Winter glooming Roses. 
The following are the finest and surest winter-blooming 
Roses, and we supply fine, strong plants grown especially 
for winter display : 
Winter Cem— New; offered now for the first time. A Tea 
Rose of remarkably strong and vigorous growth and a 
prodigious bloomer all the year. It flowers all the time 
during winter, hence its name. The blossoms are borne 
on long, graceful stems, are of large size and of a lovely 
crimson-pink color. Buds perfectly exquisite. It is the 
strongest, hardiest, most vigorous and rapid growing Tea 
Rose in cultivation. Strong plants. HOc. each. 
Champion of the World The Rose for everybody. It 
commences to bloom ag soon as potted from the propa¬ 
gating bench, 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 common 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 blossoms are perfectly double to 
tin* center, and of the most perfect shape, both in bud 
and blossoms, while its color is a degree of loveliness 
which few Roses can equal, bearing a rich, deep, rosy 
pink, darker and richer than Hermosa, and a. shade the 
del irate richness of which is seldom seen. Its size is 
very large for an everbloomer. often as large and fine as 
La France, or the best hybrid perpetuals. Strong, well- 
rooted plants for winter blooming, 30c. each. 
Climbing Meteor Buds exquisite; flowers, large, beauti¬ 
fully shaped and of that rich, dark, velvety crimson 
color seen onlv in the Jacqueminot. For winter blooming 
it is just the Rose to train upon a conservatory or bay 
window, where its exquisite blossoms Will show to won¬ 
derful advantage. 20c. each. > 
Climbing Bride Like Climbing Meteor, but pure, white, 
very large, double, perfect and fragrant. 20c. each. 
Highland Mary— A sport from Agrippena, which originated 
in Canada and, like that fine old variety, is a persistent 
bloomer both summer and winter, with a stronger and 
better growth; flowers double the size and exceedingly 
sweet. As to color it is without exception the most ex- 
quisitely and delicately colored Rose we ever saw. Blos¬ 
soms beautifully cupped, each petal being white with a 
delicate lemon tinge; just enough to make it perfectly 
exquisite. But this is not all; each petal is also bordered 
with a delicate band or pink, which, blending with the 
white and lemon tinge, makes a combination which is 
trulv fascinating. No other rose in the world like it. lit 
will bloom all the time, either in the garden or in pots; 
is hardy in the open ground with slight protection, and a 
most exquisite variety for cutting. 25c. each.

ivg Roses for $1.00.
