LA PRINCESS VERA 



A Splendid Outdoor Rose 

 We hare had in our trial grounds several hundred 

 rarieties of Roses. For strong, clean growth, freedom 

 and constancy of bloom and beauty of flower and color 

 . ms variety is one of the best. Without doubt this is a 

 grand Rose for general planting, particularly for bed- 

 ding in the open ground. The flowers are large, finelj 

 S?de and open beautifully; when fully oP^^, ther^ ap- 

 nears to be a flower within a flower, so perfect is tne 

 . Form The color is rich ivory white, shaded and veined 

 1 with fine coppery yellow, and delicately penciled with 



pa e blush. A truly grand and ^l^^^^'^^^'l^fl'^fAll 

 that by virtue of its great excellence ranks among tne 

 1 best in cultivation.

 Jacquier 



strong Growing Free-Blooming Rose 



"We apprehend there are a great number of our cus- 

 tomers unacquainted with the fact that this is one of 

 the most beautiful— in short, a Rose that compares fa- 

 vorably with the celebrated leading kinds. "NVe think 

 this variety worthy of recognition, for as far as our 

 specimens go, we consider it a most satisfactory Rose 

 for general planting. The flowers are large, beautiful 

 and finely formed, very double, full and deliciously 

 perfumed'. Color bright rosy carmine, deepening to 

 crimson; elegantly tinged and shaded coppery yellow. 

 It is of strong, sturdy habit of growth, and produces 

 i's grand flowers, profusely and constantly, from early Sum- 

 mer until late Fall. We are confident that this variety will 

 please everyone who plants it. It cannot be surpassed for 

 massing or bedding. 



DEVONIENSIS 



The Charming Magnolia Rose 

 We doubt if there is scarcely anyone who does not 

 know of the beauty of this famous old favorite. There

 desirable. If there is one variety more than another 

 that we are partial to it is Devoniensis. It is fine any- 

 where. Planted outdoors it gives an abundance of its 

 beautiful flowers all through the season. The color is a 

 lovely creamy white with rosy centers, large, very full 

 and double, and deliciously scented. This is the one 

 Rose that should be seen in every garden. 15c. each;
