MEMORIAL OR EVERGREEN ROSES. 



Rosa Wichuraiana.) 



The type of this group of Roses, Rosa Wichuraiana, is of Japanese origin, 

 and flowers during June and July. This, as well as the varieties that have orig- 

 inated from it, are of a trailing habit of growth, very hardy, and are recom- 

 mended for covering graves; hence one of its names — Memorial Rose — climbing 

 over walls, arbors, stumps of trees or for trailing over rocks or rough ground; 

 in fact, anywhere where a climbing Rose can be used. The foliage is of a 

 leathery texture, of a beautiful shining green, and not only proof against all 

 insects, but is retained on the plants almost the entire winter, making them 

 practically evergreen.

New Baby Rambler Rose EOUIS WALTER, or BABY TAUSENDSCHON. 



Many varieties of Baby Rambler Roses have been introduced since the first of this type, Mme. Norbert Levavasseur, made its 

 appearance, all of them possessing points of merit which made them valuable both as pot plants as well as for bedding purposes, 

 but we are satisfied that in this new variety which we are offering for the first time this season, we have the most important variety 

 of this class on account of its delicate color, which is identical with the climbing variety Tausendschon, a soft shade of pink, which 

 is certain to secure its popularity. The plant is of vigorous habit, but of compact growth, usually from 12 to 15 inches high. The 

 flowers, which are from H to 2 inches in diameter, are produced in trusses of from 10 to 20 flowers each, with remarkable freedom 

 throughout the season. Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
