GLEN SAINT MARY NURSERIES 
Hardy Roses 
ROSES, continued 
Margaret Dickson. (H. P.) Finely formed, 
pure waxy white flowers of immense size, some 
of them nearly as large as Paul Neyron. 
Marie Ducher. (T.) Generally described 
as “rich salmon - yellow, with fawn center; 
large, very full, somewhat flat; very double and 
sweet.” With us color varies from peach- 
blossom to light rose, suffused with sulphur- 
yellow, with reverse of petals silvery rose. 
Medium-sized, nicely formed flowers. A good 
grower and constant bloomer. 
Marie Guillot. (T.) Generally described 
as “pure snow-white, sometimes faintly tinged 
with pale yellow. Large, full and double.” On 
our grounds it is more apt to be pale yellow and 
often distinctly tinged with deep blush or light 
rose. A fine grower, with very pretty flowers. 
Marie Lambert. (T.) Pure white; a seed¬ 
ling from Mad. Bravy, and even more vigorous; 
has been called the White Hermosa, which it 
resembles in form and freedom of bloom. 
Marie Van Houtte. (T.) Pale yellow, the 
edges of petals often lined with rose. Some¬ 
times both yellow and red Roses are to be seen 
on the same bush, but always beautiful flowers. 
One of the most satisfactory here. 
Marshall P. Wilder. (H. P.) Flowers very 
large, perfectly double, and of good substance; 
color bright cherry-red, shading to crimson. 
Plant a clean, healthy grower. 
Mary Washington. (C. T.) Small white 
flowers, borne in clusters. Fragrance of a 
musky flavor noticed in some of the Roses of 
‘‘ye olden time.” 
Mignonette. (Pol.) Large clusters of per¬ 
fectly formed miniature Roses; pink, chang¬ 
ing to white. 
Mrs. Cleveland. (H. P.) Medium to large; 
nicely formed flowers of a dark red or velvety 
crimson color. Delightfully fragrant. 
Mrs. George Paul. (Bour.) Large open 
flower, like a camellia, with very bold, thick 
petals, perfectly arranged; blush white, with 
rosy peach shading; very distinct. 
Paul Neyron. (H. P.) Deep rose; very 
full, somewhat fragrant, free-blooming; the 
largest variety known. A very desirable gar¬ 
den Rose. 
Perfection des Blanches. (LI. N.) Pure 
white flowers, full and double, very fine; a 
constant bloomer. 
Perle d’or. (Pol.) Nankeen-yellow flow¬ 
ers in large clusters. One of the most unique 
and beautiful miniature Roses in our collec¬ 
tion; the buds are especially adapted for gen¬ 
teel buttonhole bouquets. Only a moderate 
grower, but a profuse and constant bloomer. 
PinkRoamer. (W.) Luxuriant grower of 
the creeping habit. Small-sized pink flowers 
with white centers. Splendid for grave decora¬ 
tion, or for covering any unsightly object. 
President Lincoln. (LLP.) Vermilion-red, 
tinged with crimson. A strong grower, pro¬ 
ducing large flowers.
