THE TWELVE 
BEST HARDY ROSES 
Named below are unequaled in their class, combining' the greatest variety of 
form, richness of color and freedom of bloom which it is possible to get in that 
number. The first and second sizes will bloom this year, and the third will 
make fine plants for next season’s flowering. 
American Beauty. Rich carmine crimson. This grand Rose is grown largely 
to supply’ the New York market with flowers. So eagerly sought are its 
blossoms that they readily sell at from SI.00 to $2.00 each in the winter season. 
Anna de Diesbacli. Dark rich pink ; immense size. 
Paul Neyron. Probably the largest of all Roses; color, clear dark pink, 
shaded carmine. Form of flowers, bold and handsome; very fragrant. 
Capt. Christy. Delicate flesh color, large, full and double, very profuse; 
blooms from the time it is planted until frost. 
Gen. Jacqueminot. Color, rich dark crimson. This is still regarded as being 
the best crimson hardy Rose we have. Thousands of it are annually planted 
for cut flowers alone, and it usually gives splendid results. 
Gloire de Margottin. Bright crimson, full and double; one of the grand¬ 
est and most brilliant hardy Roses. 
Coquette des Blanches. One of the finest hardy white Roses. Flowers of 
medium size, produced in great masses, 
ha France. As yet unequaled in its color, a satiny shade of pink, shading to 
blush, of the most delicious fragrance ; ever-blooming and very hardy. 
Magna Cliarta. Bright dark pink, very large and fragrant. 
Mrs. John Laing. An exquisite shade of shell-like pink, deliciously fragrant 
and wonderfully free-blooming. 
TJlricli Bruner. Bright cherry red, shaded carmine.

size, $4.50; third size, $2.00. Single plants of any of the above, 76c., 60c. and 
20 c. each, according to size. 
GEN*. JACQUEMINOT. 
This is sometimes called the “Cur¬ 
ly Palm,"and is recognized as among 
the best for all purposes, being capa¬ 
ble of standing more ill usage, per¬ 
haps, than any other. The leaves 
have a tendency to curl as the plants 
grow older, hence its popular title 
of “Curly Palm.” Our plants are 
of stout, stocky growth, and are 
sure to give satisfaction. 
Price, specimen plants, 3 feet, 
high, $5.00 each; strong plants, 2 
feet high, $3.00 each ; strong plants 
18 inches high, SI.50 each; 12 to 15 
inches high, $ 1.00 each ; small plants, 
36 c. each. 
KENTIA BELMOREANA. 
Named below we believe arc the best possible 
selection to be obtained in that number. Even 
the smallest size of these will bloom abun¬ 
dantly this season. 
Malmaison. A splendid Rose, ever-bloom¬ 
ing, and of the richest shade of blush. It 
is nearly as hardy as the Hybrid Perpetual 
Roses, some immense bushes having stood 
out m winter in the New York ceme¬ 
teries for many years. 
Agrippina. No Monthly Rose surpasses 
this in profusion of bloom. The 
richest shade of crimson, blos¬ 
soming t he entire season. 
Perle des «?«*rdins. The best 
yellow Tea Hose. Large size, 
line form, exquisite Tea fra¬ 
grance, and ever-blooming. 
Hermosa, A clean healthy 
grower; color, bright pink. It is grown largely in the New York cemeteries 
for its hardiness and continuous blooming. 
Marie Lambert. A pure white Tea Rose; ever-blooming, of largo size and 
delicious fragrance. One of the very best summer-blooming Tea Roses. 
Souvenir de Wootton. This superb Rose is unquestionably one of the finest 
varieties ever introduced for either summer or winter blooming. The color 
is a beautiful shade of crimson, deliciously fragrant, a constant and most pro¬ 
lific bloomer, every new shoot forming a flower-bud ; it retains itscolor better 
than any Rose of its class, and is exceedingly vigorous in growth, rendering it 
one of the most satisfactory Roses for either the amateur or commercial flor¬ 
ist to grow. We have tried this for hardiness in the open ground and find it 
will live out all winter in the latitude of New York City. 
Mrs. l>e Graw. Rich glossy pink; a hardy ever-blooming Rose of surpassing 
merit. It. is wonderfully prolific in flowering, and being hardy may well be 
considered one of our finest summer Roses. 
Mad. Moste. Clear lemon yellow, shading to white. It. is a true “Tea” var¬ 
iety of delicious fragrance and splendid form. Whether for winter or sum¬ 
mer flowers this variety cannot be surpassed. 
Niplietos. Pure white, long pointed buds, one of the most beautiful Roses in 
(fur list. 
Catherine Mermet. The most beautiful of the light pink Roses. Buds long 
and pointed, the ideal form in a Rose, full and double, deliciously fragrant. 
Ron Silene. Brilliant carmine, a strong vigorous grower and very prolific in 
bloom; exquisite Tea fragrance. 
Safrano. Color, bright buff, exquisitely fragrant, this is the ideal Tea Rose.

$3.00; third size, $1.00. Single plants of any of the above, 50c., 30c. and 10c.
