TWO NE^V BABY 

 ROSHS. 



MEMORIAI. OR EYBRGREBN ROSBS. 



(Rosa Wichuraiana.) 



The type of this group of Roses, Ji'isa Wicliiiraiuna, is of Japanese origin, 

 and flowers during June and July. Tl'.is, 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. 

 Evergreen Gem. Flowers buff, changing to creamy white, very double, 



foliage dense, of rich bronzy-green. 

 Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, opening double flowers of a cream color, in 



curving towards evening to the .shape and of the color of a Cape Jessamine; 



hence its name. 

 Pink Roamer. Strong grower, with clusters of single, bright, rich pinl 



flowers and almost white centre; orange-red stamens. 

 South Orange Perfection. Dwarf, trailing haliit, double flowers, blush 



pink .it ti[)s, changing to white. 

 Triumph. Double white flowers, produced in clusters; sweet-scented. 

 Universal Favorite. Flowers very double, of a pretty rose color. 

 Wichuraiana. Beautiful fragrant single pure white flowers, with yellow 



st.imens, followed in fall with bright red berries. 



Strong two year-old plants 30 cts. each; $.3.00 per doz. ; S!20.00 per 100 

 Set of 7 sorts, $2.00. 



RAMBLER 



The two varieties otTered below are wonderful advances in 

 tliis popular miniature type, producing their flowers in immense 

 trusses, rather more gracefully arranged than in the original 

 types, and the individual flowers last in perfection a long time. 

 Both varieties are very free- flowering. 

 Jessie. Bright cherry-red with white centre. 

 The Orleans. Brilliant geranium-red, becoming suff'used with 



rose as the flowers mature, and large while centre; a pretty 



color combination. 

 Either variety, in strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; 

 $.5.00 i)er doz.; $3o.00 per 100. 



BABV RA^IBLER AND 



POEYANTHA ROSES. 



A type of Roses which is very popular for bedding pur])Oses. 

 They form shapely, compact, bushy specimens about 18 inches 

 high, producing in great profusion from early in the season until 

 severe frost immense trusses of small flowers. 



Crimson Baby Rambler {Mine. Xorhert Levavasiteur). 



Crimson flowers similar to the popular Climbing Rambler. 

 Cerise=pink Baby Rambler {Mrs. Culbush). Identical 



in color to the beautiful Lady Gay Rambler; always in 



flower. 



Pink Baby Rambler {Ancken Mdller). Large clusters 

 of brilliant ro.se flowers; the edges of the petals are wavy, 

 giving it a peculiarly graceful form. 



White Baby Rambler {Katherina Zeimet). Pure white 

 flowers, showing the yellow stamens very prettily. 



Clothilde Soupert. One of the*freest-flowering Roses, pro- 

 ducing in clusters beautiful perfectly double flowers of a 

 French-white, deepening to rosy-blush in the centre; de- 

 servedly popular. 



Strong 2-year-old plants, 40 cents each; $4.00 per doz.; $30.00 

 per 100. Set of 5 for $1.75. 



NE'W FANCY POEYANTHA ROSE 

 EEONIE EAMESCH. 



Entirely distinct from all oilier varieties on account of the 

 peculiar combination of colors, which is al once attractive and 

 pleasing. The ground color is a lively rose, shading deeper 

 towards the edges, each petal being tipped or blotched with blood- 

 red; the base of the petals is of varying shades of yellow, which 

 color also extends as a sutTusion throughout the flower, giving the 

 whole a peculiarly fancy, mottled appearance; the flowers are 

 about 2 inches in diameter, and are produced in trusses of from 

 6 to 15 flowers throughout the summer. A very novel and attrac- 

 tive Rose. .Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.
