DOUBLE VARIETIES. 



THE FARQUHAR. {Illustrated on Cover Page.) The Farquhar 

 Rose has glossy, bright green fohage which does not drop, but retains 

 its lustre until cut down by severe frost, a feature which makes it most 

 valuable for covering trellises, pillars, Summer houses, fences and rocks. 

 It is perfectly hardy, and bears magnificent clusters of bright pink, 

 double flowers on long stems which are most serviceable for vases and 

 table decorations. Awarded the Silver Gilt Medal of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society; certificated by the Horticultural Society, New York.
