ROSES, 
Catherine Mermet. (T.) Silvery rose; large, 
well formed ; very beautiful in bud ; delight- 
ful perfume. 
Clothilde Soupert. (P.) Pearl white with 
rose center ; blooms in clusters, and a con- 
stant bloomer. 
Crested Moss. (M.) Deep pink buds, sur- 
rounded with a mossy fringe and crest ; a 
fragrant, very beautiful rose. 
Crimson Rambler. (Japanese.) A climb- 
ing rose ; vigorous, strong, rapid grower, 
handsome, shiny foliage and produces in 
wonderful abundance clusters of bright 
crimson, semi-double roses. A thing of 
beauty and of great value. 
Duchess of Albany. (H. T.) A sport from 
La France ; form and fragrance very like La 
France, but a deeper, richer color. Known 
also as “Red La France.” 
Etoile de Lyon. (T.) Large, full ; deep, 
canary yellow ; a strong grower and constant 
bloomer ; one of the finest. 
Fisher Holmes. (H. P.). Similar to Gen. 
Jac. but a shade darker and richer; flowers 
are fuller and more freely produced. Re- 
garded as an improvement on the “Jack.” 
General Jacqueminot. (H. P.) A very bril- 
liant crimson ; very fragrant ; one of the best 
known sorts and in favor everywhere. 
Her Majesty. (H. P.) Very large, bright 
silvery rose- colored flowers ; one of the most 
beautiful in form and shade ; beautiful foli- 
age ; vigorous grower. 
John Hopper. (H. P.) Bright rose, with 
carmine center, large and full, semi-globular ; 
light red thorns, stout bushy growth ; a free 
blooming, standard sort. 
La France. (H. T.) Silvery rose, chang- 
ing to pink, very large, full, globular ; a most 
constant bloomer and the sweetest of all 
roses. No garden complete without it. 
La Marque. (Noisette.) White with sul- 
phur center, sometimes pure white, very 
large, full, somewhat fragrant. A superb 
climbing rose, quite too much neglected. 
Louis Van Houtte. (H. P.) Crimson-maroon, 
medium size, highly perfumed. Well and 
favorably known. 
Madam Caroline Testout. (H. T.) Hardy; 
constant, free bloomer ; color a brilliant 
continued 
satiny rose, deepening at center to clear red. 
Most beautiful in bud, which is very large. 
Madam Gabrielle Luizet. (H. P.) A beauti- 
ful silvery pink, slightly fragrant ; a free 
bloomer, both summer and fall. 
Madam Georges Bruant. (Rugosa type.) 
Pure white, fragrant and produced in clusters 
at intervals during the summer. Foliage a 
heavy, dark green, and unlike other sorts ; in 
the bud state is long and pointed ; semi- 
double in full bloom. 
Madam Plantier. (Hybrid China.) During 
the season of bloom it is covered with pure 
white, very double flowers of medium size, 
and full, flat form ; blooms very early in the 
summer ; small foliage ; perfectly hardy ; it 
is a fine sort for hedging or massing. 25 cts. 
each. 
Magna Charta. (Hybrid China.) Pink, suf- 
fused with carmine, large, full globular; a 
fragrant, excellent variety. 
Margaret Dickson. (H. P.) Bloom of mag- 
nificent form, very large, rivaling Paul Ney- 
ron in size and late-blooming qualities. A 
beautiful, rich, shiny white ; hardy and very 
desirable. 
Marechal Niel. (Noisette.) Its fame is 
world-wide. It is unquestionably the very 
best ever-blooming climbing rose, with no 
fear of a successful rival. Deep, rich yel- 
low, and of the most delightful and lasting 
fragrance ; perfect in form, both bud and 
flower. Strong plants, 50 cts. each. 
Marie Van Houtte. (T.) Pale yellow, the 
edges of petals often lined with rose, well 
formed, of good habit and in every respect a 
most charming sort. 
Meteor. (H. T.) A rich, dark, velvety 
crimson color ; constant bloomer ; very fra- 
grant ; flowers very double and borne on 
long stems. A beauty. 
Niphetos. (T.) White, sometimes tinged 
with yellow ; long, large, pointed buds, the 
petals thick and durable. A very beautiful 
variety under glass, hardly suited for the 
open air. 
Papa Gontier. (T.) Fragrant and sweet, 
perfect shaped buds, and of the deepest 
glowing crimson color ; profuse bloomer ; 
keeps longer after being cut than most any 
other sort.
