PRIXCESS OF XAPL.ES This magnificent new Hybrid 



Tea Rose is a seedling of La 

 France crossed with Captain Christy, but far superior to either 

 variety. The original stock was sent to us by our Italian rep- 

 resentative and named by special permission in honor of the 

 Princess of Naples. We know of no Rose that will compare 

 with it in foliage, strong growth and free blooming habit, 

 while the flowers are imperial In size and fragrance— large, 

 deep and cup-shaped, with one petal closely over-lapping the 

 other. They are as handsome as American Beauty. The color

 grance delicious. Color deep carmine-crimson shaded velvety- 

 rnaroon. Very rare. 25 cts. each ; 3 for 60 cts. ; two-year-

NEW ROSE— AURORA 



PERLE VOX GODESBERG. — A splendid new Hybrid 



Tea Rose. An offspring 



of Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, and sent out from Germany as a 

 Yellow Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. With us it has failed to 

 come up to the strong recommendation sent out describing 

 it as a distinct golden yellow flower. The flower may be said 

 to be creamy yellow, but is far from being a true yellow 

 Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, at least our trials so far convince 

 us of this fact. Should we find ourselves mistaken in further 

 trial it will be announced in these pages. In any event it is 

 well worthy of a trial. 50 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 

 SI each. 



HELENE — Offered in some catalogues as a better Rose 

 ZZ than Crimson Rambler, which it is not. While 

 thoroughly distinct and worthy of a place it lacks in color, 

 which is soft violet rose; base of petals yellowish white, 

 while the anthers and pistils are pure yellow, giving the 

 flowers a pleasing appearance. The buds are carmine, finely 

 massed, and are borne 20 to 50 in a clusttr. A strong climbin? 

 Ro-e, perfectly hardy, and with the exception of the color of 

 the flowers strongly resembles Crimson KambUr. 20 cts. 

 each ; 3 for 50 cts. ; two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each.
