**CHARMING’’ COLLECTION of Roses may feel assured that they are obtaining the best that it is possible to procure in the

the ‘‘Garden Culture of the Rose.’’ 
No. 1. NEW_EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, [VORY. 
This beautiful new Rose is a sport from the variety ‘‘Golden 
Gate,’’ which has attained such popularity the past few years 
as a first-class sort for winter blooming. 
Ivory has the same strong, sturdy habit as the parent, the 
same large fragrant flowers, the same long, heavy flowering 
stems, the fine “buds and elegant form as the parent; but is a 
soft white in color. This Rose is certain to have a prominent 
position in the list of best varieties for either summer or winter 
flowering. Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 
30c. each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
ARDY EVER- 
No. 2. BOOMING Kose; L HE, BURBANK. 
This valuable new rose is a cross between Hermosa and a 
seedling of Bon Silene. It proves hardy everywhere with 
slight protection. Burbank is a Rose wonderfully improved in 
size, brilliancy of color and perfection of form, with Hermosa’s 
valuable habit of blooming all season. Every little plant com- 
mences to bloom as soon as it starts from a cutting. Flowers 
rich shell-pink, deepening to carmine-crimson; full double, 
reflex petals. A compact grower. Foliage always free from 
rust, mildew or any defect. Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per 
doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 
per doz. 
No. 3. NEW EYER SOw Kosz; FRANZ DEEGEN, 
For years we have been anxiously looking for a yellow ever- 
blooming Rose which was perfectly healthy, which would in- 
variably produce perfect flowers under normal conditions of 
growth, which had strong, rigid stems, which had well-shaped, 
double flowers, and, above all, which had good color; these 
indispensable qualities are united in this fine variety. 
It is a seedling from that grand Rose, ‘‘Kaiserin Augusta 
Victoria,’’ inheriting the unusual beauty of form of that splen- 
did garden Rose. A strong, healthy grower, throwing up fine 
shoots very freely, which bear the splendid flowers proudly 
erect. The foliage is dark green and glossy, quite ample and 
of fine substance, making it strongly resistant against mildew, 
black spot and other fungoid diseases. 
The buds are long and pointed, quite full at the base, just 
the ideal form; the open flower is broad and full, rarely 
showing the centre, except in very hot and dry weather. The 
ground color is yellow, very bright and pleasing. As the 
flower ages the outer petals change to canary color, but not 
invariably, as many flowers retain the deep color throughout. 
The expanding flower reveals depths of deep golden-orange, 
brilliant and attractive, similar to the famous ‘‘Sunset’’ Rose 
introduced by us; splendid for winter forcing. Price, 1st size, 
75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 
3d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 
No. 4. HA®? 2, 6ominc Kose; ROSE D’EVIAN. 
One of the handsomest Roses of recent introduction, splendid 
color and substance, fitted for our trying summers, when so 
many Roses fail for lack of these. It is astrong, bushy grower, 
with stout stems and thick, glossy-green leaves. The flowers 
are large and handsome, somewhat cup-shaped, but well filled 
and very sweet. The color is deep rich rosy-red, reverse 
of petals pale amaranth; makes extra long pointed buds, and 
blooms abundantly all through the summer and fall. Price, 
1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per 
doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
They are numbered 1 to 8, and described below.

No. 5. HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, 
.. KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. 
A Hybrid Tea Rose, soft pearly-white, lightly tinted with 
lemon in the centre, just enough to relieve the white; remark- 
ably fragrant, a strong, healthy grower, with bold, beautiful 
foliage. The habit is free; the beautiful, perfectly shaped 
flowers are borne in profusion on long, graceful stems, so that 
it will be invaluable for cut flowers. Professional florists 
have been quick to perceive the great value of this peerless 
variety, and it is now more eagerly sought after than almost 
any Rose on the market. Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per 
doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 
per doz. 
No. 6. Ia ESP aS ROSE, ADMIRAL SCHLEY. 
The Crimson Rose shown on the Colored Plate. It was 
raised by Mr. John Cook of Baltimore and named by him in 
honor of one of Maryland’s favorite sons. This is essentially a 
Rose for the garden, ironclad in its resistance to all diseases, 
particularly mildew, that scourge of outdoor Roses in this 
country. It blooms in the most luxurious abundance, and even 
in the hottest weather the flowers remain double. This variety 
is certain to be a great favorite. A large bed of it planted in 
the Pan-American grounds at Buffalo was a mass of bloom all 
season. Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. 
each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
No. 7. - »- « HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, ... 
SOUVENIR DU PRESIDENT CARNOT. 
Unquestionably the finest Rose of its color introduced in a 
decade. Whether considered from the standpoint of the com- 
mercial 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 Deyoniensis than any Rose on the market at the 
present time, but itis lighter and approaches nearer toa 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 
The bud is as long as Niphetos, but not quite so 
pointed, and is very much fuller at the base. It has taken

each, $1.50 per doz. 
No. 8. H*8rSomine ROSE; GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. 
Unquestionably the finest dark red, hardy, ever-blooming 
garden Rose introduced to date. That it is destined to attain 
wide popularity is assured, for it has all the qualities desired 
in a garden Rose. The color, when first opening, is very dark 
rich crimson, quickly changing to bright scarlet, shading to 
velvety, fiery-red. One of the very brightest colored Roses we 
know. The flowers are large, fuli and sweet, very showy and 
handsome. It blooms constantly and continues covered with 
flowers the whole season. Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per 
doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00
