TWELVE 
Ever- 
Blooming 
ROSES 
Comprising The “CASHMERE” Collection. 
The ‘‘Cashmere”’ collection of twelve ever-blooming Roses contains, in our 
opinion, the best dozen of ever-blooming and bedding varieties it is possible to 
obtain in that number, all being invaluable for summer and winter blooming. 
Space will not permit us to illustrate all of them, although each is worthy of it. 
Note.—With the exception of Souvenir de Wootton, Hermosa, Maman 
Cochet and Clothilde Soupert, these Roses are not hardy in the North.
