Trailing or Memorial Roses. 
New and very distinct; of rapid and perfectly prostrate 
or trailing habit of growth. The foliage is of a deep glossy 
green color and very dense. It is also evergreen, remain¬ 
ing bright and fresh all winter, and until the new foliage is 
ready to start in spring. Flowers produced in great abun¬ 
dance during most of the summer, are. of good size and 
borne in clusters. These blossoms are followed by bright 
red berries, which are highly ornamental. Nothing finer for 
^cemeteries, or for covering banks, rockeries, stumps, etc. 
Evergreen Gem— The most wonderful grower of the set, 
not only evergreen, but growing during mild weather 
m winter. Stems long, branching, rich bronze color, 
closely matted. Flowers produced singly, on stems, yellow, 
bun in bud, opening to almost white, two or three inches 
m diameter, perfectly double, and of a delightful sweet 
briar fragrance. This will be found most valuable for 
landscape work, as well as for cut flower purposes. I 
consider this the best plant of the set. 
Universal Favorite—This is the most vigorous plant of the 
set. ihe long branching shoots are covered with dense 
bright green foliage. The double flowers are over two 
inches in diameter, and of a beautiful rose color, similar 
to the Bridesmaid, and deliciously fragrant. A grand 
variety -for any purpose. 
Wanda’s Triumph —This 
grand Rose is of free 
growth, luxuriant foliage, 
and produces large clus¬ 
ters of double, pure "white 
flowers, 2 inches in diame¬ 
ter beautifully imbricated 
and well formed, very 
sweet scented. 
Pink Roamer — Growth 
rampant, and the luxuri¬ 
ous foliage partakes more 
of the Wiehuriana. The 
single flowers, which are 
produced in close heads, 
are lH inches in diameter, 
bright rich pink, with 
almost a white center, 
producing an effect which, 
c o m b i n e d with fra¬ 
grance, makes it one of 
the most valuable roses 
in cultivation.

Hybrid Briar. 
(I/Ord Penzance). 
These lovely Hybrids, apart from their extreme beauty, 
are most interesting, being crosses between the Common 
, Sweet Briar and various'gardem Roses. Like their parent 
the common Sweet Briar, the foliage is deliciously scented. 
The flowers are of the most beautiful tints and produced in 
great profusion. They are perfectly hardy even in the cold- 
est situations and possess a robust vigor which is quite as¬ 
tonishing; bushes throwing up shoots of ten, twelve, and 
even fifteen feet high ; -these when covered with flowers of 
the most delicate shades have a most gorgeous effect. 
Annie'; of Ceierstein— Bark, rich crimson; branching. 
very fragrant. •
