*T^ree Qrsaid gotipert Roses. 
There is hardly a Rose in cultivation which can begin to 
compare with Clotilde Soupert in 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 Roses are perfectly hardy in the open ground, and 
bear all summer long great quantities of large, beautiful 
'flowers, all of which are perfectly double to the very 
©enter. In form and color no Rose can equal it. Either 
as a pot or garden Rose the Souperts are par excellence. 
€5Sotiicie 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. 
Vellow Soupert —A valuable new sort with flower equally 
as large as Clotilde Soupert; very double, of fine 
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. 
fssPnk. Soupert— A sport from Clotilde Soupert, and differs 
from ib only in color, this being a beautiful bright pink, 
and contrasts finely with the older variety. There is 
hardly a Hose in cultivation which will bloom so freely 
and produce such beautiful double blossoms as these 
superb varieties.

Mary yya: 
THE TRUE HARDY E VERBLOOSWiNC 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, it is one of the most valuable 
sorts that has been introduced for many years. A hardy, 
perpetual blooming climber has long been needed. Its flow¬ 
ers are 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 fl'ea, Roses, borne in 
large clusters. One plant of the Mary Washington will pro¬ 
duce more flov/e. than a dozen Tea ftoses. Its fragrance is 
tinged with the oi. fashioned musky flavor so much admired 
: n olden times. It will commence blooming immediately 
after planting, and the smallest plant will produce hundreds 
and even thousans of flowers the first yeai - . Our stock is 
genuine. 15c. each: 3 for 30c.
