BAKONESS KOTHSCHILD. 



Hybrid Perpetuals. 



Out of the almost endless list of Hybrid Koses in culti- 

 vation we have selected from year to year those we find the 

 best quality, general desirability to our climate being taken 

 into consideration. From our stock we have picked out what 

 we consider the best ten and offer them with the full assur- 

 ance that they cannot fail to give satisfaction. The plants are 

 large and strong and very healthy. 



Baroness de Rothschild— Light rose. 



Coquet des Alps — Pure white, 

 Charles Lefebvre — Bright crimson, 

 center purplish. 



Dins more — 

 Eich crimson 

 scarlet. 

 Gen. Jacque- 

 minot-Bril- 

 liant velvety 

 red, vigorous 

 habit and 

 free bloomer. 

 John Hop- 

 per — Bril- 

 liant rose. 

 Magna Char- 

 ta — B right 

 pink, suffus-

 t ier — Pure 

 white; a very 

 free bloom- 

 er.; a general 

 favorite. 

 Prince Ca- 

 millede Ro- 

 han— Fine 

 dark velvety 

 crimson. 



ROSES-Continued. 



Polyantha Roses. 



Clothilde Soupert— A most valuable introduction. For garden 

 culture it stands unequaled. As a pot plant for house culture it cannot 

 be too highly recommended. Habit of plant is robust and bushy, and 

 it produces its flowers in such profusion as to fairly hide the foliage. 

 The flowers are borne in sprays, and are very double and perfect in 

 form and are capable of withstanding the most trying weather of our 

 hottest summers. The color is a pearl white, delicately shaded towards 

 the center of the flower with rosy pink. 



Gloire des Polyanthas — Bright rose, white center; full, well-formed 

 Little Pet — White, small and double free bloomer; very pretty. 

 Each, 10 cts.; $1.00 per dozen. 



Hardy Climbing Roses. 



Valuable for training up trellises, fences and piazzas; when once 

 established no climber gives greater satisfaction. Very little care need 

 be given them for winter months. 



Baltimore Belle- Pale blush, very double. 



Sueen of the Prairies— Bright rosy red, shading to soft pink; a 

 variety ; very free. 

 Seven Sisters—Flowers in large clusters. Varying in color from 

 white to crimson. Strong 2-year-old plants, 25c each; $2.50 per doz. 



Moss Roses. 



This class of Eoses is even 

 more hardy than the Hybrid Per- 

 petuals, but should be treated 

 about the same. 



Perpetual White— The finest 

 white. 

 Salet— Bright rose, blush edges, 

 large and full. 



Large and strong 

 plants. Each, 25 cts.; 

 per doz., $2.50. 



MAGNA CHAKTA. 



Paul Neyron — Deep rose; large flowers. 

 Perle des Blanches — Pure white, medium size, full. 

 Sir Garnet Wolseley — Bright red, shaded carmine. 

 Large, strong plants. Each, 25 cts.; per doz., $2.50. 



Blue Moon 

 Flower. 



(Ipomoea Learii.) 



Lovers of plants were 

 very much interested 

 in the Moon Flower^ 

 when it was first intro- 

 duced, and many thou- moss rose. 

 sands of this singular plant were sold the first season it was put 

 in the market. Now we have a new one equally interesting 

 because it is possessed of a flower which is a beautiful blue in 

 color. When grown alongside of the white one the contrast 

 produces a most charming effect. Trained on a trellis if grown 



in a pot, or up a pillar, or on 

 the back wall of the green- 

 house, it is a most attractive 

 object. Price, 15 cts. each; 

 $1.50 per doz. 



Turkey's Beard. 



(Xerophyllum Asphodeloides.) 



Nothing attracts so much 

 attention and excites so much 

 wonder as this queer but 

 beautiful plant. It is perfect- 

 ly hardy, and an evergreen, 

 its leaves being long, grass- 

 like, graceful. From 

 a dense tuft of these 

 rise the slender flow- 

 er stems to a height 

 of about 3 feet, bear- 

 ing a close raceme of 

 creamy -white blois- 

 soms. A single plant 

 has had 10 stems in 

 a season; never fails 

 to blossom; it should 

 be in every garcieii.
