MADAME DE WATTEVILLE.— This grand New Ever- Blooming Rose is one of the most beauti- 

 ful Premiums we have ever sent out, and we expect will be called for in nearly every order. The color is a 

 remarkable shade of creamy yellow, richly colored with rosy blush ; the petals are large and each one 

 widely bordered with bright crimson, which gives it a very striking and beautiful appearance. The flowers 

 are large, very full and highly perfumed. Free to all who add 10 cents to their orders for 

 postage and packing ; 20 cents added gets both Premiums. 



CHARLES DE LEGRADY. — One of the best new Roses of last year — then offered for the first time 

 and sold at 35 cents ; flowers are large, fine form, very double and sweet ; color, dark crimson richly shaded 

 with purplish-red, sometimes bordered with silver rose. A constant and profuse bloomer ; extra fine. Free 

 to all who add 10 cents to their orders for postage and packing ; 20 cents added

 ble New Roses. 



WILLIAM FRAN- 

 CIS BENNETT.— This 

 beautiful New Rose con- 

 tinues to attract a great 

 deal of attention; it origin- 

 ated in England and was 

 considered so valuable 

 that it was sold for Five 

 Thousand Dollars," 

 the highest price that 

 any Rose was ever known 

 to bring. It belongs to 

 the class of Hybrid Teas ; 

 the plant is a robust 

 grower and a most con- 

 stant and persistent 

 bloomer. The buds are 

 Extra Large, remark- 

 ably beautiful and de 

 lightfully fragrant ; color, 

 intense dazzling crimson, 

 one of the brightest 

 Colored Roses ever 

 grown. It is very valu- 

 able for forcing and green- 

 house culture, and will 

 probably do well in open 

 ground where the Sum- 

 mers are not too hot and 

 dry. It is moderately 

 hardy, but will require 

 protection north of Wash- 

 ington, D.C. Price, 50 

 cents ; $5 per doz.
