WINTER-FLOWERING ROSES — Continued. 



Madame Hoste. This is a creamy white shade with 

 a clear amber centre, a handsome Rose, and very free 

 bloomer. 



Meteor. This is a remarkably rich, dark 

 velvety crimson Rose ; so dark, indeed, that 

 under certain conditions it is blackish 

 crimson. 



Niphetos. The White Rose par excellence — 

 large-pointed buds. 



Perle des Jardins. No yellow Rose is more 

 valuable than this for winter flowering ; it 

 is equally valuable for summer. 



Souvenir de Wootton. The color is a beau- 

 tiful shade of crimson, deliciously fragrant, 

 a constant and most prolific bloomer. 



Sunset. This exquisite orange yellow variety 

 is one of the finest Tea Roses grown. The 

 flowers are large and double. It is deli- 

 ciously fragrant, a strong-growing and free- 

 flowering variety. 



The Bride. A pure White Rose of large size 

 and perfect form ; delicious Tea fragrance.

American Beauty. A hardy Rose of the largest size, having the ever- 

 blooming qualities of the Tea Rose, with the delicious odor of the Damask

 color it is a deep, brilliant pink, shaded toward the centre with rich

Bridesmaid. A "sport" from C. Mermet, and possessing all the good 

 qualities of the parent variety. It surpasses it in color, being a deep, 

 brilliant pink and constant in color under all conditions. It is invaluable 

 for winter.
