 all allied botanically to the microphylla Roses. They 

 form sturdy, disease-resisting bushes, almost evergreen in 

 the coldest climate. Fine for hedges. Hardy everywhere. 

 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 



NEW CENTURY — A grand Rose that is entirely hardy, 

 bearing beautiful silvery -pink flowers in clusters. This 

 Rose is in bloom all the time. Extra fine, for nursery- 

 men. 

 SIE THOMAS LIPTON — The best pure white Rugosa Rose. 

 Strong and vigorous; grows four feet high. Flo-wers per- 

 fectly double, pure snow-white. Fragrant; borne on 

 long stems continuously throughout the season. Abso- 

 lutely hardy everywhere. Splendid for hedging, ceme- 

 tery and park work. 



Pernetiana Roses or 

 Austrian Briar 



A new family of Roses; native of the south of Europe. 

 The varieties we offer are new, and were introduced by 

 the great French rosarian, Fernet Ducher, and Wm. Paul 

 & Son, of England. They resist the coldest weather and 

 produce flowers in the greatest abundance, with strange 

 colors not to be found in any other section of Roses. 

 ARTHUR R, GOODWIN — This is a genuine "Pernetiana," 

 and is perfectly hardy everywhere. The color is cop- 

 pery orange-red, passing to salmon-pink as the flowers 

 expand. A superb combination of color; flowers medium 

 to large and full. Should prove a most valuable Rose. 

 As this variety grows from cuttings, we offer it on its 

 own roots. 25 cents; two-year plants, 60 cents. 

 MADAME EDWARD HERRIOTT— ' The Daily Mail Rose."

 the .-National Jiose- Society of England, 'where it was

 to be the progeny of an unnamed seedling of Caroline 

 Testout, and an unnamed variety of the Pernetiana class. 

 The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, of spreading, 

 branching habit, with numerous long thorns and bronzy 

 green foliage. M. Pernet Ducher describes its color as 

 follows: "Buds coral-red, shaded with yellow at the 

 base, the open flowers of medium size, semi-double, are 

 of a superb coral-red, shaded with yellow and bright 

 rosy-scarlet passing to a shrimp-red." One of our 

 American correspondents, a friend of the introducer, 

 who had the pleasure of testing it in this country, says:

Miscellaneous Roses 



AMOENA (The Pink Flowering: Cherokee Rose) — This 

 wonderfully beautiful Laevigata or Cherokee Rose was 

 raised in California, and it will sweep the state like wild- 

 fire when it is once known. The flowers are the same as 

 the white flowering Cherokee, except that the color is a 

 glowing pink with golden-yellow center. Resembles 

 huge apple blossoms. Stock scarce. We have a fine 

 lot. 15 cents; two-year-old, 50 cents.

 kee) — A beautiful hardy Rose, bearing double white 

 flowers; very fine. The foliage of this Rose is very dis- 

 tinct. 10 cents each; two-year-old plants, 50 cents. 



LAEVIGATA (The Single White Cherokee Rose) — This is 

 the famous Cherokee Rose so well known in California. 

 Large, pure white flowers with center filled with golden- 

 yellow anthers. 10 cents; two-year-old plants, 50 cents. 



WHITE BANKSIA, or Lady Banks — A vigorous grower, 

 in California growing to the top of tall trees and com- 



pletely enveloping the entire tree; small double pure 

 white flowers in clusters, with the true violet fragrance. 

 Indeed, if one were blindfolded, they could not detect 

 the odor from Violets. Very desirable. 15 cents; two- 

 year plants, 50 cents. 



WICHURAIANA, or MEMORIAL ROSE (Dr. Wichura, of 

 Japan, 1886) — It is difficult to conceive anything more 

 appropriate, beautiful and enduring for covering graves 

 and plots in cemeteries than the Hardy Memorial Rose. 

 It creeps along the ground as closely as an Ivy. The 

 flowers are produced in lavish profusion in July. They 

 are single, pure white, with a golden-yellow disc, five 

 to six inches in circumference. It is also immensely val- 

 uable as a climbing Rose, for covering arches, fences, 

 etc. 10 cents each ; two-year-old plants, 40 cents.

 Banksia, except color of bloom is sulphur-yellow. Has 

 the same delicious Violet fragrance. 15 cents; two'year 

 plants 50 cents. 



Moss Roses 



These are probably a sport of the Cabbage Rose. The Origin of the double Moss Rose is left to conjecture. They 

 have always been favorites, for what can be more elegant than the bud of the Moss Rose and more delicious than its 

 fragrance. Perfectly hardy. 25 cents each; the four for 89 cents; two-year plants, 50 cents each, the four for $1.50.

 large deep pink buds well mossed. A beauty.
