MEMORIAL OR

The type of this group of l\o>es, li'isit Wirlnirniiiiin, is of 

 Japanese origin, and flowers during June and July. This, as 

 well as the varieties that have originated from it, are of a trailing 

 habit of growth, very hardy, and are recommended for covering 

 graves; hence one of its names — Memorial Rose — climbing over 

 walls, arbors, stumps of trees or for trailing over rocks or rough 

 ground; in fact, anywhere where a climbing or trailing Rose 

 can be used. The foliage is of a leathery texture, of a beautiful 

 shining green, and not only proof against all insects, but is re- 

 tained on the plants almost the entire winter, making them 

 practically evergreen.

EORD PENZANCE'S HYBRID 



SWEET BRIERS. 



A correspondent of "Gardening" says of this class: "My collection of these 

 beautiful hybrid Roses bloomed finely this season. The flowers are large and 

 clear in color, and single or semi-double. In the part of my grounds where 

 they are grown the atmosphere was heavy with the delicious scent of the .Sweet 

 Briars. They are strong, vigorous growers, throwing long, graceful branches 

 which are wreathed with flowers. On no account should they be pruned be- 

 yond removing whatever branches are undesirable to keep. If pruned back 

 like ordinary Roses, they produce very few blossoms. Give each plant a 4 to 

 G foot long stake and tie up some of the leading shoots to it. 

 Anne of Oerstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 

 Brenda. Maiden's blush or peach, dainty in color and shade; the eflect of 



th'- yolden anthers adds a peculiar charm. 

 Lady Penzance. Beautiful soft tint of copper, with a metallic lustre; very 



free-flowering, with a delicious perfume from foliage and flower. 

 Lord Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or ecru, jiassing to a lovely lemon- 



vellow in tlie centre, sometimes toned with a most delicate pink. 

 Meg Merrilles. Gorgeous crimson, very free-flowering. 

 Refulgence. Semi-double flowers, 31 inches across; on first opening a dazzling 



scarlet, changing to bright crimson as they develop.

 tine. The single pink flowers are quite artistic, but it is valued most on ac- 

 count of the fragrance of its leaves. 40 cts. each; $4 00 per doz. 

 Price. Except where noted, in extra strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. 

 each; $5.00 per doz. Set of 7 sorts, §2.75. 



NEW PERNETIANA ROSES, 



or Hybrid Austriau Briers. 



A new type of Roses, the result of crossing Austrian Copper and Yellow 

 Brier Roses with various other types; all are of strong, vigorous growth, flow- 

 ering profusely in early summer and producing some bloom during the late 

 summer and fall.
