GERMAIN SEED AND PLANT CO. 
ROSES. 
This, the "Queen of Flowers,” is so generally known and grown that but little space need be occupied 
in describing the mode of planting, etc., all that is necessary being a good, deep, rich soil, liberal 
manuring and good cultivation. The roses we offer are all grown out of doors, are well furnished with 
roots, and range in height from 1 to 3 feet.

CLIMBING ROSES. 
NEW CLIMBING ROSES. 
Mr. Robert Peary. —(Climbing Kaiserin. See 
cut.)—This is without doubt the finest of all 
white climbing roses. It is the first pure white, 
hardy, ever-blooming, climbing rose and will 
meet a demand never before supplied. Like its 
parent, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, it will bloom 
continuously the first season. It is of strong 
rapid growth, and in one season will throw up 
numerous shoots 10 to 15 feet high. The flow¬ 
ers, produced on long stiff stems, are large, full 
and of good substance; the buds are long, 
pointed and of good shape. Strong, field-grown 
plauts, each 50c; 5 for $2.00. 
Dorothy Perkins.— A splendid, new climbing rose, 
raised from seed of Rosa Wichuraiana, being a 
cross between Mme. Gabriel Luizet and that 
variety. It is of strong growth, and in habit like 
Crimson Rambler. The flowers are double and 
very large for a rose of this class, of a beautiful 
shell pink, very sweet-scented, and borne in 
clusters of 30 or 40 and sometimes even 50 to 
60 blossoms. This variety attracted much atten¬ 
tion at the Pan American Exposition, where a 
bed of it produced a show of flowers unequalled 
by any other variety. Each 50e.
