TEA OR EVER-BLOOMING ROSES. 
Of this class of roses we are only offering the best and leading sorts, specially adapted for 
winter-blooming, although most of tlicm are also good summer roses. Besides these mentioned 
here, we have some twenty other varieties which we can recommend.

highly for bouquets and decorative purposes; deep rose color, sometimes bright rosy crim- 
son, occasionally pale light rose; very sweet and beautiful. 35 cents. 
Catharine Mermet. A very beautiful Tea Rose, valued highly for its elegant buds: color, 
clear shining pink, with delicately shaded amber and fawn centre; large globular flowers: 
one of the ve.-y finest varieties, a strong healthy grower and good bloomer. 35 cents. 
Cornelia Cook. This beautiful Tea Rose is in great den.and for its magnificent buds, which 
are of innnense size and of the most lovely and perfect form imaginable : color, pure 
creamy white, sometimes faintly tinged with pale lemon and blush. 35 cents.

licious Tea fragrance; extra large size, very full and beautiful; a constant and profuse 
bloomer. 35 cents.

snow white, sometimes faintly tinged with pale rose. It is highly valued for its lovely 
buds, which are remarkably large and fine, and particularly valuable for Irauquets, etc. 
Price, 35 cents. 
Souvenir d'Un Amie. A lovely Tea Rose; extra large globular flowers; very lull and de- 
liciously sweet ; color, deep rosy flesh, beautifully shaded with rich carmine; edges and 
reverse of petals silver rose; a strong, vigorous grower and profuse bloomer. 35 cents. 
Sunset. Identical in every respect with that hitherto unequalled rose, Perle des Jardins, ex- 
cept that its color, instead of being a canary yellow, as in that variety, is of the rich tawny 
shade of saffron and orange, similar but deeper than the coloring of Safrano or Md. Falcot. 
In size, vigor and productiveness, it is in all respects the same as the variety from which it 
sprung, except that the color of the young foliage is much deeper crimson, which contrasts 
lieautifully with the orange tinted saflVon flowers. As a new color lor winter forcing it will 
be as largely grown as Perle des Jardiiis, if not more so, as the peculiar richness of shade 
is much prized, and it will be e(|ually valuable as a summer-blooming rose out -doors. 
Price, 35 cents. 
WILLIAM FRANCIS BENNETT, the new Crimson Tea Rose. This is the 
finest red Tea Rose in cultivation lor winter-blooming and for growing for cut-blooms, at 
all seasons. It is a vigorous grower, every shoot producing a bud, with the richness of 
color and quality of flower as that of General Jacqueminot: it is highly scented, and in 
color and free blooming can not be surpassed. Price, Si. 00 each; 25 for $20.00; 50 lor 
S30.OO; 100 for J50.00.
