EMPRESS AVGUSTA VICTORIA. This beautiful rose has not only a royal name, but 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. It 
is a continuous bloomer, producing successive crops of buds and 
flowers in the greatest profusion ; the buds are very beautifully 
formed, with large petals of best substance. They show no center 
when fully open ; color pure snowy white ; and when you add a rich 
perfume coupled with a vigorous growth, what more 
could you ask? This Rose is an easy winner over all 
competitors in its color, and we predict that more of it 
will be planted than of all other white Roses combined. 
15 cts. each ; large 2-year-old plants, 30 cts. each. 
MARGARET DICKSON. Unquestionably the 
greatest acquisition made in Roses for the last 10 years. 
Some idea of its beauty and worth can be formed from 
the fact that wherever it has been exhibited in Great 
Britain it has carried off the first honors. No other Rose 
has ever received so many certificates of merit iu a single 
year, and we have no hesitation in saying it is the best 
white Hybrid Perpetual for planting in the garden. White, 
with pale flesh center ; petals very large, shell-shaped, of 
immense substance. The flowers are of magnificent form, 
produced singly on long, stiff stems, are very double, and 
have the true magnolia fragrance. The habit of growth is 
vigorous, with large and luxuriant foliage. Large plants, 
50 cts. each. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY. The leading Rose in the 
cut-flower market ; color deep rose. In foliage and size 
of flower it resembles the Hybrid Perpetual class. It is 
as fragrant as any of the hardy Roses, and this, together 
with its vigor, large size, beautiful color, long stems and 
continuous bloom, places it at the head of winter- 
blooming Roses. The half-blown buds are mag- 
nificent. 25 cts. 
BRIDESMAID. New. A sport from that old 
standby, Catherine Mermet. The variety retains 
all the good qualities of the parent, besides adding 
charms not possessed by it. All know that Catherine 
Mermet takes precedence as a pink Rose. More 
plants of it are cultivated by the amateur, and more 
cut blooms sold by the flower dealer, than from any 
other pink Rose. 25 cts. 
EMPRESS AUGUSTA VICTORIA. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT. This novelty introduces a 
new and remarkable class of bedding and pot Roses, com- 
bining the Tea and Polyantha blood. It is of very strong, vig- 
orous growth, forming a nice-shaped plant, and attaining about 
15 inches in height. The flowers are pearl-white, with a vivid 
carmine-rose center. 25 cts. 
THB BRIDE. A sport from Catherine Mermet, with 
which it is identical in growth and shape of flowers. One of 
the best for bouquets. Beautiful pure white. 25 cts. 
LA FRANCE. Delicate silvery rose, shaded with cerise- 
pink, often silvery pink with peach shading. Very large, 
double, and of superb form. It flowers continuously through- 
out the season ; in fragrance, incomparable ; in form, perfect. 
The sweetest and most useful of all Roses. 1 year, 25 cts.; 2 
years, 40 cts. 
MRS. JOHN H. LAING. This Rose begins to bloom 
early in the season, and continues to bloom profusely until 
late autumn. Color soft delicate pink, with a satin sheen ; 
very fragrant. 1 year, 25 cts.; 2 years, 40 cts.
