No. 1 Colored Plate Roses— Description of Varieties. 



Note. — Our No. 1 Colored Plate, represents three of the finest and most beautiful new Roses of 

 1891, as painted from nature expressly for OUR NEW GUIDE. They are exceedingly beautiful, and we ex- 

 pect a large demand for them r also for Plate No. 2, three of the newest and best of last year. 



Augustine Guinoisseau ( White La France}. — The best recommendation we can give this mag- 

 nificent new Rose is that it is a pure White La France, having just a breath of rose-tinted blush delicately 

 clouding the depths of its broad luxurious petals. The buds and flowers are extra large, very full and 

 tinelv formed, and delightfully perfumed. It blooms all through the season, and is a Rose that every one 

 will like to have. 50 cts.; Two-year, by Express, $1. 



Madame Baron Veillard. — This splendid new Ever-bloomer somewhat resembles in form and 

 habit the old Souvenir de la Malmaison, but is much brighter in color and exceedingly handsome. Extra 

 large, round, full, regular flowers, perfectly double, color clear silvery flesh, beautifully flushed with bright 

 pink, deepening at centre to fine carnation red. A good bloomer, very fragrant and quite hardy. Price, 

 50 cts.; Two-year, by Express, $1. 



J. B. Varrone. — There is no question about this being a truly splendid Rose. It has the form, 

 color and substance of those very choice and valuable varieties which only come occasionally. Superb 

 elongated buds and extra-large vase-shaped blooms, color intense scarlety crimson, very rich and bright, 

 and beautifully shaded with salmon yellow or buff rose at centre ; exceedingly beautiful, very sweet, and a 

 constant bloomer. Price, 50 cts.; Two-year, by Express, $1. 



Set of 3 Colored Plate No. 1, #1.35: Two-year (toy Express), $1 eacli; Set of 



3 for $2.50. 



No. 2 Colored Plate Roses— Description of Varieties. 



Note. — We ask particular attention to our New Colored Plate Roses Docteur Reymont and 

 Madame Allegatiere, as they belong to an entirely New Class, never before offered, the Rernontant 

 Hybrid Polyantha, from which it is hoped we may get some hardy Ever-blooming Roses of great value. 



Docteur Reymont {Remontant Hybrid Polyantha). — New Hardy Ever-bloomer, very handsome 

 and beautiful ; large, full, regular flowers; color, bright shining vermilion red, reverse of petals elegantly 

 clouded with rich violet crimson, exceedingly sweet, very striking and attractive, and believed to be one of 

 the most valuable New Roses of last year. Price, 35 cts.; Two-year size, 60 cts. 



Madame Alleg-atiere {Remontant Hybrid Polyantha). — A lovely, new, hardy Ever-blooming Rose 

 of great promise ; color, clear shell pink, passing to a delicate shade of fine coral rose, elegantly suffused 

 with pale carmine ; very pretty buds and large, well-filled flowers, deliciously perfumed, and believed to be 

 a valuable acquisition. Price, 35 cts.; Two-year, 60 cts. 



Sappho (Fine New English Tea Rose). — Large, full and globular flowers, very handsome and 

 distinct ; color, rich apricot yellow, delicately tinged with fawn and pale rose, delightfully tea-scented. It 

 is a strong, vigorous grower, and remarkably free bloomer ; the flowers are of excellent substance and last 

 well, and it is undoubtedly one of the finest New Roses of its class. Price, 35 cts.; Two-year size, 60 cts.
