Beaute Inconstante 



Inconstant Beauty 

 This is by all odds the most remarkable Rose we 

 have ever seen. It is odd, unique and beautiful. A 

 single bush will bear at the same time flowers of va- 

 rious colors, ranging from orange to capuchin red and 

 carmine, making the appearance that of a number of 

 varieties blooming at once. The buds are particularly 

 beautiful, large, pointed and well made; when open- 

 ing they are perfect, splendid for cutting. Specially 

 fine for' open-ground culture, where its variable flow- 

 ers are produced continually throughout the season. 

 Will excite admiration wherever seen. 15c. each; 

 4 for 30 cts.; 10 for *1. 



Beryl 



The Oddest Colored Rose in Our Collection 



! The flowers are finely made, large, full and fra- 

 grant. The color is deep apricot or coppery yellow; 

 j rich and absolutely distinct, so peculiar as to be inde- 

 ! scribable. The flower presents a lively contrast with 

 the foliage, which is especially good. A good, healthy 

 grower, free bloomer and splendid for cutting. 2C>

E^Lee 



A fine- new Rose 

 of great value to 

 the general planter. It grows 

 with great vigor, and is one of 

 the Roses that is valuable the whole year round. When 

 placed in open ground it quickly makes a large bush, 

 and commences to bloom almost as soon as set out, 

 continuing until severe freezing weather. It produces 

 its lovely flowers so freely that in this respect it ranks 

 among such Roses as Princess Bonnie and C/otilde 

 Soupert. As a pot Rose for Winter blooming it is espe- 

 cially good. The flowers are large, full and double; 

 both in bud and full-blown flower they are beautiful. 

 Color orange yellow, and as the weather becomes cool- 

 er the shade deepens until it reaches rich salmon tints. 

 15 cts. eacli; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1. 



Alliance Franco-Russe 



A Great Rose 



We consider this one of the best yellow Tea Roses 

 in cultivation. A strong sturdy grower and free 

 rdoomer, with flowers that are large, double and of 

 the best substance, beautifully formed, while the 

 color is rich yellow without a blemish. 15 cts. each; 

 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. 

 each. 



Albert Stopford 



This splendid acquisition promises to become very 

 valuable. It is an improved Bon Silene, and, like it. is 

 Buperb in every way; very vigorous and free-blooming, 

 ijrowing to perfection in the open ground, producing 

 its beautiful flowers in great profusion. The color is 

 lark crimson rose, very attractive and pretty. 



Burbank 



A formidable rival of Champion of the World, bear- 

 ing in great profusion cherry-crimson flowers, deep 

 and double, and of large size; very fragrant. Strong, 

 dwarf grower, hardy with protection. 15 cts. each; 

 4 for 50 cts.; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each. 



Bougi 



Old and Famous 



Anyone who has seen this grand old sort growing in 

 open ground will agree with us that it deserves the 

 brightest words of prai.se we can give it. Like Bon Si- 

 lene, it is old, having been introduced in 1832. Since 

 then it has been tried and found to be of rare value, 

 for general planting. The flowers are unusually large, 

 deep, full and double; they are supported on long, stiff 

 stems and are produced in bountiful abundance 

 throughout the growing season. In color they are 

 bronze ro.se or violet crimson, delicately shaded with 

 lilac; exceedingly sweet, remarkably hardy. 



Bridesmaid 



One of the Finest Outdoor Roses 



A delightful new Tea Rose, a sport from the old and 

 popular pink Tea, Catharine Mermet, but of a fine, 

 clear, dark pink, much deeper and more constant in 

 color than Mermet; very desirable; does exceedingly 

 well in the open ground, and is also valuable for forc- 

 ing, (See illu.stration, page 46). 



Catharine Mermet 



Distinct and Beautiful 

 A very beautiful Tea Rose, valued highly for its ele- 

 gant buds; color clear shining pink, with delicately 

 shaded amber and fawn center; large globular flow- 

 ers; one of the very finest varieties; a strong, healthy 

 grower and a good bloomer; equally desirable both for 

 open-ground planting and forcing under glass. 



Charles Legrady 



A Fine Bedding Rose 

 This splendid Rose is almost unexcelled for general 

 planting, particularly for bedding purposes; color fine 

 chamois red. richly shaded with violet crimson; very 

 sweet and a constant bloomer; we recommend It as 

 extra fine. 



Coquette De Lyon 



One of the Best Yellow Roses 

 Thi.s exquisite variety is so well and favorably known 

 that a detailed description is hardly required. It is un- 

 questionably one of the finest yellow Tea Roses in cul- 

 tivation for open-ground culture. The color is a pure 

 canary yellow— wonderfully beautiful and distinct. 

 The flowers are extra large, finely formed, deep and 

 double. The buds are exceedingly graceful— long and 

 pointed. Unlike some yellow Roses. It Is a strong, vig- 

 orous grower and a constant and steady bloomer. We 

 sell thousands uf this grand sort annually. 



Duchess De Brabant 



A Fine Old Favorite 

 This variety unites in a pronounced degree the high- 

 est attributes of a garden Rose, being very vigorous, 

 never fails to produce flowers, healthy, rarely dis- 

 eased In any way. produces largo, full blossoms, 

 beautiful In bud or open flower, and delightfully fra- 

 grant. The color Is an attractive shade of soft, rosy 

 pink, deepening to bright rose.
