TWO GRAND NEW ROSES- 
These remarkable new Roses were named and introduced by us last year and sold at one 
dollar each. In many ways they are the most beautiful and novel Roses ever introdcned 
Halloween is the only true and distinct striped Everbloomer ; Highland Mary has the most 
delicate color, with distinctly bordered petals ; the beauty of which cannot be descn icj. 
HALLOWEEN— The striped Meteor. A cross between Meteor and Bon Silene. blowers 
same fine large size and perfect shape of Meteor, while the color is rich dark crimson, each petal 
freely and distinctly striped pure white and pink. Like Meteor, the flowers are double, 
exceedingly sweet and borne in endless profusion both summer and winter. Quite harcy in tie 
open ground. This is the only distinctively striped Everblooming; Rose in cultivation and a great 
beauty. It creates a genuine sensation wherever seen. Nothing like it in cultivation. See 
colored sketch near top of this cover. 30c. each ; 3 for 75c. 
HIGHLAND MARY —A sport from Agrippena, which originated in Canada, and, like that 
fine old varietv, is a persistent bloomer both summer and winter, with a stronger and better 
growth ; flowers double the size and exceedingly sweet. As to color it is without exception the 
most exquisitely and delicately colored Rose we ever saw. Blossoms beautifully cupped, each 
petal being white with a delicate lemon tinge ; just enough to make it perfectly exquisite, but 
this is not all ; each petal is also bordered with a delicate band of pink which blending with the 
white and lemon tinge makes a combination which is truly fascinating. No other rose in tie 
world like it. It will bloom all the time, either in the garden or 111 pots; is hardy in the open 
ground with slight protection, and a most exquisite variety for cutting. In fact, it wi 1 keep 
twice as long as any other rose after being cut. Buds partly expanded have stood in a 
vase on our desk for'ten days before the petals dropped, and that, too, after having been sent 
by mail from Canada. In this respect it is most remarkable. 25c. each ; 3 forOoc.; 6 toi ^i.oo. 
One each of the two sorts for 5 oc. 3 each for $1.25. Or for 60c. we will send one each of 
Halloween, Highland Mary and Cl in: ling Bride (new; see page 39.) 
NEW EVERBLOOMING CHRYSANTHEMUM. 
Pure White, Perfectly Double noil blooms profusely from July to New Year’s or loiter. The Greatest flora 
Novelty. (Sec Colored Sketch oil back cover). 
A seedliim raised some years ago by S. 1 '. Duncan, Piqua, Ohio, who at once brought it to 
olTraTreruton, and last year we purchased the entire stock, having been negotiating for it since 
1806 Plants lifted iron the open ground and sent to us in May began budding and blooming 
in 0 i,r e-rounds in July and .ire now‘(Nov. 1st) still full of flowers and buds, while those in pots 
bid fair” to continue blooming far into the winter. It may be used either as a garden or pot 
plant and is perfectly hardy in the open ground. The flowers are of the Chinese type, pure snow- 
white perfectlv double and produced by the hundreds. No other sort can equal it in profusion. 
Plants of dwarf habit, 18 to 24 inches high with bright healthy foliage and numerous blanches, 
all of which produce bloom. Mr. Duncan says that the plants in his garden have always begun 
blooming by July 4th, and are perfectly hardy any winter without protection. A new Chrysan- 
themum which may be grown either in the garden or in pots, and which will produce such a ciop 
of fine double white flowers for so great a part of the year must certainly be regarded as the 
greatest modern Novelty. 25c. each; 3 for 50c.; 7 for §1.00. 
GHIRDSIA WERGKREI, or TREASURE VINE. 
(See Colored Sketch on hack cover). 
A new plant entifelv unknown to science until discovered by Mr. Carlo Werckle, last year 
in the mountain regions of Costa Rica, Central America. It is a beautiful climbing compositae, 
suitable for cool shady windows or verandas. While it will grow to the height of 10 feet, it 
blooms profusely when very small, its flowers being like a clematis in shape but intense Scarlet 
in color which added to the beauty of its foliage and natural grace of growth makes one of the 
most elec-ant flowering plants ever seen. It is a quick robust grower and so hardy and vigorous 
that it will stand any amount of abuse. Specimens which we sent to the Royal Botanic Gardens 
at Kew attracted great attention arid it has been decided to call it lreasure Vine on account of 
its great value, scientifically Childsia W ercklei. Fine plants, 4 ot -- each, 3 for $1.00. 
Special Offer .—For only $1.00 we will send one fine plant each of these 4 greatest novelties.
