bloomingr and healthy Tea Rose that we can recom- 
mend to everyone desirinK larjfe flowers, lonK stems 
and continuous bloom. The buds are long and 
pointed, opening? out into a well-shaped flower of 
creamy white, delicately tinffed with Kolden yellow 
and rose. 
GLOIRE LYONNAISE. This jrrand Rose is the 
only yellow Hybrid Perpetual we have. It can 
not be called deep yellow, but rather a pale shade 
of chamois or salmon-yellow, deepest at center, 
sometimes pasainj? to a rich creamy white, finely 
tinted oranpre and fawn. The flowers have all the 
beauty of Tea Roses, are large, full and deliKhtfuIly 
sweet. This we consider one of the very best Roses 
we have ever seen.

deepening to salmon in matured flower. Buds are

bloomers.

nificent variety. One of the most popular sorts.

JUBILEE. In this Rose we have a grand addi- 
tion to the list of dark-colored Hybrid Perpetuals. 
It has been thoroughly tested, and found to possess 
most excellent qualities. Of vigorous growth, yet 
short-jointed and compact, it takes a place in the 
front rank of hardy garden Roses ; color pure red, 
shading to crimson and maroon at the base of petal, 
forming a coloring equaled by that of no other 
Rose. The buds are long, held up by long, stout 
flower-stems, making it valuable for cut-flowers. 
KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. A beautiful 
Rose, with elegant, large, pointed buds and very, 
lar;ge, full-double flowers ; color delicate, creamy 
white, deliciously fragrant. The plant is a strong, 
healthy grower and constant bloomer. 
LA FRANCE. A delicate, silvery rose, shaded 
with cerise-pink, often silvery pink, with peach 
shading; very large, double and of superior form.

healthy foliage, as well as for its magnificent

Hybrid Perpetual, with fine flowers of soft, delicate 
pink, with satin cast.

bloom continually and furnish large, well-shaped, 
sweet-scented blooms. It succeeds anywhere and 
in any soil ; an excee<Ungly strong, vigorous grower.

outlined bright rose : occasionally the entire flower 
is suff^used w^ith pink.

great profusion : color white, beautifully flushed

yellow ; deepening to coppery yellow at the center, 
delicately tinted and shaded with dark orange-red : 
flowers of extra-large, globular form, very double

MADAME FRANCISCA KRUGER. This Rose 
has taken a foremost position as one for general 
culture, and its striking color and free growth 
gives it popularity wherever grown. It is a beauti- 
ful coppery yellow with large flowers. Unlike any 
other Rose in our list. 
MADAME HOSTE. Lovely white Tea Rose. 
The size of the bud certainly startles the beholder, 
being long and pointed, and of a lovely creamy 
white. Niphetos held first place for long, large 
buds until Madame Hostc was introduced, when 
she gracefully yielded the queenly honors to her 
fair rival. A strong, sturdy grower, with hand- ; 
some foliafre. Both buds and flowers are of extra- ; 
ordinary size and beautifully formed, with large 
outer petals. 
METEOR. We have no red Rose that is better 
for general purposes, or that gives as many 
periect-shaped flowers on nice. long stems. The 
color is rich, velvety crimson, exceedingly bright 
and attractive. The plant is of vigorous growth, 
and very free flowering; a constant bloomer. Fine 
for summer bedding or pot culture. 
. MARIE GUILLOT. One of the standard varie- 
ties of Tea Roses which as yet has not been equaled 
by any Rose of its color : splendid for any use.

pure white, sometimes tinted pale yellow.

with rich, healthy foliage and large flowers on 
jong, straight stems ; color deep rosy pink, the 
inner side of petals silvery rose. One of the very 
best of all the Tea Roses, and a great favorite. 
Equally valuable for pot culture or outdoor planting.

class Roee for garden planting 
or pot culture ; habit of growth 
is vigorous ; very free bloomer, 
A beautiful shade of rosy bronze, 
changing to salmon and fawn,

MAID OF HONOR (Carmine 
Mermet). Flowers borne on long 
stems, in form somewhat larger 
and exceeding in size and num- 
ber of its petals. Color carmine- 
pink (when we say carmine we 
.mean all that the word implies), 
shaded brilliantly on the outside 
petals, color increasing in in- 
tensity toward the end of the 
petal, and approaching the center 
of the bud each petal increases 
in intensity of color. From our 
knowledge and experience in 
growing Roses, we do not hesi- 
tate to say that this is one of 
the greatest acquisitions to the 
Tea family. 
PRINCESS BONNIE. One of 
the finest dark-colored Tea Roses. 
Very nearly hardy in most parts 
of the country. In color, solid 
crimson. A splendid Rose in 
every way ; always in bloom and 
most vigorous in growth. Is al- 
ready a prime favorite, and will 
be planted even more extensively. 
. PAUL NEYRON. The largest 
in cultivation and one of the 
most prolific bloomers ; color 
deep, clear rose, very fresh and 
attractive. The plant is an ex- 
ceptionally good grower, making 
straight shoots 4 to .'> feet high, 
in one season, each shoot tipped 
with an immense flower, often 5 
inches in diameter. We always 
recommend Paul Neyron when a 
good, hardy pink or rose-colored 
Rose is desired. 
NIPHETOS. An elegant Tea Rose, very large 
and double, deliciously sweet : color pure white, 
highly valued for its lovely buds, which are very 
large and pointed. 
PAPA GONTIER. An excellent crimson Tea. 
and one of the best for all purposes. It has a 
perfect-shaped bud on good length of stem, making 
It desirable for cut-flowers, and when planted out- 
side the flowers open up nicely and are of an 
attractive carmine-crimson ; should be included in 
every collection of Hoses. Very profuse and con- 
tinuous in bloom.

stage from the smallest bud to the open flower.

Rose, of good form, very double and frargant.

ail this collection that attracts more favorable 
comment than this one. A very prolific bloomer, 
and the blooms are of excellent form and size.

passing to brilliant carmine : flowers large, very 
double and full, and highly scented : a healthy and 
vigorous grower, and a constant bloomer from June 
till frost. The outer petals are broad, round and 
decidedly recurved, showing the short, closely set 
inner petals. 
QUEEN'S SCARLET. In this variety we have 
a hardy, everblooming crimson-scarlet Rose, a 
combination of qualities that make a valuable Rose 
for garden culture : a bed once established is a 
mass of bright scarlet bloom the entire season.

vety red : exquisite fragrance ; continuous bloomer. 
SOUVENIR VICTOR HUGO. Bright China-rose 
with copper-yellow center ; other petals suffused

bloom, and for a pure white bedding Rose its equal 
is hard to find. On account of its freedom of 
bloom and form of growth called White Hermosa. 
SAFRANO. An old favorite. Bright apricot- 
yellow, changing to orange and fawn, frequently 
tinted with rose. Desirable for outdoor planting, 
is very fragrant and nicely shaped.

Rose for general cultivation. It grows rapidly and j

highly, claiming that Washington himself named 
the original, which is now standing on the grave 
of Martha Washington. 
WHITE MAMAN COCHET. A sport from that 
grand sort. Maman Cochet, with which it is iden- 
tical in every respect but color. It is a beautiful

Everbloomins: Climbing Roses 
As free blooming as the ordinary Tea 
and of a strong, vigorous, climbing habit. In the 
South, where they stand the winters, nothing can 
compare with them for beauty of foliage and 
flowers. They may be kept out-of-doors in the 
North by laying them down and covering well with 
leaves or Utter. We have a long list of Climbing
