Flowers of 
Catherine Mermet. 
This charming Rose deserves and receives recog- 
nition from all Rose lovers. Itis eagerly sought 
after in winter by the ultra-fashionable, and is per- 
haps the most admired of all the Tea Roses. The 
color is a delicate rosy pink unapproached by any 
other. The buds are large, long and pointed, of 
great substance and most delicious fragrance. For 
over twenty years it has reigned supreme in its 
class and color.

each, $3.00 per doz. ; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 
Meteor. 
““Meteor” is a remarkably rich dark velvety 
erimsen Rose; so dark, indeed, that under certain 
conditions it is blackish crimson. It is a constant 
and profuse bloomer, very vigorous and healthy in 
growth. No dark red Rose is more useful for sum- 
mer cut flowers, as it is so double that it produces 
perfect flowers in the hottest weather. For winter 
flowers it is rapidly becoming the most valuable 
variety on the market. 
Ist size, 50c.; 2d size, 30c.; 3d size, 15c. each. 
$4.50, $3.00 and $1.50 per doz. 
Souvenir de Wootton. 
This superb Rose, shown in the accompanying 
engraving, is unquestionably one ofthe finest vari- 
eties ever introduced for either summer or winter 
blooming. The color is a beautiful shade of erim- 
son, deliciously fragrant, a constant and most pro- 
lific bloomer, every new shoot forming a flower-bud ; 
itretains its color better than any Rose of its class, 
and is exceedingly vigorous in growth, rendering 
it one of the most satisfactory Roses for either the 
amateur or commercial florist to grow. We have 
tried this for hardiness in the open ground and find 
‘it will live out all winter in the latitude of New 
York City.
