weiiesiey. ^vith Bridesmaid ;

bright, clear rose-pink, reverse of petals silver- 
rose; a vigorous grower, bearing its flowers

tinged with golden yellow and clear rose, making a 
flower of indescribable beauty. Blooms freely. 
Helen Gould. Tea. One of most beautiful and sat- 
isfactory Roses for general planting ever introduced in 
America. The flowers are full and perfectly double, the 
buds beautifully made, long and pointed. The color of 
a ripe, red watermelon. It is as hardy as La France. 
Price mailing-size plants, 3-in. pots, 15 cts.; 2-yr. plants, 
30 cts.; 3-yr. extra size, 
50 cts. 
La Detroit. H. T. 
The new Detroit Rose, 
which has been so largely 
exhibited and adver- 
tised. Shell-pink, shad- 
ing to soft rose, reverse 
of outer petals cream 
colored; fragrance like 
that of old Bon Silene. 
In form it is large, cup- 
shaped; petals shell-like. 
Rich, glossy foliage; a 
rampant, vigorous 
grower, producing long 
shoots. We do not think 
this Rose has been rated 
high enough. Price, 
mailing-size, 3-in, pots, 
15 cts,; strong z-yr. 
plants, 30 cts. 
La France. H. T. Accounts come to us 
from all quarters every year describing the 
great profusion of its bloom from June until 
frost, and extolling its fragrance and im- 
mense size. It is of superb form, and double 
as a Rose can be. No variety can surpass it 
in delicate coloring — silvery rose shades, 
with pink. It has a satin sheen over all its 
petals. Entirely hardy. 
Red La France (Duchess of Albany). 
H. T. A fine Rose of unusual merit, one that 
can survive, with slight protection, the win- 
ters of any locality. It is identical in every 
respect to La France, except in color, which 
is a pretty red when in bud form, but when 
open it changes to a carmine, A fine bedder . 
EtoUe de France. New Hybrid Tea Rose. 
In this new French variety we have a most 
valuable addition to our collection of Hardy 
Hybrid Tea bedding Roses and a fitting com- 
panion to such high-grade varieties as Killar- 
ney and La France. It is a strong, vigorous 
grower, with good dark foliage and flowers 
which are full and double, and as beautiful 
in the bud as in the full-blown flower, and 
borne on strong, upright shoots in the greatest 
profusion. In color it is distinct from all 
Roses in this class, being of a rich, velvety 
crimson with vivid cerise-red center. 
Pearl of the Gardens. (Perlc desJardins). 
The beautiful yellow Tea Rose. The one Tea 
Rose which you cannot possibly do withouL 
It has absolutely no weak point, but it is a 
perfect and popular Rose. The color is fault- 
less, whether the waxy petals show the rich 
cream tint of cool weather or take richer 
golden shades which a warmer sun gives them. 
The form of the bud is rounded and luxuri- 
ant Of vigorous growth; foliage abundant 
and handsome. Delightful fragrance; very 
fine for cutting. 
Price, mailing size, 3-in. pots, 10 cts. each; z-yr. plants, by express, 25 cts,
