 that we believe will give excellent satisfaction and produce 

 just the kind of Roses that none of us have ever had enough 

 of. Roses of this character are scarce and always worth a 

 fair price ; in fact, they are wanted at any reasonable cost, as 

 there are very few so good ; and the color is handsome and 

 unique. 40 cts. each. 



Madame Caroline Testout (New Hybrid Tea). — Prob- 

 ably no Rose stands higher in public estimation to-day than 

 La France, and when we say that this elegant New Rose is a 

 close counterpart of La France, we have said enough to insure 

 its being planted by vast numbers of people. We don't know 

 that it is any better than La France, but it is decidedly deeper and 

 more brilliant in color, and if it is as good in other ways, it 

 is a wonderful Rose. It seems equally as healthy, and is 

 certainly more vigorous in 

 growth, which is a great re- 

 commendation. The petals 

 are large, and of the elegant 

 La France form; exquisitely 

 edged and bordered with clear 

 silver rose. Both flowers and 

 buds are extra large and of 

 very elegant form ; the color 

 is brilliant satiny rose, deep- 

 ening at centre to clear red. 

 It is of excellent substance, 

 keeps its color well, and its 

 splendid large globular flowers 

 impress every one with a 

 sense of its superiority and 

 great beauty. 40 cts. each. 



Madame Elie Lambert 

 (New Tea Rose). — A wonder- 

 ful, beautiful New Tea Rose. 

 The colors are not particularly 

 remarkable — scarcely unusual 

 — and yet we have no hesita- 

 tion in recommending it as 

 one of the most beautiful and 

 valuable Roses of which we 

 have any knowledge. The 

 flowers are extra large, fine 

 globular form, very full and 

 well built up. The French 

 description says it is the ab- 

 solute perfection of form. 

 The color is somewhat in the 

 way of Madame de Watte- 

 ville, but deeper ; rich creamy 

 white, faintly tinted v/ith pale 

 golden yellow, and exquisitely 

 bordered and shaded with soft 

 rosy flesh; exceedingly beauti- 

 ful and very sweet; petals 

 large and of good substance; 

 constant and profuse bloomer, 

 strong, vigorous and healthy 

 grower — in short, a magnifi- 

 cent Rose in every way (see 

 cut). 40 cts. each. 



Maiirice Rouvier (New 

 Tea Rose). — One of the distinguishing characteristics of this 

 superb New Rose is its enormous size — the flowers are im- 

 mense ; fine globular form, very full and exceedingly sweet ; 

 the color is bright pinkish rose, elegantly tinted with shades 

 of buff, and prettily veined with deep shining crimson, while 

 many of the petals have a wide border of silvery white, 

 which gives the flowers ahghter effect than the colors would 

 appear to indicate. It is a good strong grower and most 

 prolific bloomer, well worthy of high commendation (see 

 cut). 40 cts. each. 



Miss Wenn (New Tea Rose). — This charming variety is 

 noticed at once for its exquisite color, which seems entirely 

 distinct from almost all other Roses of our acquaintance. 

 We call it a clear coral pink, a most novel and distinct shade 

 of color very difficult to describe. The French call it china 

 pink. It is certainly a very beautiful color, and the Rose will 

 doubtless be greatly admired, as it is large, very double and 

 full, and exquisitely tea scented. 40 cts. each. 



Princesse Sarsina (New Tea Rose). — Fine flesh- 

 colored Rose of good form and substance; base of 

 petals finely tinged with apricot yellow, centre shaded rich

peachy red ; very pretty and desirable for general planting. 

 40 cts. each. 



Souvenir de Clairvatix (New Tea Rose). — It is intro- 

 duced by Mr. Eugene Verdier, of Paris, who places it at the 

 bead of his list of New Roses for the year, and claims for it 

 unusual excellence, which we have reason to believe it fuUy 

 deserves. The flowers are extra large, having a deep full 

 form, well built up ; the buds, too, are large, long and pointed, 

 altogether giving an idea of luxuriant beauty that but few 

 Roses possess. The color is bright pinkish rose, very rich and 

 handsome, and shading darker or lighter accordmg to season 

 and temperature; when fully open, the base of centre is seen 

 to be finely shaded apricot yellow. The flowers are delight- 

 fully fragrant. It is a nice, clean, healthygrower and continu- 

 ous bloomer, and we think moderately hardy. 40 cts. each. 



Souvenir de Lady Ash- 

 burton (New Tea Rose). — 

 Originated by one of the fa- 

 mous Rose growers of Paris, 

 France, and named in honor 

 of a noted English lady, the 

 wife of Lord Ashburton, one 

 of the most noted English 

 diplomats of the present time. 

 The flowers of this superb 

 Rose are exceedingly large 

 and full, and of round, hand- 

 some form ; the coloris some- 

 what variable, but always very 

 beautiful, and can perhaps be 

 best described as a fine shade 

 of rich coppery red, delicate- 

 ly suffused with pale orange 

 yellow ; reverse of petals fine 

 rosy fawn color. It is highly 

 scented with the true Tea 

 Rose odor, heightened or in- 

 tensified, as the French de- 

 scription says, with the delicate 

 perfume of peaches and apri- 

 cots. 40 cts. each. 



Souvenir de Madame 

 Sablayrolles (New Tea 

 Rose). — This is certainly an 

 exquisite Rose ; in form and 

 delicate coloring it is almost 

 unsurpassed. The French 

 grower who originated it de- 

 scribes the color as rosy apri- 

 cot, delicately tinged with pale 

 yellow, or it might be better 

 to say that the prevailing color 

 was rich creamy white, most 

 elegantly tinged and bordered 

 with soft silvery rose, giving 

 an exquisite Mother of Pearl 

 effect. The plant is a good 

 vigorous grower, that will bear 

 plenty of lovely buds and 

 flowers, and they are delici- 

 ously sweet. 40 cts. each. 

 Triomphe de Pernet 

 Pere (New Hybrid .Tea). — Originated and sent out by Jean 

 Pernet, one of the most celebrated Rose growers of France, who 

 has already given us some very beautiful Roses, but considers 

 this the triumph of his life; and besides his indorsement, it has 

 received the commendation of the highest European authori- 

 ties, and as far as we can judge, it is well worthy of them, and 

 promises to be one of the very finest of the Hybrid Tea 

 class. The flowers are extra large, having broad thick petals 

 and long tapering buds, with delicious tea fragrance ; color 

 fine clear magenta red, sometimes passing to bright crimson, 

 very striking and beautiful, and of such good substance that 

 the flowers retain their beauty for a long time ; very brilliant 

 and handsome. 40 cts. each.
