ROSES. 



WE have for years mafle a specialty of Roses for the garden, and, while we offer a limited list of 

 ihe most promising new varieties, our efforts have been more especially directed to the pro- 

 duction of large, strong, vigorous plants of the standard, well-tried sorts, which, when planted out in 

 the garden of the amateur, would give immediate results. 



That our work in this line has been appreciated is evidenced by the continued increased demand, 

 that of last spring being phenomenal, and as a result many of our customers who ordered 

 Sgl!. late were disappointed, the stock of several varieties being exhausted quite early. 



This season our stock of large plants is greater and better than ever before, and, with 

 increased and improved facilities, we look forward to the coming season in anticipation 

 of being able to serve our patrons better than ever. 



NEW ROSES. 



Rose Queen of Edgely 



or " Pink American 



Beauty." 



New Bedding Rose GRUSS AN TEPEIT^, 



"THE CRIMSON HERMOSA." 



This, the reddest of all red Roses, is to the amateur, who has no greenhouse, and de- 

 pends on his garden for flowers, one of the most important varieties yet introduced. It 

 is a Rose for everybody, succeeding under the most ordinary conditions. In color it is 

 of the richest scarlet, shading to a velvety crimson as the flowers mature ; in size it is 

 larger than Hermosa, very fragrant, a free, strong grower, quite hardy, and a most pro- 

 fuse bloomer, the mass of color produced being phenomenal ; the foliage is extremely 

 beautiful, all the younger growth being of a bronzy plum color. 



This beautiful Rose was illustrated in colors on the cover of our last spring catalogue, 

 and thousands of plants were distributed, and never have we received so many flattering 

 reports as we did from this. 



We offer four sizes, all of which will flower freely this season : 

 Selected size, extra strong 2-year-old plants, in 6-inch pots, 50 cts. each ; $5.00 per doz.

Probably no Rose of recent introduction has attracted more attention than this, 

 and is a cross between Persian Yellow and the hybrid perpetual 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 variety is perfectly 

 hardy, with large, full, globular flowers, varying in color from gold and orange 

 to reddish gold, shaded with nasturtium red, and fills the long vacant place of a 

 good hardy yellow Rose. Strong 2-year-old imported plants, 50 cts. each ; 

 $5.00 per doz. Young plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



New Hardy Everblooming Rose NEW CENTURY. 



An entirely new type, with an iron-clad constitution, resisting all disease and 

 insects ; a cross between Clothilde Soupert and- Rugosa Alba, and flowers at 

 short intervals throughout the summer and fall, and is perfectly hardy. The 

 flowers are from 3 to 4 inches across, full and double, and borne in good clus- 

 ters; the color is bright rosy pink, with rich red centre, each petal margined 

 with creamy white; delightfully fragrant. Extra strong 2-year-old plants, in 6- 

 inch pots, 75 cts. each ; young plants, 25 cts. each. 



New Tea Rose SUNRISE. 



The most gorgeous Tea Rose yet introduced. It has made a sensation, and 

 takes first honors wherever shown. In bud form it is scarlet and yellow. As it 

 opens the colors deepen, 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 have given it a high place among forcing 

 Roses. One-year-old plants, in 4-inch pots, 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per doz. Young 

 plants, 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



New Forcing Rose QUEEN OF EDGELY, OR 



" PINK AMERICAN bEAUTY."

 son. It is an exact counterpart of American Beauty in every particular except 

 color, which is a bright pink somewhat of the shade of Bridesmaid. It has the 

 same vigorous growth, beautiful foliage and fragrance as the parent; the flowers 

 are large and deep, cup-shaped and full, averaging over 5 inches in diameter, 

 and borne on stems often 6 feet long, foliaged to the very flower ; its keeping 

 qualities are excellent, holding for a week or longer after being cut. Strong 2- 

 year-old plants, 50 cts. each ; $5.00 per doz. Young plants, 20 cts. each ; $2.00
