GENERAL CATALOGUE. 



137 



Reiiie Marie Henriette, vig. (A. Levet, 1878.) A seedling from Mme. Berard, fertilized by Gen. Jacqueminot. 

 Flowers large, full; color beautiful cherry-red, a pure shade; flowers somewhat scented. An extra fine climbing 

 variety. 50c. 



SAFKANO, free. (Beaureguard, 1849.) Saffron and apricot, a free bloomer. One of the oldest varieties, and in the 



bud state scarcely to be surpassed. 50c. 

 Sombreuil, vig. {Robert <& Moreau, 1851.) Creamy white, tin tea with rose; very large; quite free from mildew and 



one of the hardiest. A splendid sort for growing out of doors. 50c. 

 SUNSET, mod. (P. Henderson, 1884.) A sport from Perle des Jardins. Identical in every respect with that variety 



except that its color, instead of b-ing a canary yellow, is of a rich tawny shade of saffron and orange, similar but 



deeper than Safrano or Mme. Falcot. In size, vigor and productiveness it is in all respects the same as the variety 



from which it sprung. 50c. 



Suzanne Blanchet, vig. (Nabonuand, 1886.) Rose tinted with flesh color; large and of fine form; very fragrant. 50c. 



CLASS V.— HYBRID TEA ROSES. 



(Bosa Indica odorata hybrida.) 



MOSTLY GROWN IN POTS. 



This is a group, flowering as profusely as the Monthly Roses, produced from crossing Teas with Hybrid Perpetuals, 

 La France, the oldest variety of tbe class, is probably more highly prized by connoiseurs than any other Rose, and 

 though none of the new varieties in this division have proved her equal, there will yet be found, we hope, some worthy 

 companions among them. 



Augustine Guinoiseau, vig. (Guinoiseau, 1889.) Flowers white, slightly tinted with flesh. Sometimes called White 

 La France. Valuable for forcing. On own roots. 50c. 



DUCHESS OF ALBANY, vig. (W. Paul dt Son, 1883.) A sport from the well known and popular La France. While 

 it resembles its parent in several respects, it is quite distinct in color, being of a rich, deep, even pink tint, and the 

 shape is more finished; it is equally vigorous, free blooming and fragrant. One of the most important of recent 

 acquisitions for growing in the open air or for forcing. Budded and on own roots. 50c. 



LA FRANCE, mod. or free. {Guillot-fils, 1867.) Raised from seed of a Tea Rose. Delicate silvery rose, changing to 

 silvery pink; very large, full, of fine globular form; a most constant bloomer. The sweetest and most iseful of all 

 Roses; none can surpass the delicacy of its coloring. Budded and on own roots. 50c. 



Madame Caroline Testout, vig. (Pernet Ditcher, 1S90 ) A beautiful bright, yet clear pink rose, and very much 

 resembles La France, from which it undoubtedly originated. It is of more sturdy habit, however, and exceedingly 

 floriferous, and the individual blooms are often much larger than those of La France. It maintains its beautiful 

 color at all seasons; handsome foliage: stem stout, fragrance very delicate. On own roots. 50c. 



METEOR, vig. (Bennett, 1887.) Rich, dark, velvety crimson, retaining its color well; a constant bloomer; healthy, 

 with no tendency to mildew; admirable for forcing. On own roots. 50c. 



Pink Rover, vig. (W.Paul & Son, 1890.) Flowers very pale pink, deeper in the center, large, full and expanded; 

 exceedingly sweet; buds long, clean and handsome. Of semi-climbing habit. Budded and on own roots. 50c. 



Souvenir of Wootton, vig. (Cook, 1888.) A red Hybrid Tea from seed of Bon Silene fertilized with Louis Van Houtte; 

 plant vigorous with fine foliag6; free blooming; buds of good size, on strong shoots; of a rich red color and 

 extremely fragrant. If the buds were longer, this would be a very valuable variety for forcing. On own roots. 50c. 



CLASS VI.— POLYANTHA ROSES. 



(Bosa Polyantha.) 



ALL ON OWN ROOTS AND GROWN IN POTS. 



This is an interesting group from Japan. The foliage and flowers are both very small, the latter being produced in 

 panicles. The original varieties are non-remontant, but what we offer are crosses or hybrids, natural or artificial, 

 between the single flowered Polyantha and varieties of other classes, Teas, etc. They are ever blooming, of slender 

 growth, produce extremely beautiful little flowers and are quite as hardy as the Hybrid Noisettes and Hybrid Teas. 

 Their character of blossoming in panicled clusters, gives them a distinctive interest, and they are much esteemed. As an 

 edging for a bed of monthly roses they are very effective and useful. We are greatly pleased with them, and strongly 

 recommend them to all devotees of the Rose. 



CECILE BRUNNER, mod' (Mme. Ducher, 1880.) A hybrid from Polyantha simplex fertilized by a Tea. Salmon 

 pink, with deep salmon center; very small, full, delicately scented; admirable in bud and open flower. An exquis- 

 ite miniature rose for floral work. Highly commended. 50c. 



CLOTHILDE SOUPERT, vig. (Soupert & Notting, 1890.) Medium size; very double and beautifully imbricated like 

 an aster; produced in clusters; pearly white, with rosy lake centers, liable to vary, producing often red and white 

 flowers on same plant. Valuable for florists for designs, or as a market pot plant, being a remarkably free and 

 constant bloomer, and of easy culture. One of the most valuable roses of recent introduction. (See cut.) 25c. 



Etoile <l'Or, dwf. (Dubreuil, 18S9.) Flowers medium size; citron yellow in the center, shading to pale chrome yellow; 

 very free flowering and pretty. An acquisition. 50c. 



Little Pet, vig. Small white flowers ; very free flowering. 50c. 



PAQUERETTE, free. (Guillot, 1875.) This is the oldest of the white varieties. Pure white, about one inch in diame- 

 ter, flowering in panicles cf from five to forty blooms, full, prettily formed, recalling blossoms of the double flower- 

 ing cherry. In flower continuously from June to November. A rose for the million. 50c.
