 ing the Rose very easy to handle. 



The Queen. 



This grand White Ever-blooming 

 Tea Rose was introduced by us in 

 1889, and was received with great 

 favor both in this country and in 

 Europe. The Queen is a large, pure 

 white, free-blooming Tea Rose, the 

 off'spring of that fine old Rose, the 

 Souv. d'un Amie, whose many good 

 qualities it possesses to a remarkable 

 degree ; it is a continuous bloomer, 

 producing successive crops of buds, 

 and flowers in great profusion ; the 

 buds are beautifully formed, with 

 large petals of best substance ; shows 

 the centre but slightly when fully 

 open ; color pure snowy white ; ex- 

 quisitely scented ; a vigorous and 

 healthy grower ; altogether we con- 

 sider the Queen one of the best, if 

 not the best White Tea Rose now in 

 cultivation. 



Sunset. 



This grand Rose is a great favorite 

 wherever known ; the color is a rich 

 golden amber or old gold, elegantly 



shaded with dark ruddy crimson, 

 resembling the beautiful tints seen 

 in a Summer sunset ; the flowers- 

 and buds are extra-large, full, finely 

 formed, and deliciously perfumed ; 

 it is a strong and vigorous grower 

 and free bloomer, highly recom- 

 mended both for open ground and 

 for forcing. 



Triomphe de Pernet Pere. 



Originated and sent out by Jean 

 Pernet, one of the most celebrated 

 Rose growers of France, who has 

 already given us some very beautiful 

 Roses, but considers this the triumph 

 of his life. The flowers are extra 

 large, having broad, thick petals and 

 long tapering buds, with delicious 

 tea fragrance ; color fine clear ma- 

 genta red, sometimes passing to 

 bright crimson, very striking and 

 beautiful, and of such substance that 

 the flowers retain their beauty for a 

 long time ; very brilliant and hand- 

 some. 



Virginia. 



This elegant Rose, which we in- 

 troduced in 1894 for the first time, is 

 the result of a cross between Safrano 

 and Marechal Niel. With the excep- 

 tion of foliage we can detect no 

 difi'erence between it and General 

 Robert E. Lee. We consider it one 

 of the most promising Tea Roses of 

 modern introduction. It is a vigor- 

 ous grower of bushy habit ; the 

 blooms are large, double, finely 

 formed, lasting, and of excellent 

 substance, often remaining on the 

 bush until dried up ; color a light 

 yellow with a tinge of saff'ron at the 

 centre, and reverse of petals a pink- 

 ish cast ; perfume a delicate and de- 

 lightful tea scent ; should be very fine 

 for forcing. 10 forli.25 ; $10 per 100. 



Except where noted, any of the above varieties $1.00 per dozen— $6.00 per 100.
