Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue of 
POLYANTHA ROSES. 
A new class of Roses of dwarf habit, with small, very double flowers, freely pro- 
duced ; while they are perfectly hardy, and most excellent for out-door planting, they 
'.re also fine for winter blooming. 
Jean Drivon — The flowers of this variety are the largest of any of the Polyantha class, 
being nearly one-half larger than some others. Color, pure white ; growth 
bushy, fine for pot culture. 
Max Singer (Climbing Polyantha) — A very strong, rampant growing rose : will be use- 
ful in the South for covering verandas and pillars ; flowers in clusters like the dwarf 
varieties ; color bright pink ; not as free flowering as the rest of the class. 
Mignonette — One of the most beautiful miniature Roses imaginable. The flowers are 
full and regular, perfectly double, borne in large clusters, often thirty to forty 
flowers each. Color clear pink changing to white, tinged with pale rose ; a constant 
and profuse bloomer. 
Miniature — One of the most beautiful miniature roses ; flowers quite small and of regu- 
lar form ; plant very dwarf, but vigorous and branching ; color white, slightly 
tinted with a peachy pink. 
Paquerette — Pure white, about one inch in diameter, flowering in panicles of from five 
to forty blooms ; full, prettily formed, recalling blossoms of the double flowering 
cherry. In flower continuously from June to November. 
Perle d’Or— Color of the buds beautiful nankeen yellow with vivid orange center ; each 
petal tipped with white, changing to buif-tinged rose in the open flower ; a splendid 
variety either for pot culture or bedding out. 
CLIMBING ROSES. 
These are admirably adapted for covering walls, trellises, old trees, unsightly build- 
ings, etc. Their rapid growth, perfect hardiness, luxuriant foliage, immense clus- 
ters of beautiful flowers commend them at once to every one. 
Baltimore Belle — Pine white with blush center ; very full and double. 
Gem of the Prairie — A hybrid between the Queen of the Prairie and Madam Laffay. It 
is a strong and vigorous grower, similar in habit to the Queen, but the flowers are 
considerably darker in color, besides being quite fragrant. 
Greville, or Seven Sisters — Large clusters of bloom, shaded to dark red. 
Mrs. Hovey — Pale, delicate blush, becoming almost white ; resembles Baltimore Belle. 
Queen of the Prairie — Bright rose color ; large, compact and globular ; a very profuse 
bloomer. One of the best.

a very excellent sort. A desirable addition to the list of Climbing Roses.
