Golden Gate, Henry M. Stanley and Pearl Rivers See Colored Plate, over. 



We take great pleasure in calling the attention of our friends and customers to these splendid New 

 Roses originated in this country and introduced by ourselves last year, and can cordially recommend them 

 as being Roses of remarkable beauty and permanent v-alue, certainly not surpassed, if equaled, by the 

 finest imported European Novelties. 



New Tea Rose, Golden Qateo 



There are so many beautiful Roses, and they are 

 beautiful in so many different ways, that it scarcely 

 seems possible for any one variety to be the most 

 beaittifiil of all Roses ; and yet if the question was to 

 be decided we are strongly of the belief that the 

 palm would have to be awarded to our New Tea 

 Rose — Golden Gate — introduced by us last year. 

 This magnificent Rose is the result of a cross 

 between those old and greatly admired varieties, 

 Safrano and Cornelia Cook, and while combining 

 the good qualities of both is vastly more beautiful 

 than either. The flowers are extra large, very full 

 and finely formed, and of excellent substance ; the 

 buds are long and of the most desirable form ; 

 the color is rich creamy white, beautifully tinged 

 with fine golden yellow; the petals are large and 

 broad, and exquisitely bordered and tinted with 

 clear rose, making altogether a Rose of the rarest 

 and mpst indescribable beauty The Golden Gate 

 is a strong healthy grower, and a most profuse and 

 continuous bloomer ; will produce more perfect buds 

 and bloom than almost any variety we know ; it is 

 excellent for bedding, also for house culture and 

 forcing; in short we can heartily recommend it as 

 one of the finest and most beautiful Tea Roses ever 

 grown. 35 cts. each ; 3 for |i. 



Climbinq Tea md Moisetti Roses. 



The Climbing Teas and Noisettes include some of our most beautiful and valuable Roses. They grow 

 and bloom continuously, and are noted for the immense quantity of flowers they produce and their great 

 beauty. They are mostly climbers, and should therefore be planted near porches, pillars or trellises, where 

 they can have support. They are not suitable for bedding. They vary very much in hardiness. Some of 

 them, like America, Chromatella, William Allen Richardson, etc., are magnificent climbers for the South, 

 but not hardy here. Several others, such as Climbing Perle des Jardins, Climbing Niphetos and Marechal 

 Niel, are our very finest Roses for forcing and growing under glass, invaluable for training up greenhouse 

 rafters, etc., and Marechal Niel, though somewhat tender, is largely planted in open ground. Others, again, 

 such as Gloire de Dijon, Mad. Alfred Carriere, Mary Washington, Reine Marie Henriette, Reine Olga de 

 Wurtembourg, Washington, etc., are quite hardy, and give excellent satisfaction for general planting, but, 

 when convenient, are always benefited by a light covering of leaves or straw before Winter begins. 



We Offer 23 Varieties of Climbing Tea and Noisette Roses. 



Henry M. Stanley. 



This elegant new ever-blooming Tea Rose was 

 named in honor of the great African explorer and 

 introduced by us last year; it makes a beautiful 

 contrast with Golden Gate ; the color is a rare and 

 remarkably beautiful shade of clear amber rose, 

 delicately tinged towards the centre with fine apricot 

 yellow; the petals are beautifully edged and bor- 

 dered with rich carmine, and on the outer or reverse 

 side pass to a lovely shade of salmon or buff rose ; 

 the flowers are large, fine full form, excellent sub- 

 stance and deliciously fragrant, having a rich tea 

 scent. 35 cts. each ; 3 for $i. 



Pearl Rivers. 



This fine variety is the result of a union between 

 Devoniensis and iMad. de Watteville. It partakes 

 of the leading characteristics of both parents, but re- 

 sembles the lattermost closely ; the flowers are large 

 and quite full, with fine peachy red buds; the ground 

 color is ivory white, having the petals delicately 

 shaded and bordered with pale rose ; very beautiful ; 

 deliciously sweet. 35 cts. each ; 3 for $\.
