INTERESTING ODDITIES-roses 



"A Sensation of the Century" 



• THE BLUE ROSE (VeiichenbUu) 



A new Rose from Holland that originated from Crimson Rambler. 

 It bears semi-double flowers of medium size, in large bunches. The orig- 

 inators describe the color as "reddish or rosy lilac when opening, changing 

 to amethyst or metallic blue." We have bloomed it inside and outside and 

 find it as described and a very distinct novelty. Thoroughly hardy and a 

 \4gorous, tall-growing climber. Price, i-yr., 20 cts., postpaid; 2-yr., 45 cts.; 

 Star size, 75 cts., by express. 



THE GREEN ROSE (Viridiflora) 



An Oddity— the Very Thing for 

 St. Patrick's Day 



The wonderful Green Rose; a valuable 

 curiositj-. Petals of the flowers are same 

 color as the leaves — a deep pea-green — 

 a free bloomer. Price, i-yr., 15 cts., post- 

 paid; 2-yr., 40 cts., by express.

 A Most Remarkable and Pleasing Novelty 



The Green Rose 



The blooms are medium size and very valuable and ten distinctly 

 colored flowers are frequently shown on the bush at one time, varying 

 from cochineal-red in the bud to glowing coppery red tinged with orange, 

 when the flower opens. It is hardy as far north as Connecticut, Price,

 measure 5 inches across and are produced continuously from early June till frost.
