EVERGREEN HYBRID WICHURIANA ROSES. 



No plants of these will 

 he sent out until after 

 March 25. 



The iDtroduction of this 

 valuable gi'oup marks the 

 improvement and devel- 

 opment of a new and dis- 

 tinct type of Hardy Roses 

 to a most extraordinary 

 and wonderful degree. A 

 great achievement has 

 been accomplished. These 

 varieties are all of re- 

 markably vigorous 

 growth, a fom'-year old 

 plant having been known 

 to cover a space of 240 

 square feet, with long 

 shoots, from twelve to 

 twenty-flve feet in length, 

 completely covering the 

 ground with its bright 

 glossy foliage and showy, 

 fragrant flowers. The 

 foliage of all is leath- 

 ery in texture, bright^ 

 glossy and truly exer- 

 green ; that is, keeping its 

 foliage all winter — a char- 

 acteristic in Roses never 



before obtained. The flowers of all are large, exceed- 

 ingly fragrant, and produced in boundless profusion. 

 These Roses will prove of inestimable value for trailing 

 or covering ground where nothing else will grow, for 

 covering stumps of trees, walls and trellises, etc., for 

 cutting and for forcing as pot plants. They will all 

 exceed any Rose in hardiness, beauty and fragrance of 

 bloom, and in evergreen foliage.

 ern New Jersey with very slight protection in win- 

 ter. Its habit is exceedingly strong and upright, 

 like its parent, and it possesses the same large, beau- 

 tiful, healthful foliage and is a most profuse and 

 constant bloomer. The flowers are of enormous 

 size, remarkably round and full; pure, clear ivory- 

 white throughout aud are delightfully tea-scented.
