NEW ROSES FOR 1897. 



New Hybrid Tea— SOUVENIR du PRESIDENT CARNOT. 



This new Hybrid Tea Rose ia without question the greatest acquisition of the year, and the finest introduction in 

 this type of Rose for the jjast five years. Its color is similar to that of the well-known favorite, Souvenir de la Malmai- 

 son — rosy flesh shaded white at the edge of the petals. The flowers, which are very large, are produced in the greatest 

 profusion on extra long stems, with handsome heavy foliage. As a forcing variety it has already made its mark, the 

 few flowers that have so far been offered this season having been eagerly sought for at high prices. And besides its good 

 qualities as a forcing rose, trials so far made with it in the open ground would show that it bids fair to rival that best 

 of all open air roses, Maman Cochet; and we have no hesitation in predicting for it a great future, both as a forcing 

 rose and for open air culture. (See cut.) We offer three sizes :

Extra strong 



New Hybrid Tea 

 AUGUSTE riETRAL. 



Buds crimson red, large full 

 flowers, varying from purple 

 to crimson red ; fragrant and 

 very beautiful. Strong young 

 plants, 25 cents each. 



New Tea, 



AUGUST COriTE. 



Color rose-red, outside pe- 

 tals carmine-red, with broad 

 border of a deeper color, and 

 the center salmon-colored 

 rose-ochre. Good young 

 plants, 25 cents each. 



New Hybrid Tea, 

 HARJORIE. 



This is a charming variety, 

 of robust growth, medium 

 size and exquisite form. Color 

 white, suffused with salmon- 

 pink ; flowers full and freely 

 produced throughout the sea- 

 son. An excellent rose, both 

 for garden decoration and ex- 

 hibition purposes. For pot 

 culture and forcing purposes, 

 this is most valuable. Good 

 young plants, 25 cents each.

New Polyantha Rose, 

 MOSELLA.orYELLOW 

 CLOTHILDE SOUPERT 



While not by any means a 

 yellow rose, the general effect 

 of the blending of the colors 

 in this is such as to make it 

 appear as a yellow rose at a 

 short distance. It is probably 

 the finest Polyantha Rose yet 

 introduced, and is a fitting 

 companion to that very popu- 

 lar and useful variety, Clo- 

 thikle Soupert, but to which 

 it is much superior in the 

 shape of the buds and profu- 

 sion of bloom. The habit of 

 the growth is the same, while 

 the flowers are white at the 

 edge and chrome-yellow in 

 the centre. It is perfectly 

 hardy, having withstood in 

 the open ground a tempera- 

 ture of ten degrees below- 

 zero. Good young plants, 20 

 cents each ; seven for $1.00. 



New Climbing Hybrid 



Rose, 



CARMINE PILLAR. 



Splendid new single rose 

 with flowers four to five inches 

 across, of the brightest rosy 

 carmine, and produced so 

 abundantly that the last year's 

 shoots — some ten to twelve 

 feet in length of growth — were 

 covered from base to top with 

 bunches of flowers from each 

 eye. Good young plants, 25 

 cents each. 



RIVOIRE. 



Camellia-formed flowers of clear salmon-rose, with dark 

 yellow at back, edged carmine; superb. Strong young 

 plants, 25 cents each. 



Rose Souvenir du Pres. Carnot. 



New Climbing Noisette Rose — 



ALLISTER STELLA GRAY. 



Deep yellow, resembling W. A. Richardson in color, but 

 much smaller in size ; flowers in clusters, early and late. 

 Strong young plants, 25 cents each. 

 New Hardy Yellow Climbing Rose— YELLOW RAMBLER (Aglaia), 



This new Hybrid Noisette produces its flowers in the same manner as the popular Crimson Rambler— that is, in 

 large pyramidal-shaped trasses, frequently being from fifty to one hundred flowers in a truss. In color it is a decided 

 yellow, with moderate-sized cup-shaped nearly full flowers, which are sweetly scented. Its habit of growth is very 

 strong, frequently making shoots of eight to ten feet in one season. (See cut on page 14.) Good plants, 75 cents each ; 

 $7.50 per dozen. 



Special Offer — We will furnish one good young plant each of the set of ten new Rose introductions for 1897, 

 which includes the superb new Souv. du President Carnot, for $2.50. 



NEW HYBRID WICHURIANA ROSES. 



These pretty hybrids of this most useful Rose are now offered for the first time. They are quite hardy and need no 

 protection whatever in winter, and from their trailing habit are admirablv adapted for covering rockwork or bare spaces 

 as well as planting in the border. They are of very free growth, with foliage of a fine deep green, which lasts until well 

 on in the winter. The flowers are produced in immense quantities, and last a long time in perfection. 

 Altogether very desirable 



Triumph. This variety is of free growth, with fine foliage, 

 double white flowers produced in clusters, sweet scented. 



South Orange Perfection. Dwarf trailing habit, double 

 flowers, blush pink at tips, changing to white. 



Universal Favorite. Soft light pink flower, very fragrant. 



Pink Roamer. Strong grower, with single bright rich pink 

 flowers with almost white centre, orange-red stamens. 



Good young plants (ready March 1st), 60 cents each; $6.00 per doz.; the set of four varieties for $2.00.
