NEW ROSES 



VURY' 



New Tea Rose, " Ivory." 



(White Golden Gate.) 



A most important addition to our list of Roses for cut flower 

 purposes. It is a sport from Golden Gate, which to-day is prob- 

 ably the freest-flowering Rose of its type in cultivation, but which 

 unfortunately lacks in decided color, on which account it has never 

 met with much popularity. The variety now offered embodies 

 all of the good points of its parent, size, freedom of bloom, 

 strong, vigorous, healthy growth, and a pure white color, which 

 makes it an invaluable acquisition, and a Rose which must at once 

 meet with popular favor. It has been shown during the past sea- 

 son at the principal exhibitions, at all of which it was awarded 

 high honors. 



We do not hesitate to predict a great future for this Rose, 

 especially as it is of comparatively easy culture. 



We offer for delivery April 1st, very strong 2 l / z -inch pot plants 

 which are guaranteed pure and true. 



$2.50 per dozen; $4.00 per 25 ; $15.00 per 100; $125.00 

 per 1000. 



50 plants supplied at 100 rates ; 250 plants at 1000 rates. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose, Balduin or 

 Helen Gould. 



An excellent bedding variety, with large full flowers of fine 

 form, of bright glowing carmine ; the bud is long and pointed 

 and as sweet as a June Rose ; a free and continuous bloomer. 



2^ -inch pots, 75 cents per dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 



Tea Rose, Sunrise. 



In close bud form Sunrise shows the high, brilliant colors, seen 

 only in the "Austrian-Copper," scarlet and yellow. As it opens 

 the color deepens, the scarlet turning darker red, the yellow to 

 orange and copper, the inside of the petal, golden yellow. The 

 open rose is large, perfectly double and of grand form. The 

 foliage is glossy and thick, the new growths being the darkest and 

 most beautiful found among roses. The form and color of bud, 

 its freedom of growth and bloom, will give Sunrise a high 

 place among forcing roses. 



2j£ -inch pots, 75 cents per dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 



ROSE, GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. 



New Bedding Rose, 



Gruss an Teplitz or Crimson Hermosa. 



This, the reddest of all red Roses, is faithfully shown in 

 colors on the front cover of our retail catalogue, and is, to the 

 amateur who has no greenhouse and depends on his garden for 

 flowers, one of the most important varieties yet introduced. It 

 is a rose for everybody, succeeding under the most ordinary condi- 

 tions, and is destined to take rank with such old-time favorites 

 as Hermosa, Malmaison, Soupert, etc. In color it is of the 

 richest scarlet imaginable, shading to a velvety crimson as the 

 flowers mature ; in size it is larger than Hermosa, very fragrant, 

 a free, strong grower, quite hardy, and the most profuse bloomer 

 known to us, the mass of color produced being truly phenomenal. 

 The foliage is extremely beautiful, all the younger growth being 

 of a bronzy plum color. 



We offer a large stock of dormant plants. 3-inch pots, on 

 own roots, $1.00 per dozen; $8.00 per 100. 4-inch pots, od 

 own roots, $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per 100. 



Strong 2-year-old imported budded plants, 30 cents each, 

 $3.00 per dozen. Extra strong 2-year-old imported budded 

 plants, 40 cents each; $4.00 per dozen. 



New Hardy Rose, Soleil D'Or. 



This is the first of a new race of Roses, styled " Pernetiana." 

 It is a cross between the Persian Yellow and the Hybrid Perpet- 

 ual Antoine Ducher. It retains considerable of the character of 

 Persian Yellow, the bark of the wood being reddish, the thorns 

 very fine ; the foliage more ample, of a beautiful green and close 

 together. Like Persian Yellow this variety is perfectly hardy, 

 with large, full, globular flowers varying in color from gold and 

 orange to reddish gold, shaded with nasturtium red. We offer 

 large imported plants at 40 cents each; $4.50 per dozen.
