est, Sweetest and Best 
of all Hardy Roses. 
r This is perhaps the grandest and most beautiful rose now known. It is 
a genuine Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose. For immensity in size, rich color, 
exquisite form and delicious fragrance it stands without an equal. It is 
a quick and bushy grower and a continuous bloomer, makes magnificent 
buds and large, deep, double flowers, and is valuable both for house and 
garden culture. Color is a rich, rosy crimson, shaded and veined in the 
most charming fashion; fragrance is wonderfully sweet, not surpassed by 
any Rose we know. Strong two-year-old dormant plants 40c, each, post- 
paid; or $4,00 per doz., by express, or freight. 
BARONESS ROTHSCHILD. 
A MAGNIFICENT HARDY HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSE. 
The flowers in color are bright rosy pink, of immense size and globular 
form, somewhat cupped and well filled to the center, as shown in our illus- 
tration. 
In habit of growth this variety is splendid, being very strong and possess- 
ing large, heavy foliage, which by virtue of its toughness is especially free 
from mildew and insect attacks, rendering it very valuable in open ground. 
It is perfectly hardy and blooms twice and frequently three times in a season. 
We recommend it as one of the grandest and most satisfactory Roses in 
cultivation. Same price as American Beauty. 
HARDY MEMORIAL ROSE. 
(WICHURIANA.) 
A trailing species from Japan creeping on the ground almost as closely as 
an ivy. The foliage is a deep rich, glossy green, shining as if varnished. 
The blossoms are pure white, while the sepals form a large yellow disc in 
the centre. It is perfectly hardy everywhere, the foliage remaining green 
and glossy until Christmas. It is appropriate for covering graves and 
cemetery plots; for arbors, trellises, rocks, stumps, embankments or any 
other unsightly places. Strong 2-year-old plants, 40c. each; or 3 for $1.00 
postpaid; $3.00 per doz., by express.
