ROSA RUGOSA ( WHITE). 



A Japanese species, first sent to this country in 1855, is one 

 of the handsomest hardy shrubs in cultivation. It forms a sturdy 

 bush 4 to 5 feet high, covered with large, dark green, pinnate, 

 glossy foliage, and producing terminal clusters of ten to twenty 

 flowers, three inches in diameter, and very fragrant. It contin- 

 ues to flower the whole summer, making a very attractive object. 

 If it never produced a flower it would still be entitled to a prom- 

 inent place on the lawn for the beauty of its foliage, which 

 scarcely resembles that of the Rose, but is very heavy, rich and 

 shining, remaining on until late in autumn. Its large handsome 

 scarlet fruit is most showy during the autumn months. 50c. 



TEAS. 



Ye Primrose Dame. An exquisite new Tea Rose, as beautiful 

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

 petals beautifully curved; very free 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. 20c 



Mad. de Watteville. Salmon blush, each petal bordered light
