THE HORTICULTURAL ADVERTISER. 



HYBRID 



PERPETUAL ROSE, 



"EDMUND WOOD." 



We are gratified to find that our friend M. Verdier, the nrost 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 a special circular containing the names of his choicest New Varie- 

 ties, he thus describes it: Edmund Wood; tree vigorous, with short reddish-green branches and 

 numerous dark brown spines, leaves consisting of 3 to 5 leafiets oval, dark green : Flowers, large, full 

 and perfect in form, growing in chorymbs of 6; color livel}^, bright cherry red, reverse of petals, 

 carmine — admirable. This variety is comprised in the series to which the silver gilt medal was 

 awarded by the Paris Horticultural Society in May and June 1875. Depending upon the correctness 

 of this description and the well-known veracity of Mons. Verdier, we have arranged for the importation 

 in quantity of this variety with all the others raised last year in Europe, and shall offer it to the pub- 

 lic of the United States on and after May 1st, at $2 each. Orders will be executed in strict [priority as 

 they are received. 



OUR NEW DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE, containing names and characters of all the best 

 Roses, new and old, at present in cultivation, will be ready in a^few days, and may be had on appli- 

 cation.
