A Grand Old Rose. 

 This remarkable Rose was introduced in 1839, and up to 

 this time no new variety has superseded it, a fact that bears 

 testimony of its valuable qualities. It is superb 

 in every way. Perhaps the most noted feature is the 

 immense size and beauty of its buds, which cannot 

 be surpassed for bouquets and deco- 

 rative purposes. The color is deep 

 i8;w^ rose, sometimes bright rosy crimson, 

 ?^-. occasionally pale light rose. In the 

 open ground it grows to perfection, 

 producing crop after crop of its beau- 

 tiful flowers in unbroken continuity, 

 from early Spring until late in Autumn. 

 Of all the Teas there are none better(see 



I,A PRINCMSS VMRA. 



A Splendid Outdoor Rose. 



We have had in our trial grounds several hundred varieties 

 of Roses. For strong, clean growth, freedom and constancy 

 of bloom and beauty of flower and color, this variety is one 

 of the best. Without doubt this is a grand Rose for general 

 planting, particularly for bedding in the open ground. The 

 flowers are large, finely made and open beautifully; when 

 fully open there appears to be a flower within a flower, so 

 perfect is the form. The color is rich ivory white, shaded 

 and veined with fine coppery yellow, and delicately penciled 

 with pale blush. A truly grand and beautiful Rose, and one 

 that by virtue of its great excellence ranks among the best in 

 ctiltivatipn. 



FRANCOIS DTJBRBVIL. 



A T^vid Crimson Rose. 

 Flowers large, double and full. Color deep, vivid crimson 

 vnth rich velvety shadings. The buds are large, long and 

 pointed. Strong grower and a free, continuous bloomer. 

 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1; two-year-old plants, 

 36 cts. each. 



COLLINSVILLE, OhIO. 



Gentlemen: — The plants I ordered from you came 

 very quickly and in prime condition. They are all grow- 

 ing with scarcely a bit of check due to transplanting. 

 Even the critical man-of -all-work .said he never set out 

 "no better plants nowhere," which, 1 assm-e you, is the 

 highest of praise. Very sincerely yours, 



Anna Lee Scott. 



BRIDESMAID. 



One of the Finest Outdoor Roses. 

 A delightful new 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; very desirable; 

 does exceedingly well in the open ground, and 

 is also valuable for forcing (see cut) . 



MADAMM LOUIS PATRY. 



An Extremely Beautiful New Tea Rose. 

 The buds are fine, large and tapering, of excellent form 

 and substance; extra-large, well-filled flowers, opening 

 nicely ; color rich silvery pink, delicately shaded with fine rosy 

 blush ; deliciously tea scented ; very double and attractive ; 

 we consider this one of the best new Tea Roses ; a good com- 

 pact grower and constant bloomer (see cut). 



DUCHMSSF) MARIM S Ah VI ATI 



A Lovely Free-Blooming Rose. 



This is a grand Rose of an attractive color, beautiful 

 chrome yellow, elegantly tinged with orange passing to buff, 

 prettily flushed with pale rose; buds and outer petals ex- 

 quisite orange red. The flowers extra large, quite full and 

 very sweet. It is particularly good in open ground, being 

 quite hardy, a free and constant bloomer and a sturdy, \ag- 

 orous grower. 



ERNnST MBTZ. 



A Strong-Growing, Free-Blooming Rose. 



This is an exceedingly fine Rose of great merit, with large, 

 handsome full flowers and beautiful, long-pointed buds; 

 color clear, satiny pink, edged with blush, the centre flamed 

 with crimson. It is an imusually strong, sturdy grower, 

 forming a compact bush; in the open ground it produces 

 superb flowers with remarkable freedom. We recommend 

 this variety as an excellent Rose. 



F)NCHANTRESS. 



A Popular New Rose. 



Blooms with astonishing freedom, bearing its large, globu- 

 lar flowers in immense clusters; it is as free blooming as any 

 Rose in our collection. The color is creamy white, slightly 

 tinged with buff in the centre; vigorous growth; splendid 

 both in pots for late Autumn and Winter blooming as well 

 as for general planting in the open ground during Summer. 

 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1; two-year-old plants, 30 

 cts. each.
