KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA.— This beautiful 
Rose has not only a royal name, but it is a royal Rose 
as well. We have white Roses that have elegant buds, 
but when full blown are not all that Is desired. Then 
again, we have white Roses that are elegant when full 
blown, but have poor buds. This Rose combines both 
these good qualities. Is a continuous bloomer, produc- 
ing successive crops of buds and flowers in the greatest 
profusion. Buds are very beautifully formed, with large 
petals of best substance. It shows no center when fully 
open; color pure, snowy white; and when you add a 
ricn perfume, coupled with a vigorous growth, what 
mpre could you ask? This Rose is an easy winner over 
all competitors in its color, and we predict that more

MARIE GUILLOT. The Queen of White Roses. — Any 
one who has never seen this splendid variety growing at 
its best in tte open ground cannot conceive of the lovely 
beauty of its large, bold and handsome flowers. We

is flrst-class in every respect. The color is pure, snow- 
white, sometimes faintly tinged pale yellow. The flow- 
ers are magnificently made, extra large, full and double; 
the buds are very pretty; fragrance very sweet. Of it 
color it has many kinds, but as yet no equals. 
SOUVENIR DE PRESIDENT CARNOT.— Large, full 
double, exquisitely shaped flowers, with heavy, thick, 
shell-like petals. The buds are long and pointed like 
Niphetos — perfection in every line. The color is new, 
delicate rosy blush, shaded a trifle deeper at centre of 
the flower. Fragrance deliciov.s; strong grower and free 
hljomer.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 
ROSES of this class produce the largest and most 
beautiful flowers and the varieties offered below are all 
thoroughly hardy. Some sorts do not bloom until the 
second year, but when thoroughly established tbey 
bloom very freely at the usual season, June and July, 
and at intervals throughout the balance of the summer 
and fall. They should Invariably be planted In the open 
ground, being adapted for out-door cultivation rather 
than for house culture. They will stand a considerable 
amount of hardship and neglect but improve greatly 
with good cultivation and rich soil. The quantity and 
size of blooms will be greatly increased by severe prun- 
ing each spring. All rough and scraggy wood should be 
cut away entirely and the other shoots be cut back 
enough so as to leave only two or three eyes to grow.
