 A strikingly handsome Rose, one of the very best for open- 

 ground culture. It would be hard to name a better or more 

 satisfactory Rose. It is especially adapted to bedding or 

 massing. Holds its foliage under all sorts of adverse condi- 

 css^j^ ^ tions. The flowers are deeply shaded coppery yellow 

 ^^^i|P in color, and are of large size. A strong and vigorous 

 grower and a good and constant bloomer. Francisca

 satisfaction. 



jA un:^ nabonnand. 



One of the Finest Roses. 

 This is one of the really good Roses. It cannot fail to give 

 iplendid satisfaction. It is a strong grower, making thick 

 heavy shoots; indeed it is remarkable for its vigor and 

 vitality. The color is a rich chamois yellow, centre some- 

 times delicately shaded with coppery rose; the fragrance is 

 charming. For profusion of bloom, finely formed flowers 

 and sturdy growth, this variety is difficult to surpass. It 

 produces the kind of Roses that none of us have ever had 

 enough of. 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; two-year-old plants, 

 30 cts. each. 



LA GRANDEUR. 



A Beautifully Striped Tea Rose. 

 We consider this lovely variety one of the best, if not the 

 best, striped Rose of any class. The stripes and dashes of 

 white stand out in bold relief against the soft rosy carmine 

 background, which at the base of petals deepens into pale 

 violet purple, producing a most lovely effect, surpassing in 

 beauty any Rose we know. This is a grand Rose for open- 

 ground culture, being a remarkably strong, healthy grower 

 and a free and continuous bloomer. The flowers are large, 

 full and very double. 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1; 



LETTY COLES. 



A Large, Sweet and Handsome Rose. 

 With great, large, deep, double, sweet-scented flowers that 

 look more like a Hybrid Perpetual than a Tea Rose. This 

 variety is justly regarded as one of the very finest Roses in 

 cultivation. The flowers are big, full and globular in form, 

 very double, and are produced in wonderful profusion on 

 stiff stems. The color is a soft rosy pink, deeply shaded 

 with intense crimson. The tea fragrance is exceedingly 

 sweet. _ One of the very finest and strongest growing Roses 

 in our list. It will give absolute satisfaction. 15 cts. each; 

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



LUCIOLE. 



An Excellent Variety. 

 A grandly beautiful Rose; the flowers are extra large, 

 somewhat cupped form, but quite full and double; color clear 

 cherry red, with rich golden-yellow centre, elegantly shaded, 

 delightfully perfumed. In the open ground this lovely 

 variety makes a strong, quick growth, producing its flowers 

 remarkably early and continuing to bloom profusely. 



MAD. AGATHA NABONNAND. 



This superbly beautiful Rose resembles in color the delicate 

 hues seen in the inside of the fairest deep-sea shells; rosy 

 flesh, bathed in golden amber; immense egg-shaped buds, 

 broad shell-like petals, large, full flowers; exceedingly sweet. 

 Careful trials have proved its valued as an outdoor Rose.

strong-Growing, Free-Bloom 

 ing Rose. 



We apprehend there are a great number of our customers 

 unacquainted with the fact that this is one of the most beau- 

 tiful — in short, a Rose that compares favorably with the 

 celebrated leading kinds. We think this variety worthy of 

 recognition, for as far as our specimens go, we consider it a 

 most satisfactory Rose for general planting. The flowers are 

 large, beautiful and finely formed, very double, full and de- 

 liciously perfumed. Color bright rosy carmine, deepening to 

 crim.son; elegantly tinged and shaded coppery yellow. It is 

 of strong, sturdy habit of growth, and produces its grand 

 flowers, profusely and constantly, from early Summer until 

 late Fall. We are confident that this variety will please 

 every one who plants it. It cannot be surpassed for massing 

 or bedding.
