PRINCESS BONNIE. 



The Only Hardy Ever-blooming Rose. — The 



brightest, hardiest, sweetest, free-blooming Rose in exist- 

 ence ; such is Princess Bonnie. Color solid crimson, deep- 

 er and more vivid than Gen. Jacqueminot; fragrance far 

 sweeter than La France ; produces more perfect flowers 

 than Clotilde Soupert, the most prolific of all Roses. For 

 beauty and exquisite fragrance, it is positively not equaled 

 by any Rose we know, while for continuity of bloom and 

 vigorous, healthy growth — whether planted indoors or in 

 the open ground — it even surpasses a Geranium. // blooms 

 all the time / See complete description, page 26. 15 Cts. 

 each ; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each. 



HAD. PIERRE QUILLOT. 



Yellow and Pink. — This is undoubtedly one of the 

 finest and most beautiful Tea Roses recently introduced ; 

 large, full, globular flowers, having great depth and sub- 

 stance ; color delicate orange yellow, distinctly veined and 

 bordered with clear pink ; altogether unique and remarkable 

 and exceedingly handsome ; it makes fine large pointed 

 buds, is a good healthy grower and a regular and constant 

 bloomer, valuable for forcing and conservatory, as well as 

 for open-ground culture, 15 cts. each; two-year-old 

 plants, 30 cts. each. 



riARIE QUILLOT. 



Snow "White. — We consider this variety one of the 

 grandest Roses of its color in cultivation. A trial will con- 

 vince any one that this indorsement is not extravagant. The 

 flowers are full and extra large, very double and sweetly 

 scented; has many rivals, but no equals for open-ground 

 cultivation. 15 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



PERLE DES JARDINS. 



Pearl of the Garden. — Golden Yellow. — One of the 



very finest and most beautiful Roses of its color ever intro- 

 duced; the demand for it constantly increases as its great 

 value becomes better known, more plants being wanted 

 year by year. The color is clear golden yellow, an inde- 

 scribably rich and beautiful shade, and entirely distinct from 

 any other variety ; the flowers are extra large, full, globu- 

 lar form, with great depth and substance, richly perfumed 

 and exquisitely beautiful in every way. 15 cts. each ; two- 

 year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



PINK LA FRANCE. 



Has become famous as one of the greatest of Roses for 

 general planting. It is exceedingly sweet and handsome, 

 and altogether one of the loveliest and most desirable Roses 

 one can plant. Both flowers and buds are of grand size ; 

 the color is a lovely shade of silvery pink, tinged with crim- 

 son ; delicious fragrance, exceedingly sweet; very full and 

 wonderfully beautiful ; commences to bloom soon after 

 planting and continues until stopped by freezing weather. 

 Hardy with protection. 15 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 

 35 cts. each. 



YELLOW RAHBLER (Aglaia). 



Yellow. — Inasmuch as this is the only hardy yellow 

 climbing Rose in cultivation, it is perhaps a more important 

 introduction than its renowned relative, Crimson Rambler, 

 with which it is identical, with the exception of the flowers, 

 which are deep golden yellow. This is sufficient guarantee 

 of its great value. It is a notable fact that we have no hardy 

 yellow climbing Rose. This feature alone makes it an 

 almost indispensable variety. The habit of growth is more 

 vigorous and better than Crimson Rambler. It is entirely 

 free from mildew and kindred diseases ; it blooms with 

 great freedom, bearing large, pyramidal trusses of golden- 

 yellow flowers, which are cup-shaped, nearly full and very 

 sweet scented. As many as 120 to 150 flowers are fre- 

 quently seen on the same shoot. With us it stood, unpro- 

 tected and uninjured, a continual temperature of from zero 

 to twelve degrees below. A grand Rose that has no equal. 

 15 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 30 CtS. each. 



THE BRIDE. 



Pure White. — • A superb pure white Tea Rose, one of 

 the best of its color; the buds and flowers are unusually 

 large, finely formed, very double and full, and deliciously 

 perfumed; it is a strong, healthy grower and a quick and 

 constant bloomer ; does well in open ground. 15 CtS. each, 

 two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



BON SILENE. 



Rosy Crimson.— Noted for the great size and beauty 

 of its buds; one of the grandest Roses in cultivation. 

 Color deep rose, sometimes bright crimson, occasionally 

 light pale rose ; none better in the open ground. 15 Cts. 

 each ; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



SOUVENIR DE CLAIRVAUX. 



Brig-ht Pink. — This is a remarkably fine Rose, produc- 

 ing flowers similar to Bridesmaid ; the growth is extra strong, 

 fully as vigorous as Mamali Cochet, one of the strongest 

 growing Roses. For general cultivation this is a very fine 

 Rose, and certainly cannot be surpassed. The color is bright 

 pinkish rose, shaded lighter or darker according to the sea- 

 son. They are large, full and double, and remain on the 

 bush for a long time. It is a constant, profuse bloomer, 

 and very fragrant, A Rose that we recommend very highly, 

 as it is exceptionally good in every way, 15 ctS. each ; 

 two-year-old plants, 30 ctS. each, 



CLOTILDE SOUPERT. 



White and Pink.— So well known that a description is 

 almost unnecessary. It is known the world over as one of 

 the best Roses for open-ground cultivation, A strong dwarf 

 grower, producing cluster after cluster of the finest formed 

 flowers imaginable ; large, round and flat with beautifully 

 imbricated petals; full and double, and deliciously sweet. 

 Color, ivory white, shading toward the centre to silvery pink.
