Tea Rose, " Papa Gontier." 



Fine foliage, showing distinctly the Duchess of 

 Edinburgh parentage, exceedingly free flowering, 

 very sweet, being free from mildew and keeping 

 double, it is one of the best summer roses for cut- 

 flowers, and surpasses Bon Silene for winter 

 forcing. The blooms are large and long, with 

 thick broad petals of a dark carmine crimson. The 

 inner petals are a bright rosy carmine, and light up 

 well at night. 



First size, 50 cents each ; $5.00 per dozen. 



Second size, 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



Comtesse De 



Freigneuse. 



A charming new j-ellow tea rose, very fragrant, 

 the buds are long and pointed, nearly equal in size 

 to Perle des Jardins, and are of a light yellow color, 

 somewhat similar to M. Niel. Its lovely color and 

 form, combined with its free blooming qualities, 

 will doubtless render it a popular rose. 

 30 to 50 cents each.
