HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSE, 



"EDMUND WOOD." 



We are gratified to find that our friend M. Vekdier, 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. 

 la a special circular containing the 

 ■ames of his choicest New Varie- 

 ties, he thus describes it : Edmund i 

 Wood; tree vigorous, with short j 

 . 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- 

 rvmbs of 6; color lively, bright 

 cnerry red, reverse of petals, car- 

 mine — admirable. This variety is 

 comprised in the series to which the 

 cilver gilt medal was awarded by 

 the Paris Horticultural Society in 

 May and June, 1875. We can now 

 supply nice young plants in 3-inch 

 pots of this variety, together with 

 atl the new ••Hybrid Perpet- 

 WgA»" issued by Mr. Verdier in 

 1876, at greatly reduced prices. 



We have flowered Edmund Wood 

 and some others of the set, and find 

 theinjtistly up to the descriptions. --^^
