"Meteor" is a remarkably rich dark velvety 

 crimson rose ; so dark, indeed, that under cer- 

 tain conditions it is blackish crimson. It is a 

 constant and profuse bloomer, very vigorous 

 and healthy in growth. No dark red Eose is 

 more useful for summer cut flowers, as it is so 

 double that it produces perfect flowers in the 

 hottest weather. For winter flowers it is rapidly 

 becoming the most valuable variety on the 

 market. Price, 1st size, 50c.; 2d size, 30c; 3d 

 size, 15c. each. $4.50, $3.00 and SI. 50 per doz. 



The ppiEr\ BeddimQ ^o$e, 



"Clothilde Soupert." 



This grand Eose is what is known as a "Poly- 

 antha Hybrid," obtained by crossing a monthly 

 ever-blooming variety with the Polyantha Eose, 

 "Mignonette," offered in our list of "Dwarf 

 Bedding Roses" on page 111. The result of this 

 cross has been to produce the splendid bedding 

 Eose, Clothilde Soupert, shown in the adjoining 

 engraving. The color is a French white, deep- 

 ening to rosy blush in the centre, exceeding in 

 distinctness of shadings the well-known Mal- 

 maison. Its greatest value lies in its compact, 

 vigorous habit, and wonderful profusion of 

 bloom, even the smallest plants being literally 

 covered with flowers. The form and substance of the 

 flowers are so perfect that the hottest weather does not 

 cause a deterioration of either, so that even in midsum- 

 mer a bouquet of splendid buds and open flowers can be 

 obtained from this fine variety. Too much cannot be said 

 in praise of this Eose for bedding purposes. It de- 

 servedly earned its title of the "Premier Bedding Rose." 

 Valuable as it is for garden purposes, it is even more so 

 for pot culture, and ranks as first for blooming in the 

 dwelling-house. 



Price, 1st size, 50c. each; $4.50~per doz. 2d size, 40c. each; 

 3d size, 15c. each; $1.50 per doz.; $8.00 per 100
