HARDY 



MEMORIAL ROSE, 



Rosa... 

 Wichuraiana. 



Creeps on the ground like Ivy; 

 dark green leaves; numberless 

 satiny white flowers, with gol- 

 den yellow discs, hardy as gra ss 

 and will grow in sun or shade. 



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

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

 along the ground almost as closely as an Ivr, growing ten feet in one season and forming a denu, 

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

 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 satinv 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 with 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 h^d 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 

 for 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 no more fitting place can 

 be found for it than running through the grass. 10 cents each ; large 2 vear old plants 25 cents each. 



NEW RACE OF ROSES 



HYBRIDS OF ROSA WICHURAIANA. ^ \7 Mm^K^ ^ 



Double White Memorial Rose, ;Kpha 



-jmph.) gemofthis 



excellent collection, and may well be called the Doutle Memorial 

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

 of growth and foliage, but the flowers are double and very fra- 

 grant . They are produced in clusters of from twelve to eighteen 

 flowers on each cluster on small side shoots, literally coverine 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 

 gateposts, boundary walli, of as specimens in pots or tubs. 15 cents 

 each ; large 2 year old plants 35 cents each. 



Doutle Pink Memorial Rose, v^i-.S; 



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

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

 light pink, and very fragrant. 15 cents each; large 3 year old 

 plants 35 cents each. 



AU these Roses tcere certificated hy the Xew Torh Florists' Club 

 and the New York Gardeners' Society. Manda's Triumph received 

 the Silver Medal as well, and teas certificated ichcrever shown. 



The Flowers Shown 

 are only half.... 

 the Natural Size. 



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 varj 

 iety and entirely distinct from the others. 15 cents "each ; large t 

 year old plants 85 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 

 flowers are over two inches in diameter, a bright rich 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. 15 cents each ; large 2 

 year old plants 35 cents each. 



The Double Varieties will unquestionably make grand pot plan - 

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

 ers. and we believe that the white variety will eventua..y ta, 

 rank with the Crimson Rambler and forma splendid contrast to i:
