Gliu^bii^g Meteor. 
CLIMBING METEOR. 
This Rose, which we recently introduced, 
might properly be called a Perpetual Blooming 
Climbing General Jacqueminot. Though a 
sport from that finest of all Hybrid Teas, Meteor, it is much larger and of a deeper, 
richer color, equalled only by the peerless Jacqueminot, but will produce twenty 
blossoms to Jacqueminot’s one. It is a Rose which will make 10 to 15 feet of 
growth in a season and show a profusion ofbloom every day. Foliago strong, 
healthy and luxuriant. Buds exquisite-(lowers large, beautifully shaped, and of that rich, 
dark, velvety crimson color seen only in the Jacqueminot. Much deeper and richer than 
Meteor. We do not hesitate to pronounce it the finest Rose in existence for summer bloom¬ 
ing. as it will make a largo growth and is loaded with its glorious blossoms all the time. For 
winter blooming it has few equals in beauty and probably none in profusion. Just the Rose 
to train up in a conservatory or bay-window, where its exquisite blossoms will show to won¬ 
derful advantage every day, summer or winter. Price of large, strong, well-rooted, healthy 
plants, for abundant blooming at once. 20c. each; 3 for 60c.; 7 for $1.00. 
G'lin^birfg gride. 
A superb new Rose offered now for the first time, and a fine companion for Climbing 
Meteor. It flowers freely at all times of the year, its blossoms being of large size, beautiful 
shape and pure snow-white in color. It is like Marshal Neil in growth, but stronger and 
more free in blooming. Flowers larger than Bride and possess more substance. It is almost 
as hardy as a Hybrid Perpetual, and is safe in the open ground south of New York. 
It makes a most magnificent pillar Rose, especially when grown with Climbing 
Meteor. As a pot Rose for window or conservatory it has no superior. It is far 
ahead of the celebrated Climbing Marie Guillot in every respect. 40c. each; 
2 for 60c. 
One each of above fivo Grand Roses for 50c.
