Autumn is a good time to get them planted. _/-n *DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. This glorious Rose received ^â-/" ',i first place among the yellow varieties in the New England ^^ '^( and Middle Atlantic States when counting the votes from the members of the American Rose Society showing their "favored Dozen Roses." As a garden variety it has proved itself one of the most satisfactory saffron-yellow Hybrid Teas ever introduced. The long-shaped, handsome buds are intense saffron-yellow, stained with rich crimson, which, as the flowers develop, becomes deep, coppery, saffron-yellow. The blooms are fairly full; petals large and of great substance. Free-flowering and intensely fragrant. ^FLORENCE PEMBERTON.

A splendid cut-flower as it lasts well when cut. ^GOLDEN EMBLEM. This Rose makes perfect, long, shapely buds of rich yellow, with flames of crimson at times on the outer petals opening to a fragrant, full, firm flower. *KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORLA. Color, soft white, slightly tinged lemon-yellow. Extra-large, exquisitely formed flow- ers borne singly on strong upright stems, making it very popular as a cut-flower. Buds are long and the flowers very full, deep, and sweet-scented. *MRS. AMBROSE RICARDO. A magnificent, large-flowered Rose, strong-growing and very free in bloom. The flowers are quite double, of good form, and exquisitely colored a tender flesh-pink overlaid with honey-yellow, the yellow shade predominating. Very sweetly scented. A Rose we can highly recommend. Order at least ten of this choice variety so that you can have flowers for cutting all season. *MRS. S. K. RINDGE.
