EVER-BLOOMING TEA ROSES— CONTINUED. 





A fine new Rose of 

 great value to the gen- 

 eral planter. 1 1 grows with 

 great vigor, and is one of the 

 Roses that is valuable the whole year 

 round. When placed in open ground it 

 quickly makes a large bush, and commences to bloom 

 almost as soon as set out, continuing up until severe freez- 

 ing weather. It produces its lovely flowers so freely, that 

 in this respect it ranks among such Roses as Princess 

 Bonnie and Clotilde Soupert. As a pot Rose for Winter 

 blooming it is especially good. The flowers are large, full 

 and double ; both in bud and full-blown flower they are 

 beautiful. Color orange yellow, and as the weather 

 becomes cooler the shade deepens until it reaches rich 

 salmon tints. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for j^i. Two- 

 year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



BARONESS M. WERNER. ^ Noble Rose.— This 

 is a grand variety m every way. With its large, full, broad- 

 petaled flowers, which are produced in truly remarkable 

 profusion, it is indeed difficult to find its equal. The 

 fragrance is delightful, while the color is rich cream'y white, 

 delicately tinged with salmon and rose. Wherever planted 

 It will give absolute satisfaction. 



: BEAUTE INCONSTANTE. Inconstant Beauty. 



— This is by all odds the most remarkable Rose that we 

 have ever seen. It is odd, unique and beautiful. A single 

 bush will bear at the same time flowers of various colors, 

 ranging from orange to capuchin red and carmine, making 

 the appearance that of a number of varieties blooming at 

 once. The buds are particularly beautiful, large, pointed 

 and well made ; when opening they are perfect; splendid 

 ■for cutting. Specially fine for open-ground culture, where 

 its variable flowers are produced continually throughout 

 the season. Will excite admiration wherever seen. 15 cts. 

 each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 10 for ^i. Two-year-old plants, 30 

 cts, each. 



BOUGERE. Old and Famous. — Any one who has 



seen this grand old sort growing in open ground will agree 



with us that it deserves the brightest words of praise we 

 can give it. Like Bon Silene, it is old, having been intro- 

 duced in 1832. Since then it has been tried and found to 

 be of rare value for general planting. The flowers are 

 unusually large, deep, full and double ; they are supported 

 on long stiff stems, and are produced in bountiful abun- 

 dance throughout the growing season. In color they are 

 bronze rose or violet crimson, delicately shaded with lilac ; 

 exceedingly sweet; remarkably hardy. 



COQUETTE DE LYON. One of the Best Yellow 

 Roses. — This exquisite variety is so well and favorably 

 known that a detailed description is hardly required. It is 

 unquestionably one of the finest yellow Tea Roses in culti- 

 vation for open-ground culture. The color is a pure 



canary yellow — wonderfully beautiful and distinct. The 

 flowers are extra large, finely formed, deep and double. 



The buds are exceedingly graceful — long and pointed. 



Unlike some yellow Roses, it is a strong, vigorous grower 

 and a constant and steady bloomer. We sell thousands of 

 this grand sort annually. 



CATHARINE MERMET. Distinct and Beauti- 

 ful. — A very beautiful Tea Rose, valued highly for its 

 elegant buds; color clear shining pink, with delicately 

 shaded amber and fawn centre ; large globular flowers ; 

 one of the very finest varieties; a strong healthy grower 

 and a good bloomer ; equally desirable both for open- 

 ground planting and forcing under glass. 



CHARLES LEGRADY. ^ Fine Bedding Rose. 



— This splendid Rose is almost unexcelled for general 

 planting, particularly for bedding purposes; color fine 

 chamois red, richly shaded with violet crimson ; very sweet 

 and a constant bloomer; we recommend it as extra fine. 



CHRISTINE DE NOUE. ^ New Rose of Great 

 Promise. — A constant and very free bloomer ; the flowers 

 are large and handsome ; buds long and finely pointed ; 

 color clear rich maroon or deep purplish red, centre some- 

 times streaked with silvery white ; the petals are finely 

 imbricated ; flowers deliciously sweet. 



CORNELIA COOK, a Rose with Few Equals.— 

 For many years this beautiful Tea Rose has been one of 

 our most popular varieties. We have always recommended 

 it because of its superior merits. It is a rapid, strong- 

 growing variety, with splendid foliage, that rarely suffers 

 from the attacks of insects. For outdoor cultivation it is 

 hard to beat. The flowers are borne with great profu- 

 sion, and in form, size and substance have every feature to 

 make them desirable ; they are perfectly double. The 

 color is pure creamy white, sometimes faintly tinged with 

 pale lemon and blush. Indeed, this is a most beautiful 

 Rose. 



DEVONIENSIS. The Charming Mag-nolia Rose. 

 — We doubt if there is scarcely any one who does not know 

 of the beauty of this famous old favorite. There is no 

 other variety like it, and none more beautiful or desirable. 

 If there is one variety more than another that we are par- 

 tial to it is Devoniensis. It is fine anywhere. Planted out- 

 doors it gives an abundance of its beautiful flowers all 

 through the season. The color is a lovely creamy white 

 with rosy centre ; large, very full and double, and deli- 

 ciously scent- 

 ed. This is 

 the one Rose 

 that should be 

 seen in every 

 garden. 15 

 cts. each; 4 

 for 50 cts.; 9

 y e a r - o I d

 ceipt of plants from you. They reached
