General Jacqueminot. — A rich, velvety-crimson, changing to 

 scarlet-crimson. A magnificent Rose, equally beautiful in 

 the bud state or open. This is the best known of all Hybrid 

 Perpetuals, and is without a rival in fragrance and richness 

 of color. It is, moreover, as easy of cultivation as many of 

 the more common varieties and perfectly hardy. 



Her Majesty. — Her Majesty originated in England, and was 

 named in honor of the Queen. It is the largest and most 

 beautiful Hybrid Perpetual Rose ever grown. Blooms are 

 of immense size, remarkably beautiful form and perfectly 

 double. Color a lovely shade of rosy-pink, passing to clear 

 flesh, elegantly tinged and shaded with amaranth and silver- 

 rose. Delightfully fragrant. Its immense size, perfect sym- 

 metry and exquisite coloring combine to make it the Rose of 

 Roses. The plant is a strong, upright grower, and entirely 

 hardy. 



Gustave i'iganeau. — Flowers extra large, equaling Paul Neyron 

 in size, double, and of cup form. Color a beautiful shade of 

 bright red and brilliant carmine. Received four medals, and 

 was illustrated in Journal des Roses. This is the finest Hy- 

 brid of recent introduction. The bud is very large and full. 

 We believe this is the very best crimson Hybrid Rose grown. 



Marchioness of Lome. — This fine ne w English Hybrid Perpetual 

 was introduced by Messrs. William Paul & Son, of London, 

 who say: "This beautiful Rose, dedicated by special per- 

 mission to her Royal Highness, the Princess Louise, March- 

 ioness of Lome, produces flowers of an exceedingly rich, 

 fulgent rose color, slightly shaded in the center with vivid 

 carmine. They are large and very sweet, full, and finely 

 cup-shaped. Petals large and buds long and handsome. It 

 is especially remarkable for its truly perpetual habit, every 

 shoot baing crowned with a flower bud." 



Marshal P. Wilder. — This fine new Rose originated in this coun- 

 try, and was named in honor of the venerated President of 

 the Pomological Society. It is a Rose of unusual excellence. 

 Flowers are large, semi-globular, full, and of good substance. 

 Color a bright, scarlety-crimson, richly shaded with maroon. 

 Very fragrant and a free bloomer. 



Glloire de Margottin.— This grand new Hybrid Perpetual Rose 

 originated in Europe, and is believed to be one of the very 

 finest varieties of recent years. The flowers are very large 

 and of symmetrical form, somewhat globular, very full and 

 deliciously scented. The color is a clear, dazzling red. Cer- 

 tainly one of the most brilliant Roses ever seen. It is a free 

 bloomer and vigorous grower, and is recommended for great 

 beauty and wonderful color. 



White Paeony. — This Rose was sent us by one of our customers. 

 She did not know the name for it, but called it the White 

 Paeony, from its resemblance to that beautiful flower. We 

 have never seen anything in the Rose line like it. The 

 flowers are satiny-white, with a delicate shell-pink tinge. It 

 makes large, spherical balls, and when seen in bloom is not 

 soon forgotten. Very beautiful and entirely hardy. 



Gloire de Lyonaise. — This grand Rose is the onlv yellow Hybrid 

 Perpetual we have. It cannot be called a deep yellow, but 

 rather a pale shade of chamois or salmon-vellow, deepest at 

 center, sometimes passing to a rich, creamy-white, finely 

 tinted orange and fawn. The flowers have all the beauty of 

 Tea Roses, and are large and full, and delightfully sweet. 

 This we consider one of the very best Roses we have ever 

 seen. It will be sure to delight you. 



Oscar II, King of Sweden.— This is by far the richest Rose yet 

 introduced. It is so intense in color that the exclamation on 

 seeing it is, "Oh! that lovely black Rose!" It is very velvety 

 in texture. A most superb Rose, and one that will always 

 be found in the standard list of Roses, as it has come to 

 stay. 



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

 ers large, often measuring five inches in diameter, and it has 

 this merit, though- very large, the buds always develop fine, 

 perfect Roses. It is, moreover, a good, strong grower, with 

 nice, almost thornless stems, which often attain six to seven 

 feet in a single season. We know of no Rose possessing so 

 many good points to recommend itself as Paul Neyron. 

 Grown by thousands in the eastern cities for its good, free- 

 blooming qualities. 



ROSA WHICHURAIANA.- — NEW memorial rose. 



THIS Rose is especially desirable for planting in cemeteries, as i 

 is entirely hardy everywhere, and is a perfect sheet of bloom' 

 All who want a beautiful Rose to place on a grave should plant 

 this Rose. Six plants will completely cover a grave and be in bloom 

 all the time. It does not grow upright, but spreads on the ground 

 like myrtle. It is of a very rapid, prostrate habit of growth, not over 

 eight inches in height, quickly covering the ground with a mass of 

 very deep, glossy-green foliage. In middle June the flowers appear 

 in bunches in profusion, and continue all Summer. Flowers are 

 about two inches across, single, creamy-white, with showy masses 

 of golden-yellow anthers, and intensely fragrant. For use as a cover 

 plant on banks, ledges, or masses of rock this isunsurpassed, quickly 

 producing the effect desired, and this with the showiest of foliage 

 and a mass of bloom at a season when flowers are becoming scarce. 

 Used in quantities for landscape work in parks and cemeteries, and 

 no private place exists on the grounds of which it cannot be used to 

 advantage. Price, 15 cents each; two for 25 cents. Large two-year- 

 old plants, 50 cents each.
