THE LA FRANCE QUARTETTE OF EVERBLOOMING ROSES. 
LA FRANCE.—One of the most beautiful and popular of all roses, unequalled by any in its deli- § 
cious perfume. Very large, double, and superbly formed. It is difficult to convey any idea of its beau- 
tiful coloring, but the prevailing color is light rose, shaded silvery peach. 20 cents each, $1.75 per dozen. ff 
DUCHESS OF ALBANY (The Red La France).—I consider this new and handsome rose the fi 
grandest introduction for many years, either as a rose for the garden, or to force for cut flowers in 
winter. The Duchess of Albany is a sport from the well-known La France and retains all the charac- 
teristics of the type, but larger in size, deeper in color, and of more expanded form. The flowers are of 
a deep even pink, deep enough to warrant its title of Red La France. 20 cents each, $1.75 per dozen. 
AUGUSTINE GUINOSEAUX (The White La France).—In growth and style of bloom resembles 
its parent, the old pink La France, in fact it is a stronger grower. The color of the flowers, while not af 
pure white, is of a most delicate blush, shaded lighter at edge of petals. 25 cents. each, $2.00 per dozen. f 
MADAME A. VEYSSET (The Striped La France).—A magnificent new rose, identical in every | 
respect with its parent, the old La France, except in two particulars—it is much stronger in growth, ff 
and the exquisite colorings, satiny pink, striped and shaded white and rose. 25 cts. each, $2.00 per doz.
