*La Princesse Vera 
A splendid outdoor Rose. During the past 
season we had in our trial grounds several 
hundred varieties of Roses. For strong, 
clean growth, freedom and constancy of 
bloom and beauty of flower and color,* this 
variety was one of the few selected as the 
best. Without doubt this is a grand Rose for 
general planting, particularly for bedding in 
the open ground. The flowers are large, 
linely made and open beautifully. When 
fully open there appears to be a flower within 
a flower, so perfect is the form. The color 
is rich ivory-white, shaded and veined with 
line coppery yellow, and delicately penciled 
with pale blush. A truly grand and beautiful 
Rose, and one that by virtue of its great ex- 
cellence ranks among the best in cultivation. 
It is certainly a La Princesse in fact as well 
as in name. 
*Lucullus 
A fine dark crimson. It is very double 
and a constant bloomer. Good. 
Liberty 
A lovelier thing than this new Rose was 
never fashioned. Always abreast of the 
times, I have a large stock of this variety, 
although a recent arrival in the Rose world. 
The color is bright, flashing crimson-scarlet. 
Our price is one of this year’s bargains. 
*Louis Philippe 
Rich, dark, velvety crimson; free and 
oeautiful. 
4 : Mad. Schwaller 
A remarkable Rose, having the strength 
and style of the Hybrid Perpetual and the 
free-flowering qualities of the Tea; color deep 
rosy flesh, deepening on edge of petals. 
*Marie Louise Poiret 
Bud long and pointed; flowers very large, 
full and of splendid texture; the petals are 
large, outer edges fresh rose, center darker. 
Very free and odorous. 
Marie Lambert 
Pure white. It has been called the White 
Hermosa, as it resembles Hermosa in form 
and freedom of bloom, and is quite as valu- 
able; for, though no claim has been made for 
it as a fancy Rose, its persistence in bloom 
will make it a very popular white variety for 
bedding or for pots. 
Meteor 
Rich velvety crimson, exceedingly bright 
and attractive. The plant is of vigorous 
growth and very free-flowering. 10 cts. 
*Mrs. DeGraw 
An ideal bedding Rose that will give an 
abundance of bloom from early summer until 
frost. The flowers are bright rich pink, of 
good size and very fragrant; blooms in 
clusters. 
Mad. de Watteville 
Delightfully fragrant, extra large flowers 
of fine shape; white, shaded with salmon, 
deepening to bright rose at edge of petals. 
*Marie Guillot 
Splendid for any use; especially desirable 
for summer Rose beds; pure white, some- 
times tinted pale yellow. 
LIBERTY. 
Mad. Pierre Guillot 
Large, globular flowers, full and 
double; delicate orange-yellow, 
distinctly veined and bordered 
with clear pink; very unique and 
beautiful. 
Maid of Honor 
A new Rose, an offspring of 
Bridesmaid. It is a beautiful 
child of a charming parent, and we 
give it unstinted praise. Long, 
pointed buds, and open Rose full 
to the center. Grows unlimited 
quantities on long flower canes. 
Marie Van Houtte 
Is creamy white, outer petals 
outlined with bright rose; occa- 
sionally the entire flower is suffused 
with light pink; growth strong- 
bloom profuse. 
*Mad. Jos. Schwartz 
One of the most hardy Tea 
Roses, and particularly adapted 
for open - ground planting. It 
produces its bloom in great pro- 
fusion ; color white, beautifully 
flushed with pink.
