THREE are new, hardy, ever-blooming garden Roses, the FOURTH our famous « Jubilee.’’ 
Unquestionably the stellar novelties in the Rose world at the present time. 
NEW HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, MRS. ROBERT GARRETT. 
really fine variety. The pleasure is enhanced because it is a variety of American origin, raised under the climatic conditions in 
which it must have its being; therefore it is a certainty that it will, beyond question, prove to be adapted to our climate, not like 
le introducing this grand new Rose to American Rose lovers, we wish to say that it affords us pleasure to be the first to offer such a 
many of the much-lauded imported novelties, which too often fail to reach the glowing descriptions of the foreign grower. 
The 
Mrs. Robert Garrett was raised by Mr. John Cook, the veteran raiser of fine Roses, including Souvenir de Wootton and several others, 
and is a cross between Sombreuil and Mad. Caroline Testout. 
With two such parents this fine result might be anticipated. 
The following description was written by our artist, after studying it for the Colored Plate: 
“Tt is a difficult matter to describe the coloring of a Rose; much of the coloring is due to its form and its semi-transparency, and 
is generated as it were in the Rose itself. 
Garrett, which is of remarkable depth, even in the fully opened flower. 
Speaking broadly, the general color effect of this Rose may be described as being a glowing shell- 
ordinary amount of coloring matter. 
A shallow Rose cannot have the beautiful color effects seen in a Rose like Mrs. Robert 
Its petals are of great substance, containing more than the 
like pink. It is marvelously beautiful, whether considered as a single specimen or in a bunch, but to be thoroughly appreciated should 
be seen in the diffused light of outdoors, with all its manifold charms accentuated and reinforced by its own background of living green.” 
PRICE: Ist size, strong 2-year-old plants, $1.25 each, $12.00 per doz.; 2d size, $1.00 each, $9.00 per doz.; 3d size, GOc. each, $6.00 per doz. 
New Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose, 
SOUVENIR DU PRESIDENT CARNOT. 
HYBRID Tea Rose of the greatest promise. Itis unquestion- 
ably the finest Rose of its color introduced in a decade. 
Whether considered from the standpoint of the commercial 
eut-flower grower or from its fitness for garden work, this Rose is 
without a superior, and itis doubtfulifit hasan equal. The growth 
is vigorous, the foliage dark green and very handsome, but the glory 
of the variety is inits flower. Itis very large, both in the bud and in 
the expanded flower, double to the centre and opens beautifully. 
The coloring is nearer like Devoniensis than any Rose on the market 
at the present time, but it is lighter and approaches nearer to a 
white. Technically described, it could be called a rosy flesh, very 
soft in the centre, and shaded with a lighter flesh at the end of the 
petals. The budis as long as Niphetos, but not quite so pointed, 
andis very much fuller atthe base. It has taken front rank already 
in the metropolis. Price, 1st size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d 
size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 3d size, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. 
New White Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose, 
WHITE MAMAN COCHET. 
HAT has been so long desired, viz: a pure white, hardy, 
WV ever-blooming Rose, has been at length obtained in this 
grand variety. It has all the requisites of a perfect garden 
Rose—substance, size, fragrance, hardiness, vigor and profusion 
of bloom—rivaling the best of the monthly ever-blooming Roses in 
the latter all-important quality. It is a ‘‘sport’’ from the well- 
known and much-valued Rose, ‘‘Maman Cochet,’’ inheriting 
all its fine qualities, full and firm buds, long and pointed, the ideal 
shape fora Rose, and keeping a long time when cut. We cannot 
speak too highly of it, and the fact that we include it in our 
“Select Quartet” is sufficient to indicate our high opinion of it. 
Wherever fine Roses are grown or a hardy white ever-blooming 
Rose is wanted the White Maman Cochet should be planted. 
Price, Ist size, $1.00 each, $9.00 per doz.; 2d size, 75°. each, $7.50 
per doz.; 3d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 
Our New GOLD MEDAL Rose, 
a—JUBILEE. 
This grand new Rose was sold at retail only last year; therefore, we still practi- 
cally control the stock. As a protection to our customers, therefore, we will attach 
our lead seal to every plant, and whether it is obtained from us direct, or from a 
local florist. this seal must be attached to the plant to insure its genuineness.

green foliage, one of its distinguishing features; short-jointed, long flower stems, and branches freely, blooms most abundantly, 
three flowers and over on each shoot, the ideal habit for a hardy garden Rose. 
The flowers are very large, reaching six inches 
[ is a true Hybrid Remontant Rose, perfectly hardy, blooming in the fall as well as in the early summer, very vigorous, large, dark 
across under good culture; outer petals partially reflexed and recurved, the centre petals upright and very gracefully disposed, 
giving grace and finish without showing the centre; they last a long time when cut. 
The fragrance is strong, delightfully rich and very lasting.

Its Wealth of Color.—A pure red in its deepest tone, shading to deep crimson red and velvety maroon red in the depths of the 
etals. ‘‘The coloring is alive,’ as one expressed it.

rich velvety finish to the petals is all its own, and is not even approached by any other Rose yet introduced. 
“It fairly glows in its rich warmth of coloring,’ another said. The 
It is admirable, 
unique, and, as Mr. F. Schuyler Matthews, the celebrated artist, said, ‘‘This Rose contains the darkest color, combined with 
pure color, of which nature is capable.” 
It required centuries and the skill of the world’s hybridizers to produce this peerless 
Rose, perfect in all its attributes, peerless in its magnificent color, and it is fair to assume that it will again require the centuries 
to produce its equal—if it ever is produced—for nature is not prolific in repetitions.

$7.50 per doz.; extra large 2-year-old plants, $1.25 each, $12.00 per doz.
