4 MRS. THEODOSIA B. SHEPHERD. 



New Tea Ro.se, The Snowflake, or Marie Lambert. — This is 

 a lovely white Eose, a pure Tea, but a foreign seedling, the 

 freest flowing white Eose we have seen. It will be especially 

 useful in set designs. For a pot plant it cannot be excelled, as 

 it possesses every good quality of a pot lose. We counted on 

 one plant one hundred and forty-three buds and flowers in a 

 single day, and the plant was only nine months old. ' It can be 

 used in place of white Carnat ons for set pieces at an immense 

 saving, because it can be bloomed profitably at one dollar per 

 one hundred buds, Not only will it cover twice and three times 

 the space, in funeral design for instance, that a Carnation covers, 

 but it will give greatly superior results. Try it. Price 30 cents. 



Paul Neyron.— Deep, shining rose, very fresh and pretty, flowers 

 large ; often measruing live inches in diameter, and it has this 

 merit : though very large, the buds always develope" fine, per- 

 fect Eoses. It is, moreover, a good strong grower, with nice, 

 almost thornless stems. Price 30 cents to SI. 00.

 sweet. Esteemed one of the finest. Price 35 cents.

 oring, being a delicate, but bright pink, shaded with rosy sal- 

 mon. The largest Eose ever produced. Its immense size, per- 

 fect symetry and exquisite coloring combine to make it the Eose 

 of Eoses. Price, 35 cents.

 br ght, deep, satiny red. with a lighter center. Price, 30 cents. 



Hybrid Tea Rose, Viscountess Folkestone. — A grand acquisi- 

 tion ; one of the very largest and most durable of roses, unsur- 

 passed in freedom of bloom, and remarkable for its tine keeping 

 qualities. It remains a long time in bud, and after being ex- 

 panded the buds have been frequently kept a week in good con- 

 dition before dropping. The foliage is rank and dark, the canes 

 heavy, carrying buds finely erect ; the flower is delicately tinted, 

 almost white, showing a faint creamy pink on the reverse of the 

 petals. When partly open it is slightiy cupped: the inner petals 

 are apparently quilled. When fully expanded it is an immense 

 half sphere of the softest satiny texture ; a perfect rose. Price 

 30 cents.

 its quaintly pretty name. It is a very double variety, with petals 

 beautifully curved : very tree flowering. The outer petals are a 

 soft but distinct canary color, the center a rich, rosy salmon or 

 apricot: the shading from the outside to the center is very 

 beautiful It is of a cup shape, showing the glowing center 

 from the first opening of the laid. The foliage i-, line, but luxu- 

 riant and healthy. Thehai.it issomewhat like Niphetos. Buds 

 of fine form and excellent shape. Price, 25 cents.

 rose like a tulip, lovely color and shape. This rose delights ev-
