BLACK ROSES 



I have often been asked by my customers for Black Roses, and 

 I here offer the five nearest black Roses. Thev are all entirely 

 hardy. They all have large, double flowers, and are exceedingly 

 sweet. Price, 15 cents each: or the set of five for 60 cents. In 

 large two-year-old size, 50 cents each; or the Ave for $2.00. 

 Baron de Bonstetten.— Has splendid large flowers, very double 

 and full. The color of this Rose is a rich, dark red, passing 

 to a deep, velvety-maroon. It is highly scented and very 

 beautiful. 

 Prince Oamille de Rohan. — A very dark, rich, velvety-crimson, 

 passing to intense maroon, shaded black. Large, full flowers, 

 looking at a little distance as if thev were really black. One 

 of the darkest Roses, and very handsome. 

 Souvenir de Durliere. — A superb Rose. Extra large, compact 

 flowers, very full, double and sweet. Color a beautiful and 

 brilliant scarlet, deepening to dark, glowing crimson. Very 

 rich and handsome.

 regular form. Color a rich violel -crimson, elegantly tinged 

 and shaded maroon-red, a free bloomer and very sweet. 

 Black Prince.— A superb Hybrid Perpetual Rose, a very dark- 

 blackish red, richly shaded with violet-crimson, extra large, 

 full flowers, delightfully perfumed, good, bushv habit; a 

 hardy and vigorous grower and free bloomer. One of the 

 very best dark Roses. 



THE LADY BANKS, OR 



BANKSIA ROSES. 



These are fine climbing or trailing Roses. Good for the South 

 and Pacific coast, where the Winters are not too severe. They 

 require two or three years' growth to bloom to perfection, and 

 are then very beautiful. As the flowers are produced on the old 

 growth, they should be pruned but very little, merely cutting 

 away what is absolutely necessary. The flowers resemble a 

 double cherry blossom, and are the size of a silver dime. They 

 are produced in large clusters, and have a decided violet per- 

 fume. Indeed, if blindfolded you could not by the odor distin- 

 guish them from violets. 

 White Itanksia, Alba Grandlflora.— A pure untinted white variety. 



Price, 15 cents each. 

 Yellow Banksia, Fortune!. — A very rich golden-yellow variety. 



Price, 15 cents each. 

 The two varieties for 25 cents; large plants, 50 cents each. 



POLYANTHA, OR 



FAIRY ROSES. 



Notice. — I cordially recommend these exquisite Everblooming 

 Fairy Roses. They are of shrubby, compact growth, bloom 

 profusely all through the season, and are very desirable for 

 bedding as well as for edging, borders, etc. They are moder- 

 ately hardy, but should have a covering of leaves or litter just 

 before Winter begins. 

 Price, 8 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 25 cents each. 



Blanche Rebatel. — A beautiful new variety, very handsome 

 flowers, a deep rose color, medium size, very double and 

 fragrant, and borne in large clusters. A constant bloomer. 



Eliza Chatrand. — One ot the most lovely of all Roses, having 

 lovely rose-colored flowers, elegantly penciled and touched 

 with ruddy saffron. Very free bloomer. 



Flora. — The flowers are quite large, very full and round, delight- 

 fully perfumed, and borne in immense clusters. The color is 

 a fine ivory-white, delicately tinged with soft rosy-blush . 



George Pernet. — It is continually in bloom, the flowers being 

 quite large for this class, of a beautiful flat form. The color 

 is a very bright rose, with touches of yellow, and passes to 

 peach-blow, with silvery-white shadings. The prettiest of 

 all Polyanthas. 



Miniature. — This is the smallest of all Roses, but perfect in 

 form, regular, compact, fairy-like flowers, fully double and 

 very fragrant. Flowers in wreaths and clusters almost cov- 

 ering the whole plant. The color is a cream-rose, flushed 

 with a peachy-red. 



Gloire de Polyantha — A beautiful Fairy Rose. Flowers large, 

 perfectly double and deliciously sweet. Color a fine citron- 

 rose, elegantly flushed a pale carmine. 



Mignonette — A lovely Fairy Rose. Full, regular flowers, per- 

 fectly double and deliciously perfumed. Color a clear pink, 

 passing to white, tinged with pale rose. 



Mademoiselle Cecile Brnner. — Larger flowers than any of the 

 others, perfectly double and delightfully fragrant. Color a 

 rosv-pink, on a rich, creamy-white ground. 



Perle d'Or. — Charming and very distinct. Color a coppery-gold, 

 changing to fawn and salmon, flat-rayed form, very double 

 and elegantly perfumed. 



Paquerette.— We consider this variety the best of all the Poly- 

 antha Roses. The flowers are pure white, about one inch in 

 diameter, flowering in clusters of from five to fifty blooms. 

 Very full, prettily formed, recalling blossoms of the double- 

 flowering cherry, and fully equals 'he double white Primrose 

 in profuse blooming during the Winter. This is a variety 

 that every one is pleased with. 



The set of ten Fairy Roses named for 

 60 cents. No discount on this offer. 



Hardy -SSLPrairie Roses. 



These are Climbing Roses that are perfectly hardy every- 

 where, and are consequently of the greatest value. They can be 

 readily trained to the height of from ten to thirty feet, as they 

 grow with great vigor. They bloom the second year, and but 

 once in a season, but are then loaded with splendid Roses, and 

 are among the most beautiful of flowering plants. At least one 

 of these Hardy Climbers should be found in every Rose garden 

 north of Tennessee. The flowers are produced in 1 irge clusters. 

 When it is desired to cover walls, unsightly buildings, etc , with 

 Roses, none will be found to do the work so efficiently as varie- 

 ties of the Prairie Roses. 



Price, 10 cents each: any three for 25 cents. 

 Largo two-year-old plants, 26 cents each. 

 Anna Marie. — Blush, very large clusters, has few thorns. It is 



an excellent variety.

of from twelve to fifteen feet in a season.

entirely hardy, bears elegant, rich, red Roses of the largest 



size in great profusion. This we think the best of the Hardy 



Climbers.

in color from white to crimson.
