discount on this offer of ten for $1), purchaser's selection of varieties. Where noted, we can also furnish

American Beauty. (H. T.) Very large double 
flowers ot a deep drimson color, and highly fragrant. 
2-year-olds, 40 cts. 
Augustine Guinoiseau. (White La France.) The 
best recommendation we can give to this magnificent 
new Rose is to say that it is a white La France, with 
just a breath of rose-tinted blush delicately clouding 
the depths of its broad, luxuriant petals. The buds 
and flowers are extra large, very full and finely formed, 
and delightfully perfumed; the plant blooms all through 
the season. 2-year-olds, 40 cts. 
Augustine Halem. (H. T.) Extra large and 
handsome, full, well-developed buds and flowers, hav- 
ing good, thick, wax-like petals of excellent substance ; 
color clear, bright rosy red, verging to deep, rich crim- 
son ; very beautiful. 
Beaute Ineonstante. (Tea.) Color bright capu- 
cine red, shaded and lined with deep carmine and 
bright yellow. The colors are variable, and often upon 
a single plant there are what to the casual observer 
would be three different varieties of Roses. Flowers 
semi-double, buds long, well formed. 
Bridesmaid. This new Rose retains all the good 
qualities of its parent, Catherine Mermet. The buds 
are of exquisite shape and color, and are borne on long 
stems. The color is the most beautiful pink imagin- 
able. 
Christine de None. (The Double Papa Gontier. ) 
This beautiful new red Tea is a very charming Rose, 
and promises to be one of the best of recent introduc- 
tion. It is particularly valuable because red 
has been a very scarce color among Tea Roses, 
and this one seems exceptionally fine. It is a 
splendid grower, making a large-sized, graceful 
bush, with bright, deep green foliage. A con- 
stant and very free bloomer. The flowers are 
well borne upon long stems, and are usually 
large and handsome. 2-vear-olds, 35 cts. 
Climbing Niphetos. The bloom is identical 
with that of the old Niphetos, having the same 
long, pointed, pure white buds, but the plant is 
of climbing habit. 
Climbing Perle des Jardins. Same as 
the grand old Perle des Jardins, and equally 
good in every way, but of vigorous climbing 
habit; valuable for training to greenhouse 
rafters, walls, etc. It will produce 10 buds 
where Marechal Niel has one. 4-inch pots, 25 
cts.; 2-year-olds, 50 cts. 
Countess Eva Starhemburg. (Tea.) This 
bud is long in form, opening into a fine double 
flower of great beauty and heavy texture ; color 
creamy white, shading to ochre at the center ; 
borders of the petals touched with rose. 
Crimson Rambler. The plant is of very 
vigorous growth, making shoots from 8 to 10 feet 
during the seaoti, rendering it a charming pillar 
Rose. It is also magnificent in bush form, 
and for covering buildings, trellises, etc., it can- 
not be excelled . One of the striking character- 
istics of this Rose is its remarkable color, which 
is of the brightest crimson, which remains un- 
dimmed to the end, showing none of the objec- 
tional purplish tint so common in crimson Roses. 
The flowers are produced in great pyramidal 
panicles or trusses, each carrying from 30 to 40 
blooms, the individual flowers measuring about 
1 to 1 54 inches in diameter and remaining per- 
fect on the plant for upwards of 2 weeks with 
their freshness of color Unimpaired. The 
is bright green and glossy, and contrasts 
with the bright crimson of the flowers. It is 
exceedingly hardy, having successfully with- 
stood the test in exposed situations two very 
severe winters. Large plants, 25 cts. each. 
Crimson Rambler. 
Duchess of Albany. (H. T.) This novelty is 
similar to La France, but deeper in color, more ex- 
panded in form, and larger; flowers deep, even pink, 
very large and full, and highly perfumed ; in all 
respects a Rose of first quality. 2-year-olds, 35 cts. 
Eliza Fugier. (Tea.) A seedling from Niphetos, 
which it greatly resembles in form of bud, while the 
color is deep cream, sometimes edged with pink. It 
is very free in bloom, and has handsomer foliage and 
better habit than the parent. 4-inch pots, 25 cts. 
Puerstin Bismarck. (New Tea Rose.) A very 
variable colored Rose, changing from China rose 
color to cherry red, the whole suffused with lemon. A 
strong, vigorous new variety from Germany. This is 
a very promising variety; one of the best new Roses. 
Gloire de Dijon. (Climbing Tea.) Noted for 
the great size of its flowers, its delicate tea scent, and 
its exquisite shades of color, being a blending of 
amber, carmine and cream ; one of the finest Roses. 
It is a very vigorous climber in the south, sending up 
splendid, stout crimson canes, 6 or 8 feet high in one 
season. The foliage is also very handsome.
