WE have for years made a specialty of Roses for the garden, and, while we offer a limited list of the most promising new varie- 

 ties, our efforts have been more especially directed tn the production of large, strong, vigorous plants of the standard, well- 

 tried sorts, which, when planted out in the garden of the amateur, would give immediate results. That our efforts in this line are 

 appreciated is evidenced not only in a continued increased demand, but also by hundreds of complimentary letters received 



expressing satisfaction of the stock which we supply. 



We have this season prepared a larger number of plants than 

 ever before, and we look forward to being able to serve our cus- 

 tomers better than ever. 



NEW AND RARE ROSES. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose KILLARNEY. 



One of Dickson's Irish Ruses which, on account of its many good 

 qualities, is certain to become a geneial favorite. It has had a 

 very thorough trial in this country, and all agree that both as a 

 Rose for outdoors or for growing under glass that it hns a l.irilliant 

 future. It is of strong, robust growth, and is as free-flowering as 

 any Rose we know of. In color it is a sj.aikliiig, brilliant pink. 

 The blooms are large, tlie buds long and pointed, petals very large 

 and of great substance; altogether a Rose ol unusual excellence. 

 We offer a limited lot of strong imported Irish-grown plants. 75 

 cts. each ; 5)7.50 per doz. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose BALDUIN (Helen Gould). 



An excellent bedding variety, with laige, lull flowers of fine form, 

 of bright, glowing carmine; the bud is long and pointed and as 

 sweet as a June Rose. A free and continuous bloomer. Strong 

 2-year-old plants, 40 cts. each ; $4.00 per doz. Young plants, 

 1^ cts. each ; $1 50 per doz. 



New Bedding Rose 



GRUSS AN TEPLHZ Crhnson Hermosa,. 



This, the reddest of all the red Roses, is to the .nmateur, who has no 

 greenhouse, and depends on his garden for flowers, one of the must im- 

 portant varieties yet introduced. It is a Rose for everybody, succeeding 

 under the most ordinary conditions. In color it is of the richest scarlet, 

 shading to a velvety crimson as the flowers mature ; in' size it is larger 

 than Hermosa, very fragrant, a free, strong grower, quite hardy, and a 

 most profuse bloomer, the mass of color produced being phenomenal ; 

 the foliage is extremely beautiful, all the younger growth being of a 

 bronzy plum color. We offer three sizes, all of which will flower freely 

 this season :

New Hardy Rose SOL El L D'OR (Golden Sun). 



Probably no Rose of recent introduction has attracted more attention 

 than this. It is the first of a new race, styled " Pernetiana," and is a 

 cross between Persian Yellow and the hybrid perpetual Antoine Ducher. 

 It retains considerable of the character of Persian Yellow, the bark of the 

 wood being reddish, the tliorns very fine, the foliage more ample, of a beau- 

 tiful green and close together; like Persian Yellow this variety is perfectly 

 hardy, with laige, full, globular flowers, varying in color from gold and 

 orange to reddish gold, shaded with nasturtium-red, and fills the long vacant 

 place of a good hardy yellow Rose. Strong 2 year-old imported plants, 50 

 cts. each; $5.00 per doz Young plants, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose IDEAL. 



A " sport " from the favorite La France, which it closely resembles in 

 every way except color, which is a liright deep pink, that does not become 

 "washed out" even under the most unfavorable conditions. The plant is a 

 strong, vigorous grower, very free-flowering, flowers of good size and deli- 

 ciously scented, and we believe it will become even more popular th.in its 

 famous parent both as a forcing variety under glass as well as for the open 

 ground. An ideal Rose in every way. 



Extra strong 2-year-old plants in 6-inch pots, 75 cts. each ; $7 50 per doz.

New Hybrid Tea Rose FRANZ DEEQEN. 



A deep yellow Rose, which would flower continuously either under glass 

 or all summer in the open ground; has been a desiderata for a long time, 

 and we believe is fully covered by this seedling of Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria, which is one of the best of all white Roses, and whose strong 

 growth and free-flowering habit seem to have been fully perpetuated in this 

 offspring, which in color is a rich yellow shading to a deep orange in the 

 centre. 



Good 1-year-old plants in 4-inch pots, 30 cts. each ; $3 00 per doz. Rose Gruss an Teplitz.
