NEW ROSES. 



NEW AND RARE HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES— Continued. 



ROGER LAMBELm, No. 120 (Verdier).— This 

 is a decided curiosity among Roses and a novelty of 

 most striking order. The color is very dark crimson 

 with narrow band of white forming a sharp contrast. 

 The petals fringed irregularly like a double Petunia 

 or a Carnation. Odd and unique. 25 cts. each; 3 

 for 60 cts. ; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each. 



ROBERT DUNCAN, No. 121 (A. Dickson & Sons).— Very dis- 

 tinct and of vigorous growth; flowers abundantly. Flow- 

 ers large, perfectly formed and of good substance; petals 

 large and shell-shaped; color bright, rosy crimson. Splen-' 

 did. 50 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each. 



SAUL'S STRIPED, No. 122 (Saul).— This is the most remark- 

 able Rose that we have ever had to do with. The flowers 

 are away ahead of anything yet seen in striped Roses, 

 even surpassing Vick's Caprice. The color is deep crimson 

 striped with white; the flowers are large, double and of 

 splendid substance. One of the most extraordinary striped 

 Roses in cultivation. 60 cts. each; 2 for $1; two-year-old 

 plants, $1 each. 



TOM WOOD, No. 123 (Dickson & Sons).— A new 

 Irish variety of great merit either for garden decora- 

 tion or for cut flowers. The color is cherry red; 

 petals large, shell-shaped, and of immense sub- 

 stance; flowers very large, full and perfectly formed. 

 Growth vigorous and of free-branching habit ; flow- 

 ering freely and continuously from early in Summer 

 until late in Autumn. The foliage is distinct and 

 proof against mildew. 30 cts. each; 2 for 50 cts.; 

 two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each. 



SPENSER, No. 124 (Wm. Paul & Son) .-Large, full and 

 double; beautiful satin pmk, outer petals shaded and 

 white. Unrivaled by any of its color. 30 cts. each ; 2 for 

 50 cts. ; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each. 



A RARE OLD ROSE-YORK AND LANCASTER, No. 125.— 

 For nearly twenty years we have had this Rose in our col- 

 lection endeavoring to build up a stock, but inasmuch as it 

 is a shy rooter we have been unable to offer it, and now 

 have it only in limited quantities. This is perhaps the 

 rarest and most extraordinary Rose in cultivation. It can- 

 not be had elsewhere in America. It belongs to the Centi- 

 folia, a type celebrated for the exquisite fragrance of its 

 flowers. It dates back to the time of the War of Roses 

 between the Royal Houses of York and Lancaster. Said 

 to have originated when these warring factions became 

 united, its colors representing the white of the Yorkists and 

 the red of the Lancastrians. The color is remarkable, red 

 and white, sometimes blotched and sometimes striped ; full 

 and double. Perfectly hardy. First size, $2 each; larger 

 plants, limited supply, $3 each. 



AYRSHIRE ROSE-DUNDEE RAMBLER, No. 

 126. — This is not a new Rose, but is very rare. It 

 is a running Rose, rather slender in growth and an 

 exceedingly rapid climber. For planting in rough 

 situations where others will not thrive, for covering 

 banks, or for running up old trees or pillars, this va- 

 riety is excellent. It is also good when used as a 

 Weeping Rose — in short, this variety is perhaps un- 

 excelled for general purposes. The flowers are very 

 pretty, being white in color and semi-double. Young 

 plants grow 15 to 20 feet in one season. Perfectly 

 hardy. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts. ; 7 for $1 ; two-year 

 old plants, 35 cts. each. 



New Hybrid Polyanfba Roses^ 



CLOTILDE PFITZER, No. 127 (Pfitzer) .— Polyantha. Un- 

 usually large flowers produced in clusters; of distinct flat 

 form and fragrant. Color pure white. Free-blooming and 

 hardy. 20 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each. 



ETOILE DE MAI, No. 128 (Bernaix).— A con- 

 tinuous and persistent bloomer, being literally cov- 

 ered with bloom the whole season. The buds are a 

 beautiful nankeen yellow, changing to creamy white, 

 with lemon centre in the open flower. 15 cts. each; 

 4 for 50 cts. ; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



LA PROSPERINE, No. 129 (Ketten) .—Flowers peach red, 

 centre chrome orange edged with white rose color. 

 Odd and beautiful. Med um-size flower, fairly well filled; 

 fragrant; blooms continuously. 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 

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



LILLIPUT, No. 130 (G. Paul & Son).— A good addition to the 

 dwarf miniature Roses, producing bunches of small, ro- 

 sette-shaped flowers; bright cerise carmine flushed with 

 crimson; distinct in color. A great improvement over 

 Blanche Rehatel. 20 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 40 

 cts. each. 



MA FILLETTE, No. 131 (Soupert & Netting).— Flowers 

 small; bush close and dense; blooms in clusters. Outer 

 petals broad; peach red on yellow ground, centre brilliant 

 carmine ; fragrant. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts. ; two-year-old 

 plants, 35 cts. each.

PERLE DES ROUGES, No. 132 (Dubreuil).— This splendid 

 new variety is fittingly named the "Pearl of the Reds." 

 The color is a deep velvety crimson, very odd and beauti- 

 ful. The flowers are of medium size, double, and are pro- 

 duced in clusters and with great abundance throughout the 

 entire growing season. 20 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 

 40 cts. each. 



PRINCESS VICTORIA LUISE VON PREUSSEN, No. 133 

 (Strassheim). — A fine outdoor Rose, notwithstanding its 

 rather heavy title. Grows bushy and dense, blooms in 

 large trusses, color carnation rose, centre carmine passing 

 into purple. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts. ; two-year-old plants, 

 40 cts. each. 



SNOWBALL, No. 134.— Produces its snow- 

 white Camellia-like blooms in clusters of 25 to 50,

 delicate odor. Splendid. 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 

 cts. ; two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each.

 satisfied. Yours truly, J. Kennedy Stout.
