NEW ROSES OPJSPECIAL MERIT, con. 
Queen’s Scarlet. (China.) A grand 
old red bedding variety. It can be planted 
anywhere; entirely hardy. The flowers are 
large and fiery scarlet, a color seldom seen 
in Roses. 
Safrano. A fine old Tea Rose. It is a 
variety of great value, particularly for 
outdoor planting. It grows vigorously 
and has the vitality necessary to produce 
a continuous crop of flowers from early 
summer until late in autumn; quite hardy. 
The color is bright apricot-yellow, chang- 
ing to orange and fawn, sometimes tinted 
with rose. Very fragrant. 
White Bougere. Tea. Blooms of great 
substance; pure white; strong stems and a 
great bloomer. 
Hermosa. China. An old favorite. It 
is always in bloom and always beautiful. 
The flowers are cupped, finely formed and 
full. Color the most pleasing shade of 
pink, soft but deep. The best market Rose 
grown. 
Marie Van Houtte. Tea. Magnificent 
in the open ground. Extra-large, full, 
double flowers. Canary-yellow, passing 
to creamy white; shaded rose. 
Mrs. R. Cant. Tea. A most beau- 
tiful and_^worthy variety, somewhat re- 
-sembling the famous Papa Gontier. 
The plant is a very free grower and 
bloomer; the flowers arc large, full 
and double; dark carmine, shaded 
and flushed with lighter rose. This 
is a good, worthy sort, and will soon 
become one of the real standards. 
Champion of the Worid. China. 
It is quite hardy and possesses 
that delicious old-fashioned Rose 
fragrance so much sought after in 
an evcrblooming variety. 
The Rainbow. Tea. Color a 
lovely shade of deep coral-pink, 
striped and mottled in most unique 
manner with intense carmine, ele- 
gantly colored with rich golden 
amber at the center of base of 
petals. Makes beautiful buds; 
flowers extra large, sweet, and of 
great depth and substance. 
La Princess Vera. Tea. With-

general planting, particularly for 
bedding in the open ground. The 
color is rich ivory-white, shaded and 
veined with coppery yellow, and 
delicately penciled with pale blush. 
Clothllde Soupert. A strong, 
vigorous grower. The flowers are 
large, double and beautiful in form, 
with style of the beautiful Rose. 
Ball of Snow. They are borne in sprays 
and the color blends from a soft shell-pink 
to a pure satiny white. Roses with both 
these colors are borne on the same plant 
at the same time. Unequaled in flowering 
qualities. 
Mad. Francisca Kruger. A striking- 
ly handsome Ro.se, one of the very best for 
open -ground culture. It is especially 
adapted to bedding or massing. Holds 
its foliage under all sorts of adverse con- 
ditions. The flowers are deeply shaded 
coppery yellow in color, and are of large 
size. A strong and vigorous grower and a 
good and constant bloomer.

buds of great beauty; fine flowers; rich 
crimson-scarlet. 
Snowflake. Tea. Pure white; not pink. 
Coquette de Lyon. Tea. One of the 
best yellow Roses. This exquisite variety

canary-yellow Tea Roses in cultivation 
for open ground culture. 
Duchesse de Brabant. A bright China 
Rose, with coppery yellow center, ends of 
petals suffused with carmine. A charming 
beautiful combination of coloring, as
