aNDER this heading we offer, after careful test, the list of all the new Roses introduced 

 during the past few years up to 1900. These varieties in most instances are the result of 

 scientific hybridization, and represent the brains and skill of the most celebrated 

 Rosarians of both this country and Europe. Among these will be found novelties of rare 

 merit which cannot be had elsewhere. From all quarters of the globe they have been collected 

 and their culture has been our special care. 



Heretofore the demand has been greater than the supply, but we have been successful 

 in growing a splendid supply for this season's trade. A professional grower looking through 

 the trial grounds where a complete collection of these are planted, remarked that "if the 

 public knew how magnificent these Roses are you wouldn't be able to supply one-fifth of 

 the demand." If you have any misgivings as to their beauty and merit, set them aside and 

 :give some of the New Roses a trial. Their remarkable beauty, form and color eflPects will 

 ^astonish you. 



NOTICE 



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

 3iounceable 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 

 Mtached. Bear this in mind. After the name of each variety we give the name of the introducer.
