ROSES 



CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. 



In selecting a spot for a rose bed do not choose one where they will be shaded by trees or buildings, as the 

 rose delights in an open, airy situation, with plenty of sunshine. Roses are very partial to a clay loam soil, but 

 will do well in any ordinary soil if enriched with well-rotted barnyard manure. In preparing the bed dig it up 

 thoroughly to the depth of twelve or fifteen inches, as rose roots penetrate deep when they have a chance. In 

 forming the beds do not elevate them above the level of the ground surrounding, as they will suffer less from 

 drouth. After the plants have been set out, keep the soil loose to the depth of an inch or two, by frequent stir- 

 rings. An occasional soaking with weak manure water is a great help to them.

HYBRID. 

 PERPETUAL. 



Madame Gabriel Luizet— 



For loveliness in color, frag- 

 rance, size and freedom of 

 blooming qualities, this rose 

 has no equal to-day. equally 

 good as a bedding rose out 

 doors. Pink, distinct, very 

 large, cup-shaped, somewhat 

 fragrant. 



Margaret Dickson — Of mag- 

 nificent form ; white, with pale 

 flesh center ; petals very large, 

 shell-shaped, and of great sub- 

 stance ; foliage very large, dark 

 green. 



Magna Cliarta— A splendid 

 sort, bright clear pink, flushed 

 with violet crimson ; verysweet ; 

 flower extra large, fine form; 

 very double and full, a free 

 bloomer. A Hybrid chiua that 

 is very fine early in the season. 



Marchioness of Lome— 



Flowers large, of an exceed- 

 ingly rich and fulget rose color, 

 slightly shaded in center with 

 vivid carmine, very sweet. 



Francois (Levet, 1881)— 

 Grows vigorously and blooms 

 abundantly, especially during 

 autumn. C olor clear pale rose ; 

 size medium. 



Oakmont, ot>-.— Deep bright 

 rose color, in the way of Paul

MOSS ROSES. 



Blanche Moreau— Pure white ; large, full, perfectly 

 ormed. 



Princess Adelaide— A vigorous grower, pale rose 

 and of medium size and good form. 



Crimson Globe— Rich, deep crimson. 



Blanche Robert — Flowers pure white, large and 

 full; buds very beautiful. A rampant grower, being 

 almost as vigorous as a climber. 



CLIMBING ROSES. 



Crimson Rambler {CHmbins- Poly antha)— A. won- 

 derful new rose from Japan, bearing immense trusses 

 of deep crimson flowers which hold their beautiful 

 color a long time without fading. The plant is a very 

 vigorous grower and thus makes a splendid climbing 

 rose, though it may also be grown in bush or pillow 

 form. When in full bloom and covered as it is with its 

 great trusses of flowers containing thirty to fifty blos- 

 soms each, it is a most magnificent sight. It has 

 proved entirely hardy in this country, and is a very 

 great acquisition to our garden rose. 



Climbing Jules Margottin— Carmine rose, fine in 

 open flower and in bud; the best of all climbing sorts. 

 It may be grown either as a pillar rose or by pruning, 

 kept in bush form ; it should be in every collection. 



Prairie Queen — An old standard variety, and one 

 that will always be popular. No collection of hardy 

 climbing roses is complete without it. Bright rosy 

 red, large, compact and globular flower. 



Baltimore Belle— Very double blush white, in large 

 clusters, completely enveloping the whole plant with 

 bloom. 



White Rambler— A worthy companion plant for 

 Crimson Rambler. It is similar in habit of growth 

 and form of flowers, perfectly hardy, and flowers in 

 good size clusters. The pearly white flowers contrast 

 nicely with those of Crimson Rambler, and make a 

 beautiful display when planted with it. Its flowers 

 are quite fragrant and last for a long time after being 

 cut. 10c. each; strong two-years-old plants. 35c. 



Yellow Rambler— Really the only hardy yellow 

 climbing rose, and beautiful when in bloom whether 

 planted bv itself or grouped with some of the other 

 "Ramblers." Flowers light yellow, borne in clusters. 

 10c. each; strong two-years-old plants, 35c. 



Pink Rambler— Resembles Crimson Rambler in 

 every respect but color, which in this is clear pink. 

 One of the most attractive of the set. The mature 

 flowers often change to creamy white when fully ma- 

 tured. 10c. each ; strong two-years-old plants, 35c. 



One each of the four varieties for 35c. 



Dorothy Perkins— Flowers good .size for this class, 

 borne in clusters, full, and double; color clear shell- 

 pink and fragrant.
