 petual in Flower and Foliage. Is Hardy— In this 

 grand old variety we have a Rose of no ordinary excellence. 

 It is entitled to a place among Ever-blooming Roses equal 

 to that which General Jacqueminot takes among Hybrid 

 Perpetuals. Indeed it is not unlike a Hybrid Perpetual in 

 the extra-large, full and loosely formed crimson-scarlet 

 double flowers, enchanting fragrance, intensity of color 

 large, handsome foliage, and extreme vigor

 profuse blbomer, and for butdoor culture canno 

 celled by any Rose of its color. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.;

MARECHAL ROBERT . ^ Charming Variety. 

 — We select this variety from among hundreds as extra 

 good. The flowers are full, double and sweet ; they are 

 borne in abundance, on long stiff stems, all through the 

 growing season. The color is pure white, faintly tinged 

 with blush and yellow ; a good, healthy grower, and alto- 

 gether a pleasing and satisfactory Rose.

the best and freest flowering, blooming Roses in cultivation, 

 equally good for open-ground cultivation and pot culture. 

 Outdoors it is especially good, being unusually hardy, very 

 vigorous and a certain, continuous and free bloomer. On 

 a siii'gle plant only nine months old 143 buds and flowers 

 were counted. Flowers large, full and double ; color 

 creamy white.
