Eb 63 will grow 8 to ten feet in a soason, is in blooin all 
the time from early spring to late fall, the flowers 
appearing in great panicles as large as a man’s hat and of a

Childs’ Jewel. 
The Rose of Many Colors. Flowers of Various 
Colors Borne on the Same Plant 
at the Same Time. 
During the past few years we have introduced 
several new Roses, some of which are among the 
most valuable known at the present time, such as 
•’Champion of the World,” ‘‘Mary Washington.” 
etc. We now offer the most remarkable Rose in cul¬ 
tivation, as well as the most novel and beautiful one. 
Childs’ Jewel produces flowers which range in color from 
dark orange-yellow to crimson, variegated, blotched, mottled 
etc. A plant In bloom shows no two flowers alike. Some 
will be dark yellow; others, light yellow, buff, saffron, light 
and dark crimson, pink, blush, apricot, etc.; while others 
will be variegated in a most beautiful manner. As may well 
be imagined, the sight which such a plant in bloom presents 
Is a novel and beautiful one. It is a pure Ten Rose, the 
flower being large, delightfully fragrant, and in both trad and 
blossom exquisitely beautiful. It is a free grower, and a pro¬ 
fuse bloomer, especially in the open ground. As a rose 
novelty this is the most remarkable ever introduced, and as 
may well be imagined creates a sensation wherever seen, and 
sells readily at two and three dollars each when in bloom. 
Strong, healthy plants, for blooming at once, 30c, 
each ; two for 500.; five for $1.00. 
Mary Washington. 
•yfky This Rose was raised by George Washington over 
0,10 hundred years ago in his garden at Mt. Vernon, 
and named after his mother. We introduced it a 
ttjS Wjj few years ago. our stock plants coming direct from 
J&asS Mt. Vernon from the original vines. Aside from the 
fact that this Rose was raised and .named by George Wash¬ 
ington, it Is one of the most valuablo sorts that haB been in¬ 
troduced for many years. A hardy, perpetual blooming 
climbor has long been needed. Its flowers 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 out-door culture. Its buds arc 
as beautiful as the finest Tea Roses, borne on largo stems, 
aild usually in large clusters. One plant of the Mary Wash¬ 
ington will produce more (ffwers than a dozen Tea Roses. 
Its fragrance is tinged with the old-fashioned musky flavor 
so much admired in olden times. It will commence bloom¬ 
ing immediately after planting, and the smallest plant will 
produco hundreds and even thousands of flowers the first 
summer. Our 3tock is genuine. 
Fine plants, 200. each ; three for 50c. 
Champion of the World. 
This is the Rose for Everybody, the Best and 
Freest Bloomer for Winter or Summer. 
§ Champion Bloomer. It commences to bloom 
as soon as potted from the propagating bonoh, and 
continues In the greatest profusion all the time, both 
summer and winter. One plant of It will produce 
more flowers during the year than ten plants of any 
Tea Rose. It Is always in full bloom. Plants which have 
bloomed all summer in tho garden may be potted in the 
autumn, and they will Immediately start now growth and 
bloom profusely all winter In any window. Returned to the 
garden in the spring, they will again bloom all summer 
without intermission. It is truly a perpetual bloomer, never 
without flowers. 
Champion In Hardiness. Though a perpetual bloom¬ 
er, it is as hardy and robust as an oak, standing the severe 
winters of Vermont, where it originated, in the open ground, 
without tho slightest protection, and commencing its season 
of bloom earlier than any other sort. For a hardy garden 
Rose it is as valuable as it is for pots. 
Champion In Vigor. It Is the most healthy and vigor- 
orous Rose in cultivation, for its handsome rank foliage has 
never been known to mildew under any conditions, indoors 
or out. It is absolutely mildew PROOF under any and all 
conditions. 
Champion In Fragrance. It has the most delicious 
and powerful rose fragrance, which is maintained during 
the whole year. Its perfume in December is as rich, delicate 
and sweet as it is in June. 
Champion In Form and Color. Its blossoms are 
perfectly double to the center, and of the most perfect shape, 
both in bud and blossom, while its color is a degree of love¬ 
liness which few roses can equal, being a rioh, deep, rosy 
pink, darker and richer than Hermosa, and a shade the deli¬ 
cate richness of which is seldom seen. Its size is very large 
for an evorhloomer, often as large and fine as La France, or 
the best hybrid perpetuals. 
In General. This remarkable Rose, a cross between 
Hermosa and Magna Charta, originated several years ago in 
Vermont. Mr. Geo. W. Woodhouse, the originator, says: 
*’ 1 have tested nearly every roso In cultivation, and claim to 
know them all, and I stake my reputation asa judge in such 
matters, by stating that there is not a Rose grown that will 
produce, after the usual June bloom, even a respectable per¬ 
centage of the blooms that the Rose ‘Champion of the 
World ’ will; and no Rose of any name or kind that will 
stand the winter in the open ground better than the above. 
It is a perpetual bloomer, and I could not select a time that 
1 could say that 1 thought was any better than another for a 
display of blossoms.”
