* New Crimson Tea Rose, 



Marion Dingee. 



This grand new Rose was raised 

 from seed of the beautiful Countess de 

 Casserta crossed with Duchess of Ed- 

 inburgh. It is a strong, vigorous 

 grower, making a handsome graceful 

 bush, with large, thick, deep green 

 leaves ; the flowers are large, beautifully cup-shape 

 moderately full, and borne in wonderful profusion all 

 through the growing season; in fact, we scarcely 

 know of any other Rose that will produce so many 

 perfect flowers in a given time ; the flowers are borne 

 nearly upright on long straight stems, and are of ex- 

 cellent substance, having thick, leathery petals which 

 hold their foim and color for a long time ; it is deep 

 brilliant crimson, one of the darkest, if not the very darkest and richest 

 colored Tea Rose in existence. Its flowers can be seen in great profusion and 

 wonderful perfection in the open ground, where it is particularly valuable. 20 cts. 

 each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1. 



* Virginia. 



This elegant Rose, which we introduced last year for the first time, is the result 

 of a cross between Safrano and Marechal Niel. We consider it one of the most 

 promising Tea Roses of modern introduction. It is a vigorous grower of bushy 

 habit ; the blooms are large, double, finely formed, lasting and of excellent sub- 

 stance, often remaining on the bush until dried up ; color a light yellow with a 

 tinge of saffron at the centre, and reverse of petals a pinkish cast; perfume, a 

 delicate and delightful tea scent. Price, 25 cts. each ; 5 for $1. 



Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) can toe furnished 

 in two-year-old plants at 30 cts. eaclt ; these plants, 

 owing to their size, cannot toe sent by Mail, and will toe 

 sent by Express at purchaser's expense tf
