New and Rare Hybrid Perpetual Roses— continued. 



Mrs. Cleveland No. lOe (Gill).— Although having 



the same name as No. 105 these 



varieties are entirely distinct. This grand variety is 

 similar to General Jacqueminot, but more strikingly red. 

 Flowers very large, cup shape, full and double ; firmly 

 made, keeps its color well after being cut. Was awarded 

 gold medal by California State Floral Society. 30 CtS. 

 each ; 2 for 50 cts.; two-year-old plants, 50 Cts. each, 



Mrs. F. W. Sanford No. 107 (Sanford, Curtis & 



Co.j. — A white Mrs. John 



Laing! Will surely become famous. It is a sport or 

 offspring from that great variety, and with the exception 

 of color of flower is identical. 'The color is whitish with 

 tender, rose-blush shading. A great Rose. $1 each. 



Mrs. R. Q. Sharman Crawford No.iosfDick- 



son & Sons). — 



Deep, rosy pink ; outer petals pale flush ; base of petals 

 white, large and of perfect form. Received gold medal 

 of the National Rose Society. 25 cts. each ; 3 for 60 

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



Oscar Cordel No. 109 (P. Lambert).— Bush very 



■ strong, dense and bushy ; shoots straight; 



strong spines thinly placed; leaf and growth as Mer- 

 veille de Lyon ; flowers very large, full, round and cup- 

 shaped ; petals large and round; color bright carmine, 

 very rich. Sweet scented and free flowering. 50 cts. 

 each ; two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each. 



Paul's Early Blush No. no (G.Paul & Son).

respect— the kind we have too few of. Color light 

 silvery blush ; large, fine, bold shape, producing its 

 flowers among the first and continuing throughout

 son, tinted rosy lake, very distinct. 30 cts. each ; two- 

 year-old plants, 50 cts. each. 



Queen of Bedders No. 112 (Noble).— if we were 

 confined to the selection of 



one Rose in the Hybrid Perpetual list we would un 

 questionably select this variety as the best. It is 

 almost as free-blooming as a Tea Rose, bearing its 

 large, full, double, vivid crimson flowers in the most 

 wonderful profusion throughout the year. We have 

 not offered it for several years, building up a stock 

 which is as yet very limited. This variety is very 

 scarce and we believe cannot be had true to name in 

 this country. 40 cts. each ; 2 for 75 cts.; two- 

 vear-old plants, 75 cts. each. 



Queen of Waltham No. n3 (Wm. Paul & 



Son). — A grand new va- 

 riety of vigorous habit of growth. Beautiful rosy 

 cherry, a distinct and lovely color. In sunny weather 

 the circumference of the petals becomes darker than 

 the base — a novel and strikingly beautiful feature. 

 Large and full. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for 

 $1 ; two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each. 



Rev. Alan Cheales No. n4 (g. Paul & Son).—

 and free blooming. 50 cts. each.

 peach color, nicely shaded with salmon- 

 rose, just the color of the rising sun; flowers large and 

 full. Very sweet. 35 cts. each. 



Roger Lambelin No. lie (Verdier). — This is a 



decided curiosity among Roses 



and a novelty of most striking order. The color is 

 very dark crimson with narrow band of white form- 

 ing a sharp contrast. The petals fringed irregularlv 

 like a double Petunia or a Carnation, Odd and 

 unique. 25 cts. each ; 3 for 60 cts,; two-year-old 

 plants, 60 cts. each.

Saul's Striped No. nS (Saul).— This is the most 



remarkable Rose that we have ever 



had to do with. The flowers are away ahead of any- 

 thing yet seen in striped Roses, even surpassing Vick's 

 Caprice. The color is deep crimson striped with white ; 

 the flowers are large, double and of splendid substance. 

 One of the most extraordinary striped Rosesin cultivation. 

 60 cts. each ; 2 for $1 ; two-year-old plants, $1 each.

 very full, and for form, substance and smoothness of 

 petal unequaled. Splendid. 40 cts. each. 



Tom Wood No. 121 (Dickson & Sons).— A new 



Irish variety, of great merit either for 



garden decoration or for cut flowers. The color is 

 cherry red; petals large, shell-shaped, and of immense 

 substance ; flowers very large, full and perfectly 

 formed. Growth vigorous and of free-branching 

 habit, flowering freely and continuously from early 

 in Summer until late in Autumn. The foliage is 

 distinct and proof against mildew. . 30 cts. each ; 2 

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



A RARE OLD ROSE— York and Lancaster. 



No. 122. — For nearly twenty years we have had this Rose 

 in our collection endeavoring to build up a stock, but inas- 

 much as it is a shy rooter we have been unable to oiTer it, 

 and now have it only in limited quantities. This is per- 

 haps the rarest and most extraordinary Rose in cultiva- 

 tion. It cannot be had elsewhere in America. It belongs 

 to the Centifolia, a type celebrated for the exquisite fra- 

 grance of its flowers. It dates back to the time of the 

 War of Roses between the Royal Houses of York and 

 Lancaster. Said to have originated when these warring 

 factions became united, its colors representing the white 

 of the Yorkists and the red of the Lancastrians. The 

 color is remarkable, red and white, sometimes blotched 

 and sometimes striped ; full and double. Perfectly 

 hardy. While the stock lasts we off"er young plants at 

 $2 each ; larger plants, in limited supply, $3 each. 



AYRSHIRE ROSE — Dundee Rambler 



No. 123, — This is not a new Rose, but is very rare. 

 It is a running Rose, rather slender in growth and an 

 exceedingly rapid climber. For planting in rough 

 situations where others will not thrive, for covering 

 banks, or for running up old trees or pillars, this 

 variety is excellent. It is also good when used as a 

 Weeping Rose — in short, this variety is perhaps 

 unexcelled for general purposes. The flowers are 

 very pretty, being white in color and semi-double. 

 Young plants grow 15 to 20 feet in one season. 

 Perfectly hardy. 20 cts, each ; 3 for 50 ctS. ; 7 

 for $1; two-year-old plants, 35 CtS, each.
