THE FINEST NEW ROSES OF THE SEASON. 



TTYBRID PERPETUAL QUEEN . VI< TORIA 



-a -a (Paul's).— This is unquestionably the finest New Rose 

 of the season ; it is a seedling from "La Heine," of which it is 

 so exact a copy in every respect, save Colour, that it has been 

 designated by some the " White La Reins." The ground 

 colour is white, overlaid with the moat delicate hue of pink, 



perfectly wax-like in appearance, and distinct from erery other. 

 Plants, in November, 10* 6d each, with the usual discount to 

 the Trade when three are ordered at once. 



CLIMBING PERPETUAL ROBERT BURNS (Paul's.)- 



Flowers light vivid carmine, sometimes edged with purple, 



large, equal to Chenedolo in colour ; like it not very double, 



but possessed of the additional advantage of flowering in the 



autumn. De&irable on account of its distinct and glowing 



colou-, and a splendid autumnal climber. Plants, in November, 

 Is. 6d. each. 



N.B. Each of these Roses has obtained a 1st Class Certificate 

 from the National Floricultural Society ; the former has also 

 received the same from the Royal South London Floricultural 

 Society. AUo a fine collection of Hollyhocks now in bloom.

DOWME and LAIRD are now prepared to send 

 out their superb White Sweet-scented PHLOX " ANTA- 

 GONIST," which they warrant to he the finest in its class. It 

 has received two First Class Certificates, and been exhibited 

 at the principal Flower Shows in and around Edinburgh 

 throughout the season, and received the highest commenda- 

 ons. It has also been twice submitted to the Editor of the 

 Gardener and Farmers' Journal, and the following is his 

 opinion of it :— 



Gardener and Farmers' Journal, 19th July. —'* Messrs. 



Downie and Laird,— Your Phlox ' Antagonist* is the best we 



have seen in its class. It is highly perfumed, and decidedly of 



first-rate form. We congratu ate you on your possession of 



the st <ck of so desirable a variety." And again, in the same 



Paper, 9tb Aug,—" We received your splendid spike of Phlox 



' Autagonist.' We prenounce it the bnest of its class we hare 



ever seen. The purity of the white, the substance of the pips 



(which are round, flat, and smooth), together with its unusual 



I perfume, renders it a truly desirable addition to the most 



recherclte collection."— Plants 5a. each : the usual allowance to 

 tne Trade. 



It can also be had of the following Nurserymen in

VIOLETS. 



nniLEYS VIOLA ARBOREA, on PERPETUAL 



-i. TREE VIOLET (Taos).— In answer to numerous inquiries 

 for the above, and great satisfaction given by the plants sent 

 out last season, by Edwasd Tilet, he begs to state that he has 

 this year a line stock of the above beautiful Double Violet now 

 to dispose of, which he can highly recommend, this being the 

 proper time for makiug beds or potting. They are beautifully 

 scented ; the blooms are as large as the Double Blue Hepatic* • 

 they bloom freely from August till the end of May, and are 

 perfectly hardy. Twelve of these plants grown in pot* will 

 scent a large gretmhoune ; and a small bed, 9 feet long by 8 feet 

 wide, will be sufficient to furnish a family with bouquets, the 

 whole of the winter and the spring. They should be .anted in 

 rather a dry situation and a loose soil, ap the Violet wul thrive 

 and bloom nner than in wet or clay borders. 



E. T. has been informed by the gentleman that introduced it 

 into this country, that he ha* seen them growing in the thickets 

 of Persia to the height of 4 feet, with large bushy heads to them 

 and hundreds of blooms on them at the same time. Large 

 bushy plants, 6s. per dozen ; smaller ditto, 8s. per dozen or 

 11. per 100. Any quantity of the above will be sent postage 

 and package free. ^
