California's Grand Hero f^ose, "The ffainbooi." 



We are glad to announce that California contributes a Grand New Rose this year, The Rainbow, 

 which we have no, doubt will be extensively planted. It comes to us very highly recommended by its 

 originators at San Francisco, who say that at the late Show of the California State Floral Society, it was- 

 awarded a Silver Cup, the highest Premium in the gift of the Society, and attracted more admiration than> 

 any other of the thousands of Flowers shown, and the highest comments of the press. The color is a lovely 

 shade of deep coral pink, striped and mottled in the most unique manner, with intense glowing crimson, 

 and elegantly colored with rich golden amber at centre and base of petals. It makes beautiful buds and 

 the flowers are extra large, very sweet, and of great depth and substance. Its wonderful combination of 

 colors seems to render the name Rainbow very appropriate, and its many other excellent qualities strongly 

 commend it to flower lovers everywhere, as well as in the great State of California, where Roses attain a 

 size and magnificence scarcely equaled in any other State in the Union. Price, 50 cts. each ; $6 per doz.

Five Remarkable Novelties, named in honor of the Great African Ex- 

 plorer—Henry M. Stanley, Mrs. Jessie Fremont, Pearl Rivers, Maud Little, 

 Golden Gate— The Henry M. Stanley Set. 



See illustration, page 6. — We are sure our friends will welcome these Splendid New American Pedigree 

 Roses, which we have the pleasure of offering for the first time this year. They are the rarest novelties o£ 

 the season, and the mere announcement of their coming has aroused a wide-spread interest that will doubt- 

 less absorb the whole stock we have to offer. Each one of these charming novelties is the product of a 

 special union of two of the choicest old sorts, whose good qualities have in this way been combined and 

 improved in the most interesting manner. And when it is considered that these remarkable combinations 

 were made under the most favorable conditions, and in a Southern climate and locality, where Roses reach 

 their fullest perfection, it is natural that they should prove of unusual beauty and value. The work of 

 obtaining these beautiful novelties by artificial hybridization has required years of careful study and patient 

 skill, and it is confidently believed that they will prove highly interesting and reliable additions to our 

 Lists of Beautiful Roses, but few of which have been originated in this country.
