PRINCESS BONNIE. 



The only Hardy Crimson Bver-bloomingr Rose. — 



The brightest, sweetest, hardiest, free-blooming Rose in ex- 

 istence; such is Princess Bonnie. Color solid crimson, 

 deeper and more vivid than Gen. Jacqueminot ; fragrance far 

 sweeter than La France ; produces more perfect flowers than 

 Clothilde Soupert, the most prolific of all Roses. For beauty 

 and exquisite fragrance, it is positively not equaled by any 

 Rose we know, while for continuity of bloom and vigorous 

 healthy growth, v/hether planted indoors or in the open 

 ground, it even surpasses a Geranium. It blooms all the time I 

 See complete description, page 24. 20 cts. each ; two-year- 

 old plants, 35 cts. each. 



MOSELLA OR YELLOW CLOTHILDE 

 SOUPERT. 



One of the prettiest and most satisfactory Roses in this 

 book. This is a strong indorsement, but this variety in our 

 estimation merits it. It is remarkably free blooming, pro- 

 ducing in continuous profusion throughout the growing season 

 clusters of three to six flowers, as well as on single stems, 

 which are exquisitely beautiful, being as large as the best Tea 

 Roses, very double and of graceful form ; the buds are per- 

 fect in their shape, and as they open do not look unlike 

 Camellia flowers. The petals are tinted white on yellow 

 ground, which becomes golden in the centre of the flower. 

 In open ground Mosella is grand. It is a strong, dwarf, 

 bushy grower, hardy with protection. 15 cts. each ; two-year- 

 old plants, 35 cts. each. 



ENCHANTRESS. 



As Free-Blooming" as Princess Bonnie. — This variety 

 belongs among the leaders. It blooms with astonishing free- 

 dom, bearing its large, globular double flowers in immense 

 clusters; it is as free-blooming as any Rose in our collection. 

 The color is creamy white, slightly tinted buff in centre ; of 

 vigorous growth, fine foliage and highly valuable, both in pots 

 for late Autumn and Winter blooming, as well as for general 

 planting in open ground during Summer. 25 cts. each ; two- 

 year-old plants, 40 cts. each. 



PINK SOUPERT. 



A superb new Tea Polyantha Rose introduced by us. It 

 is an offspring of Clothilde Soupert, and identical with it ex- 

 cept in color, which is deep rich pink. Its freedom of bloom 

 is marvelous ; throughout the entire growing season it pro- 

 duces cluster after cluster of finely-formed buds and flowers. 

 It is hardy with slight protection ; for open-ground planting 

 this variety is conceded to be the champion pink Rose ; is 

 one of the most popular Roses in cultivation. It suits every- 

 body. 15 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 



CLiriBING SOUV. DE WOOTON. 



A Grand Acquisition. — A sport from that famous Rose 

 Souv. de Wooton, with which it is identical, except that it is 

 a strong rampant climber, growing in one season to a height of 

 10 to 15 feet; superbly formed flowers; bright magenta red, 

 passing to violet crimson, richly shaded. The flowers are. 

 large, full and regular, with thick leathery petals and de- 

 liriously tea scented; make beautiful buds; as an outdoor 

 climbing Rose it will take a front rank, because of its strong 

 growth and freedom of bloom. A well-developed bush 

 covered with finely-formed flowers, is beautiful beyond any- 

 thing we have ever seen. 20 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 

 35 cts. each. 



CLIMBING MARIE GUILLOT. 



Originated and now First Introduced by the Din- 

 gee & Conard Co.— As the offspring of one of the most 

 valuable and famous Tea Roses in cultivation, we consider 

 this a superb novelty. It is a splendid grower, adapted to 

 almost any soil or situation, and for outdoor cultivation has 

 no superior. The flowers are magnificently made, extra 

 large, deep and double; buds exquisite, fragrance delightful. 

 The color is pure snow white, sometimes faintly tinged pale 

 yellow, identical with Marie Guillot, except that it is a rapid 

 climber, throwing up shoots 10 to 15 feet high in a single 

 season. It blooms continuously the first year — in fact it com- 

 mences to bloom when in small pots. This Rose will be a 

 glorious variety in the South, where it will undoubtedly equal 

 Marechal Niel. Hardy in the North with careful protection. 

 Strong blooming plants, 30 cts. each, postpaid by Mail. Two- 

 year-old plants, 50 cts. each. 



WHITE IWIAN COCHET. 



A Magnificent New Ever-blooming Tea Rose.— 

 This is a superb variety, now offered for the first time, and 

 to see it in bloom one is lost to find words to express its won- 

 derful beauty. It is identical with its parent, Maman Cochet, 

 a Queen among pink garden Roses, except in color of flower, 

 which is snowy white, sometimes faintly tinged with the 

 faintest suggestion of pale blush. It has the same freedom 

 of bloom, magnificent form of biids and flowers, which 

 is marvelously beautiful in its perfection. The flowers are 

 large and very double, with petals of unusually heavy texture, 

 making it of more than ordinary value in the open ground. 

 It has the vigor of an oak, with heavy foliage, which is im- 

 pervious to disease, hardy with protection; of extraordinary 

 merit. Strong blooming plants, 25 cts. each, postpaid by 

 Mail; two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each.
