Rose, Mrs. Degraw. Henderson. 



Rich glossy pink, fragrant, and a vigorous grower. Valuable for 

 flowers between July and August. Hardy. Originated some years 

 ago by Wm. Burgess. 



— Mrs. James Wilson. Various dealers. 



This resembles in form the superb rose Catherine Mermet. The 

 flowers are deep lemon-yellow, changing to white; the border of the 

 petals tipped with rose. (A. Dickson & Sons.) 



— Mrs. Jessie Fremont. Dingee & Conard Co. 



This is a seedling from Duchesse de Brabant, with not quite such 

 large buds, but large, perfectly double flowers, well filled and hand- 

 some ; color white, passing to deep rosy flesh, sometimes shaded 

 with coppery red or old rose. 



— Mrs. Paul. Various dealers. 



Has the vigorous habit and handsome foliage of the seed parent, 

 Mme. Isaac Pereire, as well as its thoroughly perpetual character. In 

 addition, it produces flowers of great beauty and exceptional distinct- 

 ness. The magnificent guard-petals, for smoothness of contour, size 

 and substance, are unsurpassed, while the pearly white color, some- 

 times suffused with peach, is very pleasing. Said to be the best 

 Bourbon offered in several years. (Wm. Paul & Son.) 



— Mrs. Wm. Watson. Various dealers. 



A cross between Madame Vidot and Merville de Lyon ; flowers 

 of a beautiful pink color, petals shell-shape, and of large size. The 

 blooms are large, full, of globular form, and are produced freely on 

 stiff, erect shoots ; the growth is vigorous, foliage large and hand- 

 some. (Dickson.) 



— Pearl Rivers. Dingee 6° Conard Co. 



The result of a union between Devoniensis and Mme. de Watteville. 

 It partakes of the leading characteristics of both parents, but resem- 

 bles the latter most closely ; the flowers are large and quite full, with 

 fine, peachy red buds. The ground color is ivory-white, having the 

 petals delicately shaded and bordered with pale rose. 



— Pink Rover. Various dealers. 



Flower very large, double ; a vigorous grower ; tender rose of 

 delicate shade ; very free, extra good, quite similar to Malmaison, 

 but brighter in shade. Bourbon. (Wm. Paul & Son.) 



— Professeur Ganiviat. Various dealers. 



Vigorous in growth, and free in bloom ; flower double and of good 

 form, of the color of Souv. Th. Levet. Tea. See Annals for 1890, 50. 



— Progress. Various dealers. 



Color brilliant rosy carmine, with yellow shadings at the base of 

 the petals. The flower is large, nearly double, and the form of Louis 

 Van Houtte. Very free in flower, and a fine grower. Hybrid tea. 



— Red Pet. Vick. 



Color, bright dark crimson. Free bloomer. Similar in habits to 

 Polyantha White Pet. Tea Polyantha.
