ROSES 



Since the introduction of the Crimson Ram- 

 bler, in 1894, this class of Roses has continued 

 to gain popularity. Many splendid new varie. 

 ties, both in single and double-flowering forms, 

 have been added during the past few years. 

 The best and most distinct of these we offer on 

 this and following page. 



AMERICAN PIEEAR. 



A new single-flowering variety of great beauty, which appeals to everyone. The 

 flowers are of enormous size, three to four inches across, of a lovely shade of pink 



with a cluster of yellow 

 stamens. These flowers

are borne in immense 

 clusters, and a large 

 plant in full bloom is a 

 sight not easily forgot- 

 ten. They last in per- 

 fection a long time, and .are followed by 

 brilliant r ed hips or berries, which are 

 carried late into the winter; and as the 

 plant frequently retains its lovely green 

 foliage until the end of November, it 

 forms a beautiful decorative subject 

 throughout the autumn months. Strong 

 two-year-old plants, 75cts. each; $7.50 

 per doz. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY. 



A new Rose of great merit. A cross between American Beauty and an 

 unnamed seedling; color a rosy crimson, identical with its popular 

 parent, and with the same exquisite fragrance, a quality rarely found 

 in climbing Roses. The plant is of strong habit of growth, making 

 shoots from ten to fifteen feet in one season, and as hardy as an oak. 

 The flowers are from three to four inches in diameter, of fine form, on 

 long stems, and are produced in great profusion, not only in May and 

 June, but there is a fair sprinkling of flowers throughout the growing 

 season. We offer strong five-inch pots, $2.00 each. 



CHRISTINE WRIGHT. 



A most exquisite new Rose, a cross between Caroline Testout and 

 an unnamed seedling; it is of strong climbing habit, with large, heavy, 

 dark green foliage, which is immune to disease of all kinds. The 

 flowers are double, from 3J to 4 inches in diameter, borne singly and 

 in clusters on long stems, of perfect form, beautiful in the bud and in 

 the fully expanded flower; in color a most refreshing bright wild-rose 

 pink; it flowers profusely during June, and continues more or less 

 throughout the season. We consider this a grand acquisition. A Rose 

 that will please all. Strong plants in five-inch pots, $1.00 each. 



DELIGHT. 



A most effective new single Rambler, with flowers borne in large 

 clusters. These hang in graceful form, a truss being produced from 

 almost every shoot. In color it is a bright carmine, the base of the 

 petals white, with the centre filled with yellow stamens; a most harmo- 

 nious color combination, which is intensified by the rich, glossy foliage. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, $1 00 each.
