SPECIALTIES IN HEW ROSES. 



MADAME CAROLINE TESTOUT. 



NEW HYBRID TEA ROSE, 



"Madame Caroline Testout." 



Another magnificent Rose of French origin, equally valuable 

 for summer or winter blooming ; flowers full, very large, globu- 

 lar form ; color clear satin rose ; very vivid ; petals bordered 

 with tender rose; very fragrant. Vigorous grower; branches 

 strong and straight; thorns numerous and projecting ; beautiful 

 foliage, large brownish green. This variety resembles La 

 France, but its color is more deep, vivid and brilliant, flowers 

 less full, but are better form. It is also more vigorous and 

 blooms abundantly. (See cut.) Price, 2 in. pots, $8.00 per 100 ; 

 3 in. pots, $10.00 per 100 ; 5 in. pots, $25.00 per 100. 



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, center bright rose, shaded with apricot ; 

 beautiful globular buds and very fragrant. Price, 2 in. pots, 

 $8.00 per 100 ; 3 in. pots, $10,00 per 100. 



HARDY CLIMBING ROSE, 



Climbing: "L,a 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. Hitherto 

 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 advent of 

 Climbing La France, these objections vanish, 

 ' for it excels even its parent (La France) in size 

 and quality of flower ; it retains 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 in 

 our houses had attained a growth of fifteen 

 feet by October 15th. Price, 2 in. pots, $10.00 

 per 100 ; 3 in. pots, $15.00 per 100. 



NEW YELLOW HYBRID TEA ROSE, 



"Mad. Fernet Duclier." 



A charming Rose, and a new shade in this 

 section, being the first with a distinct yellow 

 coloring. The outside petals are sulphur yel- 

 low and assume a deeper shade toward the 

 center. The open flower is semi-double, very 

 graceful, and holds well together ; it is an 

 ivory-white in color, with a polished glistening surface like a 

 water lily. The habit of the plant is free and graceful; the 

 fragrance of the flowers is delightful. This is in every way a 

 charming Rose, and should be in every collection. Price, 2 in. 

 pots, $4.00 per 100 ; 3 in. pots, $6.00 per 100 ; 5 in. pots, $20.00 

 per 100. 



NEW CRIMSON BEDDING ROSE, 



"Marion Dingee." 



This fine Rose is a most valuable bedding variety. It is a 

 strong, vigorous grower, making a handsome, well-balanced 

 plant, with large, thick, deep green leaves ; the flowers are large, 

 beautifully cup-shaped, moderately full and borne in wonderful 

 profusion on long, straight stems. They are of excellent sub- 

 stance, having thick, leathery petals, which hold their form and 

 color for a long time. The color is deep, brilliant crimson, one of 

 the darkest, if not the very darkest, and richest colored Tea 

 Roses we have. Price, 2 in. pots, §6.00 per 100; 3 in. pots, $8.00 

 per 100 ; 5 in. pots, $25.00 per 100. 



POLYANTHA OR MULTIFLORA ROSES. 



A class of Roses of much value for bedding purposes, as they 

 form a mass of bloom. They are of dwarf habit, and are con- 

 tinuously in flower during the entire season. They bloom in 

 numerous clusters of from 25 to 100 flowers in each cluster, the 

 single flowers being about 1% inches across. These Polyantha 

 Roses are hardy in this latitude with slight protection. They 

 are particularly valuable for planting on the borders of beds of 

 taller growing sorts.

 Clothilde Soupert. (See Colored Plate and page 110.)
