Zhe "Zviumph" Collection 



OF 



TWELVE HARDY ROSES, 



SJiOWtH OH THE COLiO^ED PllflTE OPPOSITE, 



Is unquestionably the finest collection of hardy Roses ever grouped in one offer. All hardy, free-blooming, large, fragrant 

 flowers. They may be left in the ground all winter in our Northern States. 



The "Triumph" collection of twelve hardy Eoses, named below, are unequaled in their class, combining the greatest variety of 

 form, richness of color and freedom of bloom which it is possible to get in that number. The first and second sizes will bloom this year, 

 and the third will make fine plants for next season's flowering. Where twelve sorts are wanted, we believe it would be impossible to 

 improve on this selection, and even if more are wanted a larger number of collections could be obtained with the best results. 



No. I. SUMMER. QUEEN. 



This splendid pink hardy Eose is of remarkably healthy, vigor- 

 ous growth, and wonderful blooming qualities. Some idea of its 

 enormously productive qualities can be obtained from the fact that 

 as many as twelve hundred flowers have been cut from a single plant, a 

 record seldom equaled and never surpassed by any other variety. 



No. 2. AUGUSTINE GUINOISSEAU 



(" White I,a France "). 



A " sport " from that fine hardy Eose, " La France," and similar 

 to it in every respect, excepting color, which, in this new sort, is a 

 unique shade of flesh white, hence its title of "White La France." 

 On account of its great freedom of bloom, delicious fragrance and 

 hardiness, it has become very popular. Price, 1st size, 75c. each ; 

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



No. 3. GEN. JACQUEMINOT. 



Now known everywhere. Color rich crimson ; of fine shape and 

 exquisite fragrance. This grand old variety holds its own against 

 all new comers, and is undoubtedly the finest hardy Eose of its 

 color. 



No. 4. ILRICH BRUNNER. 



A beautiful hardy Eose. The flowers are large, bright cherry 

 red, and very fragrant. They are borne on long flower stalks, 

 almost devoid of thorns. 



No. 5. ANNA ALEXIEFF. 



A grandly beautiful hardy Eose, large, full double flowers ; a 

 beautiful rose color, and produced in wonderful profusion. The 

 foliage is handsome, massive and luxuriant ; taken in its entirety, 

 this may be considered one of our very best hardy Eoses. 



No. 6. LA FRANCE. 



Flowers large and beautiful, either in the bud form or when 

 expanded ; peach-blossom color, shaded pink and silvery rose. 

 It is very free-blooming, every shoot forming a beautiful flower. 

 In addition to this, it is entirely hardy with a slight protection 

 of leaves, and most deliciously fragrant. 



No. 7. MRS. JOHN LAING. 



This is, we believe, the finest hardy Eose of its color ever 

 offered. It is an exquisite shade of shell-like pink, deliciously 

 fragrant, of the largest size, entirely hardy and ever-blooming. 

 Price for single plants, except where noted, 60c, 50c. 



No collection of Eoses is complete if it does not contain Mrs. John 

 Laing. Price, 1st size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 50c. each, 

 $5.00 per doz. ; 3d size, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



No. 8. DINSMORE. 



This fine variety possesses all the desirable qualities of a bed- 

 ding Eose— good color, fine form, a profuse bloomer, and stands 

 the rigor of our Northern winters without protection. The flowers 

 are large, perfectly double, and of a dazzling scarlet crimson 

 color, and have that rich, spicy fragrance peculiar to the best 

 hybrid Eoses. 



No. 9. MRS. DEGRAW. 



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

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

 wonderfully free bloomer. 



No. io. AMERICAN BEAUTY. 



In "American Beauty" we have a hardy Eose of the largest 

 size, having the ever-blooming qualities of the Tea Eose with the 

 delicious odor of the Damask or Moss Eose, consequently equally 

 valuable for winter or summer flowering. In color it is a deep 

 brilliant pink, shaded towards the centre with rich carmine crim- 

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



No. ir. PERFECTION DES BLANCHES. 



It is a finely formed, pure white variety, but occasionally shows 

 light blush when first opening. Beautiful shell-shaped petals, 

 evenly arranged. Flowers good size, perfect, and of fine form and 

 finish. One of the finest, freest, and most beautiful of the white 

 Hybrids. Almost as free a bloomer as the Teas. 



No. 12. NEW HARDY VARIEGATED ROSE, 

 ROGER LAMBKLIN. 



One of the most remarkable Eoses yet offered. The petals are 

 irregular on the edges like a double Petunia ; the color is glowing 

 crimson throughout, except the edges of the petals, which are all 

 distinctly marked with a white band, forming a sharp contrast and 

 the most unique combination of colors known in Eoses. The 

 foliage is large and handsome, even for a Hybrid Perpetual Eose, 

 a class noted for its fine foliage, and the one to which the Roger 

 Lambelin belongs. The growth is free and vigorous and the fra- 

 gi-ance is delightful, equal to the finest of the hardy Eoses. This 

 is a "novelty" of the most striking order. Price, 1st size, $1.50 

 each, S15.00 per doz. ; 2d size, $1.00 each, $9.00 per doz. ; 3d size, 

 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 

 15c. each, according to size ; $6.00, $4.50, $1.50 per doz. 



We offer the entire " TRIUMPH " COLLECTION of 12 sorts at a liberal reduction 



in price. 



Price, 1st size TRIUMPH COLLECTION for $6.50. If bought separately would cost $8.40.
