FOR USE IN CEMETERIES — It is difBcult to conceive anything more appropriate, beautiful 

 and enduring for covering graves and plots in cemeteries than the Hardy Memorial Rose. It creeps 

 along the ground almost as closely as an Ivy. grooving ten feet in one season and forming a dense 

 mat of very dark green, lustrous foliage. THE FLOWERS are produced in lavish profusion, in 

 clusters, on the ends of the short side branches, after the June Roses are past, from the first 

 week in July throughout the month, and sparingly throughout the season. They are single, 

 pure white, with a golden yellow disc, five to six inches in circumference, and have the strong 

 fragrance of the Banksia Roses. The contrast between the satiny white of the petals and the 

 golden yellow disc is sharp and pleasing and is one of the distinctive charms of the beautiful 

 Hardy Memorial Rose, and they fairly cover the entire plant when in bloom, a mass of great snow- 

 flakes vrith the rich, dark green showing here and there. But its use is not confined to Cemeteries. Planted in the Rose garden, alone 

 or among other Roses, and trained upright to a stake, it may be had from three to six feet high, as desired, and it will send sprays of 

 flowers drooping downward, making the prettiest sight imaginable. It is largely used throughout the famous park system of Boston 

 lor covering rocky slopes, embankments and such places as it was desired to cover quickly with verdure. It quickly adapts itself to 

 all conditions of growth, whether barren soil, rocky ledge, fertile garden, shady nook or sun-kissed slope, and ho more fitting place can 

 be found for it than running through the grass. 10 cents each ; la;ge 2 year old plants 2.5 csnts each.

the Natural Size. 



Double White Memorial Rose, ffi"„?ph' 



This is the 

 Triumph.) gem of this 

 excellent collection, and may well be called the Oouble Memorial 

 Rose, as it preserves the color of the parent, with its characteristics 

 of growth and foliage, but the flowers are double and -^erj' fragrant. 

 They are produced in clusters of from twelve to eign teen flowers 

 on each cluster on small side shoots, literally covering the plant and 

 standing well above the foliage, giving a very graceful appearance. 

 This variety will be valuable for all purposes, whether for trailing 

 on the ground for cemetery use, growing on fences and gate posts, 

 boundary walls, or as specimens in pots or tubs. 20 cents each; 

 large 2 year old plants 50 cents each. 



Double Pink Memorial Rose, i:"a°S >' 



A fitting 

 Favorite.) companion 

 to the above; identical in growth, but with perfectly formed 

 double fiowers one and one-half to two inches in diameter', of a soft 



light pink, and very fragrant, 

 plants 50 cents each. 



20 cents each ; large 2 year old 



All the^e Raises ivere certificated by the New Tork Florists' Club 

 and the New Tork Gardeners'" Society. Manila's Triumph received 

 the Silver Medal as well, and was certificated wherever shoivn. 



South Orange Perfection. 



Pink Roamer. 



This variety is similar 

 to the preceding ones in- 

 growth. It has double flowers, soft blush changing to white, 

 about one and one-half inches in diameter. The blossoms are, 

 if anything, more freely produced than on the preceding, and 

 are more double, perfect rosettes in shape. This is a very 

 pretty variety and entirely distinct from the others. 20 cents 

 each ; large 2 year old plants 50 cents each. 



This variety shows undoubted traces of 

 descent from' the Sweet Brier, both in the 

 color and the shape of the blossoms and in its exquisite fragrance. 

 The growth is much stronger than the preceding. The single 

 flo'wers are over two inches in diameter, a bright I'ich pink, with 

 a large, silvery-white center and orange-red stamens, producing a 

 most charming effect. This variety, from its artistic appearance, 

 will undoubtedly be very largely planted in parks and large private 

 grounds. The fragrance is not the least charm of this beautiful 

 Rose, and we believe that eventually it will become one of the 

 most valuable productions of recent years. 20 cents each ; large 

 2 vear old plants 50 cents each. 



The Double Varieties will unquestionably make grand pot plants 

 for the greenhouse or conservatory, and can also be used as climb- 

 ers, and we believe that the white variety will eventually take 

 rank with Crimson Rambler and form a splendid contrast to it.
