THE 



LAKEWOOD 



Collection of Twelve Roses, 



MONTHLY AND EYER-BLOOMING. 



(Six of which are shown above.) 



| HE " Lakewood " collection of twelve ever-blooming Koses contains, in our opinion, the best dozen of ever-blooming and bedding/ 

 1 varieties it is possible to obtain in that number, all being invaluable for summer and winter blooming. This is, we believe, the 

 ' finest collection ever grouped in one offer and at such a low price. Space will not permit us to illustrate all of them, although 

 each is worthy of it. 



No. I. SOUVENIR. DE WOOTTON. 



This superb Eose is unquestionably one of the finest varieties 

 ever introduced for either summer or winter blooming. The color 

 is a beautiful shade of crimson, deliciously fragrant, a constant and 

 most prolific bloomer, every new shoot forming a flower-bud. 

 We have tried this for hardiness in the open ground and find it 

 will live out all winter in the latitude of New York City. (See cut.) 



No. 2. MADAME HOSTE. 



This is a creamy white shade with a clear amber centre, a hand- 

 some Eose, and is never out of bloom. Whether wanted for 

 summer or winter flowers this excellent variety cannot be sur- 

 passed. (<See cut.) 



No. 3. MALMAISON. 



This grand old variety, when used as a bedding Eose in summer, 

 has no equal, as it produces the most perfect flowers in the hottest 

 weather. Its rich, flesh-colored flowers are of immense size, are 

 produced in abundance, and have the requisite form and substance 

 to withstand our hot, dry summers. Exquisitely fragrant. (See cut.) 



No. 4. PEREE DBS JARDINS. 



No Eose of its color is more valuable than this. Tens of thou- 

 sands of it are grown in the vicinity of New York for winter 

 flowering ; it is equally valuable for summer, as it flowers continu- 

 ously. Its color is a rich shade of yellow, large size and perfect' 

 form, Tea fragrance, a healthy, free grower, and unequaled in 

 profusion of bloom. (See cut.) 



No. 5. MRS. DEGRAW. 



An entirely hardy ever-blooming Monthly Eose, full double flowers, 

 deep pink in color, deliciously fragrant. A superb grower end 

 wonderfully free bloomer. (See cut.) 



No. 6. MARIE LAMBERT. 



A pure white Eose, ever-blooming, of large size and delicious 

 fragrance. As a bedding Eose it is unequaled in its color and is 

 sometimes called the " White Hermosa." (See cut.) 



PAPA GONTIER. 



This is one of the most fashionable of our winter-flowering Eoses, 

 but is equally useful for summer bedding. Color, a glowing 

 carmine crimson. 



NIPHETOS. 



The White Eose par excellence — large pointed buds — very free- 

 flowering. Particularly valuable for winter forcing and summer 

 blooming. 



MME. DE WATTEVILLE. 



A grand Eose for either summer or winter blooming. Color, 

 beautiful shell pink, deepening to bright rose at the edge of the 

 petals, the body of the flower being creamy white. This combina- 

 tion of colors suggests the name of " The Tulip Eose." 



THE BRIDE. 



" The Bride" is a pure white Eose of large size and most perfect 

 form. This variety has the most delicious Tea fragrance, and is a 

 strong-growing, free-blooming Eose either for summer or winter 

 flowering. 



SUNSET. 



This exquisite orange-yellow variety is one of the finest Tea 

 Eoses grown. The flowers are large and double. The exquisite 

 shades of coloring found in this variety can only be compared to 

 the gorgeous colors of a summer sunset ; hence the name. It is 

 deliciously fragrant, a strong-growing and free-flowering variety. 



CATHERINE MERMET. 



This charming Eose deserves and receives recognition from all 

 Eose lovers. It is eagerly sought after in winter by the ultra- 

 fashionable, and is perhaps the most admired of all the Tea Eoses. 

 The color is a delicate rosy pink unapproached by any other. The 

 buds are large, long and pointed, of great substance and most 

 delicious fragrance.
