Cornelia Cook. 
(Tea.) Pure creamy 
-white, sometimes 
tinged with pale 
lemon and blush ; very fine and double. 
Devoniensis. (Climbing Tea.) On account of 
its whiteness and sweetness often called the Magnolia 
Rose. Creamy white, delicately flushed in the cen¬ 
ter with pink ; possesses an exquisite and entirely 
distinct fragrance. This is one of the most magnifi¬ 
cent of Roses in this region ; it is an exceptionally 
strong grower and vigorous climber, and bears pro¬ 
fusely and constantly flowers of very large size and 
great beauty. 
Douglass. (Bengal*) Dark, cherry-red; very 
handsome in bud. 
Duchesse de Brabant. (Tea.) Exquisite shell- 
pink, tinged at the edges with carmine. The buds 
and opening flowers are very beautiful. The flowers 
constant and profuse bloomer; much 
prized in the South as a pillar or veranda 
Rose.

This lovely Rose resembles the Tea 
Roses so closely that it is called a Tea 
polyantha. The flow¬

flushed with silvery 
rose, sometimes ivory 
-white, exquisitely 
tinted with pale 
salmon, and some¬ 
times both red and 
Avhite flowers are pro¬ 
duced on the same 
plant. It is a particu¬

a vigorous and com¬

•continuous and re¬ 
markably profuse 
bloomer.

cut. In coloring it is unsurpassed, perhaps unequaled 
by any pink Rose. It is strong and vigorous, and 
blooms profusely the year round. One of the best 
for this region of the South. 
Duke of Edinburgh. (Hybrid Perpetual.) Dark 
velvety maroon ; medium size, full regular form ; 
very handsome and fragrant. 
Etoile de Lyon. (Tea.) Beautiful chrome- 
yellow, deepening to pure golden yellow at the center; 
the flowers are very large, very double and full, and 
delicately fragrant. Unequaled among yellow Roses 
in this region, except by Marechal Niel, which it much 
resembles in its flowers. In the North it is styled a 
rival of Perle des Jardins, but it is much larger and
