CHINESE OR BENGAL ROSES. 



An old favorite type which is as beautiful and sweet now 

 as it was in the gardens of half a century ago, and which 

 deserves as great a popularity to-day as it had in years 

 past. Compared with other Roses the flowers as well as 

 the growth are small; but where an abundance of flowers is 

 ' wanted they are unequalled, especially so as they will flourish 

 under soil and climatic conditions in which the high-bred 

 varieties will not thrive; splendid for massing, and hardy 

 with slight protection. 



Alsterufer. A brilliant crimson scarlet of perfect form; 

 a splendid free-flowering bidder. 



Charlotte Klemm. Fiery red, shaded with cin- 



■ v nabar and blood red, semi-double, of medium 



size and of great brilliancy of color. 



-^jta^ Comtesse de Cayla. Very distinct and rich 



*~/ in coloring, coppery carmine shaded with 



j/ orange and yellow.

 double pink, always in bloom. 

 Queen Mab. Soft rosy apricot, the centre of the flowers 



shaded orange, the outside tinted with violet and rose. 

 Queen's Scarlet, or Agrippina. Bright crimson-scar- 

 let, very free; an old favorite.
