/NEW -ROSES of SPECIAL 
ME-RIT. 
The following three varieties are of recent introduction and we deem 
them worthy of special mention. For summer cutting they are unex- 
celled and are very reliable. 
Meteor, Hybrid Tea— A rich dark Velvety crimson ever-blooming rose ; 
as fine in color as the best of the Hybrid Perpetuals ; the flowers are 
of good size, very double and perfect in shape, either as buds or 
when fully open. Asplendid sort for pot culture, and the best of all 
the Hybrit' as a bedding varietyoj r summer cut flowers, as it 
retains its color e.- .1 in the hottest weather ; with no shade of 
pnrple to mar its beauty, ist size 75 cents each, and size 50 cents 
each ; 3rd size 25 cents each. 
Souvenir de Wooten— This new American seedling has proved to be 
all that is claimed for it : one of the best new roses of recent intro- 
duction. In growth it is remarkably strong and vigorous ; the flower 
is of a velvety red color, finely pc-fumed. very prolific in its bloom 
ing qualities. The flowers are L ' tiful, either in the bud or fully 
open, and are very large. Its main recommendations are its great 
freedom from disease, strong habit of growth, and lasting 
qualities of the flower when cut. ist size 75 cents ; 2d size 50 
cents ; 3rd size 25 cent.s. 
TEA EVE-R BLOOM I TNG 
-ROSE— Madam Cusin. 
This is one of the greatest New York forcing varieties, and on 
acconnt of its peculiar ■ fancy color, commands an extra price. 
Ifhile not as stron- ciowers as the preceding two varieties, still 
It can be classed as a robust grower and is in every respect as 
floriferous. The c<jlor however, is where its main points of ex- 
cellence lie, being a soft shell pink with a delicate creani shade 
running through the entire flower ; of good substance and excel- 
lent lasting qualities. This, we think, when well known will 
prove to be one of the most popular Tea Roses of the d 
3rd size 25 cents.

ZAMIA IMTEG-R! FOLIA. 
M.-iUAM CUSIN. 
It is a well-known fact that no plant offered 
to-day is so popular or adds so much to to the 
beauty of house or lawn as the well-known 
Cycas Revolita or Sago Palm, but its 
extreme high price places it beyond the 
reach of all but the wealthy class. In the 
Zamia we have its twin brother, as hand- 
some in every respect, if not more attractive 
from its more fern-like appearance. The 
foliage is of a bluish green, very upright 
and majestic in its growth and very easily 
grown. It will succeed finely either in the 
house or as a specimen plant in the lawn. 
No person who loves plants can afford to 
overlook this splendid novelty. Price 25c. 
to $2.oo, according to size of bulb.
