PAUL’S NEW CARMINE PILLAR ROSE. 
Large single flowers 3£ to 4 inches across, and of the brightest possible rosy-carmine, which are produced so abundantly that the last 
year’s shoots, some ten to twelve feet long, were covered from base to top with large bunches of flowers breaking from every eye, the 
flowers in the bunches opening in succession. It seems absolutely hardy, and in every way admirably suited for planting in 
shrubberies and rosaries for effect. It is a great acquisition to Climbing Roses on account of its colour, its free, bold growth, and the 
sw r cet scent of its bloom. Each 7s. 6d. 
CHINA ROSE— DUKE OF YORK. 
The flowers are variable in colour between rosy-pink and white ; sometimes pale with deep red centres, sometimes white edged and tipped 
with deep rosy-pink, in the way of Homer , but the pink shade deeper than in (hat variety, and the contrast of colour therefore more 
striking ; always beautiful, and quite distinct from any other Roso ; it is of vigorous growth and good habit ; a splendid constantly 
flowering decorative Rose. Each 7s. 6d. 
NEW AZALEA— Mollis X Sinensis. 
ANTHONY ROSTER. A splendid, perfectly hardy hybrid of Azalea Mollis and Azalea Sinensis. The flowers are individually 
large, the petals broad, robust, and of a brilliant orange-yellow shade, shot with rose. It is a useful plant for flowering early under 
glass, and is altogether a superb type, brilliant in colour, and remarkably free, simply covering itself with blooms. It is one of the 
handsomest Azaleas in cultivation, and should be included in every collection. Each 7s. fid. 
NEW CANNA— KOENIGIN CHARLOTTE (Pfitzer). 
A superb variety. Very vigorous, with enormous and massive foliage; the spikes, on which the individual blooms arc arranged bouquet- 
wise, are very large, and stand out well around the foliage: the flowers are large with well-rounded petals, bright red, edged one-eighth 
of an inch wide with gold, the contrast of colour giving a novel and effective appearance to the plant. Award of Merit, Royal 
Horticultural Society. Also Highest Awards at Antwerp, Paris, Lyons, Mayence, &c. Strong plants, each 2s. fid.
