NEW HARDV EVER- 

 BLOOniNG ROSE, 



LIBERTY. 



The color is magnificent, rich fiery ruby with deep crimson tones 

 in the depths of the flowers. The petals are covered with a rich 

 velvety bloom like those of the "Jubilee" Kose, which we intro- 

 duced in 1897. The fragrance is delightful, all-pervading and re- 

 freshing, the crowning glory which alone would suCBce to give it a 

 high place amongst fine Roses. The horticultural press has 

 teemed with richly deserved encomiums, sufficient to fill pages, 

 but we have room only for one from American Gardening, which is 

 a type of the rest : 



"Never has nature yielded a more beautiful or more satisfying 

 color than that seen in 'Liberty.' Even as the ruby flashings of 

 generous wine have been an inspiration to verse writers for ages, 

 80 are we now fired to enthusiasm when contemplating the rich, 

 liquid-ruby hue of 'Liberty.' " 



Price, 1st size, 75c. each, S7.50 per doz. ; 2d size, 50c. each, $4.50 

 per doz.; 3d size, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. 



^tSS^^^^ZsB. WHITE HAHAN COCHET. 



"What has been so long desired, viz. : a pure white, hardy, ever- 

 blooming Rose, has been obtained in this grand variety. It has 

 all the requisites of a perfect garden Rose — substance, size, fra- 

 grance, hardiness, vigor and profusiou of bloom — rivaling the best 

 of the monthly ever-blooming Roses in the latter all-important 

 quality. It is a "sport" from the well-known and much-valued 

 Rose "Maraan Cochet," inheriting all its fine qualities, full and 

 firm buds, long and pointed, the ideal shape for a Rose, and keep- 

 ing a long time when cut. Wherever fine Roses are grown or a 

 hardy white ever-blooming Rose is wanted, the White Maman 

 Cochet should be planted. 



Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz. ; 2d size, 40c. each, $4.00 

 per doz. ; 3d size, 15c. each, SI. 50 per doz. 



SEM^n^'^rVs^'^- "THE BURBANK." 



This valuable new Rose is a cross between Hermosa and a seed- 

 ling of Bon Silene. It proves hanly everywhere with slight pro- 

 tection. Burbank is a Rose wonderfully improved in size, 

 brilliancy of color and perfection of form, with Hermosa's valuable 

 habit of blooming all season. Every little plant commences to 

 bloom as soon as it starts from a cutting. Flowers rich shell pink, 

 inclining to crimson; full, double, reflex petals. A compact 

 grower. Foliage always free from rust, mildew or any defect. 



Price, 1st size, 60c. each ; 2d size, 40c. each ; 3d size, 20c. (-ach, 

 $2.00 per doz. 



Not unmindful of the low prices at which the above grand col- 

 lection of Roses is offered, we yet make another liberal offer, viz. : 

 •'A YARD OF ROSES" FREE WITH EVERY ORDER 

 FOR THE "EnPIRE" COLLECTION.

tDTr^o^e^"" ADHIRAL DEWEY. 



A new Hybrid Tea Rose of the largest size, very free flowering, 

 blooming continuously throughout the year, whether planted out 

 in the open ground or grown in pots or on benches in the green- 

 house. It lias been tried in the open ground and has been proved 

 hardy in the vicinity of New York. The ground color is a light 

 flesh tint, almost white, suffused with a beautiful blush, deepening 

 to a rosy blush in the centre, a large, full Rose with broad, strong 

 petals beautifully cupped. The stems are strong and straight, 

 liolding the flowers erect. 



Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 2d size, 40c. each, $4.00 

 per doz. ; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 



¥ir'R"o"sr^ BALDUIN. 



[Kaowa also as "Red Kalserln.") 



The color is unique, a very soft, intense carmine-crimson, with 

 deeper shades in the depths of the petals. The profusion of bloom 

 is truly marvelous, every shoot producing a flower. It is a grand 

 acquisition to our red Roses, and is equally valuable for Avinter 

 forcing or for summer blooming in the open ground. 



Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz. ; 2d size, 40c. each, $4.00 

 per doz. ; 3d size, 15c. each, SI. 50 i)er doz. 



YELLOW ROSE, ^ULtlL U Ulv. 



(Golden Sun.) 



The forerunner of a new race of Roses, the above variety is in a 

 class by itself and, in honor of the raiser, the new species has beea 

 named Rosa Pernetiana. Soleil d'Or (or "Golden Sun") is the- 

 result of a cross between Persian Yellow and Autoine Ducher. 

 It retains a good deal of the character of the former in the wood 

 and bark, but the foliage is vastly improved, being very plentiful, 

 large and a beautiful clear green, closely resembling that of th© 

 Crimson Rambler at its best. The habit of the plant is robust, 

 producing vigorous shoots in abundance, branches straight and of 

 good size ; the bark is reddish brown, making a charming contrast 

 for the vivid green foliage. The coloring of the flowers is very 

 rich, the buds are conical, a marvelously rich shade of chrome yel- 

 low with a glint of coppery rose in the centre. The expanded 

 flower is full, large and globular, the centre petals being well 

 incurved, forming a perfectly double bloom. The coloring in the 

 fully expanded flower is gloriously superb, Tumeresqne in its blend- 

 ing of reddish gold, orange-yellow, nasturtium red and opaline 

 pink. Words are inadequate to fittingly describe the almost riot- 

 ous luxury of rich, warm color contained in each bud and open 

 flower. Pages could be filled without doing justice to this peerless- 

 variety. A Hardy Yellow Rose, one that is really hardy in the 

 North in this country, has been the goal for which the world's best 

 hybridizers have been striving for years. Thousands (>f seedlings 

 have been obtained in which the blood of the Persian Yellow was- 

 present, but none was of sufficient merit to offer, when at a bound 

 this perfect variety appears upon the stage amid the enthusiastic 

 applause of all who have seen it. Already six first-class prizes 

 have been awarded to it, one at Paris last summer, and its career 

 lias hardly yet begun. Considering the great merit of this variety 

 and its scarcity, we are able to offer it very low. 



Price, 1st size, large two-year-old plants, $2.50 each ; 2d size, 

 one-year-old plants, $L50 each; young plants, ready about April 

 1st, $1.00 each, $9.00 per doz.
