YORK.—WHOLESALE PLANT LIST. 
2 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW 
‘““EMPRESS AUGUSTA VICTORIA.” 
The Finest White Rose for Summer. 
“EMPRESS AUGUSTA VICTORIA.” 
This grand Rose is of German origin and was issued as ‘‘ Kazs- 
erin Augusta Victoria.” We have taken the liberty to translate the 
German ‘‘ Kaiserin” into Empress as being more appropriate for 
an English speaking people. Of the Rose itself we can say, after 
two years’ trial, that it can be fairly considered one of the greatest 
acquisitions of recent years. It is a true ‘‘Tea Rose,” soft pearly 
white, remarkably fragrant, a strong, healthy grower, with bold, 
beautiful foliage. The habit is free; the beautiful, perfectly 
shaped flowers are borne in profusion on long graceful stems, so 
that it will be invaluable for cut flowers. So free is it that, in our 
grounds, every shoot was invariably crowned with a magnificent 
flower. Professional florists have been quick to perceive the great 
value of this peerless variety, and it is now more eagerly sought 
after than almost any Rose on the market. ist size, 75c. each, 
$7.50 per doz.; 2d size, 80c, each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, lic. 
each, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 
“MRS. PAUL.” 
One of the most distinct Roses, perhaps, we have seen in years, 
and in our opinion pre-eminently adapted to outdoor bedding in 
our country. It possesses all the desired qualities for that pur- 
pose. Itis ever-blooming, strong, thrifty growth, large glossy 
green foliage, large fine flowers, which have the requisite sub- 
stance to withstand our hot, dry summers. The color is exquisite, 
a blush white, usually overlaid with rosy peach shadings ; this 
rich, unique coloring is one of its marked characteristics, and 
stamps it with a distinctive charm. The outer petals are grandly 
recurved, forming an excellent contrast to the Camellia-like inner 
petals For smoothness, richness and finish, this Rose is without 
arival. (Seecut.) Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $5.00 doz. ; 2d size, 
30c. each, $3.00 doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 doz., $10.00 per 100.

New Tea Rose, “GOLDEN GATE.” 
A promising Rose of American origin, and one that seems to 
be admirably adapted to the needs of our climate. We have given 
it an exhaustive trial and can conscientiously recommend it as. 
a superior variety for all uses. The flowers are large, very full 
and finely formed, and of excellent substance; the buds are long 
and of the most desirable form; the color is rich creamy white, 
beautifully tinged with fine golden yellow ; the petals are large. 
and broad, and exquisitely bordered and tinted with clear rose, 
making altogether a Rose of rare beauty. It isa strong, healthy 
grower, and a most profuse and continuous bloomer ; will produce 
more perfect buds and bloom than almost any variety we know; 
it is excellent for bedding, also for house culture and forcing.

producing flowers of different shades on the same plant. The

seen on one bush at the same time. The beauty of color effects-
