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 

 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 slu: 

 reddish-green branches and numci 

 cus dark brown spines, leaves con- 

 •isting of H 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 is 

 comprised in the series to which the 

 silver gilt medal was awarded by 

 the Paris Horticultural Society in 

 May and June, 1875. We can now 

 supply nice yoimg plants in 3 inch 

 pots of this variety, together with 

 all the new "Hybrid Perpet- 

 nalB" issued by Mr. Verdier in 

 1876, at greatly reduced prices. 



We have flowered Edmund Wooc 

 and some others of the set, and find 

 them justly up to the descriptions.
