Sunset.— This grand Rose is a great favorite wherever 

 known ; the color is a rich golden amber or old gold, ele- 

 gantly shaded with dark ruddy crimson, resembling the beau- 

 tiful tints seen in a Summer sunset; the flowers and buds are 

 extra large, full, finely formed and dehciously perfumed ; it is 

 a strong and vigorous grower and free '-loomer, highly recom- 



mended both' for open-ground and house culture (see cut)

 to silvery white, elegantly shaded with fine rosy amber ; very 

 pretty and dehciously perfumed ; large, finely pointed buds, 

 medium-size flowers, regular, full and handsome. 15 cts.

The Bride. — A superb, pure white Tea Rose; recom- 

 mended as one of the best of its color; the buds and flowers 

 are unusually large, finely formed, very double and full, and 

 dehciously perfumed; it is a strong, healthy grower, and a 

 quick and constant bloomer ; does well in open ground, and 

 is particularly valuable for growing in greenhouse for cut 

 flowers, as its produces abundantly and its blooms are 

 of the most desirable form and quality for floral work, , 

 bouquets, wreaths, etc. The name, too, is very attractive, 

 arid almost every one who plants Roses wants one or 

 more Brides. Grows and blooms well in Summer, but 

 should be taken indoors in Winter. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 

 cts. ; 6 for $1. 



The Queen. — This grand White Ever-blooming Tea 

 Rose was introduced by us in 1889, and was received with 

 great favor both in this country and in Europe. The Queen 

 is a large, pure white, free-blooming Tea Rose, the offspring 

 of that fine old Rose, the Souv. d'un Amie, whose many 

 good qualities it possesses to a remarkable degree ; it is a 

 continuous bloomer, producing successive crops of buds and 

 flowers in great profusion ; the buds are beautifully formed, 

 with large petals of best substance ; shows the centre but 

 slightly when fully open ; color pure snowy white ; exquis- 

 itely scented ; a vigorous and healthy grower ; altogether we 

 consider the Queen one of the best, if not the best White Tea 

 Rose now in cultivation (see cut). 20 cts. each. 



Theresa Lambert. — Delicate rose color, base of petals 

 finely tinged with gold, centre pale silvery salmon. 15 cts. 

 each. 



Triumph de Luxembourg. — Immense rosy pink buds 

 and flowers, perfectly double and exceedingly sweet ; a 

 vigorous grower and constant and profuse bloomer. 15 

 cts. each. 



Valle de Chamounix. — Very double, full and sweet; 

 color coppery yellow, elegantly shaded and tinged with rosy 

 blush, 15 cts. each. 



Waban. — A valuable Rose, originated at the Waban 

 Conservatories, Massachusetts, from whence it takes its 

 name ; it is a sport from that excellent old Rose, Catharine 

 Mermet, and identical with it in every characteristic except 

 color, which is a rich, deep bright pink, much brighter and 

 more durable than Mermet, but has the same beauty of form, 

 and is a more abundant bloomer ; has proved very valuable 

 for forcing under glass, and is believed equally good for 

 open-ground planting. 25 cts. each. 



White Bon Silene. — This elegant new variety is valued 

 particularly for its splendid buds. 15 cts. each. 



White Pearl. — A pure white sport from the grand old 

 Perle des Jardins, which it closely resembles, except in color; 

 sometimes slightly tinged. 20 cts. each. 



Yellow Tea. — Beautiful, large, pointed buds. 10 cts. 

 each.
