Jonkheer J. L. Mock. 
— IS a giant 
Rose from Holland, and grows to great 
size, usually outstripping all the va- 
rieties around it. The flowers are big and 
round, of the general type of La France, 
and a bright pink faced with carmine. 
They are borne freely on long stems and 
are valuable as cut-flowers, the firm, 
heavy texture of the petals making them 
keep well. Also excellent for bedding. 
It is almost thornless. Price, i-year 
mailing size, from 3-inch pots, 25 cts.; 
strong 2-year plants, 50 cts.; extra 3-year 
plants, 75 cts.

grant. As a cut-flower it stands without 
Roses, contiaued

— Hybrid I ea Rose, espec-

White Killarney. This variety pos- 
— scsses all the 
good points of, and is identical in every 
way with, its parent, except in color, which 
is of a clear white. Its parent, Killarney, 
though introduced only ten years ago, 
has for several years been one of the 
most popular Roses. White Killarney 
has great freedom of bloom, beautiful 
form, and perfect hardiness, which, to- 
gether with its purity of color, assures for 
it the same popularity. In naming a select 
list of leaders for general planting, I 
should certainly include White Killarney, 
because 1 know its merits so well. Price, 
strong mailing size, 15c. ; 2-year plants, 35c. 
La France. P'^k. Accounts come 
'• from all quarters every

extolling its fragrance and immense 
size. It is of superb form, and double 
as a Rose can be. It is famed for 
its delicate coloring — silvery rose 
shaded with pink. It has a satin 
sheen over all its petals. Entirely 
hardy. Price, mailing size, 15 cts.; 
strong 2-year plants, 30 cts. 
White La France, or Augustine 
Guinoisseau. Recommended to 
all, whether for outdoor culture or

finest Roses, I should be sure to 
include it in the six. It is identical 
with La France, except in color. 
It is pearly white, sometimes tinted 
with fawn. Price, mailing size, 
15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 30 cts.

rose on a satiny pink ground.
