CAREFUL trials put it beyond the least question of doubt that these two famous Roses, Clotilde 

 SouPERT and its offspring, Pink Soupert, stand at the top of the list as the best bedding 

 Roses. The most admired ornamentation on our grounds the past season was a bed of these 

 two Roses. The large, handsome flowers were produced in such amazing numbers as to make the 

 bed a solid sheet of bloom. Sturdy and dwarf in habit, one is identical with the other except in 

 color of flowers, which is widely and distinctly diff'erent They are perfectly hardy with moderate 

 protection. No matter where planted, their profusion of bloom, deep pink and white makes a strik- 

 ing contrast, and call forth the admiration of all who see them. Plant a bed of the Soupert Roses 

 and you will never have cause to regret the investment. 



Clotilde Soupert. 



So famous has this superb variety become, it is hardly 

 necessary to describe it. Rose lovers the world over know it 

 to be one of the most satisfactory of all Roses, with merits of 

 the highest order. It is an extremely healthy grower and a 

 truly wonderful bloomer, producing cluster after cluster of 

 finely formed flowers. In form they are distinct— large, 

 round and fiat, with beautifully imbricated petals ; perfectly 

 full and double and deliciously sweet. The coloring effect is 

 grand — ivory white shading toward the centre to silvery 

 rose. The bush is a vigorous compact grower, and a contin- 

 uous and remarkably profuse bloomer, being literally loaded 

 down with its large handsome flowers throughout the entire 

 growing season. For bedding in the open ground, it cannot 

 be surpassed. It is excellent as a pot Rose for indoor culture. 

 Entirely hardy with moderate protection. Strong plants 



Pink Soupert. 



(See colored-plaie illustration on last cover page.) 

 This lovely new variety is a cross between Clotilde Soupert 

 and LucuUus, and is identical with Clotilde Soupert except in 

 color of flower. It has that same stocky sturdy habit of growth , 

 and, if anvthing, is a freer bloomer than it. The flowers are 

 large and flat, in short, identical in form with Clotilde Sou- 

 pert. The color is a rich dark shining pink, sometimes nearly 

 red, and in contrast with Clotilde Soupert, the effect is 

 extremely handsome. It is a wonderfully profuse bloomer, 

 commencing to flower during May in the open ground, and 

 continuing until late in October. Each shoot terminates with 

 clusters of flowers. Small plants, when but six months old, 

 frequently produce fifty perfect flowers. Hardy without pro- 

 tection, but a light covering during severe Winters will prove 

 beneficial. Strong plants, 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; gfor;^!;
