New flany= Flowered Rose, "Snowball." 



NOVELTIES among Roses are always acceptable and in "Snow- 

 ball '' we have one of the most charming acquisitions imagin- 

 able. Of a dwarf, compact habit, with rich, green foliage, 

 and a bounteous blooming quality which is really wonderful. Twenty- 

 five to fifty blossoms, white as snow and resembling a Camellia in 

 compactness and purity of color, are produced in large clusters, 

 literally covering the plant, and emitting a sweet, delicate odor. As 

 a pot or border plant, its abundance of flowers, vigorous constitution, 

 and attractive fragrance give it advantages beyond all others in this 

 section of Roses. {See cut). Large 2 year-old plants. $6. 00 per doz. ; 

 young plants from 3-inch pots. $2.00 per doz. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose, " Clara Watson." 



THIS is one of the most beautiful winter-flowering roses, of the 

 largest size, very fragrant and fine form. The predominating 

 color is salmon pink, blended with blush pink on the outer 

 edge of the petals, with just enough yellow at the base to bring out 

 the whole, making it a very artistic and distinct flower. It is a very 

 strong grower and very free flowering, and must become a general 

 favorite. It is also a grand summer bedding rose, good strong 

 grower, fine substance and free bloomer. Price, plants from 3-inch 

 pots, $10.00 per 100.

NEW MAN'Y-FLOWERED ROSE, " SNOWBALL. " 



GOLD MEDAL ROSE, 



JUBILEE. 



IT is a true Hybrid Remontant Rose, 

 perfectly hardy, blooming in the fall 

 as well as in the early summer, very 

 vigorous, large, dark green foliage, one 

 of its distinguishing features ; short- 

 jointed, long flower stems, and branches 

 freely, blooms most abundantly, three 

 flowers and over on each shoot, the 

 ideal habit for a hardy garden Rose. 

 The flowers are very large, reaching 

 six inches across under good culture ; 

 outer petals partially reflexed and re- 

 curved, the centre petals upright and 

 very gracefully disposed, giving grace and finish with- 

 out showing the centre ; they last a long time when cut. 

 The buds are long and rounded, the petals falling 

 away gracefully, revealing the rich velvety texture. 

 The fragrance is strong, delightfully rich and very 

 lasting. 



Its wealth of Color.— A pure red in its deepest tone, 

 shading to deep crimson red. and velvety maroon red 

 in the depths of the petals. " The coloring is alive. " 

 as one expressed it. "It fairly glows in its rich 

 warmth of coloring," another said. The rich velvety 

 finish to the petals is all its own, and is not even ap- 

 proached by any other Rose yet introduced. It is ad- 

 mirable, unique, and, as Mr. F. Schuyler Matthews, the 

 celebrated artist, said, 'This Rose contains the 

 darkest color, combined, with pure color, of 

 "which nature is capable." It required centuries and 

 the skill of the world's hybridizers to produce this 

 peerless Rose, perfect in all its attributes, peerless in its 

 magnificent color, and it is fair to assume that it will 

 again require the centuries to produce its equal — if it 

 ever is produced — for nature is not prolific in repetitions.
