“* From now on, how- 
ever, Mrs. DEGRAW 
.| performs her mission- 
ary work, and we rely 
upon this almost un- 
known variety for the 
bulk of our Roses be- 
tween July and Octo- 
ber.’’—W™M. FALCONER

ist.” 
ROSE, 
“Mrs. Degraw.” 
VERY one wants a hardy ever- 
blooming Rose, and when our 
attention was called to the grand 
variety shown in the accompanying en- 
Sosa 
(wes graving, we at once took steps to procure 
ee . 5 
Gs it for our customers. Following our 
ae usual practice, we gave it a thorough 
trial before offering it, and we are glad to 
say that it has fully justified the high 
= ‘ Opinion formed of it when first seen by 
7 us. It is with the greatest pleasure, 
therefore, we announce to our customers 
that we have raised a grand stock of 
this superb Rose, and can confidently recommend it as being entirely hardy, equaling the 
tender sorts in profusion of bloom. From early summer until frost it may be depended upon 
to produce flowers in abundance. Incolor itis arich glossy pink, delightfully fragrant, and is 
‘such a strong, vigorous grower that it is almost impregnable against attacks of the insects which 
usually destroy some of our finest Roses, thus it is certain to be unequaled for the garden or 
cemetery. It is fair to say that this superb variety was raised by Mr. Wm. Burgess some years 
ago, but remained almost unknown until now, when we bring its merits before the public. Read 
what that eminent authority, Mr. Wm. Falconer, says aboutit in a letter to the ‘““American Florist,” 
an extract from which we print in the upper left-hand corner of the engraving. The sketch was 
MES. DEGRAW, 
amade from nature by our own artist, and shows the wonderfully prolific blooming qualities of 
this grand Rose. Every shoot is loaded with flowers as shown. 
Price, lst size, $1.00 each ; $9.00 per dozen.

GRAND 
New-Bedding-Rose, 
(HARDY.) 
“Dr. Reymont.” 
This fine hardy, ever-blooming 
sort was obtained by crossing the 
well known Gen. Jacqueminot and 
the Rosa Polyentha or Multiflora. 
With such good parentage it is need- 
less to say that the progeny is excel- 
lent. It inherits the hardiness and 
splendid crimson-colored flowers of 
the Gen. Jacqueminot—which are 
| but little reduced in size—with the 
profuse blooming qualities of the 
Polyantha class, thus combining the 
two qualities most desired in a garden 
Rose. Bear in mind that this Rose 
| is entirely hardy, ever-blooming and 
delightfully fragrant. 
Ist size, 75c. each; $7.50 per doz.

New lybrid Tea Rose 
“Wime. A. Duron.” 
This fine variety exhibits the best 
traits of this useful class of Roses. 
Itisadwarf, compact grower, making 
it a particularly valuable sort for the 
garden; has dark crimson, very 
double flowers which are perfect 
even in the hottest weather, and has 
the rich spicy perfume peculiar to 
the finest hardy Roses. Take it all 
in all we believe that it has qualities 
which will certainly make it a general 
favorite. It will prove to be entirely 
hardy if given a protection of straw, 
leaves or litter in the winter.

NEW EVER-BLOOMING 
CLIMBING * ROSE, 
‘“‘Elize Beauyillaine.”’ 
A variety recently imported from 
France which gives promise of be- 
coming valuable, especially for the 
Southern States, where it will be en- 
tirely hardy. It is a very rapid 
grower and produces deep buff col- 
ored flowers very similar in color 
to the well known ‘‘Sunset”? Rose 
introduced by us.

My Roses and Vines reached me by 
express yesterday. I write to express 
my thanks for the extras that you threw 
in, and for the care used in the selection 
of stock and packing. It seems to me 
that the Roses could not be surpassed. 
The manner in which they were sent 
shows that you use extra care in the 
interest of your custoniers.—W. I. JEN-
