We apprehend there 

 are a great number of 

 our customers unac- 

 quainted with the fact that 

 this is one of the most beauti- 

 ful — in short, a Rose that com- 

 pares favorably with the celebrated leading kinds. We 

 think this variety wortliy 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 its grand flowers, profusely 

 and constantly, from early Summer until late Fall. We are 

 confident that this variety will please every one who plants 

 it. It cannot be surpassed for massing or bedding. 



J. B. VARONNE. ^ Grand Tea Rose.— We con- 

 sider this one of the best and most satisfactory in the list. 

 The superb extra-long pointed buds are exceedingly beau- 

 tiful ; the flowers are extra large, vase-shaped, both full and 

 double. The color is intense scarlety crimson, very rich 

 and bright, and is beautifully shaded with salmon yellow 

 or buif rose at centre; fragrance very sweet. It is a 



strong, vigor- 



The Roses, etc., came duly by express,

 thanks for the extras. J. Amenilt,,

JAUNE NABONNAND. Qne of the Finest 



Roses. — This is one of the really good Roses. It cannot 



fail to give splendid satisfaction. It is a strong grower, 



making thick heavy shoots ; indeed it is remarkable for its 



vigor and vitality. The color is a rich chamois yellow, 



centre sometimes delicately shaded with coppery rose ; 



the fragrance is charming. For profusion of bloom, 



finely formed flowers and sturdy growth, this variety 



is difficult to surpass. It produces the kind of Roses 



that none of us have ever had enough of. 15 cts. each ; 



4 for 50 cts. Two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



LA GRANDEUR. ^ Beautifully Striped Tea 

 Rose. — We consider this lovely variety one of the best, if 

 not the best striped Rose of any class. The stripes and 

 dashes of white stand out in bold rehef against the soft rosy 

 carmine background, which at the base of petals deepens 

 into pale violet purple, producing a most lovely effect, sur- 

 passing in beauty any Rose we know. Apart from the odd 

 coloring of the flowers, this is a grand Rose for open- 

 ground culture, being a remarkably strong, healthy grower 

 and a free and continuous bloomer. The flowers are 

 large, full and very double. We give this variety 

 prominence because of its strong beauty and high 

 merit. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for ;^i. Two-year- 

 old plants, 30 cts. each, 



LEO Xm. ^ Splendid New Tea Rose.— Flowers 

 large, full, with well-rounded petals; color white, lightly 

 shaded with straw color, centre light ochre. Buds beautiful, 

 long and pointed, similar to Niphetos. Good wherever 

 planted. A strong grower and a free, continuous bloomer. 



LETTY COLE 3. ^ Large, Sweet and Hand- 

 'some Rose. — With great, large, deep, double, sweet- 

 scented flowers that look more like a Hybrid Perpetual 

 than a Tea Rose. This variety is justly regarded as one 

 of the very finest Roses in cultivation. The flowers are 

 big, full and globular in form, very double, and are pro- 

 duced in wonderful profusion on stiff" stems. The color is 

 a soft, rosy pink, deeply shaded with intense crimson. The 

 tea fragrance is exceedingly sweet. We recommend it as 

 one of the very finest and strongest growing Roses in our 

 list. It will give absolute satisfaction. 15 cts, each ; 4 for 

 50 cts.; 9 for ^i. Two-year-old plants, 30 cts, each, 



LUCIOLE. ^n Excellent Variety.— A grandly 

 beautitul Rose ; the flowers are extra large, somewhat 

 cupped form, but quite full and double; color clear cherry 

 red, with rich golden-yellow centre, elegantly shaded, 

 delightfully perfumed. In the open ground this lovely 

 variety makes a strong, quick growth, producing its flow- 

 ers remarkably early and continuing to bloom profusely 

 throughout the season. 



MAD. AGATHA NABONNAND. _ This superbly 

 beautitul Rose resembles in color the delicate hues seen in 

 the inside of the fairest deep-sea shells ; rosy flesh, bathed 

 in golden amber; immense egg-shaped buds, broad shell- 

 like petals, large, full flowers; exceedingly sweet. Careful 

 trials have proven its value as an outdoor Rose for bedding. 



MADAME CUSIN. ^ Bright Tea Rose.— One of 



the good, strong-growing, free-blooming Roses that we 

 cannot have too many of. The flowers are strikingly beau- 

 tiful ; color bright purplish crimson, base of inside petals 

 sometimes streaked with white. Large, full, double 

 flowers, very sweet and handsome, 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 

 cts.; 9 for $1. Two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



MADAME DE VATRY . Qne of the Brightest 

 Roses, — We consider this splendid variety to be not only 

 one of the brightest, but one of the very best and most satis- 

 factory Roses for general planting, especially outdoors. 

 It makes big clean buds of great beauty and opens well, 

 showing the large, full, double flow^ers to great advantage. 

 The color is a rich crimson scarlet, bright and beautiful. 

 Blooms freely and constantly ; grows strong and healthy ; 

 holds the foliage well. In every way a fine Rose.
