 carmine on a pink ground. Price, $1.00. 



Tick's Caprice. — This grand novelty is a true hybrid perpetual 

 Eose, .being a sport from the H. P. Rose Archduchesse 

 d'Autriche, therefore perfectly hardy. We esteem this one of its 

 greatest advantages, as it may be grown to perfection by the 

 amateur equally as well as by the professional florist. The flow- 

 ers are large, ground color soft satiny pink, distinctly striped 

 and dashed with white and carmine. It is beautiful in the bud 

 form, being quite long and pointed, also showing the stripes and 

 markings to great advantage, making it a valuable and desira- 

 ble variety for cutting. Price, 50 cents each.

 beautiful in the bud, of extraordinary size, and the most perfect 

 form, a grand Eose Price, 50 cents each.

 too much in praise of this rose. From its many good qualities it

New Hybrid Tea Rose, Duchess of Albany. — It is said by 

 those who have grown it, that this new rose for all purposes has 

 no peer. It is identical with La France excepting in three points. 

 These are : a more vigorous growth, a larger and more expanded 

 flower, and a deep even pink in color; not shaded, but what ift 

 termed a solid color. The growth of the plant is exceedingly 

 vigorous, and the flowers, which are thrown up well above the 

 foliage, are produced in extraordinary profusion, the plant being 

 covered with handsome flowers. Price 30 cents. 



New Tea Rose, Sappho. — Buds fawn color suffused with rose, 

 the opening flowers shaded yellow and tawny buff, centers deep, 

 brigh yellow : large, full "and globular. It produces blooms 

 with extraordinary profusion, even for a Tea Eose. The petals 

 are large and of much substance. A splendid Eose to keep after 

 being cut. This we commend as being one of the prettiest and 

 sweetest Eoses ever brought before the public. Certainly grand, 

 ilas our highest praise Price, 35 cents each. 



Grace Darling.— One of the most elegant Eoses ever our pleasure 

 to behold. Strong, vigorous grower; color a porcelian rose, 

 elegantly shaded with vinous crimson, a decided color, but never 

 quite obscuring the ground of beautiful yellow upon which it 

 rests. The colors seem to stand out separate and distinct. Very 

 sweet. A veritable beauty. Price 30 cents.
