NEW ROSES FROM EUROPE 



ON this and the two following pages are offered the very latest European introductions, and only those are of- 

 fered that are superior to varieties of their class and color already in commerce. What we have here rep- 

 resents the highest degree of perfection yet attained in Roses, and as such they cannot fail to be of inter- 

 est to every lover of new and rare varieties. The descriptions may be relied upon as being absolutely ac- 

 curate. Right here let us say that we have discarded in all our Rose departments such varieties that have not 

 proven themselves to be thoroughly distinct and different from varieties that we already offer. This fact 

 taken into consideration, we may fairly claim to have the most extensive and representative list of Roses to be 

 found on this continent, or perhaps in any part of the world. All our plants are of the strongest and cleanest 

 character, sure to grow and give you the utmost satisfaction. Take our advice and give the; new Roses a trial. 

 Many of them are of marvelous beauty.

SOUV. DE PCERRE NOTTING 



SOLEIL DOR 



GOLDEN SUN 



The most unique Rose in cultivation, being the first of 

 a new race. It is a cross between Persian yellow and 

 Antoine Ducher, but is thoroughly distinct both in habit 

 of growth and color of flower. A strong, robust grower, 

 with straight branches, and heavy deep green foliage. 

 Very full, the expanded flowers being large and globular, 

 the center petals being well incurved, forming a double 

 flower. The color of a fully expanded flower is extraor- 

 dinary and is not found in any other variety in cultiva- 

 tion—a blending of reddish-gold, orange-yellow, nastur- 

 tium-red and pink, forming a combination that is well 

 described when the Rose was named Golden Sun. A de- 

 scription is inadequate to describe the warmness of color, 

 and no description can do justice to the peerless beauty 

 of this wonderful new, hardy yellow Rose. It will prove 

 hardy in all sections of the country. Wherever shown this 

 Rose has won all first prizes. It has but one drawback 

 to the propagator's mind, and that is that it does not suc- 

 ceed well on its own roots, and we, therefore, offer it in 

 strong, low-budded plants, two-year-old stock only. Dor- 

 mant plants, 40 ««ts. each, up to April 1st; after that 

 date, potted plants, SO cts. each. (See illustration) 



SUPERB NEW TEA ROSE 



SOUV. DE PIERRE NOTTING 



This beautiful new Tea Rose is an introduction of 

 one of the foremost firms of France, and has not 

 been exceeded in merit by any Rose yet sent out 

 from that country. It is the result of a cross of 

 Marechal Mel on Marnan Cachet Bloom very large, 

 well filled and opens easily; beautiful elongated 

 bud. Color apricot yellow tinged with golden; mix- 

 ed with orange yellow; edge of petals shaded beau- 

 tiful carmine-rose; open flower is full and double 

 and of good substance. In form and beauty it ex- 

 ceeds Maman docket, and in quantity of bloom it 

 is reached by no'other known rose. Gold medals 

 and awards of merit. For amateur culture this 

 Rose will take front rank with any Rose in cultiva- 

 tion; in fact, up to this time it can be justly re- 

 garded as the best all-around Rose for general cul- 

 tivation. It is fully as strong a grower, if not 

 stronger, than the Cochet Roses; has a wonderful 

 constitution, hardy and always in bloom. The flow- 

 ers are magnificent in every way. (See illustration) 

 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1; two-year-old 

 plants, 40 cts. each.
