or conservatory, and can also be used as climbers. The white variety will eventually take 
rank with the Crimson Rambler (see page 128) and form a splendid contrast to it. 
South Orange Perfection, mo. 1 in cut.) 
Double Pink “Memorial Rose.”’ 
(fo. 3 fn cut.) 
(Universal Favorite.) 
Double flowers, soft blush changing to white, about one and 
one-half inches in diameter. Perfect rosettes in shape. This is a 
very pretty variety and entirely distinct from the others. 
The Double White “Memorial Rose.’’ (mo. 2 in cut.) 
(@Manda’s Triumph.) 
This is the gem of the collection, and may well be called the 
Double ‘‘ Memorial Rose,” as it preserves the color of the parent, 
with its characteristics of growth and foliage, but the flowers are 
double and very fragrant. They are produced in clusters of from 
twelve to eighteen flowers on each cluster on small side shoots, 
A fitting companion to the double white ‘‘Memorial Rose”’; 
identical in growth, double flowers one and one-half to two inches 
in diameter, of a soft, light pink, and very fragrant. 
Pink Roamer. 
This variety shows undoubted traces of descent from the Sweet 
Brier, both in the color and the shape of the blossom and in its, 
exquisite fragrance. The flowers, single, are over two inches in 
diameter, a bright rich pink, with a large, silvery-white centre and

orange red stamens, producing a most charming effect.

¢ New Evergreen Hubrid Wichuraiana (or ~ Memorial”) Roses for 1898. 
We have pleasure in offering the following new Roses in this section, a great advance, inasmuch as they bring new colors and forms 
and are entirely distinct from those already introduced. They are equally hardy and vigorous in growth, equally free in blooming. 
GARDENIA. (Wichuraiana X Perle des 
Jardins.) Strong grower with large, green 
foliage, flowers produced singly on stems 
one-half to one foot long. Flowers in bud, 
bright yellow, and hardly distinguishable 
from Perle des Jardins in form; when open, 
cream color, and three to three and one-half 
inches in diameter, incurving toward evening 
to perfect imitation of a Gardenia(Cape Jessa- 
mine) as to shape and color—hence its name. 
Flowers are delightfully fragrant and pro- 
duced freely. A grand Rose for any purpose. 
Price, young plants, $1.00 each, $10.00 per 
doz.; one-year plants, $2.50 each; two-year
