Madame Hoste. This is a creamy white shade with a clear amber 
centre, a handsome Rose, and is never out of bloom. Whether wanted for 
summer or winter flowers this excellent variety cannot be surpassed.

dark, indeed, that under certain conditions itis blackish crimson. For 
winter flowers it is rapidly becoming the most valuable variety on the 
market. 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Niphetos. The White Rose par excellence—large pointed buds—yvyery 
free-flowering. Particularly valuable for winter forcing and summer 
blooming. 
Papa Gontier. This is one of the most fashionable of our winter- 
flowering Roses, but is equally useful for summer bedding. Color, a 
glowing carmine crimson. 
Perle des Jardins. No Rose of its color is more valuable than this. 
Tens of thousands of it are grown in the vicinity of New York for winter 
flowering ; it is equally valuable for summer, as it flowers continuously. 
Its color is a rich shade of yellow; large size and perfect form, Tea 
fragrance, a healthy, free grower, and unequaled in profusion of bloom. 
Souvenir de Wootton. This superb Rose is unquestionably one of 
the finest varieties ever introduced for either summer or winter blooming. 
The color is a beautiful shade of crimson, deliciously fragrant, a constant 
Yyy and most prolific bloomer, every new shoot forming a flower-bud. 
WZ fff Sunset. This exquisite orange-yellow variety is one of the finest Tea 
Y Roses grown. The flowers are large and double. The exquisite shades 
of coloring found in this variety can only be compared to the gorgeous 
colors of asummer sunset; hence the name. It is deliciously fragrant, 
a strong-growing and free-flowering variety.

In ‘‘American Beauty” we have a hardy Rose of the 
largest size, having the ever-blooming qualities of the 
Tea Rose with the delicious odor of the Damask or Moss 
Rose, consequently equally valuable for winter or 
summer flowering. The flowers of this grand Rose are 
eagerly sought in the New York market; when sold at 
retail, single buds bring $1.50 to $2.00 each at Christmas. 
In color it is a deep, brilliant pink, shaded towards the 
centre with rich carmine crimson. (See cut.) lst size, 
60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 2d size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.;

Another Rose of American origin, a ‘‘sport” from C. Mermet, 
and possessing all the good qualities of the parent variety. It 
surpasses it in color, being a deep, brilliant pink and constant in 
color under all conditions. It is invaluable for winter forcing.

Catherine Mermet. This charming Rose deserves and receives 
recognition from all Rose lovers. It is eagerly sought after in 
winter by the ultra-fashionable, and is perhaps the most admired 
of all the Tea Roses. The color is a delicate rosy pink unap- 
proached by any other. The buds are large, long and pointed, of 
great substance and most delicious fragrance.
