TEE HORTICULTURAL ADVERTISER. 



HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSE, 



"EDMUND WOOD." 



We are gratified to find that our friend M. Vei-dier, 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 1 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 numer- ^ 

 ous dark brown spines, leaves con- 

 sisting of S to 5 leaflets oval, dark 

 green ; Flowers, large, full and 

 perfect in form, growing in cha- 

 rymbs of 6; color lively, bright 

 cnerry red, reverse of petals, car- 

 mine — 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 correctne'-s of this descrip 

 tion 4nd the well-known veracity 

 of Mons. Verdier, we have ar- 

 ranged for the importation in quan- 

 tity of this variety with all the 

 Others raised last year in Europe, 

 and shall offer it to the public of 

 the United States on and after May 

 xst, at S2 each. Orders will be executed ii strict prioruy as they are received
