ROSES, continued 
General Jacqueminot. A probable seed- 
ling from the Hybrid China, Gloire des 
Rosamanes. Brilliant crimson; not full, 
but large and extremely effective; fra- 
grant and of excellent hardy habit; forces 
well. 
Gem of the Prairie. A cross between 
Prairie Queen and Hybrid Perpetual; a 
half climber and hardy; a little lighter 
than Prairie Queen, and very beautiful; 
blooms freely. 
Harrison's Yellow. The old yellow 
Scotch Rose, well known by all; very hardy 
and a profuse bloomer. 
John Hopper. A seedling from Jules 
Margottin, fertilized by Mme. Vidot. 
Bright rose with carmine center; large 
and full. A profuse bloomer; standard 
sort; hardy. 
Killamey. Color flesh, shaded white, 
suffused pale pink flowers; large buds, long 
and pointed, and blooms profusely through- 
out the season. 
Madame Charles Wood. Brilliant red; 
large and full; of fine form; a fine autumn 
bloomer. 
Magna Charta. A hybrid that is very 
fine early in the season; color bright 
rose; large and full. 
Marshall P. Wilder. Raised from the 
seed of General Jacqueminot. It is of 
vigorous growth, with healthy foliage; 
flowers large, semi-globular, full, \vell 
formed; color cherry-carmine, much like 
a light-colored Marie Baumann, or a 
shade deeper than Marie Rady, and very 
fragrant. In wood, foliage and form of 
flower it resembles .\lfred Colomb, but 
the seedling excels that famous variety 
in vigor, hardiness and freedom of bloom. 
It continues to bloom profusely long after 
the other remontants are out of flower. In 
brief, it may be described as an improved 
Alfred Colomb, and as good a Rose as 
has been raised by any one. It is undoubt- 
edly the finest of its color. 
Mrs. John Laing. An exceptionally 
handsome and free-blooming Rose, of vig- 
orous growth and fine habit. The color is 
a soft and delicate shade of pink; the 
flower is large and well formed, very frag- 
rant and produced on good stems. A 
variety of especial value, as it blooms 
continuously in the open ground, and is 
also excellent for forcing, the buds selling 
at high prices. 
Madame Plantier. One of the hardiest 
of white Roses and a rank-growing plant; 
a profuse bloomer; flowers medium size. 
Paul Neyron. The largest Rose in cul- 
tivation, sometimes callecl the Peony Rose; 
color bright, fresh cerisc-rcd. The plant 
makes a strong, healthy growth, and has 
clean, glossy foliage; blooms almost with- 
out intermission from June until late 
October. 
Pink Moss. Deep pink buds, sur- 
rounded with delicate fringe-like moss. 
The most beautiful of all the Moss Roses. 
Perle des Jardins. Probably better 
known than any other yellow Rose grown. 
Beautiful clear yellow, distinct from all 
other Tea Roses. Very double. 
Prince Camilla de Rohan. A velvety, 
blackish crimson Rose, of deep distinct 
shade; large, full, very handsome. 
Prairie Queen. A well-known and much 
admired climbing Rose; a rank grower 
and profuse bloomer; flowers large, dou- 
ble and red. Have known plants of this 
variety to have over a thousand blossoms 
on at one time. Probably the best climb- 
ing Rose for this latitude. 
Red Moss. Stalks, flowers and buds 
covered with fine thorns, much resem- 
bling moss. 
Richmond. An exceptionally clean and 
strong-growing varietj', requiring only 
ordinary care and treatment, producing 
uniformly long, fine flower stems. The 
flowers are borne freely — as free as Bride, 
Bridesmaid, Golden Gate and other old 
standbys — lasting in quality, beautifully 
shaped and
