ft Wonderful fleiu Jflany-eoloped fyose, 



"INCONSTANT BEAUTY." 



A wonderful new Eose, deriving its name of " Inconstant Beauty " 

 (Beaute Inconstante) from its quality of producing flowers of differ- 

 ent shades on the same plant. The colors vary from crimson to 

 light pink, through shades of tawny red, light yellow with orange 

 and citron-red centre, pale flesh with pink centre, orange chrome 

 and deep rose, all these colors being frequently seen on one bush 

 at the same time. The beauty of color effects is indescribable. 

 Plant strong and vigorous, flowers full and double. It is a true Tea 

 Eose, consequently ever-blooming and deliciously fragrant. Price, 

 1st size, 75c. each ; 2d size, 40c. each ; 3d size, 25c. each, $2.25 doz. 

 Corinna (Tea-scented). First prize as best seedling Rose, Inter- 

 national Horticultural Exhibition, 1892 ; four First-class Certifi- 

 cates ; Award of Merit, R. H. S. The tints of color blended in 

 the flowers of this beautiful Rose render it so attractive and dis- 

 tinct from all other Tea Roses that the blooms exhibited have 

 created quite a sensation. They may be described as of flesh 

 color, shaded with rose and suffused with a warm flush of tawny 

 copper ; they are of large size, full and of excellent shape, and 

 very freely produced on strong stems. We feel assured that this 

 Rose will be equally appreciated for decorative purposes, cutting 

 and for exhibition. The growth is vigorous, and for a Tea Rose 

 the plant is very hardy. Price, 1st size, $1.00 each ; 2d size, 75c. 

 each ; 3d size, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. 

 Climbing Queen of Queens. A "sport " from the well-known and 

 favorite hardy Rose, Queen of Queens, of strong climbing habit, 

 producing the elegant pink flowers of the parent variety ; a valu- 

 able addition to the autumnal flowering climbing Roses. Price, 

 1st size, $1.00 each ; 2d size, 60c. each ; 3d size, 40c. each, $4.00 doz. 



Pink Rover (Hybrid Tea). Flowers very 

 pale pink, deeper in the centre, large, full 

 and expanded; exceedingly sweet; buds 

 long, clean and handsome, most useful for 

 button-holes; the fully open flowers have 

 the delicate tints of the Maiden's Blush 

 Roses; thoroughly "perpetual" inhabit, 

 every shoot being crowned with a flower 

 bud. Growth semi-climbing ; a most desir- 

 able Rose forpillars, standards orcovering 

 short distances on walls and fences. Price, 

 large plants, $1.00 each, $9.00 per doz. 



flflfftY CIiUMlIfc f{0SE, 



Climbing "La France." 



It is doubtful if, since the introduction of 

 "Gen. Jacqueminot" and "La France," 

 there has been offered such a sterling novelty 

 in Roses as the Climbing La France. Hith- 

 erto the hardy climbing Roses have been 

 almost totally devoid of perfume, and none of 

 them have that form and substance deemed 

 requisite in a high-class Rose. With the ad- 

 vent of Climbing La France, these objections 

 vanish, for it excels even its parent (La 

 France) in size and quality of flower, it re- 

 tains the charming peach-pink color and the 

 exquisite fragrance which have made "La 

 France" the favorite it is. As an evidence 

 of its robust habit we cite the fact that small 

 plants set out June 15th had attained a 

 growth of fifteen feet by October 15th, a 

 growth unsurpassed by any climbing Rose in 

 our grounds. The Climbing La France is 

 equally as hardy as its parent, and so may be 

 safely planted in the open ground, even in 

 our northern latitudes. Price, 1st size (large 

 plants), 75c. each ; 2d size, 60c. each, $6.00 

 per doz. ; 3d size, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



Franciska Kruger. 



The striking color of this handsome Rose 

 places it at once in the front as a bud 

 producer in the open air. It is closely al- 

 lied to Catherine Mermet, and resembles it 

 in everything save color. In its shading of 

 deep coppery-yellow it stands unique and 

 distinct from all others. The flower, when 

 open, is of good size and very symmetrical. 

 One of the finest Roses to plant in masses 



and clumps. Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. 



each, S3. 00 per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 



Marie Van tioutte. 



One of the very finest of the Tea or ever-blooming Roses for out- 

 door bedding, combining as it does a remarkably vigorous constitu- 

 tion with symmetrical habit and wonderful profusion of bloom, 

 with very full and double, sweetly fragrant flowers. In the bud 

 or open blossom it is exquisite, the coloring being pale yellow, 

 with tints of pink throughout, the edges of the petals lined with 

 bright rose, the centre of the flower filled with light rose and pink. 

 Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 

 per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 



NEW TEA ROSE, 



Comtesse de Breteuil. 



A grand new Tea Rose of French origin that will be of great 

 value for outdoor bedding from its fine growth and splendid 

 flowers. It is of very vigorous growth, but dwarf and compact; 

 flowers medium to large in size, with petals of good substance. 

 Color salmon-rose, centre bright rose, shaded with apricot ; beau- 

 tiful globular buds and very fragrant. Price, 1st size, 60c. each ; 

 2d size, 40c. each ; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 



Banksia Roses. 



Splendid climbing Roses for the greenhouse in the North and

 merable flowers. We offer both white and yellow. Price, imported
