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

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



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

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

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

 of the most valuable New Roses of this year. Price, 50 cts.; Two-year size, 75 cts. 



Madame Alleg-atiere {^Remontant Hybrid Polyatitha'). — 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, 50 cts.; Two-year, 75 cts. 



Sappho (Fine New Eng-lish 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.

No. 2 Colored Plate Eoses— Description of Varieties. 



The Dinsmore.— This GRAND NEW HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSE has now been thoroughly 

 tested, and has proved very valuable for garden planting. It is hardy and vigorous, and an early and con- 

 stant bloomer, COMMENCING TO BLOOM ALMOST AS SOON AS PLANTED, THE FIRST SEASON, AND 

 CONTINUES LOADED WITH FLOWERS ALL SUMMER LONG; IN FACT, IT IS ONE OF THE MOST CON- 

 STANT AND PROFUSE BLOOMERS WE KNOW. The flowers are large and perfectly double ; color, rich 

 crimson scarlet, very showy and handsome. Price, 35 cts.; Two-year, 50 cts 



Mrs. John Laing-.— An elegant NEW CONSTANT-BLOOMING HYBRID PERPETUAL 

 ROSE. One of the very finest of its class ; color, clear, bright pink, exquisitely shaded. The buds are long 

 and pointed, the flowers extra large and full, borne on long stems, and exceedingly sweet, valuable both 

 for open ground and greenhouse culture ; a grand Rose. Price, 35 cts.; Two-year, 50 cts. 



Jean Libaud. — This is not a new Rose, but one that we think ought to be better known. It is 

 one of THE VERY DARKEST OF ALL ROSES. The flowers are large, full and fragrant, and of 

 the most intense DARK, RICH, VELVETY CRIMSON IMAGINABLE ; they are so dark in fact that at a 

 LITTLE DISTANCE THEY LOOK ALMOST BLACK. Very rare and.handsome and always greatly admired.
