Grand Hybrid Tea Rose, 

 Meteor. 



This splendid Rose belongs to the Hybrid Tea class, and 

 is admittedly one of the brightest colored and most brilliant 

 Roses we have, and is highly recommended for bedding and 

 general planting, as well as for growing in pots and conserva- 

 tory. The color is rich velvety crimson, exceedingly bright 

 and striking, and both buds and flowers are large and ele- 

 gantly formed, fully double, and borne on nice long stems, 

 which renders it especially attractive, as well as nice for cut- 

 ting. It is a vigorous and healthy grower and a quick and 

 constant bloomer, quite fragrant; a really excellent Rose in 

 every way, and never fails to please ; moderately hardy, but 

 requires careful protection in Winter. 20 cts. each. 



Pierre Guillot.— One of the most valuable of all hybrid 

 Teas, and remarkaole for its very brilliant color, bright daz- 

 zling crimson, passing to vivid carmine red ; flowers large, 

 rery double and full, highly scented ; profuse bloomer ; a 

 good healthy grower and moderately hardy. 25 cts. each.

William Francis Bennett. — This beautiful Rose holds 

 a secure position of its own ; no other variety can take its 

 place ; it is noted for its magnificent buds and wonderful 

 color, which is intense dazzling crimson; one of the brightest 

 and most brilliant colored Roses ever grown ; it is particularly 

 valuable for forcing and greenhouse culture, and does fairly 

 well in favorable situationsin open ground ; reasonably hardy,
