Fairy Rose Seed (The only genuine *^ Baby Rose ^\ 



(Rosa MULTIFLORA NANA PeRPETUA.) 



This is the true New Hardy Hybrid Perpetual, Ever-Blooming- Rose, which will surely 

 blossom in sixty days. This variety is entirely new and very expensive, and must not be 

 confounded with seed sold as '' Polyantha" or " Multiflora,"' which simply means "many- 

 flowered," and will not bloom under four to six months, and altogether inferior in every 

 way. These Roses are a wonderful freak of nature. These sturdy little Midgets start to 

 flower in babyhood, two months from seed. They flower on little shoots three inches high. 

 With age the flowers increase in size and number, until large trusses of bloom cover the 

 plant from spring until frost, when the flower trusses are closely followed by clusters of 

 bright red hips or seed pods. They are hardy and live from year to year, increasing in 

 beauty and perfection each year. The flowers come double, semidouble, in many colors, 

 white, pink and crimson. Packet, 3 capsules, 20 seeds, with " Jadoo" for sowing, 15c.

T'he New Tfaisy Rose " SNOWFLAKE." 

 A Dainty Dwarf, Hardy, Everblooming Rose, Equally Useful for 

 the House, Greenhouse, or Garden." 



Snowflake is an American seedling of 

 Clothilde Soupert, and Paquerette, two of 

 the prettiest and most floriferous roses in 

 existence. It is dwarfer than Paquerette, 

 and even a freer bloomer than Clothilde. 

 The dainty little buds are light pmk, with brighter centre ; the flowers when fully opened are pure white, and 

 measure about an inch across, densely filled with little petals, like Double Daisies. 15e. each ; 2 for 25c. ; 5 for 50e.
