NEW BEDDING ROSE, 



GRUSS AN TEPEITZ, 



"The Crimson Herinosa." 



{Slioiun in colors on the fi ont cover of this Catalogue ) 

 I'his, the reddest of all red Roses, is faithfully shown in colors on the front 

 cover of this Catalogue, and is to the amateur who has no greenhouse and 

 depends on his garden for flowers one of the most important varieties yet intro- 

 duced. It is a Rose for everybody, succeeding under the most ordinary condi- 

 tions, and is destined to take rank wiih such old-time favorites as Hermosa, 

 Malraaison, Soupert, etc. In color it is of the richest scarlet imaginable, shad- 

 ing to a velvety crimson as the flowers mature ; in size it is largar than Her- 

 mosa, very fragrant, a free, strong grower, quite hardy, and the most profuse 

 bloomer known to us, the mass of color produced being truly phenomenal ; the 

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

 color. A limited number of this variety was distributed by us last year, and we 

 have received many flattering reports from purchasers of the same. We offer 

 four sizes, all of which will flower freely this season.

NEW TEA ROSE "IVORY." 



A most important addition to our list of Roses for cut flower purposes. It is a 

 " .sport" from Golden Gate, which to-day is probably ihe freest-flowering Rose of 

 its type in cultivation, but which unfortunately lacks in decided color, on which 

 account it has never met with much popularity. The variety now off'ered em- 

 bodies all of the good points of its parent, size, freedom of bloom, strong, vigor- 

 • ous, healthy growth, with a pure white color, which makes it 

 acquisition, and a Rose which must at once meet with popular 

 been shown during the past season at the principal exhibilions, 

 at all of which it was awarded high honors. (See cut.) 



We offer for delivery April 1st strong young plants from 2\- 

 inch pots, 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per doz.; $18.00 per 100.

New Hardy Rose SOEEIE D'OR. 



(Peruetiana.) 



This is the first of a new race of Roses styled " Pernetiana." 

 It is a cross between the Persian Yellow and the hybrid per- 

 petual Antoine Ducher. It retains considerable of the character 

 of Persian Yellow, the bark of the wood being reddish, the 

 thorns very fine; the foliage more ample, of a beautiful green 

 and close together ; like Persian Yellow this varieiy is 

 perfectly hardy, with large, full, globular flowers, varying 

 in color from gold and orange to reddish gold, shaded 

 with nasturtium red. We offer large imported plants, 

 only $1.00 each. 



New Rambler Rose PSYCHE. 



Received an award of merit from the Royal Horticul- 

 tural Society of England. A cross between Crimson 

 Rambler and the polyantha Rose Golden Fairy. In 

 growth and habit it much resembles the Rambler. The 

 flowers are produced in clusters of from 8 to 35, and are 2 to 

 2.V inches across when expanded. The color is white suf- 

 fused wilh salmon-rose, and pink with yellow base to the 

 jietals. A real companion to Crimson Rambler. Strong 

 2-year-old plants, 50 cts. each ; young plants, 15 cts. each. 



New Tea Rose SUNRISE. 



The most gorgeous Rose of its class yet introduced. It 

 has made a sensation in England and taken first honors 

 wherever shown. In bud form it shows the high, brilliant 

 colors seen only in the Austrian copper, scarlet and yellow. 

 As it opens the color deepens, the scarlet turning darker 

 red, the yellow to orange and copper, the inside of the 

 petals golden yellow. The open flower is large, perfectly 

 double and of grand form ; the foliage is glossy and thick, 

 the new growths being the darkest and most beautiful of all 

 Roses. The form and color of bud, freedom and growth 

 of bloom, will give Sunrise a high place among forcing 

 Roses. Strong young plants, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



New^ Hybrid Tea Rose 



BAEDUIN (Helen Gould). 



An excellent bedding variety, with large full flowersof 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 young plants, 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz.
