PRINCESS BONNIE. 



The Only Hardy Ever-Blooming Red Rose.— The brightest, 

 hardiest, sweetest, free-blooming Rose in existence; such is 

 Princess Bonnie. Color solid crimson, deeper and more 

 vivid than Gen. Jacqueminot; fragrance far sweeter than 

 La France; produces more perfect flowers than Clotilde 

 Soupert, the most prolific of all Roses. For beauty and 

 exquisite fragrance, it is positively not equaled by any Rose 

 we know^ while for continuity of bloom and vigorous, healthy 

 growth— whether planted indoors or in the open ground — it 

 even surpasses a Geranium. It blooms all the timel See 

 complete description, page 33. 15 cts. each; two-year-old 

 plants, 30 cts. each. 



BRIDESMAID. 



One of the Finest Outdoor Roses. — A delightful Tea Rose- 

 a sport from the old and popular pink Tea, Catharine Mermet' 

 but of a fine, clear, dark pink, much deeper and more con- 

 stant in color than Mermet. 10 cts. each; two-j^ear-old 

 plants, 30 cts. each. 



MARIE GUILLOT. 



Snow White. — We consider this variety one of the grandest 

 Roses of its color in cultivation. A trial will convince any 

 one that this endorsement is not extravagant. The flowers 

 are full and extra large, very double and sweetly scented; 

 has many rivals, but no equals for open-ground cultivation. 

 10 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. 



This is a free-blooming hardy Rose of great merit, intro- 

 duced recently. Flowers of large size; color a lovely clear, 

 deep pink. One of the best of all Roses for outdoor cultiva- 

 tion. 15 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



DEVONIENSIS. 



The Charming Magnolia 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 partial to, it is Devoniensis. 

 It is fine anywhere. Planted outdoors 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 deliciously scented. This is the one Rose that 

 should be seen in every garden. 15 cts. each; two-year-old 

 plants, 30 cts. each. 



CHRISTINE DE NOUE. 



A 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 sometimes streaked with silvery white ; the petals are 

 finely imbricated; flowers deliciously sweet. 10 cts. each; 

 two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



GOLDEN GATE. 



A magnificent Rose, with large, full, finely formed flowers; 

 buds long and beautiful. Color rich creamy white, ex- 

 quisitely tinged with golden yellow and clear rose, making a 

 bower of indescribable beauty. Blooms freely. 15 cts. 

 each ; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. 



One of the most beautiful of all Roses for open-ground 

 culture; it is a strong, healthy grower, and as hardy as any 

 of the Hybrid Perpetual Roses, while it blooms wi+h unbroken 

 continuity from early Spring until severe frosts; in fact, it is 

 as free-blooming as any Tea Rose. It is celebrated the world 

 over for its elegant, large, pointed buds and large, full, double 

 flowers. Color delicate, creamy white; deliciously fragrant. 

 As a cut flower it stands without peer. It is the parent of 

 our celebrated new Hardy Climbing Rose Mrs. Robert Peary, 

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



CLIMBING CLOTILDE SOUPERT. 



A climbing offspring of Clotilde Soupert, and one of the 

 grandest Roses in cultivation. This variety has the same vig- 

 orous constitution as its parent, combined with it.s truly won- 

 derful freedom of bloom and extreme hardiness. In a single 

 season small plants will grow 15 to 25 feet, producing cluster 

 after cluster of deliciously sweet, round, full and double flowers 

 cf a magnificent ivory-white, shading towards the centre to 

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



MADAM BADIN. 



A fine variety. Flowers large and full; color bright car- 

 mine, centre rose shaded with delicate violet. Buds very long 

 and graceful. Better than Madam Cusin or Mrs. Pierpont 

 Morgan. Habit of growth and bloom free. 20 cts. each; 

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



GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE. 



A fine new Rose of great value to the general planter. 

 Vigorous grower, and valuable the whole year around. Com- 

 mences to bloom almost as soon as set out, and continues 

 until severe freezing weather. Ranks with Princess Bonnie 

 and Clotilde Soupert for freedom of bloom. Flowers are 

 large, full and double, beautiful both in bud and full-blown 

 flower. Color pure orange yellow. 15 cts. each; two-year- 

 old plants, 30 cts. each.

 Rose is rich golden-yellow; a strong, healthy and vigorous 

 grower, immense bloomer, bearing flowers and buds early 

 and late; the flowers are very deep, rich and full, excellent 

 substance, full and sweet; surely one of the best and most 

 beautiful Tea Roses for general planting ever introduced.

 standing the Winters here uninjured in open ground without 

 protection; blooming nicely ^11 through the hottest part of 

 the Summer. 10 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each.
