Reichsgraf E. V. Kesselstatt No. 50 (Lam- 



. bert). — At a cost 



of $s per plant, we imported this superb new variety two 

 years ago. We paid this high price because our agents 

 recommended it as being of unusual merit. While the 

 name is very much against its becoming popular, it will 

 be found to be of great beauty and value. Flowers 

 large, very double; petals broad and nicely rounded; 

 color brilliant, light carmine, passing into a decided 

 rose, with clear, white ground; wide, dark-red edge; 

 ^ilways bloomi7tg. Bud long, dark-red, with whitish-yel- 

 Jow ground, on long, straight stem. Very fragrant ; 

 splendid, strong grower; a glorious new Rose; the best 

 of hundreds of seedlings. 30 Cts. each ; 2 for 50 

 cts.; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each.

rich, golden yellow with deeper 



shades toward centre. Buds are very long and pointed ; 

 flowers full and double. Rich bloomer. Has created 

 much enthusiasm wherever seen. 25 CtS. each ; 3 for 

 60 cts.; two-year-old plants, 50 Cts. each. 



Souv. de Leonie Viennat No. 52 (Bernaix).—

description: "Bush very viney, stem erect, flower very 

 large, elegant form, very fine, good lasting qualities.

 Chinese rose to red, reverse silvery, inner petals numer- 

 ous, flushed with chamois rose." 20 CtS. each; 3 for

ting). — This is one of the 



daintiest and most attractive Roses in our collection. It

 formed ; outer petals large, in centre narrow ; color

White riaman Cochet No. 54 (Cook).— sent 



out by the celebrated 



Rose grower, John Cook, Baltimore, Md., the orig- 

 inator of Mario7i Diii^ee and many other valuable 

 Roses. This is a superb variety, and to see it in 

 bloom one is lost to find words to express its won- 

 derful beauty. It is identical with its parent, Maman 

 Cochet (the queen of all pink garden Roses), except 

 in color of flower, which is snow white, sometimes 

 faintly tinged with the faintest suggestion of pale 

 blush. It has the same freedom of bloom, magnifi- 

 cent form of buds and flowers, which are marvel- 

 ously beautiful in their perfection ; the flowers are 

 luge and very double, with petals of unusually 

 heavy texture, making it of more than ordinary value 

 in the open ground. It has the vigor of an oak, 

 with large, heavy foliage, which is impervious to dis- 

 ease. Hardy with protection. Of extraordinary
