 duced in 1893.

 It IS of vigorous growth, niakinij shoots from eight to ten feet in lieight during a sea- 

 son, and is consequently a most desirable climbing variety; when pegged down or grown as a 

 bush, ruarveIlo\is liends of bloom are tlie result. It is exceedingly liardy. As a pot-plant it is 

 unequalled for decorative purjjoses. 



The flowers with which the plant i^ covered in the Spring are produced in large trusses 

 of pj-ramidal form and of the bj'ightest crimson color. The blooms remain on the plant for a 

 great length of time without losing their brightness. The foliage is also retained to a great 

 extent during winter, making the plant almost an evergreen. Price, 35c. each ; 3 for SI. 00.

 each ; 4 for 50c. 



CLIMBING PERLE DES JAKDINS. A sport from the well-known favorite, Perle 

 des Jardins, and a rose that will be of permanent value either for growing in-doors or in the 

 open ground. The flowers are produced in profusion, and are deep canary-yellow. The buds 

 and flowers are much larger than the jjireiit variety. 15c. each ; 4 for 50c. 



CLIMBING HERMOSA. Clear, bright pink flowers, medium size and fragrant, a 

 strong grower and free bloomer. One of the most popular of all climbing roses; because

HARDY PERPETUAL ROSES. 



AMERICAN BEAUTY. This variety has been rightly 

 described an ever-blooming Hj'brid Perpetual. The flowers 

 are very large, of beautiful form and very double ; color a 

 deep, rich rose. The fragrance is delightful, resembling La 

 France or the old-fashioned Damask Rose. It is truly an 

 ever-bloomer, each shoot producing a bud. 



LA FRANCE. We cannot speak too highly of this 

 superb rose, which every year becomes more popular. Flow- 

 ers large and beautiful, either in the bud form or when ex- 

 panded ; peach blossom color, shaded pink and silvery rose. 

 It is very free blooming, every shoot forming a beautiful 

 flower. 



MRS. JOHN LAING. This is, we believe, the finest 

 hardy rose of its color ever offered. It is an exquisite shade 

 of shell-like pink, deliciously fragrant, of the largest size, 

 and, like the Dinsmore, is entirely hardy and ever-blooming. 



GENERAL JACQUEMINOT. Rich velvety crimson, 

 changing to scarlet crimson. A magnificent rose, equally 

 beautiful in the bud state or open. This is the best known 

 of all Hybrid Perpetuals, and is without a rival in fragrance 

 and richness of color.

 mine; a beautiful rose ; strong, vigorous grower.

 fectly hardy, and bearing large perfectly double flowers of a

 very large, double, fragrant flowers ; a strong grower.

 hardy rose, flowers about five inches in diameter and of an 

 exquisite shade of satiny pink. The heavy foliage comes 

 close up to the flower, forming an effective background of 

 green. 



GLOIRE DE MARGOTTIN. Dazzling red, the mo^t 

 brilliant yet known ; large, full, finely formed globular flow- 

 ers: growth very vigorous; one of the most distinct hardy 

 garden ro.'^es in cultivation, and can lie especially recom- 

 mended for its freedom of blooming and hardiness.

 form sturdy bushes three to five feet in height, covered with 

 handsome, glossy green foliage, and clusters of beautiful 

 single flowers. They bloom nearly the whole summer, and are
