We apprehend there 

 are a great number of 

 our customers unac- 

 quainted with the fact that 

 this is one of the most beauti- 

 in short, a Rose that compares 

 favorably with the celebrated leadmg kinds. We think 

 this variety worthy of recognition, for as far as our speci- 

 mens go, we consider it a most satisfactory Rose for gen- 

 eral planting. The flowers are large, beautiful and finely 

 formed, very double, full and deliciously perfumed. Color 

 bright rosy carmine, deepening to crimson ; elegantly 

 tinged and shaded coppery yellow. It is of strong, sturdy 

 habit of growth, and produces its grand flowers, profusely 

 and constantly, from early Summer until late Fall. We 

 are confident that this variety will please every one who 

 plants it. It cannot be surpassed for massing or bedding, 



J. B, VARONNE. ^ Grand Tea Rose.— We con- 

 sider this one of the best and most satisfactory in the list. 

 The superb extra-long pointed buds are exceedingly beau- 

 tiful; the flowers are extra large, vase-shaped, both full and 

 double. The color is intense scarlety crimson, very rich 

 and bright, and is beautifully shaded with salmon yellow 

 or buff rose at centre; fragrance very sweet. It is a 



strong, vigor- 

 ous grower, 

 and for fine 

 flowers and 

 plenty of them 

 cannot be sur- 

 passed, 15 cts. 

 each; 4 for 

 50 cts. ; 9 for 

 $1. Two-year- 

 old plants, 30 

 cts. each. 



The Roses arrived iu fine condition, and 



please accept thanks for extras. I will 



always, as in the past, know where to get 



fine Koses on own roots and fair treatment. 



Wm. L. Howfll, Geneseo, N. Y, 



I received my Roses some time a.so, and 

 neglected to write and thank you for fine 

 plants you so kindly added. They were 

 all in perfect condition when received and 

 have started nicely. Thank you, once more.

Roses.— Thi 



fail to give splendid satisfaction', 



making thick heavy shoots ; indeed it is remarkable for its 



vigor and vitahty. The color is a rich chamois yellow, 



centre sometimes delicately shaded with coppery rose ;' 



the fragrance is charming. For profusion of bloom 



finely formed flowers and sturdy growth, this variety is 



difficult to surpass. It produces the kind of Roses that 



none of us have ever had enough of, 15 cts. each ; 4 for

LA GRANDEUR, a Beautifully Striped Tea 

 Rose. — We consider this lovely variety one of the best, if 

 not the best striped Rose of any class. The stripes and 

 dashes of white stand out in bold relief against the soft 

 rosy carmine background, which at the base of petals 

 deepens into pale violet purple, producing a most lovely 

 effect, surpassing in beauty any Rose we know. Apart 

 from the odd coloring of the flowers, this is a grand Rose 

 for open-ground culture, being a remarkably strong, 

 healthy grower and a free and continuous bloomer. The 

 flowers are large, full and very double. We give this 

 variety prominence because of its strong beauty and high 

 merit, 15 cts, each; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for ^i. Two-year- 

 old plants, 30 cts, each, 



LEO XIII. A Splendid New Tea Rose.— Flowers 

 large, full, with well-rounded petals; color white, lightly 

 shaded with straw color, centre light ochre. Buds beautiful, 

 long and pointed, similar to Niphetos, Good wherever 

 planted. A strong grower and a free, continuous bloomer. 



LETTY COLES. ^ Large, Sweet and Hand- 

 some Rose. — With great, large, deep, double, sweet- 

 scented flowers that look more like a Hybrid Perpetual 

 than a Tea Rose, This variety is justly regarded as one of 

 the very finest Roses in cultivation. The flowers are big, full 

 and globular in form, very double, and are produced in 

 wonderful profusion on stiff stems. The color is a soft 

 rosy pink, deeply shaded with intense crimson. The tea 

 fragrance is exceedingly sweet. We recommend it as one 

 of the very finest and strongest growing Roses in our list. 

 It will give absolute satisfaction. 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 

 cts.; 9 for ;^i. Two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each.
