MRS. ROBT. PEARY — (Climbing Kaiserin Augusta Victoria) — A sport 
from that grand hardy ever-blooming rose, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. It has 
the same beautiful creamy white flowers, and splendidly shaped buds, and in 
addition a remarkably strong climbing habit of growth, sending up shoots 10 
to 12 feet high. 
REINE OLGA de WURTEMBURG— The people of the south would do well 
to employ this beautiful sort for covering verandas and trellises. Color a rosy 
carmine, suffused with yellow. 
REINE MARIE HENRIETTE— A strong growing red climbing rose. A 
grand pillar rose. Flowers full and well formed. 
REVE d’OR — One of the grandest climbing roses; a splendid robust climb- 
er with the very best of foliage; a good plant will soon go to the top of a two 
story house and cover space proportionately large the other way; such a plant 
in full bloom, with its graceful flowers of delicate coloring is a charming 
sight. Color, apricot yellow with orange and fawn tints; petals of superb and 
delicate texture; flowers moderately full; always pretty and graceful, whether 
in bud or full bloom; a very profuse bloomer. 
SOLFATERRE — Fine, clear sulphur yellow, large, full and double. Very 
sweet. 
WHITE BANKSIA— White and yellow; thornless. 
WM. ALLEN RICHARDSON — Beautiful, orange yellow; flowers small; 
very fine and floriferous. 
POLYANTHA ROSES. 
CLOTH1LDE SOUPERT — The best known and most popular Polyantha. 
It is as free blooming as a rose can be, commencing to bloom when but three 
or four inches high, and is never after without bloom if kept in a healthy 
growing condition. The full double flowers are produced in sprays of three 
or more and are the finest imaginable form. The outer petals are pearl white. 
BABY RAMBLER — This great novelty originated at Orleans, France, and 
is a hybrid produced by the crossing of Crimson Rambler and Glorie des 
Polyanthus. It preserves the prolific flowering qualities of the latter, but 
with the color of the Chimson Rambler (clear brilliant ruby rose). The foliage 
is of a fine polished dark green and is never attacked by insects and fungus. 
It blooms in clusters and is very continuous. The time of blooming of the 
first umbet is not ended when the adjacent branches are ready to open with 
a considerable number of flowers, so that the period of blooming is not inter- 
rupted until after severe frosts. This rose will be very popular on account of 
its cluster formation being similar to that of the Crimson Rambler, and more 
particularly because it is covered with flowers the whole summer. It will be 
especially valuable for culture in pots. The winter of 1903-1904 was the most 
severe experienced in years. The plants stood outside during all that winter, 
without any protection whatever. Spring found these bushes alive to the tips 
of their branches. We have no hesitation in saying that the bushes of Dwarf
