The Twelve Fine Ever-Blooming Roses 
Named below we believe are the best possible 
selection to be obtained inthatnumber. Even 
the smallest size of these will bloom abun- 
dantly this season. 
Malmaison. A splendid Rose, ever-bloom- 
ing, and of the richest shade of blush. It 
isnearly as hardy as the Hybrid Perpetual 
Roses, some immense bushes having stood 
out in winter in the New York ceme- 
teries for many years. 
Agrippina. No Montaly Rose surpasses 
thisin profusion of bloom. The 
richest shade of crimson, blos- 
soming the entire season. 
Perle des @ardins. The best 
yellow Tea Rose. Large size, 
fine form, exquisite Tea fra- 
grance, and ever-blooming. 
Hermosa. A clean healthy : 
erower; color, bright pink. Itis grown Jargely in the New York cemeteries 
for its hardiness and continuous blooming. 
Marie Lambert. A pure white Tea Rose; ever-blooming, of large size and 
delicious fragrance. One of the very best Suinmer-blooming Tea Roses. 
Souvenir de Wootton. Thissuperb Rose is unquestionably one of the finest 
varieties ever introduced for either summer or winter blooming. The color 
. isa beautiful shade of crimson, deliciously fragrant, a constant and most pro- 
lific bloomer, every new shoot forming a flower-bud; it retains 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 flor- 
ist togrow. 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. 
Mrs. De Graw. Rich glossy pink; a hardy ever-blooming Rose of surpassing 
merit. It is wonderfully prolific in flowering, and being hardy may well be 
considered one of our finest summer Roses. 
Mad. Hoste. Clear lemon yellow, shading to white. It is a true ‘‘Tea” var- 
iety of delicious fragrance and splendid form. Whether for winter or sum- 
mer flowers this variety cannot be surpassed. 
Niphetos. Pure white, long pointed buds, one of the most beautiful Roses in 
our list. 
Catherine Mermet. The most beautiful of the light pink Roses. Buds long 
and pointed, the ideal form in a Rose, full and double, deliciously fragrant. 
Bon Silene. Brilliant carmine, a strong vigorous grower and very prolific in 
bloom; exquisite Tea fragrance. _ 
Safrano. Color, bright buff, exquisitely fragrant. this is the ideal Tea Rose.
