 very fragrant. Price, plants from 3-inch pots, $8.00 per 100. 



Madame Hoste. This is a creamy white shade with a clear amber 

 center, a handsome Rose, and is never out of bloom. Whether wanted 

 for summer or winter flowers this excellent variety cannot be surpassed.

 dark, indeed, that under certain conditions it is blackish crimson. For 

 winter flowers it is rapidly becoming the most valuable variety on the 

 market. Plants from 3-inch pots, $8.00 per 100. 



Niphetos. The White Rose par excellence — large pointed buds — very 

 free-flowering. Particularly valuable for winter forcing and summer 

 blooming. 



Papa Gontier. This is one of the most fashionable of our winter- 

 flowering Roses, but is equally useful for summer bedding. Color, a 

 glowing carmine crimson. 



Perle des Jardins. No Rose of its color is more valuable than this. 

 Tens of thousands of it are grown in the vicinity of New York for winter 

 flowering ; it is equally valuable for summer, as it flowers continuously. 

 Its color is a rich shade of yellow ; large size and perfect form, Tea 

 fragrance, a healthy, free grower, and unequaled in profusion of bloom. 



Souvenir de Wootton. This superb Rose is unquestionably one of 

 the finest varieties ever introduced for either summer or winter blooming. 

 The color is a beautiful shade of crimson, deliciously fragrant, a constant 

 and most prolific bloomer, every new shoot forming a flower-bud. 

 Plants from 3-inch pots, $8.00 per 100. 



Sunset. This exquisite orange-yellow variety is one of the finest 

 Tea Roses grown. The flowers are large and double. The exquisite 

 shades of coloring found in this variety can only be compared to the 

 gorgeous colors of a summer sunset ; hence the name. It is deliciously 

 fragrant, a strong-growing and free-flowering variety. 



The Bride. "The Bride" is a pure white Rose of large size and 

 most perfect form. This variety has the most delicious Tea fragrance, 

 and is a strong-growing, free-blooming Rose either for summer or 

 winter flowering. 



NOTE.— All the Roses on this page (except where noted), strong 

 plants, from 3-inch pots, at $6.00 per 100.
