carmine; Virginia R. Coxe, or Gruss an Teplitz, fiery crimson, one of the greatest outdoor varieties; 

 Killarney, a great pink variety. We wish to add that the Hybrid Tea Roses, increasing as they are 

 in numbers so rapidly, are taking the place as the best Roses for general planting, combining, as they 

 do, the beauty of the Hybrid Perpetuals with the freedom of bloom of the Hybrid Teas. 



There are so many splendid Tea Roses that it is difficult to say which we would recommend 

 most, but among the choicest varieties are Aline Sisley, red; Bon Silene, a grand old variety, deep 



rose, shaded rosy crimson; General Robert E. 

 Lee, orange-yellow; Coquette de Lyon, splendid 

 deep yellow; Beaute Inconstante, a fancy

 bant, old, desirable rosy pink; Golden Gate, 

 splendid in the open ground, immense flowers 

 of creamy white, changing to golden yellow and

 attention, enormous flowers, rich, creamy white; Margaret Dickson, a great white variety; Vick's

 cemeteries; a fine white; Mad. Gabriel Luizet, pink; Oakmont, pink; Mad. Charles Wood, free-bloom-

Among the Hardy Climbing Roses, good in all sections of the country and hardy everywhere, 

 we would recommend the following varieties: Our great new Rose, Thousand Beauties, or Tausend- 

 schon, the Rose of many colors, illustration of which we show on the third cover page of this book; 

 Crimson Rambler, a great climber; Philadelphia Crimson Rambler, an improvement over the old 

 variety in many ways; Dorothy Perkins, shell-pink; Lady Gay, pink; Yellow, White and Pink Ram- 

 bler; Keystone, the first and only thoroughly hardy yellow Climbing Rose, should be in every garden; 

 Baltimore Belle, carmine and white; Greville or Seven Sisters, white and crimson; Russel's Cottage, 

 velvety crimson; Tennessee Belle, rosy blush; Rubin, crimson-scarlet. Then there is another class 

 of Climbing Roses rapidly springing to the front, embracing Climbing Polyanthas, Climbing Teas 

 and Hybrid Teas, that are especially desirable in all sections of the country, except extremely cold 



Euonymus radicans on the corner of the residence 

 of M. Henry Lynch, Vice-President of The Dingee 

 & Conard Co., see page 94.
