tect shape, both in bud and blossom, while its color is a rich, deep, rosy pink, darker and richer than Her-

New Roses of 
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. This is a 
Rose that every one will like to possess. Plants 
from 3-inch pots, 15 cts. ; 4-inch, 20 cts. ; 6-inch, 35 cts. 
BARONNE H. DE LOEW (Nabonnand). A 
strong-growingd warf Tea Rose, flowering in clusters ; 
silvery rose, shaded with yellow at center, reverse 
of petals bright rose. 15 cts.; plants from 4-inch 
pots, 25 cts. 
BRIDESMAID. This new Rose retains all the 
good qualities of its parent, Catherine Mermet. The 
buds are of exquisite shape and contour, and are 
Augustine Guinoiseau. 
Special A\erit. 
borne on long stems. The color is the most beautiful 
pink imaginable, about three shades darker than Mer- 
met. Delights all who grow it. Strong plants, 15 cts. 
CLIMBING NIPHETOS. The bloom is iden- 
tical with that of the old Niphetos, having the same 
long, pointed, pure white buds, but the plant is of 
more robust growth and of climbing habit. 20 cts. 
CLIMBING FERLE DES JARDINS. The 
bloom is a little lighter colored and more pointed than 
in Perle des Jardins, its parent; plant very robust 
in growth, a vigorous climber and profuse bloomer. 
We heartily recommend this Rose as of sterling 
merit. Plains from 3-inch pots, 15 cts. ; 4-inch, 25 cts. 
CROWN PRINCESS VICTORIA, or WHITE 
MALMAISON. This Rose has our highest com- 
mendation. It is an Everbloomer, a vigorous grower, 
with large, fine foliage, and is conceded byrosarians 
to be altogether one of the loveliest of Roses. The 
petals are waxen and pure snow-white, with some- 
times a lemon tint; very double. 20 cts. 
COMTESSE ANNA THUN. (Tea.) A strong, 
bushy grower, with flowers freely produced on short, 
stiff stems; shows the characteristics of a good bed- 
der. The flowers are of immense size and of lovely 
and perfect form ; beautiful citron-yellow, with cop- 
pery peach center, shading to orange- salmon and sil- 
very pink, the colors blending finely. Sure to give 
entire satisfaction. 15 cts. 
COMTESSE DE FRIGNEUSE. (Tea.) In free- 
dom of bloom second to none ; leafage finely colored ; 
buds long and pointed ; color pure golden ; highly 
perfumed. A Rose of great merit, and one that will 
please all : as a yellow Rose it stands almost equal to 
Marechal Niel. 15 cts. 
DUCHESS OF ALBANY. (Hybrid Tea.) This 
novelty is similar to La France, but deeper in color, 
more expanded in form, and larger; flowers deep, 
even pink, very largo and full, and highly perfumed ; 
in all respects a Rose of first quality. Plants from 
3-inch pots, 15 cts. ; 4-inch, 25 cts. ; 2-year-olds, 85 cts. 
ERNEST METZ. (Tea.) Large; full flowers, 
with long, pointed buds; clear satiny pink, edged 
with blush, and flamed with crimson. 15 cts. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT. (Polyantha.) This 
Everblooming Rose originated with Messrs. Soupert 
& Notting, of Luxembourg, Belgium. It is a strong, 
vigorous grower. The flowers are large, double and 
beautiful in form, on the style of that beautiful Rose, 
“ Ball of Snow.” They are borne in sprays, aud the 
color blends from soft shell-pink to pure satiny white; 
flowers of both these colors are produced on the same 
plant at the same time. This Rose is destined to take 
high rank as a pot rose and for bedding purposes, and 
will be profitable for cut-flowers. 15 cts.
