NEW ROSES. 



HYBRID TEA ROSE, RHEA REID 



New Everblooming Irish Hybrid Tea Rose, 

 "Betty." 



An introduction of Messrs. Dickson & Sons, Belfast, Ireland, to 

 whom we are indebted for so many of our good bedding Roses, chief 

 among which is the now so popular Killarney, and we have every 

 reason to believe that " Betty" will become just as great a favorite. 

 The plant is a strong, vigorous grower; with clean, healthy foliage, 

 producing in great profusion its large, deliciously perfumed flowers, 

 which are of a glowing coppery-rose color suffused with a golden 

 sheen. Strong two-year-old plants, 80 cents each ; $9.00 per dozen. 



Grand New American Hybrid Tea Rose, Rhea Reid. 



In this new American variety we have a decided acquisition — a Rose 

 of the type of the American Beauty, but of the easiest culture. It never 

 mildews or blackspots, and opens its large flowers perfectly under all 

 weather conditions. In color it varies with the temperature, in sum- 

 mer a bright cherry rose, while in winter it is a rich crimson scarlet. 

 Extra heavy stock, ready in March, 40 cents each ; $4.00 per dozen ; 

 $30.00 per ioo. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose, Celia. 



Most attractive flowers of perfect form, of a bright, satin pink, with 

 deeper centre ; exceptionally free-flowering, equalling, in this respect, 

 such sorts as Killarney, Mme. Jules Grolez, etc., and is a most accept- 

 able addition to this class of Roses. Strong two-year-old plants, 60 

 cents each ; $7.00 per dozen. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose, The Warrior. 



An English introduction which we feel sure will prove a valuable 

 addition to the list of high-colored everblooming garden Roses. In 

 color it is a blood red, opening up a vivid scarlet ; large double flowers, 

 with broad, handsome petals, forming a beautiful bud, as well as 

 fully-expanded flower. Strong two-year-old plants, 60 cts. each ; $7.00 

 per dozen. 



New Hybrid Tea Rose, Killarney. 



We offer this season a grand lot of this popular Rose, elegant two- 

 year-old budded plants in prime condition. $3.00 per dozen ; $25.00 

 per 100. 



New Forcing Rose, 

 Mrs. Jardine. 



This new Rose, an introduction of Messrs. Dickson & Sons, who 

 have given us Killarney, Liberty and many other important Roses, 

 and which was received with much favor at all of the exhibitions the 

 past fall, has all the good points to make it one of the leading stand- 

 ard varieties — that is, a strong, free-growing habit, with good foliage, 

 and which can be easily grown ; large flowers on long stems of perfect 

 form that are useful in both bud form and fully-expanded flowers, of 

 delicious fragrance, color a bright rosy pink, shading in the outer 

 petals to salmon pink, and even in January, when Bridesmaid and 

 Killarney lose their color, Mrs. Jardine is as bright as in October or 

 March, a distinct, pleasing color that will sell on sight. This Rose is 

 being taken up extensively by all prominent growers wbo are familiar 

 with its many good qualities. We offer for delivery after March 1st 

 good 2%-inch pot plants.

Tea Rose, 

 Souvenir de Pierre Notting. 



From what we have seen of this new variety, we believe it to be the 

 ideal yellow bedding Rose ; has exceptionally large flowers, which 

 in form and beauty surpass that magnificent bedding Rose Mamatt 

 Cochet, which is one of its parents. In color it is a deep, apricot-yellow 

 shaded with orange ; rich and beautiful. Strong two-year-old plants, 

 $3.50 per dozen ; $25.00 per 100. 



The New Double Flowering Rugosa Rose, 

 Nova Zembla. 



In this new variety we have all the characteristics which make the 

 Rugosa Roses valuable, and in addition beautiful pure white full double 

 flowers, which are of fine form both in the bud and in the full blown 

 flowers which are produced most freely. A useful Rose which we take 

 pleasure in recommending. 35 cents each ; $3.50 per dozen. 



New Hybrid Perpetual Rose, 

 Ruhm der (iartenweit. 



We distributed a limited number of this German introduction last 

 spring and it has given entire satisfaction. The plant is of vigorous 

 growth, very free flowering, of a brilliant fiery red color, of large size, 

 fine form and very fragrant. Strong 2-year-old plants, 30 cents each ; 

 $3.00 per dozen. 



New Rambler Rose, 

 Tausendschon. 



A German introduction which comes to us verj highly recom- 

 mended. It has the same vigorous habit of growth as the other Ram- 

 blers, making growths in a season of over 10 feet, which are almost 

 devoid of thorns. It bears its flowers in immense clusters ; in color a 

 soft pink when first opening, changing to a carmine rose on the reverse 

 as they fully expand. Extra strong two-year-old plants, 40 cents each ; 

 S4.00 per dozen. 



An Important Rose for Easter, 

 Lady Gay, Rambler. 



This new variety, a seedling from the popular Crimson Rambler 

 which it closely resembles in habit of growth and general effect, is 

 destined to become one of the most popular Easter plants, for which 

 purpose it is especially adapted on account of its delicately-tinted 

 flowers, which are of a delicate cherry-pink, which gradually changes 

 to a soft-tinted white. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, with 

 profuse, glossy, deep-green foliage, and the effect of a plant in full 

 bloom, with the combination of the soft white flowers, the cherry- 

 pink buds and the deep-green foliage, is indeed charming. Strong 

 two-year-old plants, $3.00 per dozen : $25.00 per 100. 



Baby Rambler Roses. 



A type of Rose which is becoming very popular for bedding pur- 

 poses. They form shapely, compact, bushy specimens about 18 inches 

 high, producing in great profusion from early in the season until 

 severe frost immense trusses of small flowers. 



Crimson Baby Rambler (Mme. Norbert Levavasseur). An extra 

 fine lot of strong two-year-old plants, $2.50 per dozen ; $20.00 per 100- 



Pink Baby Rambler (Anchen Muller). Brilliant luminous pink; a 

 shade that is always admired. $3.00 per dozen ; $25.00 per 100. 



White Baby Rambler (Katherina Zeimet). Pure white flowers, 

 showing the yellow stamens very prettily, produced in large cande- 

 labra-shaped trusses $3.50 per dozen ; $25.<>oper too.
