^\f?NDER this heading we offer, after a careful test, the best of all the new Roses introduced 

 during the past few years up to 1898. They were produced by scientific hybridization, and 

 represent the brains and skill of the most celebrated Rosarians of both this country and 

 Europe. Among them will be found novelties of rare merit, which cannot be had else- 

 where. They have been sent to us from all quarters of the globe and are now a part of the 

 greatest collection of Roses to be found in the world. Their beauty will open up the possibilities 

 of the pleasure to be had from planting the newer Roses. After the name of each variety we 

 give the name of the introducer. 



Quite a few of the most beautiful of the newer Roses have been given names so unpro- 

 nounceable as to cause the average person to sigh with desperation. Not infrequently a Rose of 

 unusual merit is given a name that does it a positive injustice. In their native countries these 

 names may have a reasonable significance, but here with us there is no excuse for them ; there- 

 fore we have decided to give our customers the privilege of either ordering by number or name, 

 just as they prefer. We think it will simplify ordering and prove a great convenience to the 

 buyer. Whether ordered by name or number, all plants will be sent with their proper names 

 attached. Bear this in mind.
