same silvery luster seen in La France. Large, well-formed. Very beau- 
tiful in the bud. One of the most popular Roses for cut-flowers. 
The Superb Yellow Rose, MARECHAL NIEL. The most popu-

globular form in its last perfection, and are almost massive ’in dimensions. 
The reports from Southern growers tell of single plants showing one and 
two thousand blooms of Marechal Niel at a time. 
New Rose, THE RAINBOW. This new Rose from California, which, 
no doubt, will be extensively planted, was awarded a silver cup by the 
State Floral Society. The color is a lovely shade of deep coral-pink, 
striped and mottled in the most unique manner with intense crimson, and 
elegantly colored with rich, golden amber at center of base of petals. It 
makes beautiful buds and the flowers are extra large, very sweet, and of 
great depth and substance.

white Tea Rose. It is a sport from Catherine Mermet, with which it is

better white Rose. It is the finest blooming white Rose we offer. 
SOUV . DE LA MALMAISON. This grand old variety, when used as a bedding Rose in summer, has

dry summers.
