GLEN SAINT MARY NURSERIES 
Hardy Roses 
ROSES, continued 
Elise Boelle. (H. N.) White, delicately 
tinged with pink; medium size, full, beautiful, 
circular form; very sweet. A lovely Rose. 
Ellen Drew. (H. P.) Delicate peach blos¬ 
som, pink on top side of petals, reverse side 
rosy pink. Medium size, double, very full. 
Empress Marie of Russia. (T.) Flowers 
canary-yellow, sometimes shaded with white 
and lemon. 
Empress of China. (C. C.) A new free- 
flowering climbing Rose of Chinese origin. The 
plant is a strong, healthy grower, making a fine 
Ltoile dc Lyon 
specimen in a very short time, and produces its 
medium-sized flowers in profusion. Climber. 
Color soft red, changing to light pink when 
fully open, covering the bush with a mass of 
color. 
Estelle Pradel. (C. N.) Lovely, pure 
white buds; flowers medium size, full and 
sweet; profuse bloomer. A favorite climbing 
Rose in the South. 
Etoile de Lyon. (T.) 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 the yellow Roses in this region, except 
by Marechal Xiel, which it much resembles. 
In the North it is styled a rival of Perle des 
Jardins, but is much larger and more satis¬ 
factory than the latter here. A vigorous, lusty 
bush; blooms profusely at all seasons. One of 
the best. 
Exposition de Povins. (H. P.) Bright vel¬ 
vety red ; very full and double and exceed¬ 
ingly fragrant. Strong grower, and a desir¬ 
able variety. 
Ferdinand Batel. (H. T.) Varying color 
from pale rosy flesh on yellow nankeen, to 
yellow nankeen-orange. A fancy-colored Rose; 
quite distinct and pretty. 
Fortune’s Double Yellow. (C.T.) Sulphur- 
yellow, edged rose. Flowers large, single and 
open. Very pretty and odd. 
Francois Levet. (H. P.) Rosy pink, deli¬ 
cately shaded with cherry-red. Handsomely 
formed flowers, very full and double, and 
nearly as large as Paul Neyron. Good grower. 
General Jacqueminot. (H. P.) Large, 
globular flowers of a rich crimson-scarlet color. 
Giant of Battles. (H. P.) Bright crimson 
flowers of medium to large size ; double, full 
and fragrant. 
Gloire Lyonnaise. (FI. P.) The only yel¬ 
low Hybrid Perpetual; it cannot be called 
deep yellow, but rather a pale shade of chamois 
or salmon-yellow, deepest at center, and some¬ 
times passing to rich, creamy white, finely 
tinted with orange and fawn ; the flowers have 
all the beauty of Tea Roses ; large and full, 
tnd delightfully sweet.
