ELLWANGER BARRY'S 



AUSTRIAN OR YELLOW ROSES-Continued 



Persian Yellow, free. (Willock, 1830.) Bright yellow, small, nearly full. It is desirable to grow 

 more than one plant, and by pruning one this year in the usual way, and the other plant the next 

 year, annual crops of flowers may be had. 50c. 



Soleil d'Or, viff. (Fernet Ducher, 1900.) Large, full and globular, fragrant; buds conical shaped; 

 color varying from gold and orange yellow to reddish-gold, shaded with nasturtium red. $1.00. 



CLASS III.-MOSS ROSES 



This is a favorite class with everj-one, on account of the beautiful buds, which, for bouquets and cut flowers, are 

 invaluable. 



They are subject, as a class, to mildew, and require close pruning and high culture. They amply repay careful atten- 

 tion by the increased size and beauty of the flowers. They are all very hardy. The foliage is generally somewhat crimpled, 

 and has mostly seven leaflets. 



The charm of a Moss Rose is the bud. Such kinds as the Common, Gracilis, and Crested, with graceful buds, are 

 especially recommended. 



Blanche Moreau, W<7. (Moreau -Robert, 1880.) Pure white, large, full, and of perfect form; the buds 

 and flowers produced in clusters and freely furnished with a deep green moss. A valuable 

 variety. 50c. 



Common Moss, /ree. Pale rose; very beautiful buds ; a great favorite. 50c. 

 Comtesse de Murinais, vig. ( Vihert, 184.3.) White, tinged with flesh. 50c. 



Crested Moss, {Vihert, 1827.) Deep pink colored buds, surroimded with a mossy fringe and 



crest; free from mildew. A fragrant, very beautiful rose. 50c. 

 Crimson Globe. (W. Paul ^ Son, 1891.) Large, full, deep crimson, perfectly globular. A fine 



variety. 50c. 



Gracilis, /r^e. Deep pink buds, surrounded with delicate fringe-like moss. The most beautiful of all 

 the Moss Roses. 50c. 



Princess Adelaide, tng. {Laffay, 1845.) Pale rose, of medium size and good form; foliage often 



blotched or variegated. Good in bud and flower. Do not prune this variety severely. 50c. 

 S^Aet, free or vig . (Lacharme, ISoi.) Light rose, large, full, pretty in bud. 50c. 



White Bath, mod. {Salter, 181T.) White, sometimes tinged with flesh; attractive in bud and open 

 flower. The best White Moss. 50c. 



CLASS IV.— LORD PENZANCE'S HYBRID SWEET BRIARS 



Vig. {Lord Penzance, 1894 and 1895.) 



Apart from their extreme beauty they are most interesting, being crosses between common Sweet Briar and various 

 other roses. Like their parent, the common Sweet Briar, the foliage is deliciously scented. The flowers are single and of 

 beautiful tints.
