Three Graqd S 0<J P y rt Roses. 
Mary Waslupgtoq. 
Tliere is hardly a Rose in cu)t?Yatl<wi which can begin to 
compare with Clotilde Soupert tn beauty and great bloom¬ 
ing qualities. That we can now offer two new varieties of 
this superb Rose—a yellow and pink is most satisfactory. 
These Rose's are perfectly hardy in the open ground, and 
hear all summer long great quantities of large, beautiful 
Mowers, all of which are perfectly double to the very 
center. In form and color no Rose can equal it. Either 
as a pot or garden Rose the Sonperts are par excellence. 
Clotilde Soupert— As large as an ordinary Tea Rose, and 
exceedingly lovely. Fine for outdoor, and by many 
florists considered the very finest pot Rose. Flowers 
borne in large panicles, each floret double and rosette¬ 
like. Color, a pearly-white with exquisite center of 
tinted salmon-peach. A more lovely or exquisitely 
colored Rose never bloomed. 
Yellow Soupert A valuable new sort with flower' equally 
as large as Clotilde Soupert; very double, of line 
Camellia shape when fully open. Color beautiful light 
yellow shading to white at edge of petals, plant dwarf, 
bushy and very free flowering in clusters, three to five 
flowers in a cluster. 
Pink Soupert— A sport from Clotilde Soupert, and differs 
from it only in color, this being a beautiful bright pink, 
and contrasts finely with the older variety. There is 
hardly a Rose in cultivation which will bloom so freely 
and produce such beautiful double blossoms as these 
superb varieties.

THE TRUE HARDY EVERBLOOMINC ROSE. 
This Rose was raised by George Washington over one- 
hundred years ago in his garden at Mt- Vernon, and named 
after his mother. We introduced it a few years ago, our 
stock plants coming direct from Mt. Vernon from the origi¬ 
nal vines. Aside from the fact that this Rose was raised and! 
named by George Washington, itisone of the most valuable 
sorts that lias been introduced for many years. A hardy, 
perpetual blooming climber lias long been needed. Its flow-: 
ers arc pure white, perfectly double to the center, sweet, and 
borne in endless numbers all summer. It is a vigorous and _ 
rapid grower, and a most valuable Rose for outdoor culture.! 
Its buds are as beautiful as the finest Tea Roses, borne ini 
large clusters. Ons plant of the Mary Washington will pro-;! 
dnee more flowers than a dozen Tea Roses. Its fragrance is I 
tinged with the old-fashioned musky flavor so much admired! 
in olden times. It will commence blooming immediately! 
after planting, and the smallest plant will produce hundreds I 
and even thousans of flowers the first year. Our stock is I 
genuine. 15c. each: 3 for 30e.
