NEW AND SCARCE ROSES. 





r T is ii i,.r, asary to 

 say anything to my 

 old customers in re- 

 gard to ihe superior 

 excellence of Maule's 

 Flowering Plants : but 

 to the many new readers, 

 who will receive this 

 Catalogue this year for 

 the first time, I need only 

 say that Maiile's PJants are 

 just as reliable as Maule's 

 Seeds. More cannot be said, for 

 better Seeds than Maule's were never 

 sold, and STRONGER, HEALTHIER 

 PLANTS THAN I PROPOSE TO 

 SEND MY CUSTOMERS THE COMING 

 SEASON CANNOT BE PROCURED FROM 

 ANYONE. :>uch is the general verdict of all who have 

 tried them, and I know that yon will rhake the same 

 report, should you decide to favor me with your\order 

 the coming season. 



I invite your 

 particular atten- 

 tion to the following list of new and choice Roses, it is a well-known fact that 

 from year to yea"r u »arge number of new varieties are forced upon the market, 

 many of which are either absolutely worthless or have no distinguishing feature 

 from the old and tried sorts, while this is true, it is also a fact that for many 

 years I have had now and then most valuable acquisitions that have stood the 

 test of trial and criticism. In selecting the following list I have aimed to select 

 the cream of the newer sorts, which I offer at verv low rates 

 considering their very choice character. 



AMERICAN BEACTY — This grand rose is a seedline, round in the 

 gardens of Mr. Bancroft, the historian, at Washington, D. C.,- who has perhaps 

 the finest collection of roses in this country. In " American Beauty" I have 

 for the first time a rose of large size, having the ever-blooming qualities of the 

 Tea Rose with the delicious odor of the Damask or Moss Rose, consequently 

 equally valuable for Winter or Summer flowering. In color it is a deep brilliant 

 pink, shaded toward the centre with rich carmine. Price. 40 cents each. 



THE BRIDE.— The Bride is a pure white rose of large size and most 

 perfect form. The buds are pointed and the ends of the petals are slightly 

 curved back, giving it a most ohast ■ and elegant appearance. A free-flowering 

 rose, either for summer or winter. Price, 30 cents each. 



SUSANNE BLANCHET.— A beautiful rose : the outer petals a clear 

 flesh white, with a deep flesh centre ; perfection itself in color and shape : outer 

 petals are large and broad, with sh< >rt inner petals. It is an erect grower ; foliage 

 immense, with beautiful leafage. Sure to become a favorite when better known. 

 Price, 25 cents each. 



PURITAN. — A fine variety, color pure white, perfectly formed. It is of 

 robust habit and a profuse bloomer ; fragrance, deliciously sweet ; being some- 

 what suggestive of the Magnolia. Its leaves are of a rich emerald green, 

 adding more beautv to the pure white flowers above. Price, 40 cents each. 



SOUV. DE VICTOR HUGO Bright China Rose, with copper yellow 



centre, ends of petals suffused with carmine. A charmingly beautiful combina- 

 tional coloring, each color blending nicely with the other. This variety will 

 take rank with the best. Price, 40 cent* each. 



PAPA GONTIER.— F.ne foliage, exceedingly free-flowering, very sweet ; 

 being free from mildew and keeping double, it is one of tin' besl Summer coses 

 for cut flowers, and surpasses Bon Sliene tor Winter forcing; The blooms are 

 long, with thick, broad petals of a dark carmine crimson. The inner petals are 

 a bright rosy carmine. Price. 80 cents each. 



MME. ETIENNE — A beautiful new Tea Rose, in color a tine clear pink ; 

 the petals recurving, much resembling a f'umellia in shape. Texture is heavy, 

 and the color is a warm, yet delicate pink, a shade deeper on the edge of | 

 It is a free bloomer and in everv way desirable. Price, SO cents each. 



MME. JOS. SCHWARTZ.— A profuse bloomer, producing its beautiful 

 medium-sized flowers in clusters. Color, white, flushed with pink. A vigorous
