HARDY

We offered this collec-

ceived so many flatter- 
infr commendations from 
customers who purchas- 
ed tliem that we feel 
tliey are the liardiest and 
'best collection of Roses 
ever sent out. Conse- 
quently we have propa- 
gated an immense stock 
of these varieties and 
again offer the collec- 
tion, knowing that it 
cannot fail to give per- 
fect satisfaction.

MABCrABET DICKSON. Distinctively a garden Rose, and 
the be.st while Hybrid Perpetual; combining the sterling quali- 
ties of entire iiardiness, very vigorous growth, and i-epeated 
blooming, with the fragrance, beauty of form, and waxy tex- 
ture of the finp.st Tea Roses. The Hower is of magnittccnt form 
and very large. In color it is the most beautiful waxy-white, 
shining with almost the luster of a pearl. 
MABSHAIiIi P. WIIiDEB. Flowers are large, semi-globular, 
full and of good substance; color bright scariety crimson, richly 
shaded with maroon; very fragrant. Should be planted more 
generally, as its ease of growth, freedom of bloom and fine 
flowers mal<e it a most desirable rose. 
MBS. JOHN IiAINO. Rich satiny-pink, large and full, de- 
licious fragrance. This fine variety cannot be too highly 
praised. For freedom of bloom it is unsurpassed in its class, 
being nearly einial to the Monthly Roses in that respect. This 
delightful variety should be planted everywhere. 
Por 50 cents we will send, by mail, postpaid, the abOTe collection of 
dormant plants for $1.50 by express, at purchaser s expense. 
FAUi; mSYBON. Probably the largest Rose in cultivation, 
and one of the best bloomers. Color a bright shining pink, 
clear and beautiful. The plant is an exceptionally strong grow- 
er, often mailing shoots 4 to 5 feet in one season, each shoot 
bearing an immense flower. A rose we highly recommend. 
FBINCESS OAMIIiIii: DE BOHAN. The Black Hose. This

liandsome, fragrant flowers and the freedom with which tliey 
arc produced. Tlie color is a deep, rich, velvety crimson, pass- 
ing to intense maroon, sliaded black; at a short distance they 
appear really black. This is one of the most handsome Roses 
we have ever seen. .It is the nearest Ijiack; altliougli the same 
claim is made for others, this variety is tlie darkest.

most devoid of thorns.
