New Hardy Ever-blooming Rose. 



admiral DEWEy. 



HNEW Hybrid Tea Rose raised by Mr. J. H. Taylor, one of 

 the largest growers of Roses for the New York Market. It 

 is of the largest size, very free flowering, blooming 

 continuously throughout the year, whether planted 

 out in the open ground or grown in pots or on 

 benches in the greenhouse. It has been 

 tried in the open ground and has been 

 proved hardy in the vicinity of New 

 York. Thousands of it are grown in 

 greenhouses for the critical New 

 York market, where it has been 

 enthusiastically received by 

 connoisseurs in fine Roses. 

 The ground color is a light 

 flesh tint, almost white, suf- 

 fused with a beautiful 

 blush, deepening to a ro- 

 sy blush in the centre 

 a large full Rose with 

 broad, strong petals 

 beautifully cupped. 

 The stems are strong 

 and straight, hold- 

 ing the flowers 

 erect. The raiser 

 thought so highly 

 of it that he 

 deemed it worthy 

 of being named in 

 honor of America's 

 great Admiral, 

 and received a let- 

 ter of thanks from 

 Admiral Dewey 

 for naming such 

 a beautiful Rose 

 in his honor. We 

 were so impressed 

 with its beauty and 

 excellence that we 

 purchased a large 

 stock of it and offer 

 it very low for such a 

 grand new Rose. (See 

 cut herewith and col- 

 ored plate in retail cat- 

 alogue.) Price, plants 

 from 5 inch pots, $4.00 

 per doz. ; 3 inch pots, $14.00 

 per 100 ; 2 inch pots, ready 

 April 1st, $8.00 per 100. 



Mrs. Robt. Garrett. 



A valuable variety for winter forc- 

 ing. It is a difficult matter to des- 

 cribe the coloring of a Rose ; much of 

 the coloring is due to its form and its 

 semi-transparency, and is generated as it 

 were in the Rose itself. A shallow Rose can- 

 not have the beautiful color effects seen in a Rose 

 like Mrs. Robert Garrett, which is of remarkable depth, 

 even in the fully opened flower. Its petals are of great sub- 

 stance, containing more than the ordinary amount of coloring 

 matter. Speaking broadly, the general color effect of this Rose 

 may be described as being a glowing shell-like pink. Price, 

 strong one year old plants from pots, $16.00 per 100 ; 3 inch pots' 

 $6.00 per 100. 



New Polyantha Rose, "SNOWBALL." 



Dwarf, compact habit, and a bounteous blooming quality which 

 is really wonderful. Blossoms white as snow and resembling a 

 , Camellia in compactness and purity of color, are produced in large 

 ■clusters. As a pot or border plant, it is unexcelled in this section 

 of Roses. Price, plants from 3 inch pots, $8.00 per 100.

HIS fine, new Hardy Ever-blooming Rose we show on the 

 colored plate in our retail catalogue. The color is unique, 

 a very soft, intense carmine-crimson, with deeper shades in 

 the depths of the petals, in color very like ' Amer- 

 ican Beauty." The profusion of bloom is truly 

 marvelous, every shoot producing a flower. 

 It is a grand acquisition to our red Roses, 

 and is equally valuable for winter forc- 

 ing or for summer blooming in the 

 open ground. Mr. John Cook, of 

 Baltimore, Md.. the raiser of 

 Souv. de Wotton, Mrs. Robt. 

 Garrett, and other fine Roses, 

 wrote to us as follows : " I 

 would like to draw your 

 attention to the new red 

 Rose, 'Balduin* (or Red 

 Kaiserin) the best clean 

 carmine or red Rose 

 yet introduced. I 

 have grown it now 

 for four years and 

 can guarantee it as 

 the best outdoor 

 Rose in its color. 

 We have a fine 

 stock of this grand 

 new Rose and 

 offer it very low 

 considering its 

 great merit and 

 its rarity. We 

 have everv confi- 

 dence that this 

 grand new Rose 

 will attain the 

 very widest popu- 

 larity as an out- 

 door bedding var- 

 iety on account of 

 free habit, hardi- 

 ness, superb color 

 and fine double flow- 

 ers. Price.rlants from 

 5 in. pots $5 .00 doz.; 3 

 in. pots, $20 per 100; 2 

 in. pots, $10 per 100. 



JUBILEE. 



A true Hybrid Remontant 

 Rose, perfectly hardy, bloom- 

 ing in the fall as well as in the 

 early summer, very vigorous, 

 large, dark green foliage, one of 

 its distinguishing features ; short- 

 jointed, long flower stems, and 

 branches freely, blooms most abundantly, 

 three flowers and over on each shoot, the 

 ideal habit for a hardy garden Rose. The 

 flowers are very large, reaching six inches across, 

 under good cultuie ; outer petals partially reflexed and 

 recurved, the centre petals upright and very gracefully disposed, 

 giving grace and finish without showing the centre ; they last a 

 long time when cut. The buds are long and rounded, the petals 

 falling away gracefully, revealing the rich velvety texture. The 

 fragrance is strong, delightfully rich and very lasting. 



Its Wealth of Color. A pure red in its deepest tone, shading 

 to deep crimson red and velvety maroon red in the depths of the 

 petals. Mr. F. Schuyler Matthews, the celebrated artist, said, 

 "This Rose contains the darkest color, combined with 

 pure color, of which nature is capable." Price, one year 

 plants, from pets, $16.00 per no; from 3 inch pots, fs.oo per 

 100.
