A ifALUABLE flEtf f^O^E, 



" Climbing Perle des Jardins." 



A grand new Eose of American 

 origin which we take pleasure in 

 offering to our customers, believing 

 that it will give satisfaction to 

 every purchaser. It is a "sport" 

 from " Perle des Jai-dins, " that 

 iine variety which furnished the 

 "Sunset" Eose introduced by us 

 a few years ago, and now it has 

 produced this grand climbing 

 variety', which is also ever-bloom- 

 ing. In this new sort we have all 

 the good qualities which made its 

 parent famous, viz., strong, health}- 

 constitution, freedom of bloom, and 

 the delightfully fragrant deep yel- 

 low flowers familiar to every lover 



of choice Eoses. "When to these excellent traits we add 

 that the new ' ' Climbing Perle " is a most rampant running 

 Eose some idea of its great value may be had. For the 

 South it will be particularly valuable, as it is entirely 

 hardy there, while for a pillar Eose in the conservatory 

 it will be invaluable. Even the smallest size will make 

 fine plants this season. 

 Price, large stock plants, $1.00 each.

CLIMBING PEELE DES JAKDIKS. (Flowers J^ natural size.) 



EVERY one wants a HARDY 

 EVER-BLOOMING ROSE^ 

 and when our attention was called 

 to the grand variety shown in the 

 accompanying engraving, we at 

 once took steps to procure it. 

 Following our usual practice we 

 gave it a thorough trial before 

 offering it, and we are glad to 

 say that it has fully justified the 

 high opinion formed of it when first 

 seen by us. It is with the greatest 

 pleasure, therefore, we announce 

 to our customers that we can confidently recommend it as being ENTIRELY 

 HARDY, equaling the tender sorts in profusion of bloom. From early sum- 

 mer until frost it may be depended upon to produce flowers in abundance.. 

 In color it is a rich glossy pink, delightfully fragrant, and is such a strong,, 

 vigorous grower that it is almost impregnable against attacks of the insects 

 which usually destroy some of our finest Roses : thus it is certain to be un- 

 equaled for the garden or cemetery. This superb variety was raised by Mr. 

 Wm.Burgess some years ago, but remained almost unknown until we brought 

 its merits before the public. Read what that excellent authority, Mr. Wm. 

 Falconer, says about it in a letter to the "American Florist," an extract from, 

 which we print in the upper left-hand corner of the engraving. The sketch 

 was made from nature by our own artist, and shows the wonderfully prolific 

 blooming qualities of this grand Rose. Every shoot is loaded with flowers 

 as shown. Note our price for this season.

fl pine ClifTibing Hose, 



" Clinibins: Niphetos." 



A sport from the dwarf "Niphctos." It is a true climbing variety, having 

 the same pure white, long pointed buds as its parent, and is destined to- 

 become popular as an out-door climbing Eose— in the South especially — 

 where it is perfectly hardy. Introduced at the same time as the climbing- 

 variety described above, they constitute two of the most valuable Eoses in 

 their class, and should be planted side by side wherever fine climbing 

 Eoses are wanted.
