NEW HARDY 

 EVER-BLOOM1 NG 



ROSE 

 Janice fleredith." 



A new variety raised by E. G. Hill, from 

 whom we purchased the entire stock. It is 

 a cross between Hermosa and LaFrance, 

 two of the best ever-blooming Roses we 

 have and well established favorites. It in- 

 herits the most valuable characteristics of 

 each in blooming qualities, fragrance, vigor 

 and abundant blooming. It is a magnificent 

 bedding Rose, rich, rosy, carmine-pink flow- 

 ers, broad and deep, well-opened, petals 

 beautifully cupped and gradually recurving 

 from the centre. The color is beautiful in 

 all its phases, changing from rosy carmine 

 to satiny pink. Even in the hottest weather 

 it is double to the centre, holding its petals 

 well and keeping a long time when cut. The 

 fragrance is delightful. Price, 3-inch pots, 

 25c. each, $2 50 per doz., $20.00 per 100.

"Balduin " 



Hybrid 



Tea Rose 



This Rose has been offered also under the name of 

 Helen Gould. The color is unique, a very soft intense 

 carmine-crimson, with deeper shades in the depths of 

 the petals, in color very like "American Beauty" 

 The profusion of bloom is truly marvelous every 

 shoot producing a flower. It is a grand acquisition 

 to our red Roses. It is invaluable as an outdoor 

 bedding variety on account of free habit, hardiness 

 superb color and fine double flowers. Price plants

Ne ve»ose SOLEIL D'OR. 



[GOLDEN SUN] 



The forerunner of a new race of Roses, the above variety is in a class 

 by itself and, in honor of the raiser, the new species has been named 

 Rosa Pernetiana. Soleil d'Or, or -Golden Sun," is the result of a cross 

 between Persian Yellow and Antoine Ducher. It retains a good deal of the 

 character of the former in the wood and bark, but the foliage is vastly 

 improved, being very plentiful, large, and a beautiful clear green closely 

 resembling that of the Crimson Rambler at its best. The habit of the 

 plant is robust, producing vigorous shoots in abundance, branches straight 

 and of good size; the bark is reddish brown, making a charming contrast 

 for the vivid green foliage. The coloring of the flowers is very rich the 

 buds are conical, a marvelously rich shade of chrome yellow with a glint 

 of coppery rose m the centre. The expanded flower is full, large and 

 glob ilar, the centre petals being well incurved, forming a perfectly double 

 bloom. The coloring in the fully expanded flower is gloriously superb 

 Turneresque in its blending of reddish gold, orange-yellow, nasturtium 

 red and opaline pink. Words are inadequate to fittingly describe the al- 

 most riotous luxury of rich, warm color contained in each bud and open 

 flower. Pages could be filled without doing justice to this peerless variety 

 A Hardy Yellow Rose, one that is really hardy in the North in this coun- 

 try, has been the goal for which the world's best hybridizers have been 

 ?uJ, ng i or J ears Thousands of seedlings have been obtained in which 

 the blood of the Persian Yellow was present, but none of them was of suffi 

 Cient merit to offer, when at a bound this perfect variety appears upon the 

 stage amid the enthusiastic applause of all who have seen it. Already six 

 first-class prizes have been awarded to it, one at Paris last summer and 

 its career has hardly yet begun. Considering the great merit of this var- 

 iety, and its scarcity, we are able to offer it very low
