ROSES 



bedding variety, raised by Wm. Burgess, 

 Glen Cove, L. I., 1885. 



Marshall P. Wilder, H. R., a very beautiful 

 variety and one of the best of its class, raised 

 and introduced by Ellwanger & Barry, 

 Rochester, N. Y., 1885, and Rosalie, another 

 gem, by the same firm in 1884. 



Golden Gate, Tea, by Mr. Jones, of New 

 Orleans, about 1888. 



American Beauty. Though not an Amer- 

 ican variety, yet the credit of bringing it into 

 popularity is due to the energy and foresight 

 of one firm in this country, Messrs. Field 

 Bros., of Washington, D. C; the correct 

 name of this rose is Mme. Ferdinand Jamain; 

 raised in France but of no particular value 

 there. 



America (Noisette), raised by C. G. Page, 

 1859, a very nice climber but not quite hardy. 



Peter Henderson & Co. have introduced 

 some very beautiful varieties — they are: 



Setina, 1859, a sport from Hermosa, of 

 climbing habit and not as widely planted as 

 its merits deserve. 



American Banner, 1879, a striped form of 

 Bon Silene, of no great value, except as a 

 novelty.
