size and fine pink color. Much more like La France

tinted ndth blush; one of the most beautiful Roses we

ing Rose. Price, 10 cents; two-year, 30 cents. 
WHITE MICROPHYLLA 
A well known old variety; a very strong climber, 
bearing large, pure white flowers. A very flue va- 
riety. 
MRS. ROBERT PEARY 
(Climbing Kaiserin.) 
is, without doubt, the grandest of all white 
Climbing Roses. _ It is the first and only white, hardy, 
ever-blooming Climbing Rose, and as such meets a de- 
mand that has never before been supplied. Small 
plants bloom continually the first season, lust as the 
parent, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, does. The flowers 
are something grand. They are the equal of the finest 
and most beautiful cut flower Roses. Of splendid sub- 
stance. They are extra large, full, deep and double, 
and are produced on long, stiff stems like a forcing or 
cut flower Rose. The buds are long and pointed, ex- 
quisitely modeled and gracefully finished. Both in bud 
and flower it is truly beautiful. This is the greatest of all 
Climbing Roses. Price, 10 cents; three-inch pots, 15 
cents; two-year, 25 cents. 
EMPRESS OF CHINA 
The Apple Blossom Rose. 
This is a new hardy climber that possesses great 
merit. It is a strong, rampant grower, and a very free 
bloomer. Flowers of good size from pointed buds; soft 
red, turning lighter as It opens. It blooms from May 
to December in the open ground. It will, in our esti- 
mation, become a standard variety for florists’ use to 
bloom in pots for market puriioses. as it is such a free 
and persistent bloomer. Introduced from China. 
The World-Renowned Rose, 
MARECHAL NEIL 
A beautiful deep sulphur-yellow; very full, very 
large and exceedingly fragrant. It is the finest yellow 
Rose in existence. It has a climbing habit, and where 
It IS permitted to grow until it has attained a large 
size, as it will in a few years, it yields thousands of 
beautifu: golden-yellow flowers. Especially desirable 
In the South. 
The Superb New Scarlet Rose, 
CLIMBING WOOTTON 
This elegant new Climbing Hybrid Tea Rose is one 
which promises to be a prime favorite wherever intro- 
duced. Everything good that can be said of the grand 
Rose Souvenir of Wootton can be said of this Rose, 
and more, too. The flower.s are large and of a beau- 
tiful velvety-red color, and the perfume is elegant
