EVERBLOOMING. 



The Everblooming or Monthly roses belong chiefly 

 to the class known as .Teas. They are admired for 

 their delicacy of color, delightful frag'ance and free- 

 dom of bloom, but require some protection during winter at the North. They come into flower the first 

 season and bloom profusely curing the summer and autumn. A bed of Everblooming Roses will make a 

 delightful spot on the lawn and furnish a fine supply of buds during the whole of the growing season. 

 NEW VARIETIES. 

 Champion of the World.— This is one of 

 the most remarkable roses of its class ever intro- 

 duced, especially so for the piofusion and continu- 

 ity of its bloom. It is truly a perpetual bloomer, 

 never without flowers. It is, moreover, entirely 

 hardy and will stand the winter in the open ground 

 in perfect safety. It Is a native of Vermont.where 

 it has been severely tested in this respect and has 

 always passed through severe winters there per- 

 fectly unscathed. It is a cross between Hermosa 

 and Magna Charta and in size of flower it is often 

 as lar^e as LaFrance or the best of the Hybrid Per- 

 petuals. The flowers are perfectly double to the 

 centre and of the most perfect shape both in bud 

 and when fully opened. Its color is lovely, being 

 a rich, deep, rosy-pink, darker and richer than 

 Hermosa, and it is exceedingly fragrant. 2% in.

Bridesmaid.— A sport from Catherine Mer- 

 met, retaining all the good qualities of that flne 

 variety with the addition of certain charms not 

 possessed by it. The Bridesmaid is of the same 

 exquisite shape and contour of bud, solid and Arm, 

 and the stems are just as long and stiff, but it is in 

 color that it excels the parent, being about two 

 shades deeper, just enough to make it bright, and 

 rendering it the finest pink rose in cultivation. It 

 is a great acquisition. 2% in. pots, ea., 20c; doz.,
