PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE PLANT LIST. 





The Hardy 



Memorial Rose

 with golden yellow discs.

and will grow 



Hardy flemorial Rose, and they fairly cover the entire plant when in bloom, 

 a mass of great snovvfiakes with the rich, dark green showing here and there. 



But its use is not Confined to Cemeteries. — Planted in the Rose garden, 

 alone or among other JRoses, and trained upright to a stake, it may be had from 

 three to six feet high, as desired, and it will send sprays of flowers drooping down- 

 ward, making the prettiest sight imaginable. It has been largely used throughout 

 the famous park system of Boston for covering rocky slopes, embankments and 

 such places as it was desirable to cover quickly with verdure. It quickly adapts 

 itself to all conditions of growth, whether barren soil, rocky ledge, fertile garden, 

 shady nook or sun-kissed slope, and no more fitting place can be found for it than 

 running through the grass. 



NOTE THE REDUCED PRICES FOR THIS SEASON. 



Extra large plants, from open ground, $2.00 per doz. ; plants from 2 inch pots, 

 f6.00 per 100; plants from 5 inch pots, $3.00 per doz. 



As a guide to buyers we would say that two of the extra large plants or three of 

 the smaller size will cover a grave. Twelve plants of either size will cover an ordinary 

 plot, but the large plants will doit more rapidly and give more flowers the firstyear. 



FOR USE IN CEFIETERIES It is dififlcult to conceive anything more appropriate, 

 beautiful and enduring for covering graves and plots in cemeteries than the Hardy 

 riemorial Rose. It creeps along the ground almost as closely as an Ivy, growing ten 

 feet in one season and forming a dense mat of very dark green, lustrous foliage. 



THE FLOWERS are produced in lavish profusion, in clusters, on the ends of the 

 sliort side branches, after the June Roses are past, from the first week in July throughout 

 the month, and sparingly for the rest of the season. They are single, pure white, with a 

 golden yellow disc, five to six inches in circumference, and have the strong fragrance 

 of the Banksia Roses. The contrast between the satiny white of the petals and the golden 

 yellow disc is sharp and pleasing, and is one of the distinctive charms of the beautiful 



I A NEW FEATURE. I 



In addition to wliat we say of this fine Rose, we call ( 

 I particular attention hereto its Climbing Habit. We J 

 1 only made a passing allusion to this feature last year, i 

 I but emphasize it now in the above illustration. Mr.' 

 I Wm. Falconercalled particular attention to this feature « 



"Gardening," and our illustration is designed from ' 

 1 the photograph of a plant he had growing. Trained , 

 I over a fJateway it forms a perpect Bower, or it J 

 1 can be trained to a fence or house with equal success. 



We sold nearly fifty thousand of the Memorial ' 

 'Rose last year, and have received numerous letters 4 

 I of commendation testifying to its usefulness and unique < 

 I beauty. Park and Cemetery Superintendents ( 

 \ throughout the country have bought it largely, and are > 

 I intensely enthusiastic over it, the strongest recommen- , 

 ! dation it could possibly have.
