WICHUBIANA 



NEW CREEPING ROSE, 



ROSA WICHURIANA. 



(Unexcelled for Cemeteries.) 



The above engraving shows a 

 single spray of this beautiful 

 single Rose, but does not convey 

 any idea of its great value as a 

 decorative plant or its beauty 

 ■when covered with bloom. The 

 flowers are produced in wonder- 

 ful profusion, are from seven to 

 nine inches in circumference, 

 pure white, with golden yellow 

 stamens. For creeping over low 

 walls or rockeries it cannot be 

 excelled, and it is difficult to con- 

 ceive anything more appropri- 

 ate, beautiful and enduring for 

 covering graves in cemeteries. 

 It is perfectly hardy and requires 

 no care after being planted. 



Price, large plants, 60c. each, 

 $6.00 per doz. Small plants, 20c. 

 ■each, $2.00 per doz.; $12.00 per 

 100. 



A BEAUTIFUL ROSE BED. 



In the adjoining engraving we 

 show an oval bed filled with the 

 two most appropriate varieties 

 known for that purpose; viz., 

 Agrippina, planted in the cen- 

 tre, andHermosa, on the margin. 

 Below will be found full descriptions and prices 

 smallest will bloom abundantly this year. 



DWARF BEDDING ROSES. 

 POLYANfHA 0R MtiL/TlFLORA GL?ASS. 



A class of Roses of much value for bedding purposes, as they form a mass of bloom. 

 They are of dwarf habit, and are continuously in flower during the entire season. They 

 bloom in numerous clusters of from 25 to 100 flowers in each cluster, the single flowers 

 being about 1J£ inches across. These Polyantha Roses are hardy in this latitude with 

 slight protection. They are particularly valuable for planting on the borders of beds of 

 taller growing sorts, or on the edge of "foliage " beds, as they are constantly in bloom, 

 and rarely attain more than 10 or 12 inches in height. They are also largely used for borders 

 in cemetery plots, their neat and tasteful appearance commanding attention at first sight. 



Anna Marie Montravel. Beautiful white ; fine form. 



GEORGE FERNET. This variety is somewhat in advance of the others in 

 this class. Color, bright pink with coppery yellow at the base of the petals. 

 (See cut.)

 Set of 9 Dwarf Bedding Roses, 1st size, $3.50 ; set of 9 Dwarf Bedding 



Roses, 2d size, 75c. Single plants, 50c. and 10c. each. 



Mme. EEL1M YIYIAND MOREL. 



A new French variety of vigorous climbing 

 habit. The coloring of the flowers is wonderfully 

 charming, a blending of rich apricot, light pink, 

 bright canary, and pale yellow. These shades 

 are markedly distinct in some flowers, while in 

 others they run into each other 

 so that the color effects are al- 

 most as varied as the roses on 

 the plant. It is not hardy in the 

 Northern States, but is invalu- 

 able for indoors. Price, 1st size 

 (large plants), f$1.00 each ; 3d 

 size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 



Note. — We cannot supply an 

 intermediate size.

 Catherine Mermet, and indenti- 

 cal with that variety in every 

 characteristic excepting color, 

 which is a rich, deep, bright 

 pink. It is of great value either 

 for flowers in the garden or for 

 forcing in the greenhouse during 

 winter. 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 



per doz. ; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. ;
