pots, 25 cents each, ^2.50 per dozen; in 3 inch pots, 20 cents 



each, ^1.50 per dozen — [save where priced.) 



Duchess of Edinburgh. This extraordinary novelty among Tea Eoses, in color is 

 a deep glowing crimson, very free flowering, and as good a bedding variety as 

 the crimson China. The flowers are large, full, fine form and substance. For 

 winter forcing, it is superior to all other high colored roses. 



Perle des Jardins. Deep canary yellow, very large, double, flowers in peduncles, 

 very vigorous. In Europe, this variety is considered a formidable rival of 

 Marechal Niel. Florists will find it more profitable than Marechal Niel, as it 

 is of fine growth, fiowers freely, opens well, and is all that can be desired in 

 shape and color. 



Perle de Lyon. Deep yellow, large, double, free, vigorous grower and free 

 bloomer. From its very vigorous habit, it is suitable for training up pillars, 

 and during winter it gives large magnificent flowers in profusion. 



Marie Guillot. Among the newer light roses this is the finest, large flower, pure 

 white, very slightly tinted yellow ; flower very large, double, finely imbricated ; 

 beautiful alike in bud or full bloom. 



Cornelia Cook. This rose has been some time in cultivation, but its great value 

 as a forcing rose has been overlooked. It gives magnificent long white buds 

 of the most perfect shape. 



Niphetos. A large and very double white rose; it is also most beautiful in 

 bud.
