 rosv pink single flowers, slightly paler in the center and showing the yellow stamens. A strong 

 grower. $1.00.

 when half open the flowers are tinged with yellow, slightly fragrant. Plant vigorous and free- 

 blooming ; hardy, very pretty and desirable. 50c. 



PRAIRIE ROSES 



These are among the most valuable of climbers. The foliage is rough, large, with five leaflets generally of a dark color : 

 for rapidity of growth they equal the Ayrshires, and surpass all climbers in hardiness. The flowers are produced in large 

 clusters late in the season when other summer Roses are gone. When it is desired to cover walls, unsightly buildings, etc., 

 with Roses, none will be found to do the work so efficiently as varieties of the Prairie Rose. 



Baltimore Belle, vig. {Samuel Feast, 1843.) Pale blush, becoming nearly white; compact and 



fine. 50c. 

 Queen of the Prairie, rig. (Samuel Feast, 1843.) Bright rosy red, frequently with white stripe. 



Foliage large and quite deeply serrated. 50c. 

 Setigera. The ^Michigan or Prairie Rose. Now that single roses are so popular, this variety will be 



much sought after. It is a climber, and when trained over a verandah makes a beautiful display. 



Large, single flowers, of a deep rose color. 50c. 



WICHURIANA ROSES (Climbing and Trailing) 



This section embraces some very valuable and interesting material for covering rockwork, creeping over banks and 

 tree stumps, also for use as pillar roses. The hybrids introduced in the last few years are remarkable for their beauty and 

 will have many admirers as soon as they become known. The many acquisitions in this class should result in creating a 

 fresh interest in Rose culture. 



Alberic Barbier, vig. (Barbier, 1900.) Semi-double or double, in clusters; creamy white, canary 

 yellow in center, darker yellow in bud ; fragrant. A strong grower. $1.00.

 pinkish white; fragrant. A strong grower. $1.00. 



Wichuriana. jNIemorial 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 profusion 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, 1 '< to 2 inches across, with yellow stamens, and have 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. 50c. 



Wichuriana Rubra, vig. (Barbier, 1900.) Single, bright scarlet, in large clusters, with orange red 

 stamens. Beautiful and effective. $1.00. 



William C. Egan, vig . Large, very full, silvery pink, in clusters; fine. 50c. 



CLASS II.— AUSTRIAN OR YELLOW ROSES 



These require careful pruning. Remove weakly wood altogether, and only shorten a few inches the shoots left for 

 flowering. If pruned close they will not bloom, as the flowers are produced from the terminal shoots of the old wood. 



Austrian Copper, vig. (J. Gerard, 1596.) Flowers single, brilliant copperv red, outside of petals 



dull gold. Very effective. $1.00.
