HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSE, 



"EDMUND WOOD." 



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

 ef sufficient importance to name 

 one of his finest New Seedlings 

 after our Mr. Edmund M. Wood. 

 In s 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 H to 5 leaflets oval, darV ^ 

 green ; Flowers, large, full and 

 perfect in form, growing in cho- 

 rymbs of 6; color lively, bright 

 cherry red, reverse of petals, car- 

 mine—admirable. This variety i? 

 comprised in the series to which the 

 silver gilt medal was awarded bj 



the Paris Horticultural Society in J 



May and June, 1875. Depending ^;JJ 

 upon the correctness of this dcscrip 

 tion and the well-known veracu\ 

 of Mons. Verd er, we have ai 

 ranged for the importation in quan 

 tity of this var eiy with all thi 

 others raised last year in Europe
