HARDY EVERBLOOMING TEA ROSES— 

 Continued. 



Mrs. F. F. Thompson 



\ sport from the lovely Mrs. Geo. Shawyer, and 

 an exact duplicate, except in color, which is a lovely 

 shade of shell pink, with a deep glowing heart ot 

 bright pink, which brightens up the flower wonder- 

 full v. Like Shawyer, it is a vigorous grower, and 

 blooming- constantly from early Spring until late 

 Fall. Hardv almost everywhere. An excellent one 

 for cutting, as the lovely buds hold their shape for 

 an unusual length of time, and opening into such 

 immense, full and double blooms. Price, first size 

 plants, 30 cts. each, postpaid; four for SI. 00. Two- 

 year-old plants, 75 cts. each, by express. Ail on 

 their own roots. 



Mrs. George Shawyer. This is one of the newer va- 

 rieties introduced by the growers of Lady Hillmg- 

 ' don. We have not seen a Rose that has met with 

 such universal appreciation by both the amateui 

 and professional grower, and has won awards in 

 almost every place shown since it was introduced, 

 both in this country and Europe. The color is oi» 

 very hard to describe, being a shade of brilhan; 

 clear rose or bright peach-pink. It is a wonderfu: 

 grower and bloomer, producing great numbers ol 

 strong shoots, each shoot tipped with a bud. Ihest 

 shoots form the stem, from 3 to 4 feet in length 

 The flowers are very large, well formed and full 

 petals of good substance. A very fine garden 

 Rose, as well as a forcing Rose. Price, strong 

 pot-grown plants, 25 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 

 50 cts. each. The stock is grown on own roots. 

 The Queen. Of vigorous and healthy growth, sweet- 

 ly scented. A constant bloomer, producing profuse 

 crops of buds and flowers; the buds are well- 

 shaped, with large petals of best substance. White. 

 Mad. de Watteville. The Tulip Rose. The color is a 

 munificent shade of creamy-yellow, richly colored 

 with rosy-blush ; the large petals are bordered with 

 bright crimson, giving it a very striking and beau- 

 tiful appearance. 

 Wm R. Smith. Especially suited for outdoor planting 

 and cutting purposes. The soft blending of the sal- 

 mon-pinks, rose-pinks, and the magnificent flesh tints 

 . resemble the blush of a maiden's cheek. 

 Francois Dubreuil. Of strong growth and a constant 

 bloomer, producing deep crimson flowers, with rich 

 velvety shadings, which are very double and large. 

 Madame Pierre Guillot. This is a very remarkable and. 

 exceedingly handsome variety. Color delicate orange- 

 yellow, veined and bordered with clear pink. 

 Bervl. Large, full and fragrant; color deep apricot or 

 coppery-yellow. The flowers and foliage present a fine 

 contrast. 

 White Bougere. There is no Rose which exceeds this 

 one for open-ground culture. The pure ivory-white 

 flowers are unusually large, deep, full and double. 

 borne on long, stiff stems throughout the season in 

 great profusion. 

 Madame Camille. The color is a pale rosy-flush, shaded 



with salmon and lavender. 

 Freiherr von Marschall. As an outdoor Rose it has no 

 superior. It has wonderfully beautiful foliage and 

 produces large, full, beautifully shaped flowers, which 

 are borne in profusion all through the season. The 

 color is bright red, one of the best red Tea Roses 

 that is known. 

 Souv. de Catherine Guillot. Flowers large, full, finely 

 shaped and very fragrant. Free bloomer and vigor- 

 ous. Color coppery-carmine ; center shaded orange. 

 Richly colored and thoroughly distinct. 

 Souv. de Pierre Notting. This beautiful Rose is an in- 

 troduction of one of the largest firms of Franc, and 

 has not been exceeded by any Rose from that country. 

 It is of strong, bushy habit, and has won numerous 

 gold medals and awards of merit The flowers art- 

 very large, well-filled and jpen easily; color apricot- 

 yellow, tinged with golden, and mixed with orange- 

 vellow ; edge of petal shaded carmine-rose. Strong 

 first-size plants, 20 cts. each; larger plants, .3(1 cts.

Mrs. F. F. Thompson. 



Perle des Jardins 



Pearl of the Garden. The color is a clear golden- 

 yellow, of a beautiful shade, and is entirely distinct 

 from any other variety; the flowers are large, full, of 

 globular form, with great depth and substance, richly 

 perfumed, and very beautiful in every way. 



Souvenir de Francois Gaulain. The color is unusually 

 bright, and quite remarkable for a Tea Rose — rich 

 velvety crimson ; the flowers are very fragrant, large, 

 full and very double, possessing a depth that makes 

 their color all the more attractive ; quite hardy, 

 healthy and strong. A Rose of great value to the 

 home grower. The strong, healthy plants are quite 

 hardy. 



Lady Hillingdon. One of the latest introductions of 

 the Tea class, and has taken the medal over all yellow 

 Roses, the color being one almost beyond description, 

 apricot-yellow shaded to orange on the outer edge of 

 the petal, becoming deeper and more intense toward 

 the center of the bloom. The color does no*, fade af- 

 ter the bloom is cut, but invariably becomes darker. 

 Buds produced on long, strong, wiry stem-, well above 

 the foliage, producing a slender and graceful effect. 

 You will find in this Rose the color that has long 

 been desired. A strong, hearty, healthful grower. 

 First-size plants, 25 cts. each; two-year-old, 50 cts. 

 each. 



Reine Karola de Saxe. Large, double flowers: blush- 

 white, shaded delicate pink. 



Rose Gubert. Color canary -yellow, deepening at center; 

 buds long, full and large. A splendid grower and 

 free bloomer. 



Souvenir d'un Ami. A vigorous grower and profuse 

 bloomer ; for growing in open ground it is simply lux- 

 uriant. The flowers are large and globular, similar 

 to that of the Queen, except in color ; very full and 

 sweet : in color is a deep rosy flesh, beautifully shaded 

 with rich carmine; edges and reverse of petals silver- 

 rose.
