The Polyanthas are a lovely and distinct class of ever-blooming Roses, distinguished by their dwarf, 

 bushy habit of growth, medium size and very double flowers, which are delightfully fragrant and are borne 

 in large clusters and masses, frequently seeming to cover the whole plant with a sheet of bloom. They are 

 good, vigorous growers and constant and most profuse bloomers, very pretty, and highly recommended for 

 general planting, also for edges and borders to beds of the larger growing varieties. They are not entirely 

 hardy, but will often survive the Winters in favorable situations, with usual protection.

NEW TEA POLYANTHA — CLOTILDE SOUPERT. 



Clotilde Soupert. 



(77z« New Tea Polyantha.) — This lovely Rose conies 

 from the Garden of Luxembourg, France. It belongs to 

 the Polyantha class, but resembles the Tea Roses so clo..ely 

 that it is called a Tea Polyantha, and is undoubtedly 

 the finest Rose of its class. The flowers are borne in 

 clusters, and are of large, round, flat form, with beautifully 

 imbricated petals ; perfectly full and double, and deliciously 

 sweet; color beautiful pinkish amber or pale creamy yellow, 

 delicately flushed with silvery rose, sometimes ivory white, 

 exquisitely tinted with pale salmon, and sometimes both red 

 and white flowers are produced on the same plant. It is a 

 particularly elegant and handsome Rose, always greatly 

 admired. The bush is a vigorous and compact grower, and 

 a continuous and remarkably profuse bloomer, being literally 

 loaded with Roses throughout the whole growing season. It 

 is highly recommended for bedding in open ground, and also 

 for window and house culture ; moderately hardy if given a 

 good covering of leaves and litter before Winter begins. Be 

 sure and include this lovely Rose. 15 cts. each; 8 for gi. 



Etoile d'Or. — This elegant Rose is certainly a great
