Rose, Mad. Segond Weber. 



Madam Segond Weber 



One of the most beautiful Roses of recent introduction. The long, pointed 

 buds are pink or salmon-flesh and when fully expanded are immense in 

 full and double; as the flower opens it deepens until it fairly glows 

 with its warm deep pink. Highly fragrant. Very hardy and con- 

 stantly in bloom.

 creamy white, with buff center, outer petals being a delightful shade 

 of salmon-rose passing to a salmon-pink. The flowers are extremely 

 large, full and perfect in form. The bush is a particularly strong 

 grower, very hardy and always in bloom. Altogether this is one of 

 the Roses you cannot well do without.

 upright stems. Buds rich pink, shaded salmon, opening light orange 

 shaded pink.

 of free branching habit, blooming freely and continuously throughout 

 the season. An excellent bedding Rose. 



CHATEAU DE CLOS VOUGET _a magnificent Hybrid Tea Rose of won- 

 drous color — the "blackest" of all Roses, each petal appearing as if cut 

 from deep crimson velvet. It is a strong, lusty grower, and one of the 

 most beautiful of all dark-colored Roses.

 upright groweer. Thornless. Opens well. Resembles Souv. de la Mal- 

 maison. Has a little of the climbing tendency.

 Gentlemen: — I am in receipt of the Roses and shrubs. They were in as fine con- 

 dition as when they Avere shipped, although the weather was very dry. Such hand- 

 some stock and packing I have never handled, and have been at it forty-two years. 

 Accept my sincere thanks for same and extras. j. j. LAWSON.
