26 MRS. THEODOSIA B. SHEPHERDS ANNUAL CATALOGUE. 



YELLOW RA3UBLER "AGXiAIA." This rose is said to be even more beautiful 

 than the Crimson Rambler; it is a lovely bright yellow, blooms in the sameman- 

 ner as the above named, having as many as 120 to 150 flowers in a bunch : the 

 flowers are very fragrant and last three weeks without fading. Small plants 

 60 cts. each. 



THE DAWSON ROSE. A very pretty pink rambler of rapid growth : bears per- 

 fect wreaths of flowers in clusters, semi-double, color a deep pink on the outer 

 half of petals, centre of the flower white, with bright yellow stamens; flowers 

 are followed by bright red berries. A very lovely rose. Plants 15 cts., 25 cts. 

 and 50 cts. each. 

 I can heartily recommend all the Rambler Roses. Although they bloom but two 



or three months in the year they are so perfectly lovely that they should be in every 



collection. 



Beautiful |4eW looses. 



ROGER LA3IBELIN. One of the most remarkable roses yet offered. The petals 

 are irregular on the edges like a double petunia ; the color is glowing crimson 

 throughout, except the edges of the petals, which are all distinctly marked with 

 a white band, forming a sharp contrast and the most unique combination of 

 colors known in roses, The growth is free and vigorous and the fragrance is 

 delightful, equal to the finest of the hardy roses. This is a "novelty ;! of the most 

 striking order. 50 cts. and $1 each. 



MOSELLA, The Yellow Clothilde Soupert. Mosella is a beautiful, light yellow, 

 shading to a light buff in the centre and creamy white toward the ends of the 

 petals. Like the Soupert, it is dwarf and bushy in habit, but is even more grace- 

 ful. It blooms in clusters, full, double flowers" of large size, and flowers most 

 abundantly. 35 cts. each. 



PINK SOUPERT. Pink Soupert inherits all the grandgardenqualitiesofitsparent, 

 Clothilde Soupert, and is a clear pink throughout, bright and attractive: the 

 coloring deepens in some flowers to cherry -red. and in others it lessens to light 

 clear pink. The profusion of bloom is wonderful, the whole plant being a mass 

 of flowers. No rose can possibly excel this for outdoor bedding, and none can be 

 more attractive. 15 cts. to 25 cts. each. 



INCONSTANT BEAUTY. A wonderful new rose, deriving its name of ;< Inconstant 

 Beauty '' from its quality of producing flowers of different shades on the same 

 plant. The colors vary from crimson to light pink, through shades of tawny red, 

 light yellow with orange and citron-red centre, pale flesh with pink centre, 

 orange-chrome and deep rose, all these colors being frequently seen on one bush 

 at the same time. The beauty of color effects is indescribable. Plant strong 

 and vigorous, flowers full and double. It is a true tea rose, consequently ever- 

 blooming and deliciously fragrant. 25 cts. each. 



ATAMAN COCHET. The growth is free and vigorous, very free-blooming;, flowers 

 of splendid substance and a delightful shade of deep pink. The buds are long and 

 pointed, full and firm, lasting a long time when cut. As the flowers expand, the 

 centre of the rose discloses depths of salmon-pink, with light orange tints, while 

 the older petals lessen to pearl-pink, giving a combination of tints and tones 

 unequaled in their beauty. 25 cts. each. 



CORINNA. The tints of color blended in the flowers of this beautiful rose render 

 it so attractive and distinct from all other tea roses that the blooms exhibited 

 have created quite a sensation. They are flesh color, shaded with rose and 

 suffused with tawny copper ; large size, full and of excellent shape, very freely 

 produced on strong" stems. 25 cts. each. 



CHEROKEE ROSE. The true single cherok'ee rose is one of the most aesthetic 

 flowers in existence. Its beautiful glossy green foliage, and immense snowy white 

 flowers, make it wonderfully attractive." Another A-ariety resembling it but not 

 nearly ho handsome, is often sold as the Cherokee. I offer the genuine variety. 

 1 5 cts. and 25 cts. each.
