GENERAL CATALOGUE OF PLANTS. 
Nathalie de Serbe. (Tea.) A charming 
new French rose. It is a strong, vigorous 
grower ; the flowers are borne in great 
profusion, being very beautiful in bud. 
But the open flower is the crowning glory ; 
it is so double there seems no room for 
another petal, those on the outside being 
very large and graduating toward the 
center, wnere the bloom is slightly quar- 
tered ; shell-pink, brightest at the center. 
Sappho. Buds fawn color, suffused with 
rose, the opening flowers shaded yellow 
and tawny-buff ; centers deep, bright yel- 
low ; large, full and globular. Blooms 
with prolusion, even for a Tea; petals 
large and of much substance. 20 cts. 
Snowflake. (Tea.) White; a pure Tea; 
the freest-flowering white rose we have 
seen ; the flowers are not large, but are 
fine both in bud and when in full bloom ; 
it is constantly in bloom. 
Souvenir de Wootton. (Tea.) The finest 
everblooming red rose ever sent out ; vel- 
vety red, equal to Jacqueminot, with a per- 
fume that cannot be excelled ; a showy 
grower, every shoot containing a flower- 
bud, making it the most continuous 
bloomer ever introduced. A full, double 
rose, with fine buds. 
The Queen. A grand globular white rose 
of queenly form, borne on long stems; 
a free grower and free bloomer. 
White Pearl. (Tea.) A magnificent new 
rose; a sport from Perle des Jardins ; 
foliage darker and rougher than Perle ; 
throws up long, slender, stiff canes, each 
one bearing a pure white bud of something 
more than medium size, and quite upright. 
Every flower can be cut with a very long, 
closely foliaged stem, which we consider 
a strong point of beauty in a rose. It has 
the delicate tea fragrance. 
ROSES OF SPECIAL MENTION. 
Under this head we give a few of the roses to which we wish to call your attention par 
ticularly, because of their popularity or peculiar excellence. 
American Beauty. Very large 
double flowers of a deep crim- 
son color, and highly fragrant ; 
the cut blooms always bring a 
high price. 25 cts. 
Antoine Verdier. (Hybrid Tea.) 
A beautiful variety ; flowers 
brightsilvery-rose ; shaded and 
tinged with a very rich carmine ; 
a very free bloomer. 15 cts. 
Dinsmore. (Everblooming.) The 
flowers are large, perfectly 
double, and of a dazzling scar- 
let-crimson color, and have the 
rich, spicy fragrance peculiar to 
the best Hybrid roses. We have 
proved the Dinsmore to be en- 
tirely hardy, and can recom- 
mend it as being the finest gar- 
den rose ever offered. It blooms 
incessantly, and is one of the 
most beautiful of all bedding- 
roses. 25 and 50 cts. 
La Prance. Silvery-rose, chang- 
ing to pink ; very large and 
full ; a most constant bloomer, 
and the sweetest of all roses ; 
an invaluable variety, of the 
greatest beauty. 15 and 25 cts. 
Letty Coles. (Tea.) One of the 
loveliest roses grown, without 
exception. It is very double 
and cupped, forming a magnifi- 
cent, full, open rose of soft, 
creamy-white, with very bright, 
rosy-carmine center. This var- 
iety is a splendid grower and is, 
as it deserves to be, a universal 
favorite. Since it is certain to 
give delight wherever seen, it 
should be in every collection.
