h*?h 0 . E '« J he . 01d Favorite. We have always 
given this the first place, the queen of all the Roses. 
Accounts come to us from all quarters every year de- 
scribing the great profusion of its bloom from June until 
frost, and extolling its fragrance and immense size. It 
Is of superb form, and double as a Rose can be. No va- 
riety can surpass it in delicate coloring, silvery-rose, 
shaded, with pink. It. has a satin sheen over all its pet- 
r, ‘ * 8 universally regarded as the most useful of 
Roses, for it is hardy beyond question. It blooms con- 
tinuously. The flower is large, finely built, endures for 
a great length of time ami is exquisitely colored, and 
fragrant in the highest degree. A Rose of which one 
can never have too many. 
MADAME ANGELIQUE VLYSSET. (Striped La 
± ranee.) Striped La France combines all the good qual- 
Ries of La France in growth, fragrance, shape of bud 
and flower; in fact does not differ from it except in two 
points. First, it is freer in bloosi than the parent; sec- 
ond, it is nicely striped, the markings being plain and 
distinct, the variegation a beautiful bright rose on a 
satin-pink ground. 
AUGUSTINE GUINNOISEAU (White La France). 
Here we have a beauty indeed; one we can recommend 
to all, whether for outdoor culture or for pots in the 
house m Winter. If you were to ask us to select six of 
the very finest of Roses we would be sure to include it 
In the six. Do you know La France? If so, you know 
this elegant new Rose. It is identical with La France 
except in color. It is pearly-white, sometimes tinted 
"'itb fawn. Don t fail to get this new Rose. 
DUCHESS OF ALBANY (Red La France). A superb 
Rose; resembles La France, but is much deeper in color, 
hence the name Red La Franc?. It is a continuous and 
free bloomer, producing a great abundance of lovely 
buds and flowers all through the season; extra large, 
elegant in form, very double and full; remarkably fra- 
grant; color brilliant rose pink, exquisitely shaded. It 
is recommended as one of the largest, sweetest and best 
Roses for general planting in open ground or green-

If you want Roses that will give you absolute satis- 
faction from the day they are planted, we would urge 
that you plant these famous varieties. They bloom the 
first and every year from early May until severe freez- 
ing weather. We have seen them uufold perfect flow- 
ers even after a severe snow-storm. Of dwarf, stocky, 
uniform growth, they possess valuable qualities found 
in no other Roses. There are Roses ns good, but cer- 
tainly none better. Be sure to try them. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT. The best bedding or pot cul- 
ture Rose known. Color a French white, deepening to 
a rosy-blush in the center, exceeding in distinctness of 
shadings the well-known Malmaison. Its greatest value 
lies in its compact, vigorous habit, and wonderful pro- 
fusion of bloom, even the smallest plants being literally 
covered with flowers. The form and substance of the 
flowers are so perfect that the hottest weather does not 
cause a deterioration of either, so that even in mid- 
summer a bouquet of splendid buds and open flowers can 
be obtained from this fine variety. Too much cannot be 
suid Jn praise of this Rose for bedding purposes. It de- 
servedly earned its title of the “Premier Bedding

Rose." Valuable as it is for garden purposes, it Is 
even more so for pot culture, and ranks first for bloom- 
ing in the house. It is entirely exempt from the di» 
ea ses usually affecting Roses in the house. 
MOSELLA. (Yellow Soupert.) This is everybody’s 
o * ulIy as flt ‘e blooming as Clothilde Soupert or 
l ink Soupert, and like them a strong, dwarf, bushy 
grower. Flowers are very double and of the same Ca- 
melia-like torrn as Clothilde Soupert. Produces im- 
mense clusters of flowers that are really beautifully 
formed. Buds exceedingly dainty aud attractive. The 
color is white on beautiful light yellow ground, which 
becomes a chrome yellow in the center of the flower. If 
you want a genuinely satisfactory Rose take our ad- 
vice and try this variety. Hardy, without protection as 
far north as New York City and if covered during the 
winter with a mulch of leaves or straw it can be grown 
almost any where that other roses succeed. 
PINK SOUPERT. Identical with Clothilde Soupert, 
except in color of flower. Has the same stocky, sturdy 
habit of growth, blooms as freely, with large, handsome 
flowers, same form as Clothilde Soupert. Color rich 
dark, shining pink, sometimes nearly red. Young plants 
commence to bloom in May and continue to give crop af- 
ter crop of flowers until late in October. Small plants 
frequently produce 50 perfect flowers at one time.

MARION DINGEE. — Marion Dingee is a rose of extra- 
ordinary value. It is a strong, vigorous grower, making 
a handsome, graceful bush, with large, thick, deep 
green leaves. The flowers are large, beautifully cup- 
shaped, moderately full, and are produced in wonderful 
profusion all through the growing season. The flowers 
are borne nearly upright, oa long, straight stems, and 
are of excellent substance, having thick, leathery petals, 
bolding their form and color a long time. The color is, 
perhaps, the most remarkable feature. It Is a deep, 
brilliant crimson, one of the darkest, if not the very 
darkest and richest-colored Ten Rose in existence. 
METEOR. — One of the brightest colored and most 
brilliant Roses we have, and is highly recommended . for 
bedding and general planting, as well as for growing in 
pots and conservatories. The color is rich, velvety 
crimson, exceedingly bright and striking, and both buds 
and flowers are large and elegantly formed, fully double

and borne on nice long stems. Vigorous and healthy; 
quick and constant bloomer; moderately hardy 
PAPA GONTIER.— A grand Red Ten, of flue crimson 
shade and silken texture (as distinct from velvotv tex- 
ture) The bud Is of fine size ami graceful form.' Ex- 
tremely free, both in growth and bloom. Very long and 
beautifully leaved stems can be cut, the foliage being 
very dark and heavy. One of the best, and a perfect 
bedder. If you desire a good Rose, one that will give 
entire satisfaction you should procure this one as it Is 
a plant of groat value. 
PRINCESS BONNIE. — Princess Bonnie is one of the 
loveliest of the new ever-blooming Roses. It has no su- 
perior and very few equals. Its color is indescribable. 
A richer, deeper crimson was never seen in a Rose, 
while its fragrance is even more subtle and delicate 
than that of La France. It is a profuse bloomer and ns 
easy of cultivation as the most ordinary Rose. Indeed 
one finds in Princess Bonnie every attribute one longs 
for in the Rose, and it might well be called the perfec- 
tion Rose.
