CLIO. The finest flesh-colored Hybrid Perpetual. The flowers are simply perfection in form, with fine, broad 
petals, and are beautiful at all stagos of development, from the small bud to the full, open flower; color delicate 
satin blush, with a light shading of rosy pink at the center. Very free blooming, and strong, healthy grower. 
EUGENE FURST. Undoubtedly one of the very best dark Roses of its class. In growth and foliage it is every- 
thing that could be desired; strong and vigorous, with thick, healthy foliage. The flower is a beautiful 
shade of velvety crimson, with distinct shading of crimson-maroon. 
JUBILEE. In this Rose we have a grand addition to the list of dark-colored HybridPerpetuals. It has been thor- 
oughly tested and found to possess most excellent qualities. Of vigorous growth, yet short-jointed and com- 
pact, it takes a place in the front rank of hardy gar- 
den 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. 
HELEN KELLER. Clear, bright satin rose, a very 
pleasing and distinct shade; a fine, large flower, 
very full and nicely scented; a free and continuous 
bloomer, commencing to flower among the first and 
continuing until late in the fall. 
MARGARET DICKSON. Unquestionably the great- 
est acquisition made in Roses for the last ten 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 in a single year, and wo have no hesitation in 
saying it is the best white Hybrid Perpetual for 
planting in the garden. White, with pale flesh cen- 
ter; 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. 
TOM WOOD. No Rose in our rose field the past 
summer attracted more attention or bloomed more 
freely than did Tom Wood. It is a bright cherry 
red, and gives an abundance of bloom early and late. 
The plant has thick, heavy foliage and grows in an 
excellent, compact form.
