PRICES FARTHER REDUCED! PLANTS SPLENDID! CALL AND EXAMINE 



The "Sunset Rose" originated with us in the 

 winter of 1880, being a shoot from a plant of 

 Perle des Jardins. We only secured one cut- 

 ting, which, fortunately, has held its distinctive 

 character without a variation. It is identical in 

 every respect with that hitherto unequaled 

 Rose, Perle des Jardins, except that its color, in- 

 stead of being a canary yellow, as in that variety, 

 is of the rich tawny shade of saffron and orange, 

 similar but deeper than the coloring of Safrano 

 or Md. Falcot. In size, vigor, and productive- 

 ness it is in all respects the same as the variety 

 from which it sprung, except that the color of 

 the young foliage is of a much deeper crimson, 

 which contrasts' beautifully with the orange- 

 tinted safron flowers. 



As a new color for winter forcing it will be as 

 largely grown as Perle des Jardins, if not more 

 so, as the peculiar richness of shade is much 

 prized. It will be equally valuable as a summer- 

 blooming Rose out doors.- Any one that has 

 seen the rich tints of the old Safrano Rose 

 buds, when grown out doors, can form some con- 

 ception of what "Sunset" must be which is 

 is perfectly double, of fine form, richer tinted, and twice the size of Safrano. " Sunset,'' 

 from its being full and double, gives excellent buds, even in the hottest weather, when semi- 

 double Roses, such as Safrano, Bon Silene, etc., are nearly worthless. 



No better evidence can be had of the great value attached to the "Sunset" Rose by the 

 Trade, than the fact, that since Jauary 1st, we have sold upward of Eleven Thousand Plants 

 to the leading Rose Growers, of New-York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, undoubtedly a 

 greater number than has ever been sold of any new Rose that has been on the market such 

 a brieFlime. We invite all, to call and examine our flowering plants, well believing that 

 any one competent to judge will agree with us, that " Sunset " is the most valuable new Rose 

 ever offered in this country. The " Sunset " was exhibited in London during the past 

 Summer, and was Awarded a " First- Class Certificate" by the Royal Horticultural 

 Society.
