CLOTHILDE SOUPERT, + 
A new Rose of exceptional merit, a fitting companion to that fine 
bedding variety, Clothilde Soupert (included in our Lakewood Col- 
lection on page 131), andthe Pink Soupert (see cut, page 130). Mosella 
is a beautiful light yellow, shading to a light buff in the centre and 
creamy white towards the ends of the petals. Like the ‘‘ Soupert,”’ it 
is dwarf and bushy in habit, but is even more graceful. It blooms in 
clusters, full, double flowers of large size, and flowers most abun- 
M\ dantly. With these valuable traits it cannot fail to become very 
ie, pOpular. (See cut.) Price, Ist size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 
30c. each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz.

Among the many new Roses imported by us of late years there are 
none, in our opinion, which are liable to have a wider popularity than 
this. It is an entirely new color in the Hybrid Tea class, and it has 
proven hardy in our climate. The best description we could give of 
the Rose is that given to the Tea Rose ‘‘Sunset,’’ which we introduced 
some years ago and which created a profound sensation. Technically 
described, it is orange yellow, with shades of buff, fawn and light 
yellow; the interstices between the petals show depths of coloring 
approaching what is very frequently seen in our sunset skies and 
which originally suggested the name for the ‘‘Sunset’”’ Rose. Price,

The continued influx of new 
varieties, the popular demand 
for novelties, has a result occa- \ 
sionally of, for a time at least, WW 
relegating to comparative ob- 
scurity some other meritorious 
sort. This, in a measure, is 
true of Souvenir de Wootton, 
one of the best all-round Roses 
ever raised in this country. A S | 
The introduction this year of = \ WN ‘ GW TAM 
that fine Rose, Mrs. Robert Ly, i) ( \ “i N

\ 
( 
\ 
Garrett, which we show on \ 
the colored plate (see page 141), 
must direct attention to the other fine 
Roses raised by the same grower, and it 
is partly for that reason, but principally 
because of the intrinsic merit of the 
variety, that we give prominence this 
year to Souvenir de Wootton — or 
‘““ Wootton,” as it is popularly called. 
The color is a beautiful shade of 
Carmine crimson, and in the open 
ground in the fall and inspring, before 
extreme warm weather sets in, it is, 
in most cases, a very rich crimson 
without any carmine shades, almost 
the equal of the famous ‘‘ Jack” Rose 
(Gen. Jacqueminot). Like all Roses 
of this color, it is liable to lose it, to 
a great extent, in very warm 
weather, but it retains it better 
than any Rose of itsclass. It 
is deliciously fragrant, per- 
fectly hardy, a constant and 
most prolific bloomer, every 
new shoot forming a flower 
bud, equally valuable for sum- fa 
mer and winter blooming, and @# 
is one of the most satisfac- 
tory Roses for the garden or 
greenhouse. (See cut.) Price, 
1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. ; 
2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. ;
