GEN. JACQUEMINOT. {See below.) 



GENERAL COLLECTION. 



"We offer below a fine assortment of Hardy Roses carefully 

 selected from our large stock, all inferior varieties having been 

 discarded. 



A. K. Williams. Carmine red, changing to magenta. 

 Alfred Colomb. Very large and globular ; clear bright cherry. 

 ANNA DE DIESBACH. Beautiful carmine, large, double ; very 



free in bloom. One of the finest hardy Roses. 

 Boule de Neige. ("Ball of Snow.") Pure white; very free in 



blooming ; a very popular Rose. 

 Baron de Bonstetten. Velvety maroon, shaded deep crimson ; 



one of the grandest Roses in its color. 

 COUNTESS OF OXFORD. Soft carmine red ; large, full double 



flowers ; one of the very best in its class. 

 CAPTAIN CHRISTY. Delicate flesh color, deepening in shade 



toward the centre ; large, full and double ; it is one of the most 



distinct and beautiful Roses. 

 CAPRICE. The best striped hardy Rose. Ground color, bright 



carmine, striped very broadly and distinctly with white. 

 Caroline d'Arden. Pure rose color ; very large and deliciously 



fragrant ; a grand hardy Rose. 

 Dr. Lindley. Magnificent, dark crimson maroon ; extra fine. 

 Duchesse de Vallombrosa. Flesh color, shaded rose. 

 Duke of Edinburgh. Dark velvety crimson maroon ; fair size; 



full, regular form ; handsome and scented. 

 Eugene Furst. A hardy Rose of fine form and substance, very 



large flowers and massive petals ; very double ; color, dark vel- 

 vety crimson. 



Earl of Dufferin. Rich velvety crimson, shaded maroon ; large 

 and full; unquestionably one of the best dark Roses. 



GLOIRE DE MARGOTTIN. This fine hardy Rose is distin- 

 guished alike for its vigorous, healthy constitution, freedom of 

 bloom and handsome foliage ; but, beyond all, it is decidedly the 

 most brilliant hardy red Rose as yet introduced. So intense is 

 the color that it might almost be termed a scarlet. Added to 

 these qualities, it has flowers of the largest size and most ex- 

 quisite fragrance. It will prove hardy everywhere. 



GEN. JACQUEMINOT. Now known everywhere. The best of 

 all forcing Roses of the Hybrid Perpetual class. Hundreds of 

 thousands of feet of glass are exclusively devoted to this one 

 variety. The buds, in midwinter, wholesale at from 25 cents to 

 50 cents apiece. 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 Rose of its color. 

 (See cut.) 



Glory of Waltham. Brilliant crimson ; deliciously fragrant. 



H. Schultheis. Delicate pinkish rose ; full, double and sweet. 



Jean Liabaud. A grand dark red — almost crimson rose. 



John Hopper. Bright rose with carmine centre ; large and full. 



Lady Helen Stewart. Bright crimson, shaded scarlet ; a good 

 grower and abundant bloomer. 



Louis Van Houtte. Crimson maroon ; full and half globular ; 

 one of the very finest crimson Roses. 



MME. GABRIEL LUIZET. A grand pink Rose, light, clear 

 pink, with a satiny sheen, which glistens in the sunlight. A gem 

 among light pink Roses, very profuse blooming. 



Mme. Chas. Wood. Reddish crimson ; dwarf and very free- 

 blooming. 



Mme. Alfred Carriere. Pure white ; slender, graceful growth ; 

 a very useful sort. 



MADAME MASSON. A magnificent hardy Rose; free-bloom- 

 ing, large and handsome ; color, clear, bright rosy red, delicious- 

 ly fragrant. 



MAGNA CHARTA. This is one of the easiest of the Hybrid 

 Perpetual Roses to grow. It blooms freely under the most un- 

 favorable conditions. The color is a deep pink, large and full ; 

 a grand Rose. Our stock of this has been carefully selected, so 

 that the most ordinary care will result in a good crop of flowers. 



Mme. Isaac Perrier. Full and double ; brilliant crimson. 



Mme. Norman Neruda. Light cherry carmine of medium size ; 

 very fragrant. 



Mme. Plantier. A perfectly hardy, pure white double Rose. 



Maurice Bernardin. Bright crimson, large full flowers ; a seed- 

 ling of Gen. Jacqueminot and one of the best. 



Marie Baumann. Crimson, vermilion, suffused carmine. 



Marshal P. Wilder. Cherry rose mingled with carmine. 



Marchioness of Lome. Bright rose with carmine centre ; large, 

 sweet, full and cupped ; a grand Rose. 



Mrs. Laxton. Deep velvety red ; finely formed flower, full and 

 free. 



PAUL NEYRON. A beautiful shade of deep rose, occasionally 

 lightening to satiny pink in the centre. One of the very largest, 

 if not the largest, Rose in existence. The branches are long and 

 the foliage is superb, in keeping with the flowers ; few thorns. 

 Full, double, fragrant flowers. No collection complete without it. 



PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN. One of the grandest hardy 

 red Roses and unapproached in color. It is best described as a 

 blackish crimson, though that is far from giving an adequate 

 idea of the rich velvety color. It is sometimes called " The 

 Black Jack," because it resembles Gen. Jacqueminot in every- 

 thing but its grand deep coloring. 



Prince Arthur. Deep crimson ; small perfectly formed flowers. 



Pres. Thiers. Flaming red ; large sized flowers, full and globular. 



Queen of Queens. Pink, with blush edges; large, full and of 

 perfect form. A grand Rose. 



Rosieriste Jacobs. Bright red ; an attractive variety. 



Rev. H. Dombrain. Very dark crimson ; free-flowering and hardy. 



Sir G. Wolseley. Bright red, shaded carmine. 



T. W. Girdlestone. A grand hardy Rose of recent introduction ; 

 brilliant vermilion red. 



ULRICH BRUNNER. A beautiful hardy Rose in flower and 

 foliage. The former is large and cupped, bright cherry red, and 

 very fragrant. The flowers are borne on long flower stalks, 

 almost devoid of thorns. 



Xavier Olibo. Deep rich crimson ; perfectly formed flowers, large 

 and moderately full. A fine variety.
