M.«o?e?i»° (Golden Sun.) 
The first of a new race of roses, originated by M. Pernet-Duclier. 
It is the result of a cross between the well-known Persian Yellow and 
the Hybrid Perpetual Antoine Ducher, and is characterized by M. 
Fernet as a perpetual flowering variety. We append the description 
from the originator : 
'* This magnificent variety, like the Persian Yellow is perfectly 
hardy. It retains a good deal of the character of the Persian Yellow, 
the bark of the wood being reddish, the thorns very fine, the foliage 
more ample, and the leaves of a beautiful clear green, are close to- 
gether. Its growth is robust, very vigorous, making plants three 
feet in height. The flowers are large, full and globular, measuring 
3)^ inches across, and fragrant ; buds conical shaped; color superb, 
varying from gold and orange-yellow to reddish-gold, shaded with 
nasturtium red. The color stands the sun well." This should be a 
very valuable rose. 
Price strong field grown plants $1,00 each, per 10, ^8.50. 
Lighter grade plants 75 cts. each, per 10, $6.2$. 
^=.^h^u«lo,« Dorothy Perkins. 
In this rose we have an ideal companion for the now universally 
popular Crimson Rambler. This rose, if possible, is even a more 
vigorous grower than the Crimson, has a far more brilliant glossy, 
green foliage, which is retained late into the fall, and the blooms 
which are produced in the greatest possible profusion, are of that 
clear, silvery, lively pink, so much sought for in a hard3^ rose. This 
rose is sure to be a great favorite. 
Heavy field grown plants, $1.00 each, ^8.50 per 10. 
Ivighter grade plants, ^.50 each, ^^4.25 per 10. 
g^^dSf^Lx Coquelicof. 
The French word for poppy ; so called on account of its brilliant 
color — bright orange-scarlet — almost the exact shade of an oriental 
poppy. Exceedingly brilliant, being the brightest phlox yet intro- 
duced. Price strong field grown 25 cts. each, ^2.25 per 10. 
Lighter grade, 15 cts. each, $2.25 per 10. 
New Hardy 
Garden Daisy 
These wonderful daisies of which a great deal has been written 
in the horticultural press the last year, are the work of Mr. Luther 
Burbank of California, to 'whom we are indebted for so many fine 
introductions. Flowers are of the purest glistening white, of enor- 
mous size — about four inches in diameter — and are borne on long, 
strong, stiff", wiry stems, about two feet in length. The flowers are 
produced in the greatest profusion, plants remaining in bloom for 
several months. They are perfectly hardy perennials, blooming 
better and more abundantly each season, and will make a valuable 
addition to our list of hardy perennials on account of the abundance 
of flowers produced and their wonderful size. For cutting, the 
flowers are very effective. Prof. Bailey of Cornell University, who 
has seen this growing in Mr. Burbank 's grounds in California, states, 
*'If it bears out its promise in other climates, it will be joy to the 
garden. " 
This last summer it has been in bloom at the nursery, and is 
fully up to our anticipations. Mr. Burbank states that more admi- 
ration has been bestowed on this Shasta daisy by visitors than upon 
any other flowering plant growing on his grounds, and with good! 
reasons, for to-day no other flowers can compare with them for use- 
fulness. Strong field plants, 50 cts. each, $4-50 per 10. 
Lighter grade plants, 25 cts. each, $2.25 per 10.
