HYBRID SWEET BRIERS. 



A correspondent of "Gardening" says of this class: "My collection of these beautiful hybrid Roses bloomed finely this season. 

 The flowers are large and clear in color, and single or semi-double. In the part of my grounds where they are grown the atmos- 

 phere was heavy with the delicious scent of the Sweet Briers. They are strong, vigorous growers, throwing long, graceful branches 



which are wreathed with flowers. These lovely hybrids are crosses be- 

 tween the common Sweet Brier and various other Roses, and like their 

 parents, the foliage is deliciously scented. The flowers are of the most 

 beautiful tints, and produced in great profusion, and the plants are per- 

 fectly hardy, and possess a robust vigor which is quite astonishing. On no 

 account should they be pruned beyond removing whatever branches are 

 undesirable to keep. If pruned back like ordinary Roses, they produce 

 very few blossoms Give each plant a 4 to 6 foot long stake and tie up 

 some of the leading shoots to il. These Briers are seen to best advantage 

 when isolated on the lawn, or if grouped set far enough apart to allow of 

 each plant having unrestricted freedom and its branches to hang gracefully 

 and naturally. 



Anne of Gerstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 



Brenda. Maiden's blush or peach, dainty in color and shade; the effect 

 of the golden anthers adds a peculiar charm. 



Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper, with a metallic lustre; 

 the base of each petal is a bright yellow, which, showing through the 

 golden anthers, forms a halo round them; very free-flowering, with a 

 delicious perfume from foliage and flower. 



Lord Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or ecru, passing to a lovely lemon- 

 yellow in the centre, sometimes toned with a most delicate pink; a good 

 grower and abundant bloomer, very sweet-scented. 



Meg Merrilies. Gorgeous crimson, very free-flowering, wonderfully 

 robust habit, large foliage; one of the best. 



Refulgence. Semi-double flowers, 3J inches across; on first opening a 

 dazzling scarlet, changing to bright crimson as they develop, intensified 

 by the golden stamens. 



Common Sweet Brier. This is the true English Sweet Brier, or Eg- 

 lantine. The single pink flowers are quite artistic, but it is valued most 

 on account of the refreshing fragrance of its leaves. 40 cts. each; $4.00 

 per doz. 



Price. Except where noted, in extra strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. 

 each; $5.00 per doz. Set of 7 sorts, $2.75.
