EARL OF DUFFER 



One of the finest roses of recent years. Rich, brilliant, velvety crimson, 

 shaded with dark maroon ; large, full, finely formed ; delightful fragrance. A 

 vigorous grower. One of the finest dark roses. It should be in every collection. 



AAARSHALL P. WILDER. 



Raised from Gen. Jacqueminot. It is of vigorous-growth, with healthy 

 foliage ; flowers large, semi-globular, full, well formed ; color, beautiful cherry- 

 carmine; very fragrant. In wood, foliage, and form of flower it resembles 

 Alfred Colomb, but the seedling excels that famous variety in vigor, hardiness 

 and freedom of bloom. It continues to bloom profusely long after the other 

 Remontants are out of flower. In brief, it may be described as an improved 

 Alfred Colomb, and as good a rose as has been raised by anyone. It is undoubt- 

 edly the finest of its color. 



MRS. JOHN LAING. 



A seedling from Francois Michclon j soft pink ; large and of fine form ; pro- 

 duced on strong stems ; exceedingly fragrant ; one of the most valuable 

 varieties for forcing, and flowers continuously in the open ground. The most 

 beautiful Rose of recent introduction.
