 ever, Mbs. Deokaw 

 performs her mission- 

 ary work, and we rely 

 upon this almost un- 

 known variety for the 

 bulk of our Roses be-

 In "American Flor-

"Papa Gontier." 



This is one of the most fashion- 

 able of our winter-flowering Roses, 

 but is equally useful for summer 

 bedding. Color, a glowing carmine

a Valuable iIeW^e, 



" Climbing Perle des Jardins." 



A grand new. Rose of American 

 origin which we take pleasure in 

 offering to our customers, believing 

 that it will give satisfaction to 

 every purchaser. It is a "sport" 

 from " Perle des Jardins, " that 

 fine variety which furnished the 

 "Sunset" Rose introduced by us 

 a few years ago, and now it has 

 produced this grand climbing 



! variety, which is also ever-bloom- 

 ng. In this new sort we have all 

 the good qualities which made its 

 parent famous, viz., strong, healthy 

 constitution, freedom of bloom, and 

 the delightfully fragrant deep yel- 

 low flowers familiar to every lover 

 of choice Roses. When to these excellent traits we add 

 that the new ' * Climbing Perle " is a most rampant running 

 Rose some idea of its great value may be had. For the 

 South it will be particularly valuable, as it is entirely 

 hardy there, while for a pillar Rose in the conservatory 

 it will be invaluable. Even the smallest size will make 

 .fine plants this season.

and when our attention was called 

 to the grand variety shown in the 

 accompanying engraving, we at 

 once took steps to procure it 

 Following our usual practice we 

 gave it a thorough trial before 

 offering it, and we are glad to 

 say that it has fully justified the 

 high opinion formed of it when first 

 seen by us. It is with the greatest 

 pleasure, therefore, we announce 

 to our customers that we can confidently recommend it as being ENTIRELY 

 HARDY, equaling the tender sorts in profusion of bloom. From early sum- 

 mer until frost it may be depended upon to produce flowers in abundance. 

 In color it is a rich glossy pink, delightfully fragrant, and is such a strong, 

 vigorous grower that it is almost impregnable against attacks of the insect* 

 which usually destroy some of our finest Roses ; thus it is certain to be un- 

 equaled for the garden or cemetery. This superb variety was raised by Mr. 

 Wm.Burgess some years ago, but remained almost unknown until we brought 

 its merits before the public. Read what that excellent authority, Mr. Wm. 

 Falconer, says about it in a letter to the " American Florist," an extract from 

 which we print in the upper left-hand corner of the engraving. The sketch 

 was made from nature by our own artist, and shows the wonderfully proline 

 blooming qualities of this grand Rose. Every shoot is loaded with flowers 

 as shown. Note our price for this season.

CLIMBING PERLE DES JARDINS. 



R Fine Climbing Rose, 



« Climbing: Niplietos." 



A sport from the dwarf " Nlphetos." It is a true climbing variety, having 

 the same pure white, long pointed buds as its parent, and is destined to 

 become popular as an out-door climbing Rose— in the South especially— 

 where it is perfectly hardy. Introduced at the same time as the climbing 

 variety described above, they constitute two of the most valuable Roses in 

 their class, and should be planted side by side wherever fine climbing 

 Roses are wanted.
