 the class.

 flowering ; one of the best.

 low, tinted orange red, turning pinkish white ;

Wichuriana. Mkvioriax Rose. From Japan; it 

 is a low trailing species, its stems creeping on 

 the earth almost as closely as the Ivy. The 

 flowers are produced in the greatest profu- 

 sion in clusters on the end of every branch, 

 after the June roses are past, from the first 

 week in July throughout the month. They are 

 pure white, II4 to 2 inches across, with yellow 

 stamens, and having a strong fragrance. It is 

 quite hardy, with the exception of the latest 

 immature growth, which may be cut back to 

 some extent. This variety has proved valuable 

 as a covering for banks, rockeries, etc., and for 

 use in cemeteries. 



Wichuriana Rubra, vig. Single, bright scarlet, 

 in large clusters, with orange red stamens. 

 Beautiful and effective. 



William C. Egan, vig. Large, very full, silvery

 its hardiness, strong, rapid growth, healthy foli- 

 age and wealth of beautiful flowers.
