144 ELL W AX GEE & B ABETS

 ding variety. 50c. 



Triomphe de Fernet pere, vig. (Pernet pere, 1S91.) Bright red ; buds long. Small plants. 50c 



IVaban. mod. E. 31. Wood & C<>., 189k) A sport from Catharine Mermet, and resembles it in every respect except in 

 color, which is a rich, bright, clear pink. With some growers this variety has proved a success, while with 

 others it has not done well. It often grows one sided. 50c. 



TThite Bon Silene, vig. (F. Marat, 1883.) A sport from the well known Bon Silene. Of a pearly whiteness, vigorous 

 and free flowering. 50c. 



CLASS V,— HYBRID TEA ROSES. 



(Eosa Indica odorata hybrida.) 



ALL AEE OX OWX ROOTS. 



This is a comparatively new group, flowering as profusely as the Monthly Roses, produced from crossing Teas 

 with Hvbrid Perpetuals : it is yet in an incipient state : within a few years there will, doubtless, be a great many 

 varieties introduced. There has not been opportunity for testing the hardiness of most of the kinds, but they will 

 probably prove quite as robust as the Victor Yerdier race of Remontant Roses. La France, the oldest variety of the 

 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, trig. (Guinoiseau, 1SS9.) Flowers white, slightly tinted with flesh. Sometimes called Wn it e 



La France. Valuable for forcing. 50c.

flowering ; dark rich foliage. 50c. 

 DUCHESS OF ALBA>T. vig. (TV. Paul & Son, 1583.) 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. 50c. 

 LA FRANCE, mod. or free. (GuiUot fits, 1567.) 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 useful 



of all Roses ; none can surpass the delicacy of its coloring. 50c.

Houtte ; plant vigorous with fine foliage ; 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. 50c.

CLASS VI.— POLYANTHA ROSES. 



{Rosa Poly a n tha . ) 



ALL OX OWN ROOTS. 



This is an interesting group from Japan, of comparatively recent introduction. 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 recommended them to all devotees of the Rose. 



Blanche RebnteL owf. (Bernaix, 1589.) Carmine shaded with rose; flowers small, produced in clusters of forty 



to fifty blooms. 50c. 

 CECILE F.KI MNER. mod. (MmcDuelu ,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 



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