American Beauty.— In " American Beauty " we have a hardy Rose of the 

 largest size, having the ever-blooming qualities of the Tea Rose with the 

 delicious odor of the Damask or Moss Rose, consequently equally valuable 

 for winter or summer flowering. The flowers of this grand Rose are eagerly 

 sought in the New York market; when sold at retail, single buds bring 

 $1.50 to $2.00 each at Christmas. In color it is a deep, brilliant pink, shaded 

 towards the centre with rich carmine crimson. 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per 

 doz.; 2d size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 3d size, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



Bridesmaid. — Another Rose of American origin, a "sport" from C. Mer- 

 met, and possessing all the good qualities of the parent variety. It sur- 

 passes it in color, being a deep, brilliant pink and constant in color under 

 all conditions. It is invaluable for winter forcing. Price, 1st size, 50c. 

 each, $5.00 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, 

 $1.50 per doz. 



Catherine Mermet. — This charming Rose deserves and receives recog- 

 nition from all Rose lovers. It is eagerly sought after in winter by the 

 ultra^fashionable, and. is perhaps the most admired of all the Tea Roses. 

 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. 



Madame Hoste. — This is a creamy white shade with a clear amber centre, 

 a handsome Rose, and is never out of bloom. Whether wanted for summer 

 or winter flowers this excellent variety cannot be surpassed. 



Meteor. — This is a remarkably rich.dai'k velvety crimson Rose ; so dark, in- 

 deed, that under certain conditions it is blackish crimson. 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 $1.50 per doz.

 flowering. Particularly valuable for winter forcing and summer blooming. 



Papa Gontier. — This is one of the most fashionable of our winter-flower- 

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

 carmine crimson. 



Perle des Jardins. — No Rose of its color is more valuable than this. 

 Tens of thousands of it are grown in the vicinity of New York for winter 

 flowering ; it is equally valuable for summer, as it flowers continuously. 

 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. 



Souvenir de Wootton. — This superb Rose 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. 



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

 Roses 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. 



The Bride. — "The Bride" is a pure white Rose of large size and most 

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

 strong-growing, free-blooming Rose either for summer or winter flowering.
