 This is a decided curiosity among Roses and 

 a novelty of most striking order. The color is 

 very dark crimson with narrow band of white 

 forming a sharp contrast. The petals fringed 

 irregularly like a double Petunia or a Carna- 

 tion. Odd and unique. 25 cts. each; 3 for 60

A RARE OLD ROSE— YORK AND 



LANCASTER No. 88. 



For nearly twenty years we have had this 

 Rose in our collection endeavoring to build up 

 a stock, but inasmuch as it is a shy rooter we 

 have been unable to offer it, and now have it 

 onlv in limited quantities. This is perhaps the 

 rarest and most extraordinary Rose in cultiva- 

 tion. It cannot be had elsewhere in America. 

 It belongs to the CENTIFOLIA, a type cele- 

 brated for the exquisite fragrance of its flowers. 

 It dates back to the time of the War of Roses, 

 between the Royal Houses of York and Lan- 

 caster. Said to have originated when these 

 warring factions became united, its colors rep- 

 resenting the white of the Yorkists, and the red 

 of the Lancastrians. The color is remarkable, 

 red and white, sometimes blotched and some- 

 times striped; full and double. Perfectly hardy. 

 First size, $2 each; larger plants, limited supply, 

 $3 each. 



AYRSHIRE ROSE— DUNDEE RAMBLER 



No. 93. 



This is not a new Rose, but is very rare. It 

 is a runnning Rose, rather slender in growth 

 and an exceedingly rapid climber. For planting 

 in rough situations where others will not thrive, 

 for covering banks, or for running up old trees 

 or pillars, this variety is excellent. It is also 

 good when used as a Weeping Rose — in short, 

 this variety is perhaps unexcelled for general 

 purposes. The flowers are very pretty, being 

 white in color and semi-double. Young plants 

 grow 15 to 20 feet in one season. Perfectly 

 hardy. 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1; two- 

 year-old plants, 35 cts. each.

 following letters show that satisfactory shipments are made to all parts of the Wurld 



Herbert J. Rumsey, Barber's Creek, Australia, writes us: "I beg to acknowl- 

 edge the safe arrival of the two parcels of Roses. One parcel was slightly open 

 when received; the little green stems were quite visible, but were in perfect 

 condition." 



"The 17 Roses ordered, reached me March 14th, in two packages, every plant 

 in splendid condition, the Maceo Carnations likewise. I am pleased to say that 

 the Roses received from you last spring are doing well. I have now had 24 

 yearling Roses from you by mail without a single loss. This speaks volumes for 

 both your packing and the vitality of your Roses." 



A. ABBEY, Yokohama, Japan. 



Marie de Jesus Cruz de Gay, Oaxaca, Mexico, in a recent letter says: "All the 

 plants ordered from you last month received all right. It is certainly admirable 

 the mariner in which you pack plants to travel such an enormous dis^nce. J 

 will prefer always your firm to any other."
