CHAMPION OF THE WOULD. 
CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. 
The Rose for Everybody, the Best and Freest Bloomer for Winter- 
It commences to bloom as soon as potted from the prop¬ 
agating bench, and continues in the greatest profusion all 
fine 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. 
It is the most healthy and vigorous Rose in cultivation, 
for its handsome rank foliage has never been known to 
mildew under any conditions. 
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. 
Its blossoms are perfectly double to the center, and of 
£h© most perfect shape, both in bud and blossoms, while its 
color i3 a degree of loveliness which few roses can equal, 
being a rich, deep rosy, pink, darker and richer than Herm- 
©sa, and a shade the delicate richness of which is seldom 
iaeen. Its size is very large for an everbloomer, often as 
):&Fge and fine as La France, or the best hybrid perpetuals. 
Strong, well-rooted plants for winter-blooming, 30c. each; 
35 for 50c.; 7 for $1.00; 15 for $3 00.

dark orange-yellow to crimson, variegated, blotched, 
mottled etc. A plant in bloom shows no two flowers 
alike. Some will be dark yellow; others, buff, saffron, 
light and dark crimson, pink, blush, apricot, etc.; while 
others will be variegated in a most beautiful manner. 
30c. each; 3 for 50c. 
©Ff pnblng Meteor —Buds exquisite: flowers large,beautifully 
shaped and of that rich, dark, velvety crimson color seen 
only in the Jacqueminot. For winter blooming it is just 
the Rose to train a conservatory or bay window, 
where its exqu ossoms will show to wonderful 
advantage. 20c. each; 3 for 50. 
One each of the above 3 sorts for 50c. 
NeW s^butilops. 
These are of the beautiful Infanta Eulalia type intro¬ 
duced by us a few years go. Unlike the ordinary Abutilons 
:sf scraggy growth, they are very compact and shortjjointed, 
staking a neat pot plant. The flowers are the most beauti¬ 
ful we have seen among being very large yet 
short and beautifully cupper, ~..d of the most lovely colors. 
f )?hey produce flowers by the score both summer and winter. 
It is safe to say that these varieties will produce five times 
as many flowers as any other Abutilon. 
fwffanta Eulalia— This is perfection itself. Plants dwarf 
and short jointed, producing exquisite large cupped 
blossoms by the score from the time the plant is four 
inches high. Blooms all the time, summer and winter. 
Color a most Beautiful soft satin-pink. No finer pot 
plant for windows than this 
VSfrri. McKinley— Like the above except in color, which is 
a beautiful clear lemon yellow of exquisite loveliness. 
/Afplcaln —Like Infanta Eulalia, except its color is a deep, 
velvety, crimson black. Exceedingly rich. 
Price, 20c. each; the 3for 50c. 
NIOSTJJNIQUE POT PLANT IN CULTIVATION. 
An extra fine pot plant with glossy green leaves, the 
true fragrant orange [blossoms and abundant little bright 
oranges that will hang on the little hush like halls of gold 
for six months after they are ripe. They will bloom and 
fruit in a two-inch pot, and we have seen a plant in a com¬ 
mon window, that was but 15 inches high and had 23 oranges 
on it. When good sunlight they are never out of fruit from 
one year’s end to another, and at least two-thirds of the 
time are in flower also. The fruit is very sweet and hand¬ 
some. Could we have but one plant in our window it would 
be an Otaheite .Orange. In beauty, grace and fragrance 
there is nothing like its delicate leafy sprays of bloom, so 
indescribably exquisite, dainty, lovely and adorable. Fine 
plants for blooming and fruiting at once, 20c. each; 3 for 50c.
