 braces the finest varieties, in- 

 cluding the old established 

 favorites, as well as the best 

 of recent introduction. In- 

 tending purchasers should 

 send for our New Catalogue, 

 containing brief directions for 

 planting, pruning and gen- 

 eral culture. It also contains 

 recipes for the destruction of 

 insects which commonly in- 

 fest Rose .plants. The de- 

 scriptions have been written 

 with great care, and can be 

 relied on as being accurate 

 and trustworthy. 



Special attention is directed 

 to the following 



FOUR EXTRAORDINARY VARIETIES. 



Earl of Dufferin — 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. Budded plants, 

 (see cut.) 75 cents. 



Madame Gabriel Luizet — Pink, distinct, 

 very large, cupped shape ; somewhat 

 fragrant. As an exhibition rose, will 

 rank with its rival. Baroness Rothschild. 

 In England this variety still continues 

 ' to take the lead of all the Hybrid Per- 

 petuals as an exhibition rose. Budded 

 plants. 50 cents. 



Marshall P. Wilder— Raised from Ge7t. 

 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 Colo?nb, but the seed- 

 ling 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 im- 

 proved Alfred Colonib, and as good a rose 

 as has been raised by anyone. It is 

 undoubtedly the finest of its color. 

 Budded and on own roots. 50 

 cents. 



Mrs. John Laing — A seedling from Fran- 

 cois JMichelon ; soft pink ; large and of 

 fine form, produced on strong stems ; 

 exceedingly fragrant ; one of the most 

 valuable varieties for forcing, and flow- 

 ers continuously in the open ground. 

 The most beautiful Rose of recejtt introdtic- 

 tion. Budded plants. (See cut). 75 

 cents.
