 grand old variety holds its own against all new-comers, and is 

 undoubtedly the finest hardy rose of its color.

 hardy rose, and the most prolific 

 in our experience, small plants a

Perle des Blanches. Pure 

 white, very free blooming, one of 

 the most desirable of the hardy 

 white roses. - 



Ulrich Brunner. One of the 

 most beautiful of our hardy 

 roses and a general favorite. The 

 flowers are large, rich cherry red 

 in color, spicy fragrance. 'The 

 flowering stems are long, with 

 grand foliage, almost, devoid of 

 thorns, making it the ideal rose 

 for cutting ■ 



Coquette des Blanches. Fine- 

 ly formed, pure white variety, but 

 occasionally shows light blush 

 when first opening. Beautiful 

 shell-shaped petals, evenly arranged. Flowers good size, perfect and of 

 fine form and finish. One of the finest, freest, and most beautiful of 

 the white Hybrids. Almost as free a bloomer as the Teas. 



Madame Plantier. This grand old variety is second only to ' ' Gen . 

 Jacqueminot" in general usefulness. As a cemetery rose it is still with- 

 out a rival. The flowers are borne in the greatest profusion, and are 

 of the purest while. Hardy as an oak and certain to grow as grass, it 

 is not to be wondered at that it still holds its own against all comers. 

 Catharine Mermet- The ideal light pink tea rose equally valua- 

 ble for summer and winter blooming.

 has been popularly styled the " White Hermosa."
