 ; very noteworthy, several of the 

 varieties possessing superior excel- 

 ence, prominent among which are Baronne Berge, Maman Cochet, Turner's Crimson Rambler, etc. The 

 entire list is unusually good, and the varieties have many excellent qualities and points of distinctive merit 

 to commend them. The true Rose enthusiast is always anxious to secure the very latest acquisitions in the 

 realm of the Queen of Flowers. The first cost of these European favorites is excessive, but at the price 

 we have put them the matter of giving them a trial is quite inexpensive. We are constantly on 

 the alert to get things new and novel to place before our vast army of customers, but before commend- 

 ing them they are rigidly examined, and to pass muster they must possess indications of merit, adaptability 

 and permanency.

BARONNE BERGE. 



Baronne Berge. 



After careful test and trial we recommend this beautiful Rose as 

 one of the best in the entire list of new varieties for general pur- 

 poses. The flowers are medium to large size and are produced 

 in large numbers. The plant commences blooming when quite 

 young and continues throughout the season. The color is excep- 

 tionally fine and unique — a vivid rose, with bright yellow in the 

 centre, which is altogether remarkable in a Rose. The foliage is 

 clean and healthy. It is a vigorous and thrifty grower and will 

 surely take a place among the best Roses. 30 cts. each ; 4 for $1.
