Roses of Special Merit 
All the following sorts will be found first-class. We list the best of the old varieties and many 
that are of recent introduction; all of them are worthy of a place in your collection. 
Do not expect all varieties to be of the same size. Some under the 
same conditions make much larger and stronger plants than others 
but many of the weakest growers produce the most beautiful flowers. 
Exquisite beauty of form, color and sturdy vigor are seldom com- 
bined in Roses. The fall of the year is the time when Roses are in 
their perfection, and only then is it safe to judge a Rose. Sometimes 
the finest Roses produce a few single flowers ; in fact, all Roses are 
affected in color and quality by the heat of summer. tVith plants 
received by mail more care and precaution have to be taken on 
arrival. On all plants to be shipped by mail most of the soil has to 
be removed from the roots in order to lessen the weight, and damp 
moss and paper take the place of the soil. If the plants are the least 
willed on arrival, put them in lukewarm water, in a shallow pan. for 
about one hour, leaving the paper and moss undisturbed. This will 
soon restore their vitality.

*Archduke Charles. One of the deservedly popular Roses in 
in the South. This is the Confederate Rose. Its bid for favor 
lies not alone in its name, but in its individual fragrance, added 
to an abundance of blooms whose coloring is the red and white of 
the “ Lost Cause.” Give it a place. 
*American Beauty. One of the grandest of all Roses. No red 
Rose is more popular and no yard is complete without one or 
more of these beautiful Roses. If you have room for only one 
Rose, let it be this one. Small plants out of z-in. pots, 15 cts.; 
field-grown, 30 cts.' 
*Agrippina. Rich, velvety crimson ; a grand bedder. 
Admiral Schley (Red Burbank). This is a new bedding Rose 
of great excellence, sent by Mr. John Cook, of Baltimore, who 
has originated a number of our finest Roses. Best described as a 
red Burbank. A very free bloomer, and, we believe, has come 
to stay. 
^Beatrix de Buisseret. 
Bud extraordinarily beauti- 
ful ; flower very large, quite full, of beautiful form and perfect 
texture; silvery rose and rosy carmine ; very free and fragrant. 
A seedling from Testout and a truly fine Rose. We believe this 
Rose will have a larger sale as soon as it becomes better known, 
and we feel justified in recommending it highly. Field-grown, 30c. 
*Bridesmaid. The most popular pink Tea Rose. Thousands 
of this variety are grown every year for cut-flowers ; also very 
desirable for summer bedding outdoors. A delightful shade of 
bright pink ; free-flowering and easily grown. 
*Bessie Brown. A Rose of transcendent beauty, totally dis- 
tinct, and one of the largest and fullest that we have ever seen. 
It is erect and vigorous in growth, flowering profusely in the open 
ground all through the summer ; so far (December) it shows fine 
flowers outside. The color, pure white, sometimes faintly flushed 
pink ; petals enormous and of shell shape ; it is marvelous that 
such large flowers can be so freely produced. Field-grown, 30c.
