As the demand for Roses during the Autumn months is 

 largely confined to the finer sorts for house culture during the 

 Winter, we therefore devote this and the following page to a 

 select list of choice varieties most suitable for the purpose and 

 that cannot fail to give the most gratifying results. When 

 received the Roses should be planted at once in four-inch pots, 

 in good rich soil, watered freely and given a warm temperature 

 and as much light and sun as possible. In the Spring they 

 may be transplanted in the open ground, where they will con- 

 tinue to bloom throughout the Summer. 



American Beauty. — A grand Hybrid Perpetual Rose, 

 valuable both for garden and house culture. Color rosy crim- 

 son, exquisitely shaded and very handsome; extra-large, full 

 flowers, exceedingly sweet; makes magnificent buds; is a 

 good bushy grower and a constant bloomer. 50 cts. each. 



Augustine Guinoisseau. — This magnificent new Rose is 

 a pure white La France, having just a breath of rose-tinted 

 blush ; the buds and flowers are extra large, very full and finely 

 formed, and delightfully perfumed ; is a Rose that everyone 

 would like to have. 20 cts. each. 



Bridesmaid. — A delightful new Tea Rose, a sport from 

 the old and popular pink tea, Catherine Mermet, but of a fine, 

 clear, dark pinit, much deeper and more constant in color than 

 Mermet; very desirable ; valuable for forcing. 20 cts. each. 



Clotilde Soupert. — The finest Rose of its class. The 

 flowers are borne in clusters, and are of large, round, fiat 

 form, with beautifully imbricated petals; perfectly full and 

 double, and deliciously sweet ; color beautiful pinkish amber 

 or pale creamy yellow (see cut). 15 cts. each. 



Coquette de Lyon. — A lovely Tea Rose ; exquisite 

 canary yellow, clear translucent texture and delicious perfume; 

 flowers large, fine form, very full and double ; constant and 

 most profuse bloomer. 15 cts. each. 



La France. — Both flowers and buds are of grand size; the 

 color a lovely shade of peach blossom, changing to amber rose, 

 elegantly tinged with crimson ; delicious tea fragrance. 15c. each.

 spect; color pure snow white, sometimes faintly tinged pale 

 yellow ; extra full and double ; sweet tea scent. 15 cts. each. 



NEW TEA ROSE, VIRGINIA. 



NEW TEA POLYANTHA, CLOTILDE SOUPERT. 



Marion Ding-ee. — It is a strong vigorous grower, 

 making a handsome graceful bush, with large, thick, 

 deep green leaves ; the flowers are large, beautifully 

 cup-shaped, moderately full, and borne in wonderful 

 profusion. The flowers are deep brilliant crimson ; one 

 of the darkest, if not the very darkest and richest col- 

 ored Tea Rose in existence. 25 cts. each. 



Mad. Hoste. — Extra-large flowers and superb buds, 

 color soft canary yellow, deepening at centre to pure 

 golden yellow, beautifully flushed with pale amber ; 

 excellent for garden or pot culture, and is particularly 

 valuable for forcing for cut flowers. 20 cts. each. 



Meteor. — Belongs to the Hybrid Tea class, and is 

 one of the brightest colored and most brilliant Roses 

 we have, and is highly recommended for growing in 

 pots and conservatory. The color is rich velvety crim- 

 son ; both buds and flowers are large and elegantly 

 formed, fully double, and borne on nice long stems; 

 quite fragrant. 20 cts. each. 



Perle des Jardins. — Constantly grows in favor as 

 its merits become better known ; color clear golden 

 yellow; very rich and beautiful; very full and highly 

 perfumed. 20 cts. each. 



Virginia. — This elegant Rose, introduced by us 

 this year for the first time, we consider one of the 

 most promising Tea Roses of modern 

 introduction. It is a vigorous grower 

 of bushy habit; the blooms are large, 

 double, finely formed, lasting and of 

 excellent substance, often remaining on 

 the bush until dried up ; color a light 

 yellow with a tinge of saffron at the 

 centre, and reverse of petals a pinkish 

 cast; perfume, a delicate and delight- 

 ful tea scent. It will undoubtedly 

 prove a very desirable and profitable 

 variety for forcing (see cut). Price, 35c.
