MADAMM CUSIN. 



A Bright Tea Rose. 

 One of the good, strong-growing, free-blooming Roses that 

 we cannot have too many of. The flowers are strikingly- 

 beautiful; color bright purplish crimson, base of inside petals 

 sometimes streaked with white. Large, full, double howers, 

 very sweet and handsome. 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 

 9 for.Sl; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



MAD, MLin I^AMBMRT. 



An Extra-Large Rose. 

 The flowers are extra large, fine globular form, very full 

 and well built up. The French description says it is the 

 absolute perfection of form. Color a rich creamy white, 

 faintly tinted with pale golden yellow, and exquisitely bor- 

 dered and tinted with soft rosy flesh; very beautiful and 

 sweet; petals large and of good substance; constant and 

 profuse bloomer, vigorous and healthy grower — in short, a 

 magnificent Rose in every way. 



MAD. HONORM DnFRMSNB, 



A Golden Yellow Rose. 



Golden yellow is a color not often found in Roses. This 

 superb variety is valuable because of its large, full, double 

 flowers, which are pure golden yellow, and its freedom of 

 bloom and strong, healthy growth in open ground. Really 

 one of the sweetest and best Roses. 



MADAMM DM VATRY. 



One of the Brightest Roses. 

 We consider this splendid variety to be not only one of 

 the brightest, but one of the very best and most satisfactory 

 Roses for general planting, especially outdoors. It makes 

 big clean buds of great beauty and opens well, showing the 

 large, full, double flowers to great advantage. The color is a 

 rich crimson scarlet, bright and beautiful. Blooms freely 

 and constantly; grows strong and healthy; holds the foliage 

 well. In every way a fine Rose. 



MADAMM jnANNB CUVmR. 



New Tea Rose. 

 After thoroughly testing this new Rose, we recommend 

 it as a satisfactory variety of more than ordinary merit. It 

 does splendidly in open ground, where it grows very vigor- 

 ously; produces with great freedom its fine, large, full and 

 fragrant flowers. They are especially attractive in the bud 

 state; indeed they equal the buds of the finest cut-fiower 

 Roses. The color is fine salmon rose, passing to clear glossy 

 pink, shaded with rich carmine. An extra-good rose. 



MAD, JOSEPH SCHWARTS, 



A Fine, Free-Blooming Rose. 



A lovely Tea Rose ; extra-large, globular flowers, very full 

 and sweet, pure white, tinged and shaded with pale yellow 

 and rosy blush; very beautiful Rose; very constant and 

 profuse bloomer. 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1 ; two- 

 year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



MAD, LAMBARD, 



A Good Bedding Rose. 



A first-class Rose for Bedding; extra-large, full flowers, 

 very double and sweet; color a beautiful shade of rosy 

 bronze passing to salmon and fawn, beautifully shaded with 

 carmine. An elegant Rose, of vigorous habit of growth; 

 very free and constant bloomer. 



^ A SUPERB NEW ^ 

 HYBRID TEA ROSE. 



SOUV. DE PRESIDENT CARNOT 



Large, full, double, exquisitely shaped flowers, with 

 heavy, thick, shell-like petals. The buds are long and 

 pointed like Niphetos — perfection in every line. The 

 color is new, delicate rosy blu.sh, shaded a trifle deeper at 

 centre of the flower. Fragrance delicious ; strong grower 

 and free bloomer; has no weak point. 15 cts. each ; 4 for' 

 50 cts.; 9 for $1; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each. 



jVIad. de CnatteviUc. 



The Tulip Rose. 



This grand variety, sometimes called the Tulip Rose, is 

 one of the most beautiful varieties we have ever sent out, 

 and is very largely planted by those who know its beauty. 

 The color is a remarkable shade of creamy yellow, richly 

 colored with rosy blush; the petals are large and each one 

 widely bordered with bright crimson, which gives it a very 

 striking and beautiful appearance. The flowers are large, 

 very full and highly perfumed. For planting in the open 

 ground, Mad. de Watteville takes front rank, being a hardy, 

 vigorous grower, standing the sun and weather well, a pro- 

 fuse bloomer; unsurpassed for cutting. 



MAD, MARTHA DIJ BOURG. 



Immensely Free-Blooming. 



One of the prettiest and best Roses; flowers cup-shaped, 

 with wonderfully pretty crimped petals; giving them a 

 distinct lace-like appearance. The color is fine creamy pink, 

 with rosy flesh centre; the buds, sometimes the flowers, are 

 beautiful apricot yellow, flushed with orange red. This 

 lovely variety in open ground is an immense bloomer, pro- 

 ducing a prodigious amount of blooms throughout the season, 

 being constantly covered with flowers. 



605 Bridge Street, Lowell, Mass. 

 Gentlemen : — My little parcel of Roses came to me as 

 fresh when I took them from the wrapper as when you 

 took the roots from the ground, and if they do not live 

 and thrive it will be my fault and not yours. The order 

 was small, less than a dollar, but as much care was taken 

 with it as if I had ordered a hundred dollars' worth. Go 

 on and prosper, as you are bound to do while you do 

 your work so well as this. 



Respectfully yours, 



Kirk Manahan.
