Novelties of the Year. 
Annually the European Rose growers send out from fifty to one hundred new 
varieties. Only a few prove valuable and of superior merit. We buy all that are 
ofl'ered that are suited to the American trade. We know that the Roses offered 
below contain much of promise to the American grower, the Hybrid Teas being 
specially. promising for the Southern States. 
Price 50 Cents Each. 
Kaizerina Augusta Victoria. 
Hybrid Tea. A German variety, and one of great interest to the Rose forcer; 
color, pure ivory white. A large full flower, magnificent in bud. Stems long and 
bearing large, strong canes, with handsome foliage. It did finely for us all last 
Winter. We believe this Rose to be a valuable addition to our forcing varieties.

has all the good qualities of its parent, but is different in form and shape; looks 
more like a finely-built Hybrid Perpetual. A strong, vigorous grower, producing 
flowers as freely as La France.
