HARDY STANDARD or TREE ROSES. 



One advantage of the Standard Bose is that being 5 feet in 

 height the flowers can be seen close to the eye and the fragrance 

 inhaled without stooping. They are particularly adapted for 

 city gardens or lawns, forming heads from 2 to 3 feet across. A 

 little care in training makes them models of beauty. Only the

The following were received from Europe after the Novelty pages of this catalogue had gone to press, so, although a little out 

 of place, we offer them here. 



LEONOTIS LEONURUS (LION'S TAIL). 



{Ready May 1st.) 



A very interesting plant when in flower. Grows like a winter flowering Salvia. It produces spikes of orange colored 

 blooms, three or four whorls in September, and each bloom is exactly the shape of a lion's tail. This should be grown by aU 

 possessing a collection of plants, and who wish for something novel. $1.00 each. 



NEW DOUBLE TROPEOLUM (Bicolor Fl. PI.) 



The deserved popularity of the double orange colored variety. " Herman Grasshoff," will be more than equaled by this new 

 and splendid acquisition. It produces in wonderful profusion its rich, orange colored flowers, which are distinctly striped with 

 scarlet. 50 cts. each ; $4.50 per dozen. 



I received the Roses to-day in fine order. You pack with more skill and judgment than any one I have ever dealt with.
