flew CLIMBIN& 1^0^^ f(oge— " dumliBrland Belle." 



We take pleasure in offering for the first time to the legion of lovers of 

 the Queen of Flowers, this the forerunner of a new race of Roses, a grand 

 true climbing 3Ioss Rose. It is of American origin, having been found growing 

 in a private garden in the historic Cumberland Valley — a sport from that 

 pretty Moss Eose Princess Adelaide, itself a strong vigorous grower, which 

 is wonderfully developed in the offspring, the original sport the first season 

 having attained a height of over fifteen feet and had one hundred and eighteen 

 huds andfloioers on it at one time. The past season, planted side by side with 

 Crimson Rambler and other rampant growers, it fully equaled them in vigor 

 of growth. In color it is identical to the parent, a bright silvery rose, very 

 double ; the buds nicely mossed and exquisitely fragrant. Altogether a 

 most unique and desirable acquisition. (See cut. ). Ready April 1st. 

 Young plants, 2^ in. pots, 30 cts. each ; $3.50 per doz. ; $25.00 per 100. 



f!eW Climbing I(o^b— " I(oi)aI Cluster*." 



This new variety is a cross between Heimosa and Dawson. A strong 

 growing cluster-rose, of erect habit, entirely hardy, and is an abundant 

 bloomer. The clusters are large, one cluster on the parent plant last year 

 having over one hundred buds and blooms. The color is rosy white, 

 changing to white. The stamens are prominent and of a bright yellow — a 

 striking feature. Strong 2^ in. pots, 10 cts. each ; $1.00 per doz.; $6.00 

 per 100. Strong 4 in. pots, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. ; $20.00 per 100. 



New Climbing \foss Rose, " Cumberland Belle." 



New Evergreen Roses. 



The most remarkable achievement and improvement of a new 

 and distinct type of Hardy Roses, that has been made for a gener- 

 ation. The growth is remarkable for its freedom, a single plant, 

 four years old, covering a space of 240 square feet, with long 

 shoots, twelve to twenty-five feet in length, completely covering 

 the ground with its bright glossy foliage and showy fragrant flow- 

 ers. The foliage of all is leathery in texture, shiny, and not only 

 proof against insects, but Evergreen ; that is, keeping the foliage 

 all Winter ; a characteristic in Roses never before obtained. 



The flowers are produced most profusely, are all of large size, 

 very fragrant, and can be easily used ior cut-flower purposes, 

 especially when in bud. The use of these Roses will be unlimited, 

 for covering graves, to cover roots, stumps and stems of trees, walls 

 and trellises, and also for forcing as pot plants during Spring, 

 especially for Easter.
