grower, with large heavy foliage. In open ground it is 

 hardy with protection, blooms as freely as a Tea Rose, but 

 in other respects has all the characteristics of a Hybrid 

 Perpetual. The flowers are extra large, full and double, 

 with petals well arranged. Both in bud and when fully ex- 

 panded, they are extremely beautiful; the fragrance is 

 delicious. The color is unusually rich — a deep carmine crim- 

 son, shaded velvety maroon. As a free-blooming, hardy 

 Rose for open-ground culture, this variety is hard to equal . 

 We recommend it strongly. 20 cts. each.

Laurence Allen. This beautiful new Hybrid Perpetual 



I * is perhaps the finest light Rose of its 



class introduced since Her Majesty was distributed. It 

 does not look unlike that great variety Baroness Roths- 

 child. The extra-large handsome flowers stand up in 



great fashion, and are full, deep and well built with high 

 centre ; the petals stiff and slightly refiexed. The color is 

 rare and beautiful — clear, soft pink with lighter shading. 

 The flowers are sweetly perfumed, a quality seldom found 

 in the light Roses of this class. In growth it is strong and 

 erect. It blooms early and with great freedom. Being 

 entirely hardy, it will become one of the most valuable of 

 garden Roses. The introducers of this Rose, Messrs. 

 George Cooling & Sons, Bath, England, received three 

 certificates of merit for it. It has won great admiration 

 wherever shown. It is the only rival of Her Majesty. 75 

 cts. each.

 R. G. Sherman, Crawford, Dinsmore, and Roses of that 

 type, it is a true Perpetual bloomer, every shoot being 

 crowned with a flower bud. 25 cts. each.

- - furnished only by us, as it is of recent

 markable beauty, and in habit of growth, size, and color 

 of flowers it resembles Baroness Rothschild. Flower is of 

 immense size, double and full. Color is bright clear pink. 

 Certainly one of the grandest Roses we have ever seen. 30 

 cts. each.
