" Meteor." 



The "Meteor" is a remarkably rich dark velvety crimson rose; so dark 

 indeed that under certain conditions it is blackish crimson. It is a constant 

 and profuse bloomer, very vigorous and healthy in growth, with no tendency 

 to mildew. No dark red rose ever before offered will be as useful for summer 

 cut flowers, as it is so double that it produces perfect blooms in the hottest 

 weather. (See cut.) 1st size, 75c each; S7.50 per dozen.

In "American Beaut} - " we have a rose of the largest size, 

 having the ever-blooming qualities of the Tea Rose, with 

 the delicious odor of the Damask or Moss Rose, conse- 

 quently equally valuable for winter or summer flowering. 

 The flowers of this grand rose are so eagerly sought that 

 they have sold in the New York market for $100 per 100 

 around the holidays for years, still holding this extra- 

 ordinary price. When sold at retail, single buds bring 

 $1.50 to S2 each at Christmas. In color it is a deep 

 brilliant pink, shaded toward the centre with rich carmine.

TEA ROSE, "The Bride." 



Every lover of fine roses should have a plant of this 

 peerless variety, as it fills a place in Ever-Blooming Eoses 

 hitherto wanting. " The Bride" is a pure white rose of 

 large size and most perfect form. The buds are pointed 

 and the ends of the petals are slightly curved back, giving 

 it a most chaste and elegant appearance. This variety 

 has the most delicious tea fragrance, and is a strong 

 growing, free blooming rose either for summer or winter 

 flowering.

"DWARF^EDDING^ROSES. 



(POLYANTHA CLASS.) 



CLASS OF ROSES of much value for bedding purposes, as they form a mass of bloom. They are of dwarf habit, and are continu- 

 ously in flower during the entire season. They bloom in numerous clusters, of from 25 to 100 flowers in each cluster, the single 

 flowers being about \% inches across. The POLYANTHA ROSES are hardy in this latitude with slight protection. They are 

 particularly valuable for planting on the borders of beds of taller growing sorts, or on the edge of foliage beds, as they are con- 

 stantly in bloom, and rarely attain more than 10 or 12 inches 

 in height. They are also largely used for borders in cemetery 

 jplots, their neat and tasteful appearance commanding atten- 

 tion at first sight. (See cut.)
