fashioned early
deep crimson variety of our grandmothers’ gardens.

OFFICINALIS ROSEA (FI. PI.) — Very large, well-formed
bloom, color deep pink; very brilliant and effective. :

OFFICINALIS ALBA—(Mutabilis.) White striped with pink.

PEONIES TO COLOR

Usually Called Mixed Peonies, all Double Fowering.

Our Peonies to color you will find unsurpassed. They are
fine large flowers with rich colors; free bloomers. The roots we
offer are strong. Be sure and try them. We have these Peonies
in white, red, pink and-rose at 20 cents; three for 50 cents.

SEEDLING PEONIES

You do not know what colored flowers you will get, but every
one will be handsome; many of them will be single and resemble
huge butterflies of white, red, pink, crimson, etc., while others
will be double. Be sure and try some of these seedlings. Do
not ask us to send any special color, as no one knows the color
until they bloom. 25 cents; three for 50 cents; seven for $1.00.

48—MONSIEUR JULES ELIE (Crousse, 1888.) Bomb type;
early midseason. This is the king of all Peonies, and is
without question M. Crousse’s masterpiece. Immense glob-
ular, very full flowers. Color an ideal glossy lilac-pink,
shading to deeper rose at the base, the entire flower over-
laid with a sheen of silver that fairly shimmers in the sun-
light. Monsieur Jules Elie is claimed by many to be the
largest of all Peony flowers. On young, vigorous: plants
we have had flowers eight and nine inches through. In
fact they are so large and handsome that but few can
realize they are Peony blooms on first seeing them. An
unapproachable: variety from any standpoint. When cut
in the bud, a good keeper, thus fine for cut flowers. Our
planting comprises some twenty thousand plants of this
grand Peony. Easily scores the six points of excellence.
75 cents.
6—MONSIEUR KRELAGE (Crousse, 1883.) Semi-rose type;
late midseason. Deep currant or solferino-red with amar-
anthine center. The French hybridists evidently spilled
their paint pot after producing this superb variety, as there
is nothing in Peonies of its color. Large, flat flowers as
big as a plate; perfect in outline. Grand in every way.
35 cents.

78—RUBRA SUPERBA (Richardson, 1871.)
brilliant crimson; very large, full
late. 75 cents.

Magnificent rich
and double; elegant;

TREE PEONIES

This is a remarkable species, developed from Peony Mouton,
a native of China and Japan. In habit of growth it is not un-
like 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 herbaceous class, are most remarkable for their im-
meuse size and gorgeous 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. We offer any color desired, our choice of varieties only,
at $1.25 each.

REMEMBER

That so long as We can ship Peonies safely during the
spring months we will do so; after it becomes too
late we will file your order for them and ship in the
fall time.

BEAUTIFUL LILY=CANNAS

Cannas are called the poor man’s Orchid because one may possess a perfect riot of color in his yard or garden for the

minimum of both outlay and labor.

They grow rapidly and bloom luxuriantly throughout a long season, requiring merely or-
dinary hoeing and weeding, and they always respond to plenty of water.

Soak the ground thoroughly. Planted in beds of any

formal shape, in rows or in front of porches and foundation walls, their rich, tropical foliage and gaudy bloom will repay their

care and the insignificant trouble of winter storage.

Novelties in Green-Leaved, Truss-Flowering Cannas

In the Truss-flowering Cannas, the individual flowers are smaller than in the Orchid-flowering Cannas, but more of them
open at a time, thus making a truss of bloom of great effectiveness.

DUKE OF YORK—Not the newest Canna, but the best pink.
It blooms prodigiously. Immense heads of large individual
florets. A clear, even pink, with throat of cream and broad-
ly edged with a border of gold. Extremely beautiful and
fascinating. 414 feet. 20 cents.

FIREBIRD—This is by all means the very best red flowered
Canna; gigantic trusses of immense flowers with petals 214
to 3 inches and over across. The color is a clear glistening
scarlet without streaks or spots of any kind. Don’t fail to

y it. 4 feet. $1.00 each.

GLADIOFLORA Remarkable for the unusual shape of the
flowers, which look like large Gladioli. Petals are rounded
and so wide they overlap each other. Color is carmine-rose,
edged with gold; beautiful. 314 feet. 20 cents.

GUSTAV GUMPFER—An ideal bedder, possessing the prac-
tical qualities of compact growth, free and continuous bloom-
ing, and self-cleaning habit; uniform flower; heads well
above the foliage. Color, the richest kind of orange-yellow;

known ‘‘Paul Neyron” Rose, and is unquestionably the most
attractive and fascinating pink Canna ever produced. 31% feet.
20 cents.

JENNIE WALLS FAHNLINE — This glorious combination of
pink and primrose arouses enthusiasm always on account of
its immense flowers and dainty coloring and unique mark-

pink, each petal faintly edged with gold. Effect is dainty,
artistic and fascinating. 4% feet. 50 cents.

KATE F. DEEMER—The grand flowers open a rich oriole-
yellow, which gradually gives place to turkey-red in throat
of the flower, this in striking contrast with the rest of the
blossom, which turns almost white. Thus two colors of flow-
ers will be on the same stalk at one time. This makes a
fascinating combination, and is -the most unusual of all
Cannas. 4 feet. 20 cents.

LOVELINESS—tThe color of this exquisite Canna is most dif-
ficult to describe. Bright ruby-red will convey the entrancing
loveliness of this most charming variety. 3 feet. 25 cents.

Beautiful House Ferns your none During Winter

There are no plants grown that are more desirable for the house than the following fine decorative Ferns. They are easily
grown, free from insects and disease, and thrive well in the ordinary temperature of the iiving room. See that the plants have
plenty of drainage and are kept well watered; never let dry out for any length of time. Every one of these Nephrolepis Ferns
is entirely distinct in every way. 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.

Warning! Do You Know About the White Fern Scale
IF YOU DON’T YOU HAD BETTER 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
pp Be to attempt to grow Ferns that have this scale, because you will fail; your plants will never look right. Buy our
clean Ferns. :

NEPHROLEPIS
SPLENDIDA

The Big
Four Fern

We place this grand variety first and fore-
most of all the Ferns. It is the most 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 “Bos-
ton,’”’ 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 in a
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 sees it
goes “‘daffy” about it. This is without ques-
tion the most splendid of all the Nephrolepis.
Be sure and try it. Young plants, 25 cents;

strong plants, 50 cents; extra strong plants, Ba “ ”
75 cents. The ‘Gold Medal Fern.

Fern has never before been of- |
fered for sale by any florist or
catalogue firm. It is a sport from }|
the now famous Roosevelt Fern,
_|and while its habit of growth is
to produce a shorter frond it re-
tains all the valuable characteris-
tics of the parent plant. The fronds]
are broad and beautifully tapered |
from base to tip; they droop just
enough to make a shapely, grace-
ful plant, permitting it to finish
with a fine full center and perfect
symmetrical spread. The pinnae
are. distinctly undulated, giving
the fronds an attractive wavy|. E Ree
appearance, which adds material- Photo of “Teddy Junior.”
ly to their charming decorative =
effect, and thin, scraggy foliage

than any other Fern ever introduced, finishing with fifty to sixty fronds in a
four-inch pot, while twelve to fifteen is the average number other varieties will
“produce in the same size pot. It is such a compact, vigorous grower that it will
ar - thrive under most adverse conditions making an exceptionally rapid growth and

Fronds of ‘Teddy Junior,” the Wonderful producing a plant of rare beauty and perfection in the average dwelling house

New Fern, 1 without special care or attention. Owing to its habit of producing the great quan-

tity of massive foliage in small pots, this Fern makes the finest pedestal plant

ever produced, and 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 gtow other varieties. Young plants, 20 cents; strong plants, 50 cents; extra strong plants, 75c.

Nephrolepis Roosevelt

THE
“Roosevelt Fern’

It is our good fortune and great
pleasure to offer this wonderful
new Fern. In genera] character-
istics 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 Bos-
ton, thus making a_ bushier,
handsomer plant. In faet, 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 Bos-
ton there is no comparison. The
Roosevelt doubles the fronds of a
Boston in a _ six-inch pot, thus
making a- much more finished
plant, and, therefore, more sal-
able. 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 ex-
ceeded 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.

The “Philadelphia Lace Fern.’’

Nephrolepis Elegantissima
THE ‘“‘PHILADELPHIA’’ FERN

The small size pinnae, or leaflets, are subdivided into perfect
miniature fronds; the side pinnae stand at right angles to the
midrib of the fronds, on edge instead of flat, giving both sides
of the main frond the same beautiful appearance. It is im-
Possible to conceive of the beauty and grace of this wonder-
ful 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 crested appearance. The fronds, like in Scotti, stand

erect, with a 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 arrangement of the fronds, allowing a free
circulation of air through the foliage, prevents the center of
even the largest specimen from becoming 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, 50 cents.

Nephrolepis Todeaoides
THE “LONDON”? 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 recom-
mend it in all respects. Young plants, 20 cents; strong plants,
50 cents; extra strong plants, 75 cents.

Nephrolepis Piersonii

THE “GOLD MEDAL FERN’’

This Fern received a gold medal from the Society of Amer-
ican Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists at their meeting
in Asheville, 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

THE ‘‘FLUFFY RUFFLES FERN’”’

This new Fern is quite different from all other Ferns. Its
distinguishing characteristics are its dark green foliage, darker
than any other Fern, its dense growth being much more com-
pact, and its irregular shaped fronds which give it the name of
“Fluffy Ruffles Fern.’”’ The fronds are very heavily imbri-
cated, 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; strong plants, 75 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
profitable plant than the Boston Fern, which has had the most
phenomenal 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 noth-
ing like the Ostrich Plume Fern in cultivation. In decorative
effect it so far outdistances the original variety that there is
positively no comparison 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 deli-
eate 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.
Youna plants, 25 cents; strong plants, 50 cents; extra strong
plants, 75 cents.

The ‘‘Fish Tail Fern.”

Nephrolepis Davallioides Furcans

THE “FISH TAIL FERN”’

This is a grand Fern, entirely distinct from any of the
other varieties of Nephrolepis. Throughout the South and
especially at New Orleans this Fern takes precedence over all
others. The ends of the pinnae are so formed as to resemble
a fish tail, giving the fronds a crested appearance, very ef-
fective. It grows into the most shapely plant of any of the
Nephrolepis. Grand for house culture. Young plants, 20
cents; strong plants, 50 cents.

Nephrolepis Scotti
THE ‘“‘NEWPORT FERN’?

Of much dwarfer and bushier growth than the Boston Ferns.
The fronds droop gracefully, and are not as long and heavy as
the Boston. It is a rapid grower, and to see it in all stages
of growth from a runner in the bench to a fourteen-inch pot
specimen will convince you that it will be in great demand as
a house Fern. This has always been a favorite variety.
Young plants, 25 cents; strong plants, 60 cents.

Nephrolepis Elegantissima Compacta

THE ‘‘TARRYTOWN FERN”?

_ The fronds are considerably shorter than those of Elegantis-

sima, and throw a great many more crowns, making it a very
bushy, compact, symmetrical plant. It forms a round mass of
foliage that makes it particularly desirable and valuable. One
of the really great Ferns. Young plants, 20 cents; strong
plants, 50 cents.

Nephrolepis Exaltata

THE “SOLD 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 any of its progeny, hay-
ing narrow fronds that are long and of very
erect growth. For this reason it is more
largely used as a centerpiece in vases than
are any of its descendants. Young plants, 15
cents; strong plants, 40 cents.

petal elegantly fringed or crimped.

EASTER GREETING—This new ever-blooming Pelargonium
was shown at Mannheim horticultural exhibition in Germany.
Planted out as a bedding plant and bloomed continually un-
til late in the fall. It will prove the forerunner of a new
race of everblooming kinds, as it rivals the Orchids in beauty.
The following description is from the German introducer,
Carl Faiss: ‘This new species is the earliest of all Pelar-
goniums, with enormous florets and clusters, having light
green foliage and of dwarf, robust growth. It blooms from
March until fall. The florets are of a fiery amaranth-red,
with five large, regular shaped spots. The first and only
kind to bloom as well bedded out as in pots, and to do so
all summer.

growth, dwarf in habit, and literally covered with flowers all
the time, and as it requires little or no attention, it is in-
valuable as a Window plant. The coloring and markings of

purple, black, etc., almost rivaling the Pansy in uniqueness of
flower. It is this combination of coloring which obtained for
it the popular name of Pansy Geranium. Strong plants, ready

HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX

This is one of the most easily grown hardy ‘perennials, and the large number of beautiful varieties now offered makes it
especially desirable. These noble flowers are not only beautiful as individuals, but the cheerful appearance of our gardens dur-
ing the summer and autumn months is much indebted to them. They succeed in any position or soil, and can be used to advantage
either as single specimens in the mixed border or as large clumps or beds on the lawn. To produce the best results, however, they
should have a rich, deep and rather moist soil, and let each clump have a space of from two to three feet in which to develop.
They will continue to thrive for several years with little attention, as is attested by the fine clumps about old homesteads. The
case with which they are cultivated, their enfire hardiness and the extended time of blooming, combined with the varied and
beautiful coloring, make them especially valuable for garden planting. The Perennial Phlox usually commence to bloom in early
summer, and are brilliant with color until after several frosts have come. They are admirably adapted for cemetery planting,
also for a low hedge or screen to hide old fences and unsightly objects. Plant Phlox; they take care of themselves and get
better each year.

CACTUS DAHLIA

So-called from their resemblance to Cactus flowers. They
are characterized by long, narrow, pointed, tubular and twisted
petals of graded lengths, giving the flowers a striking and at-
tractive appearance. Grand for cut flowers. Evcept where
noted, [5 cents each. The entire set of twelve Cactus Dahlias
costing $2.50, for $2.00.

AMOS PERRY—The best bright scarlet Cactus to date. Color
purest flaming-scarlet, with long, narrow twisted petals of
irregular formation. The blooms are borne well above the
foliage in the utmost profusion. Certainly a beauty. 25 cents.

AURORA—Very free flowering; reddish-apricot suffused with
flesh-pink shading lighter at the tips. 25 cents.

CHARLES CLAYTON—tThe strongest words of praise are not
extravagant when applied to this wonderful new Cactus. It
is the ideal in color, form, length of stem and general good
habits, beyond which it would seem little could be hoped for.
The color is a most intense crimson, so vivid as to dazzle
the eye; superb. 20 cents.

COUNTESS OF LONSDALE—For perfection of bloom, erect-
ness of stem, abundance of fiower, this variety has never yet
been equaled. On several of the plants we have counted
over 150 perfect blooms on one plant. Is there any other
garden flower that can equal it? The color is a rich salmon-
pink tinted apricot. 20 cents.

COUNTRY GIRL—Base of petals golden-yellow suffused with
salmon-rose or old gold, which is deepest at the tips of petals.

eter, of fine lasting qualities when cut. A fine garden Dahlia.

identical with Countess of Lonsdale except in two essentials.
It has a darker stem and the flowers instead of being a sal-
mon-pink as in Lonsdale, Springfield is a rich amaranthine-
red. Its beauty cannot be described. No Dahtia blooms
freer, no Dahlia is as pretty as Springfield. It lasts longer
cut than any Dahlia we know. 35 cents.

DECORATIVE DAHLIAS

These come next to the Cactus as a cut flower. They are
also very showy in the garden, being unusually free bloomers.
They are more formal in make-up than the Cactus Dahlias,
but not as formal as the Show varieties, being a happy medium
between the two. Except where noted, 15 cents each. The en-
tire set of twelve Decorative Dahlias, costing $2.35, for $1.90.
BLACK BEAUTY—Deep velvety maroon, the blackest of all

Dahlias. 20 cents.

te without some Carnations.

Excelsior Collection of Choice Carnations

10 cents each; three for 25 cents; seven for 50 cents; set of nine Excelsior Carnations, postpaid, for 65 cents.

AFTERGLOW—Very dwarf, and of a nice, bushy growth, fore-
ing very long flower stems, each individual flower possessing
a stem varying from three to eight inches in length. It has
perfectly formed flowers; color a rich, bright rosy-red. We
unhesitatingly recommend this sort.

ABUNDANCE—Flowers very large and perfest in form; color
a bright rosy-pink, with salmon shading when the flowers
are fully expanded. A very healthy grower and remarkably
free bloomer. Plant dwarf, growing about fourteen inches
high. This we consider one of the best pink varieties ever
offered, and an excellent variety for pot culture,

BONFIRE—This is by far the darkest Carnation ever seen, and
at the same time the most abundant bloomer. Brilliant dark
red, shaded with richest maroon, fringed petals, nearly every
flower being on a long stem. This variety surpasses in rich-
ness of color the most perfect Jacqueminot Roses.

DELLA FOX —Its color is almost indescribable. Of a _rosy-
orange shade, striped and flaked with carmine, never bursts
its calyx, is very free and early flowering, and can always
be cut with a long stem, a most desirable feature in the col-

ored Carnation nowadays. |

ESTELLE—One of the most fragrant Carnations we have seen.
Color a clear, bright, glowing scarlet; a most continuous
bloomer and distinct in color from any other sort offered.
Greatly admired by all who have seen it growing here.

MORNING GLORY—This variety has been greatly admired
wherever it has been seen for its desirable color, being a
beautiful light pink satin color; flowers large size and very
freely produced. Plant of grand habit and vigorous growth.
It is a superb variety.

ROSE PINK ENCHANTRESS—As large as the largest light

pink ever offered. A few blooms last season measured nearly
four inches. It has taken first prizes wherever offered.

WHITCOMB RILEY—The ground color is the faintest blush,
lightly penciled in soft pink. The bloom is fluffy in appear-
ance, exquisitely beautiful in form. One of the grandest of
all Carnations.

WHITE CLOUD—This is the largest white Carnation in culti-
vation—often measures four inches in diameter. The flowers
are of the purest white, with petals of great substance, mak-
ing it one of the very best.

ing Carnation Pinks, 50 cents.

VICTORY—Another grand new variety so distinct that it stands
alone. Awarded the Lawson Gold Medal, also the S. F.
Medal at the Carnation Society’s convention. The flowers
measure three and one-half inches when well grown. Long,
strong stems, two to three: feet. A healthy, vigorous grower.
But its color—a glowing scarlet-crimson, intense and fiery with
its rich ox-blood shadings, far and away beyond all other Car-
nations.

ENCHANTRESS — The Great $10,000 Beauty. The great for-
ward stride in Carnations is made more manifest in this than
in any other since the advent of the Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson.
It was raised by the same grower, and he pronounces Enchantress
superior to it. The flowers are three and one-half to four inches
across-when well grown. The color is a superb shade of rosy
blush-pink.

GAIETY—Color pure white, with a few narrow pink pencilings
about the edge and through the flower. Size large and full,
form very round and symmetrical. One of the best producers
beginning to bloom early and continuing throughout the sea-
son without intermission.

HER MAJESTY—Purity of color fairly glistens all over this flower.
Form is simply perfect, size larger than any other white, stem
the strongest and about thirty inches long. It is bound to
become the standard white for both winter and summer bloom-
ing, as it will start blooming July 1st and continue until the
same time a year later.

LADY BOUNTIFUL—Largest flowers of the purest immaculate
white: large sized blooms. Valuable for garden planting and
for pot culture. Very sweetly scented with that delightful old-
fashioned clove fragrance.

MAY DAY—This is the largest Carnation ever offered. It is a
wonderfully free bloomer, considering the monster sizes the flow-
ers attain. White, overlaid with pink, reminding one of the
beautiful tints seen in Azaleas.

MRS. THOS. W. LAWSON, The Sensational Carnation—The grand-
est pink Carnation, a true exhibition variety. Bloom large and
spreading, stem stiff; a good grower. All newcomers will have
to meet comparison with the Lawson. Very free for so large a
flower. The Lawson is the queen of a class all her own, just
as American Beauty is among Roses. No grower can afford to
be without it. Thirty thousand dollars was paid for this vari-
ety; highest price ever paid for any flower.

PLANTS IN THIS LIST WILL NOT STAND FROST.

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. It is of very rapid growth, the fronds set
closer on the stems than the very best type of Plumosus
Nanus, making a fuller heavier string and when cut lasts
longer in good condition than any other, and is just as good
for bunching as the old sort. We will not be surprised if
it quickly becomes the leading variety. 15 cents; strong
plants, 40 cents.

Asparagus Plumosus Nanus
The Lace Fern

This graceful climber has to a great extent taken the place
of the once popular Smilax in all fine decorations. It
possesses the advantage of being much more graceful—its
foliage being finer than that of the most delicate Fern—and
will last for weeks after being cut, the whole plant being of
a bright, cheerful green. Excellent house plants, succeeding
under almost any conditions; by pinching back may be grown
as a plant. 10 cents each for fine plants; large, strong
plants, 35 cents each.

e
Asparagus Sprengeri
The Emerald Feather Fern

A most desirable species, especially useful to grow as a
pot plant for decorative purposes or for planting in baskets
or vases. The fronds are frequently four feet long, of a rich
shade of green, and most useful for cutting, retaining their
freshness for weeks after being cut. It will make an ex-
cellent house plant, as it withstands dry atmosphere and will
succeed in almost any situation.. 10 cents each, three for 25
cents; strong plants, 25 cents.

SPECIAL OFFER No. 12

The three Asparagus for 30 cents. The three in
strong plants for 85 cents.

Brugmansia, or Angel’s Trumpet

Here is a plant for the masses. It grows easily, blooms free-
ly, and the flower is something to be proud of. The Brug-
mansia blooms indoors in winter and in the garden in summer,
The plant has large, tropical leaves, with blooms eight inches
long by six inches wide at the mouth, resembling a trumpet,
hence the name, “‘Angel’s Trumpet.”’ Pure white in color and
as fragrant as a Jasmine. Fine plants, 25 cents.

e e
New Giant Coleus, Christmas Gem
(Brilliancy, or Dr. Ross)

Leaves immense, eight to twelve inches long, looks like a Rex
Begonia, and just as beautiful. Cannot be excelled as a pot
plant. The name aptly describes the appearance of this vari-
ety, which belongs to the giant-leaved section; of strong, vig-
orous habit, growing from two to three feet high, with leaves
often nine to ten inches long, which are of bright carmine,
shading off to a deep maroon, the margin being yellow and
green, the whole leaf having a rich velvety luster. 20 cents;
three for 50 cents.

The Wonderful New Coleus, Trailing Sensation

)This Coleus is an entirely new break, as no one ever before
heard of a Coleus that trailed. It is the first and only one with
this habit. The foliage is most glorious, having a large, dis-
tinct center of bright pink or red, with a broad border of
emerald-green. No plant is more suitable or showy for hang-
ing baskets, window boxes, vases or for pot culture than this
one, as its graceful branches hang in lovely festoons two to
three feet in length. Coleus Trailing Sensation is in a class by
itself. 20 cents each. Put several plants in a basket and see
how lovely a plant may become.

CAMELLIA JAPONICA

Camellia is considered the queen flower of the South, and is
called the “‘Japonica.’”” During the month of May immense
trees can be seen in full bloom, making the most gorgeous
sights to behold. Their dark, shiny leaves contrast beautifully
with the waxy-like blooms, which come in pink, white, rose,
carmine and variegated shades. No garden is complete without
them, as they are also quite hardy in the Southern States and
require no protection or care. They are called the Royal Fam-
ily of greenhouse plants. Time of blooming is in winter and
in early spring. Requires a moderate and uniform temperature,
with as little artificial heat as possible. When set with flower
buds great care must be taken in watering—when left too dry
the buds are sure to drop. We offer splendid plants, bushy,
well-grown specimens, and all in splendid health. The varie-
ties are the best extant, the pick of a continental collection.
Plants two to two and one-half feet high, $1.00 each; the set of
twelve distinct kinds for $10.00; any four for $3.75. All our
Camellias are double-flowered. We can supply fifteen sorts
other than the twelve named at same price, all fine varieties,

CROTONS

Nothing can excel the beauty and richness of coloring that is
found in this class of plants. They are beautiful pot plants
for the conservatory, making very handsome specimens for
decorative and exhibition purposes. They are used extensively
as bedding plants, for which purpose they are exceptionally
well adapted, They should be planted in full sun, in a posi-
tion where they can be more liberally supplied with water,
which develops the most wonderful coloring in the foliage. Un-
doubtedly the most interesting and showiest bedding in our
Springfield yards the past few years was made with this plant.
They are fine for basket or vase work. Where we used to sell
dozens we now ship thousands. Leave the selection of varieties
to us. We can supply twelve choice kinds. Fine plants, 15

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-bearing 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 devel-
opment, 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 de-
licious lemonade, and for culinary purposes cannot be excelled.
We have the entire stock of this ponderous Lemon, and guaran-
tee the trees to produce the same large fruit. No budding or
grafting necessary. Ponderosa Lemon is sure to become popular
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. Thrifty young plants, 15 cents
each; strong one-year-old plants, many of which will fruit this
year, 25 cents; strong two-year-old plants, 50 cents each.

The Beautiful Dwarf Ornamental
OTAHEITE ORANGE

dwarf, compact grower, with glossy deep green foliage, which
has a decided odor of the Orange Tree of Florida, and is ex-
ceedingly floriferous, producing a wonderful profusion of pure
white flowers of the most delicious fragrance, identical with the
much-sought-for blooms of the Southern Orange groves. Otaheite
fruits immediately after flowering, bearing fruit about one-half
the size of the ordinary Orange, retaining in a marked degree
their 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 a large
stock of clean, vigorous plants of this beautiful Orange that
will bloom and fruit at once. We commend it to our friends as
a novelty of sterling worth and merit. Fine plants, {5 cents

EVER-BLOOMING TRITOMA PFITZERII

The greatest bedding plant ever introduced, surpassing the
finest Cannas for attractiveness and brilliancy, equal to the
Gladiolus as a cut flower, and blooms incessantly from June un-
til November. Plants perfectly hardy in open ground all win-
ter south of Philadelphia. Further north they must be pro-
tected or wintered in the cellar like the ordinary Tritoma. Just
bury the roots in sand; nothing more is required. Should be
planted out very early in the spring; and will commence
growth and bloom at once, growing larger and finer every day.
Plants show six to twenty grand flower stalks all the time, each
holding at a height of three to four feet a cluster of flame col-
ored flowers of indescribable beauty and brilliancy. Each clus-
ter keeps perfect several weeks, and when it fades several more
are ready to take its place. Fall frosts do not kill it or stop its
blooming, and it is as brilliant as ever long after all other gar-
den flowers have been killed. For cutting it is unsurpassed,
and the beautiful long spikes keep several weeks in water.
Strong plants that will bloom the first summer, !5c; 2 for 25c.

BEAUTIFUL AND FRAGRANT VIOLETS
Of all the delightful perfumes that of sweet Violets is the

most delicate and pleasing. If grown in the house for winter

flowers they should be kept at a low temperature, as they will

not bloom freely where it is too warm. If left in the open
ground during winter, protect with a covering of leaves.

Double White Perpetual-Flowering Violet SWANLEY WHITE,
or Queen of Fragrance—Of all the white Violets, this is the
best, either for pot culture in the house or bedded out. In
pots it grows luxuriantly and is loaded with flowers. It is
not an uncommon sight to see as many as fifty large flowers
open at once, presenting a beautiful sight, their delicious
perfume filling a whole room. 15 cents each.

LADY HUME CAMPBELL—A true ever bloomer. This is one
of the finest of all double blue Violets. It is simply wonder-
ful the number of beautiful flowers it produces. In color it
is a shade of the richest intense blue. It is a charming con-
trast with the white variety. [5 cents.

NEW IMPERIAL OR PARMA VIOLET
This is, without question, the largest, richest colored and most
highly perfumed of all the Violets. It blooms very freely, liter-
ally bending the plant with its lovely blue flowers of the larg-
est size. Its blooming season is longer than any other Violet.

old well-known variety Ipomea Grandiflora. The flowers are

ing from six to seven and one-half inches across, and are pro-
duced in such wonderful profusion that they completely cover the
vine with a veil of glistening white. Its growth is very rapid
when planted in good rich light soil, nothing to equal it as a
tender vine for porch and lattice shading. Fine plants, 15
cents each.

New Moonflower, HEAVENLY BLUE—This makes a splendid
companion plant to the White Moonflower. It is equally rapid
in growth, and a much freer blooming variety than the white

times almost hide the vines. The flowers are the most
heavenly blue, with reddish-purple rays, and six inches
across. Nothing is more beautiful. 10 cents.

Of dwarf habit. The same plant will grow and bloom for
years, and the quantity of bloom which a good plant will

out one or more flowers. All in all, it is one of the most
desirable plants we ever offered. 15 cents, two for 25 cents.

Pan=American Gladioli

(Gladioli, the Pan-American.) Our Pan-American 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,” ‘‘Childsii,’’ and
“Groff’s Hybrids.”” They are very tall and erect, often standing
four or five feet high, with spikes of bloom over two feet in
length. They branch freely, in most cases each stem producing
three or four spikes of bloom, and bloom much earlier than

ordinary varieties. The flowers are of great substance and
gigantic size, frequently seven to nine inches across. The form
of both flower and spike is perfection itself, and they last in
bloom a long time before fading, owing to their great substance
and vigor. But the most remarkable feature is the coloring.
Orchids cannot surpass them in varied and delicate shades,
markings and blendings. Every color known among Gladioli is
represented, and many never before seen, particularly blues,
smoky grays and purple blacks, all having beautifully mottled
and spotted throats made up of white, crimson, pink, yellow,
etc., and in this peculiar 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. By
