FIVE ROSE PLANTS 



BURBANK ROSE.— This lovely Rose was raised by Mr. Lu- 

 ther Burbank, and is the only variety out of seventy-five thou- 

 sand which he raised that he was willing should bear his name. 

 This Rose is the only rival that the famous variety Champion of 

 the World has. The color is described as cherry crimson — it is, 

 in other words, the very deepest and brightest pink Rose in 

 cultivation. 



ADMIRAL SCHLEY— Red Burbatik.- This is a new bed- 

 ding Rose of great excellence sent out by Mr. John Cook, of 

 Baltimore, who has originated a number of our finest Roses. It 

 is best described as a red Burbank. A very free bloomer, and 

 we doubt if there is a better red Rose with handsome buds that 

 can be used in everyone's garden as this one. 



MADEMOISELLE FRANCISKA KRUGER— Closely allied 

 to Catherine Mermet, and resembles it in everything save 

 color. In its shading of deep coppery yellow it stands unique 

 and distinct from all others. The flower, when open, is of good 

 size and very symmetrical. 



MRS. ROBERT PEARY —This is one of the finest Roses of 

 recent introduction. The flowers are extra large, full, deep 

 and double. Foliage very rich, blossoms pure white and ex- 

 quisitely fragrant. Its most remarkable quality is that of _ _ 

 blooming continuously throughout the first year. ' bubbank. 



MADAME JOSEPH SCHWARTZ.— A Rose on the style of the popular Duchess de Brabant. Color a 

 very delicate blush pink, shading up to a slightly flushed white. Blossoms beautifully cup shaped and 

 very fragrant.

Four Splendid Chrysanthemums 



THE GREAT NEW YELLOW GOLDEN WEDDING.-This fine 

 variety swept everything before it at the New York and Philadelphia 

 exhibitions In color it is a deep, bright gold of shining texture. It 

 Is very large in size, the petals are both long and broad and channeled 

 lengthwise. Of most beautiful form, very free in growth; first-class 

 exhibition variety. 



IVORY.— Unexcelled for pot culture or cutting; pure white flower 

 fo exquisite form and finish. Has been shown in grand shape at all 

 recent exhibitions; it is especially noticeable for its grand globular 

 form and absolute purity of color. 



PRESIDENT WM. R. SMITH.— Color of Daybreak Carnation, a 

 pure self-pink. The form of the flower is very beautiful in all its stages; 

 it opens with a center incurving in a circle enclosed in broad outer 

 petals; it gradually a-sumes the true Japanese form, rounded and deep, 

 changing to the informal reflexed; perfectly double; a splendid keeper; 

 especially fine for cut flowers and exhibition blooms. 



GLORY OF THE PACIFIC— It is of magnificent size and depth, 

 with broad yietals which finely reflex, showing the clear pink color to 

 excellent advantage. Of large size and good form; this variety will 

 delight every grower.
