EVER BLOOMING ROSE. 



SOWEJ4IR. DIJ PRESIDENT CAR.NOX. 



B HYBRID Tea Rose of the greatest promise. It is unquestion- 

 ably the finest Rose of its color introduced in a decade. 

 Whether considered from the standpoint of the coramercial 

 cut-flower grower or from its fitness for garden work, this Rose 

 is without a superior, and it is doubtful if it has an equal. The 

 growth is vigorous, the foliage dark green and very handsome, 

 but the glory of the variety is in its flower. It is 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 bud is as long 

 as Niphetos, but not quite so pointed, and is very much fuller at 

 the base. It has taken front rank already in the metropolis. 

 Price, strong plants from 3 inch pots $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 

 per 100. 



MRS. PIERPO?(T DIORGAN. 



A sport from Madame Cusin, and is in every way very much 

 superior to that variety, being a much more robust grower; the 

 flowers are very much larger and very double. The color is 

 intensely bright cerise, or rose pink, with porcelain rose shadings. 

 It is a grand Rose for winter forcing, and of equal if not greater 

 value for summer gardens, as its tine double flowers are emi- 

 nently adapted to our hot, dry summers, and its vigorous habit 

 and free flowering qualities easily entitle it to the front rank for 

 summer blooming. Price, 3 inch pots, $8.00 per 100 ; 2 inch pots, 

 $6.00 per 100. 



MADAinE ABEI. CHAXENAY. (Hybrid Tea.) 

 Flowers large and full, petals recurved and of a beautiful 

 creamy rose shaded with rose vermilion and tinged with salmon ; 

 the base of the petals is very highly colored, being a combinatiou 

 of the foregoing shades strongly accentuated. This will un- 

 doubtedly make a fine garden Rose because of its substance and 

 hardiness. The flowers are borne on long stems, so that it is 

 exceedingly well adapted for vases of cut flowers. Price, 3 inch 

 pots, $8.00 per 100 ; 2 inch pots, $6.00 per 100. 



An Ever blooming Hardy Yellow Rose. 



MADE^IOISEI^UE GERMAIISE XROCHOJ*. 



Among the many new Roses imported by us of lale years there 

 are none, in our opinion, which are liable to have a wider popu- 

 larity than this. It is an entirely new color in the Hybrid Tea 

 class, and it has proven hardy in our climate. The best descrip- 

 tion 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 inter- 

 slices 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, 

 3 inch pots, $8.00 per 100 ; 2 inch pots, $6.00 per 100. 



Vthe yei.i,ow ci,othii,de soupert. 



nOSELLA. 



A new Rose of exceptional merit, a fitting companion to tliat 

 fine bedding variety, Clothilde Soupert (included in our Lake- 

 wood Collection on page 120), and the Pink Soupert (set cut, page 

 ii8). Mosella is a beautiful light yellow, shading to a light butf 

 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 

 niore graceful. It blooms in clusters, full, double flowers of 

 large size, and flowers most abundantly. With these valuable 

 traits it cannot fail to become very popular. {See cut). Price, 

 3 inch pots, $8.00 per 100 ; 8 inch pots. $6.00 per luO.
