. Beautiful flowers : spring 1895. Nursery stock Iowa Cedar Falls Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. BRIDESMAID. Teas and Everblooming Varieties. New Varieties. Bridesmaid. A delightful new tea rose, a sport from the old and popular pink tea, Catherine Mermet, but of a fine, clear dark pink, much deeper and more constant in color than Mermet. It is now very gen- erally used by the mammoth cut flower establishments as a substitute for the Mermet, by reason of its richer color and greater reliability. It will naturally be as- sociated with the beautiful Bride rose, which it resem- bles in shape. 15 cents each. Mad. Caroline Testout. (Hybrid Tea.) Mr. E. As- mus, the celebrated rose grower, says: " This rose is the best hybrid tea the French have sent out up to date. There is nothing I know of in the rose line that can approach it in color, and the flower is as large as Baroness de Rothschild and as free as La ; The color is a brilliant, satiny rose, deepening at center to clear red. It is of excellent substance, holds its color well, and its splendid, large globular flowers are unsur- passed in beauty. 15 cents each. Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. (Hybrid Tea.) A deli- ciously fragrant white rose, the perfume resembling that of the magnolia. A strong, vigorous grower and a constant bloomer. The flowers are so double that the petals seem to crowd each other, and are of the very largest size; pure white with occasionally a center of shining yellow; somewhat resembles the Bride in shape. 15-cents each. The above three for 40 cents. (See Page 4.).
