TWELVE FINE FORCING ROSES. 



American Beauty. An excellent rose for forcing or 

 open air. The flowers are very double, of a deep 

 crimeon color, and very fragrant. Its blooming 

 qualities are remarkable, as it is scarcely ever out of 

 flower, and is a true type of what a Hybrid Perpetual 

 Pose -should be. We consider it one of the most val- 

 uable of the late introductions. 



Bon Silene. , Brilliant carmine rose, buds long, very 

 fragrant and free, a general favorite. 



Catherine Merniet. Bright flesh color, full and 

 beautiful; one of the most lovely shades; the buds 

 are of very large size aud fine shape. 



Comtesse Freigneuse. A charming new yellow 

 Tea Rose, very fragrant , the buds are long and 

 pointed, nearly equal in size to Perle des Jardin, and 

 are of a light yellow color, somewhat similar to M. 

 NieL Its lovely color and form, combined with its 

 free Mourning qualities, will make it popular. 



Papa Gontier. Exceedingly free flowering, verv 

 sweet; one of the finest roses either for out of doors 

 or for winter forcing. The blooms are large and 

 long, with thick, broad petals of a dark carmine 

 crimson. 



Perle des Jardins. Beautiful rich yellow, of large- 

 size and perfect form ; no other rose is cultivated so 

 extensively for winter cut flowers. 



The Bride. A lovely pure white rose of the Cath- 

 erine Mermet type; it is very full and double, free 

 flowering, and excellent for forcing or out-door 

 planting. 



Wm, Francis Bennett. For forcing this is an ad- 

 mirable rose; its rich, glowing crimson color and 

 charming fragrance, combined with large size aud cor- 

 rect shape, have rendered it a general favorite. We 

 do not recommend it as a summer bloomer, as it is 

 apt to run single, but for winter use it is invaluable.
