class of Roses, that to select the best dozen would be an 
unenviable task, but for a general collection the list above 
embraces those that have 
given splendid results in 
flowers, also proved with or- 
dinary Winter protection to 
be hardy in the vicinity of 
New York. 
Amongst the varieties ob- 
served the past season by 
the writer and which will be 
planted this Spring, are the 
"Lyon,” a glorious shade of 
coral red, tinged with 
chrome yellow, and "Lady 
Ashton,” color a sofr rose, 
produced on Hne long stems. 
The "Mrs. David Jar- 
dine” Rose is carried on long 
straight stems, making it an 
excellent variety for cutting. 
In color they are a magnifi-

flowers profusely in June and 
again through the hall.

these six listetl will give sat-

recommended as being of ex- 
ceptional beauty and worthy 
of a f)lacc in every planting

Since the introduction of 
the Crimson Rambler many 
valuable additions have been 
ackleil to the climbing Rose, 
both double and single vari- 
eties. 
.Amongst those with single 
flowers, ".'American Rillar”is 
a Rose of exceptional beauty, 
'i'he flowers arc borne in
