Japanese or Rugosa Roses. 



We de.sire lo call especial attention to (he.se Roses, as (here are 

 Millie that will give more satisfaction or prove nmre interesting. 

 They are entirely hanJy, free from disea.se, or the a(tacks of ins. Hs 

 of any kind. The (lowers are single, very large and freely producid, 

 and are tbllowiHl by large scarlet fruit (hat contrasts lieautifully 

 with the peculiar green of their alinndant fidiage. We ofler two 

 varieties, a pure while and a brilliant crimson. Kir.<t size, To cents 

 each ; S.'< per doz.; Second size, .50 cents each ; V, per dozen. 



Waltham Climbers. 



.Seedlings from Gluire ik IJiJmi po.sse.ssing all the good ipialities 

 of that well-known variety. They flower abundantly, and until 

 late in the autumn, and are rccfunmended as supplying a long 

 felt want in the garden, namely, good barily crimson autumn- 

 flowering climbing Uoses with fine foliage. They are all rcil Roses, 

 but of distinct shades of color. No. 1 being the brighcsl, and No. :! 

 the darkest. Xo. 1 has received a Firsi-Cla.ss Certificate from the 

 Royal Horticultural .siaeiety; No. 2 is one of the sweetest Roses in 

 e.'tistenfc; No. :i is a fine show Rose. Not entirely hardy north of 

 Washington, I), f. Strong plants, 81 each. 



Paul's Single Hybrid Perpetual. 



The.sc Hoses, although single, are of great interst and beauty, anil 

 they should be added to every collection. The ctilors are pure 

 while and bright scarlet. Strong plants 81 each. 



Baroness Rothschild. 



This might well be termed (he " IJncen of Hoses," as nothing can 

 comiiare with the massive beauty of its (lowers, whieh are five 

 inches in diameter and an exquisite shade of .saiiny pink in color. 

 The heavy foliage conies close up to the flowers, making a most 

 effective background of green, thus giving the ell'ect of a lovely 

 bouquet rather (ban a single flower. II is perfectly hardy. The 

 flowers of Bnr<)tm.t Ilollmcliihl frequently sell at from i'l cents to 81 

 a (liece in New York during the winter months. .W cts. each.S-'i

Pierre Guillot. 



This variety is probably the strongest growing of all tlic Hybrid 

 Tea Rosis, and for .summer blooming, is the best of all. II is a bril- 

 liant crimson color, with delicious Hybrid fragrance, equaling in 

 these respects the well-known ".lack" Rose. It is very double, pro- 

 ducing beautiful (lowers all .summer long, even in the hodest 

 weather. With a little protection of hay or leaves about the roots 

 it will live out overwinter in the northern Slates. SO and .Wets,
