rmstranq Select FEU JOSEPH LOOYMANS A Charming Single Maid Dainty Bess. Words fail us when we try to put into words the delicate charm and elusive loveliness of this dainty single Rose, which is, in our opinion, the finest single Rose grown. The five-petalled flowers are borne in clusters of three or rnbre, each flower three inches across, delicate pink in color, with a brownish-red overcast and contrasting center of wine-red stamens. The flowers are very lasting when cut, and the bush is strong and tall, blooming continuously. 75c each. Dame Edith Helen. Though there are many fine pink Roses, this one remains a leader. Big, full, double flowers of glowing pink, freely produced on a vigorous upright, long- stemmed bush. Its immense size, fully double blooms and delightful fragrance, combined with its unusual lasting qualities when cut, make it a Rose for every garden. See color illustration opposite page. 50c each. Edward Mawley. A big, bold, handsome Rose of very dark crimson with enormous petals. Its great buds open out to great cup- shaped flowers. 50c each. E. G. Hill. Immense Howers of very lasting, dazzling scarlet, never fading or turning blue, but actually becoming deeper red as it opens. The flowers are borne on long stems, and are deliciously fragrant. The foliage is abundant. Its brilliant color, extraordinary freedom of bloom, and lasting qualities have made it a popular Rose everywhere. See colored illus- tration at right. 50c each. Quantity Rates Quantities may consist of assorted varieties. Each Rate 10 or more 50 or more $1.00 $ .90 each $ .80 each .75 65 each .55 each .50 45 each .35 each Postage extra. See page 3. Etoile de HoUande. This magnifi- cent red Rose is ranked among the first three of its color by everyone who knows Roses, and many will place it first. The perfect buds are of medium size, opening beautifully and cleanly into glorious great flowers with incomparable frag- rance, holding its brilliant color to the end. The bush is strong, free branching, and healthy. A Rose that actually has no serious fault, and every new red Rose is auto- matically compared with it. 50c ea. Edith Nellie Perkins. We fell in love with this Rose when we first saw it and our opinion has not been changed. The flowers are two-toned, orange-buff inside the petals and a rich salmon or coppery- pink outside, the orange tint giving a bright glow- ' ing effect to the entire bloom. The long stems are splendidly shaped, have excellent stiff stems for cutting, and are pro- duced in great quanti- ties on the strong, vigorous bush. The only thing it lacks is fragrance, and we can forgive that for its other fine qualities. 75c each. Etoile de Feu. Translated into English, the name is "Star of Fire" which describes it exactly, for its big, wide - spreading flower is crowded with stiff petals to the very center, radiating out to make a great star-like flower of flaming pinkish-orange. Dwarf and bushy, I with glistening healthy foliage. 50c each. _ ... , Etoile de France. A sparkling red Rose which has long been a favor- ite in its color because of its con- tinued bloom, beautiful color and rich fragrance. It is particularly good in hot, dry weather, and we recommend it for the interior sections. 50c each. Federico Casas. This variety has many richly colored buds of coppery-pink and yel- low, somewhat similar to Talisman, but the flowers are frequently richer in color than Talisman and the buds are often better shaped. The plant is a very tall grower, and the buds are always borne on long stems. It is at its best in cool weather in locations without too much heat. 75c each. Feu Joseph Looymans. This wonderful Dutch Rose has always been a favorite of ours, as it is of everyone who knows it. Produces quantities of great long slender buds of buff-yellow, shaded vivid apricot in the center, open- ing to large, fairly full flow- ers, and the bushes are sel- dom without blooms during the growing season. Growth tall and upright. There is probably no finer Rose of its color. See illustration in color at left. 50c each. General McArthur. If you want the red Rose with the sweetest fragrance, this is it. For a long time was the leading red Rose and is still deservedly popular, with its flat, full perfumed blooms. The bush is exceedingly strong and free-blooming, and the flowers are particu- larly fine in early spring and early autumn. 50c each. Golden Dawn . . . Golden Dawn has made thousands of friends since its introduc- tion from Australia several years ago. The large, oval ljuds are a rich sunflower- yellow, heavily diffused with cerise before opening, and developing into high-cen- tered, double flowers of light lemon-yellow, with the orig- inal old Tea scent. Lovely bronzy foliage. 50c each. Golden Emblem. The love- ly long buds of golden yel- low are beautifully tinted with crimson on the outer A Bronze Beauty Duchess of Athol. For novelty and intensity of coloring, this Rose is outstanding. The full, double flowers on their heavy stems possess an extremely rich shade of copper-bronze flushed with orange and old rose. The color is similar to that of Angele Fernet, but greatly intensified. Exceedingly vigorous with bronzy- green foliage, and stiff, erect stems. 50c each. petals, but offering a delightful contrast at all times. Opens to a full golden yellow flower. The glossy g^reen foliage is particu- larly fine, does not mildew, and the buds are borne on long stiff stems above the strong growing, vigorous bushes. See colored illus- tration on next page. Golden Gleam. The rich golden yellow buds, long, slender, and beautifully shaped, are heavily stained with carmine, and the gen- eral color effect is somewhat similar to that of Golden Emblem but richer and deeper. The flowers have a sweet honey-like frag- rance, and the foliage is glossy, shiny green. The plant, while not tail, is vigorous and luxuriantly foliaged. 75c each. Gruss an Teplitz. An old favorite red Rose, always covered with its bright cherry crimson flowers, which are intensely fragrant with the rich perfume that so many new roses lack. A large bush, very hardy. 50c each. Hadley. Everybody knows this old favorite, which, with its brilliant rich crimson color, vigorous growth, long stems, mildew-proof foliage, full blooms and rich fragrance, is close to the top in red Roses. It suffices to say that if you like red Roses you must not be without Hadley. 50c each. Harry Kirke. One of the few pure Tea Roses still being grown, and we highly rec- ommend it, for its long, big-petalled, sulphur- yellow buds are extremely attractive, and its stout stems and foliage are entirely free from the troubles which sometimes beset some of the newer Roses. 50c each. Hortulanus Budde. The semi-double frag- rant flowers have the same brilliant red color as Paul's Scarlet, and the low compact bush makes a continuous display of bright color. Beautiful little buttonhole buds. 50c each. Hoosier Beauty. An intense rich dazzling scarlet with darker shadings, and acknowl- edged to be one of the best and most highly colored red Roses. The beautifully formed flowers have a texture like velvet and possess a delicious fragrance. The plants are never without flowers in the blooming season and the blooms never fade or turn blue. 50c each. THE MAGNIFICENT E. G. HILL
