GENERAL CATALOGUE OF PLANTS. 
Magna Cliaita. Pink, suffused with carmine; fine 
buds. 
Mad. Charles Wood. R sy crimson, large ; con- 
stant bloomer — almost as free as a Tea rose, hence

heavy, thorny canes and glossy, leathery leaves of 
Rugosa, while the flower is dazzling white, positively 
untinted, and semi double. The bud is long-pointed, 
like Niphetos, the fully expanded flower being from 
four to five inches in diameter, showing a heavy, 
tremulous brush of yellow stamens in the center ; it 
blooms in clusters, and is deliciously fragrant. 25 cts.

globular, full, and of good substance. Color a bright, 
scarlet-crimson, richly shaded with maroon ; very 
fragrant ; a free bloomer. 20 cents.

finest ; bright, shining pink, clear and beautiful ; very 
double and full ; finely scented.

crimson, large and fine ; a rose of splendid color.

Sir Rowland Hill. This fine Hybrid Perpetual rose 
comes to us from England, and is undoubtedly one 
of the very darkest of all roses. The color is a re 
markable shade of blackish maroon, passing to rich 
violet or plum color. Very novel and distinct. The 
flowers are extra large, globular, well-filled and fra 
grant.

ers bright cerise-red, very large anrl full ; petals 
large, of heavy texture, and beautifully rounded 
25 cents. 
Vick’s Caprice. This is the only hardy rose that has 
any variegation. It is a vigorous grower, and bears 
. large ana fragrant flowers of bright rose, distinctly 
striped with rich crimson. Altogether a most unique 
and pretty variety. A rose that is sure to attract 
attention. 20 cents. 
Moss Roses. 
Moss Roses stand alone in picturesque beauty, different and distinct from all others. Their opening buds, 
half covered with delicate, clinging moss of fairv-like texture, are the admiration of every beholder. The Moss 
rose is a strong, vigorous grower, perfectly hardy, and therefore justly esteemed as desirable for outdoor culture 
in the open ground. Most varieties bloom but once in a season, ana usually not the first year, but the flowers and 
buds are very handsome. They remain in bloom a long time, and are highly prized wherever beautiful roses are 
known. Moss roses like rich ground, and are much improved in beauty and fragrace by liberal manuring and 
good cultivation , but they bear hardships and neglect well, and always bloom profusely. Being difficult and 
slow of propagation, the price is higher than for other roses. 
Price, 20 cents each. 
White Bath. This is unquestionably the queen of 
all Moss roses. The extra large, full, double flowers 
are pure snowy white, in large clusters, delightfully 
perfumed ; buds covered with deep green moss. 
Henri Martin. A magnificent Moss rose. Extra 
large and perfectly double. Color a deep, rosy car- 
mine, shaded bright crimson ; very mossy and fra- 
grant. One of the most rampant-growing roses. 
Alice Ijeroy. Fine, clear pink ; extra fragrant flow- 
ers, full and globular ; nicely covered with moss. 
Alplielis Purpurea. Deep, rich, velvety crimson ; 
large, fine form, well covered with moss. 
Captain John Ingraham. Brilliant carmine ; large, 
full flowers, very double and mossy. 
Comtesse de Murinais. Flowers white, tinged 
with flesh color ; heavily mossed. One of the best. 
Elizabeth Rowe. Deep pink buds, surrounded with 
. a mossy fringe. A fragrant and pretty rose. 
Banksia Roses. 
Banksia roses will live anywhere south of Washing- 
ton, D. C. To people who have never seen them we 
can only say that the}’ are lovely beyond description. 
The miniature flowers are of perfect, graceful form, 
and droop in heavy clusters from dainty stems clothed 
with mvrtle-like foliage. They are Lamarque reduced 
to diminutive proportions, but grow as Larmarque 
never could. A French writer tells us of a tree at 
Toulon which covered a wall 75 feet in breadth and 15 
to 18 in height, and which had 50,000 flowers in simul- 
taneous bloom. 
Price, 10 cents each. 
White Banksia. Pure white and fragrant, with an 
"dor almost indistinguishable from that of violets. 
Yellow Banksia. Identical with above in form, fra- 
grance and habit, but clear yellow in color. Beautiful.
