Novelties in Roses. 



Heretofore we have been short of a good Yellow Rose, v/hich would do well in this 

 climate, but we have great confidence in the two new varieties: Yellow Cochet and Souvenir 

 de Pierre Notting, which have been tested at our nursery during the past two years. 



MME. DEREPAS PATRAT. 



Mme. Derepas Matrat. ; Yellow Cochet. 

 A pure Tea rose, very free-growing and hardy 

 in character, withstanding ten degrees below 

 Kero. It throws up fine, strong stems, crowned 

 hy solitary buds of grand size; the color is a 

 good sulphur-3'^ellow, blooms very large, per- 

 fectly double, splendid form and freely pro- 

 duced. It has every quality necessary to 

 make the ideal yellow bedder, ranking with 

 the White and Pink Cochets in value as a 

 Slimmer rose; 2.3, 50, $1.00. , 



Souvenir de Pierre Notting. (Tea.) This 

 variety is a seedling of M., Niel and Maman 

 Cochet, with beautiful closely, set foliage and 

 a strong, sturdy habit of growth. The bloom 

 is Tery large, perfectly full, of elegant form — 

 has a beautiful long bud; the colors are very 

 bright, distinct and clear, and have no un- 

 pleasant tones — orange-yellow, bordered in 

 carmine-rose. Promises to prove very popular. 

 Has received not less than six gold medals and 

 prizes; 25, 50, $1.00. 



SOUVEN8R DE PIERRE NOTTING. 



Bessie Brown. A rose of transcendent 

 beauty, totally distinct, and one of the largest 

 and fullest that we have ever seen. It is erect 

 and vigorous in growth, flowering profusely 

 in the open ground all through the summer. 

 Color pure white, sometimes faintly flushed 

 pink; petals enormous and of shell shape. It 

 is marvelous that such large flowers can be so 

 freely produced; 25, 50, $1.00.
