THE HORTICULTURAL ADVERTISER. 



HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSE, 



"EDMUND WOOD." 



We are gratified to find that our friend M. Verdier, the most celebrated Rose grower of France, has considered our establishment 

 of sufficient importance to name 

 one of his finest New Seedlings 

 after our Mr. Edmund M. Wood, 

 In i special circular containing the 

 names of his choicest New Varie- 

 ties, he thus describes it: Edmiin' '~' 

 Wood; tree vigorous, with sho 

 reddish-green branches and numer 

 ous dark brown spines, leaves con 

 sisting of 3 to 5 leaflets oval, dark 

 green ; Flowers, large, full and 

 perfect in form, growing in cho- 

 rymbs of 6 ; color lively, bright 

 cnerry red, reverse of petals, car- 

 mine — admirable. This variety . 

 comprised in the serie.^ to which ih 

 silver gilt medal was awarded b 

 the Paris Horticultural Society in 

 May and June, 1875. Depending 

 upon the correctness of this descrip 

 tion and the well-known veracitj 

 of Mons. Verdier, we have ar- 

 ranged for the importation in quan- 

 tity of this variety w'th all the 

 others raised last year in Europe, 

 and shall offer it to the public of 

 the United States on and after May 

 ist, at 82 each. Orders will be executed in strici pnuiio ..s ii.,.y arc leccived

THE 



NEW BLOOD BIRCH 



AND 



YELLOW WEEPING ELM. 



The New Weeping Elm— Ulmus Fulva Pendula, 



Is one of the most striking additions to our Ornamental Trees that we have introduced for some time. The branches are ex- 

 tremely vigorous ; some from a height often feet arching over and touching the giound in a single sea.son. It will be Immensely 

 popular, and nurserymen will do well to secure a plant for a specimen on their grounds and for propagation. 



THE NEW BLOOD BIRCH promises to be even more popular than the celebrated Blood Beech. We have grown It the past 

 year and find it all that has been claimed for It in Europe. A Limited Stock of each of the above is now offered at 9C.00 each.
