A Beautiful Novelty, New Striped Rose, Vick's Caprice. 



It is not often we can offer such a 

 striking novelty in Roses as Vick's Ca- 

 price. Think of a large bush full of fine 

 large red Roses having broad white 

 stripes, as shown in the illus- 

 tration. This grand variety is 

 a true Hybrid Perpetual, being 

 a sport from the splendid old 

 Hybrid Perpetual Rose, Arch 

 duchesse d'Autriche, and is 

 therefore perfectly hardy, 

 and can be grown by 

 every one. The flowers 

 are large, slightly cup- 

 shaped, but full and 

 deep; the petals are thick 

 and lasting, having the 

 ground color clear satiny 

 pink, distinctly striped 

 and dashed with white 

 and bright car- 

 mine. It makes 

 - lovely, elegant- 

 shaped buds, 

 which show the 

 stripes and mark- 

 ings to great ad- 

 vantage, and, be- 

 ing en t ir ely 

 unique and re- 

 markably beau- 

 tiful, are very 

 valuable for cutting and floral 

 decoration. It is a vigorous, 

 healthy grower, and blooms 

 freely at short iter vals during 

 the whole season. Besides be- 

 ing a valuable novelty, this is 

 really a very handsome and 

 attractive Rose which all can have and enjoy

 PlBPlTCIJL MOSS BOSES. 



The Moss Rose is a strong, vigorous grower, perfectly 

 hardy, and therefore justly esteemed as very desirable for 

 outdoor culture in open ground. Most varieties bloom but 

 once in the season, and usually not the first year, but the 

 flowers and buds are very large and handsome; they remain 

 in bloom a long time, and are highly prized wherever beautiful 

 Roses are known. Moss Roses like rich ground and are 

 much improved in beauty and fragrance by liberal manuring 

 and good cultivation, but they bear hardship and neglect well, 

 and always bloom profusely. They are suitable for 

 planting with shrubbery and other plants in beds 

 and borders, and also singly in lawn or dooryard.
