ROSES—Continued. 
Sunset.—A grand variety, the flowers 
are ol large size, fine, full form, very 
double, and deliciously perfumed. 
The color is a remarkable shade of 
rich golden amber, elegantly tinged 
and shaded with dark, ruddy copper, 
intensely beautiful, and resembling 
in color a splendid “after-glow.” It 
is a constant and profuse bloomer, 
and taken altogether is probably one 
ol the finest roses lately introduced. 
It is particularly valuable lor forcing 
and growing in conservatories. (See 
cut on page —.) 
Souvenir de la Malnialson.—A noble 
Rose, the blooms are extremely large, 
quartered and double to the center, 
rich creamy flesh, changing to lovely 
lawn, with rose center, and exceed¬ 
ingly sweet. Its great beauty in the 
Fall makes it the most valuable of 
all Roses at that season, a flower that 
is universally popular, and will al¬ 
ways remain so. 
The Bride.—This is undoubtedly the 
finest white Rose ever offered to the 
public, and we take pleasure in rec¬ 
ommending it to all our customers. 
It is a Rose that supplies a long-felt 
want. A lew of the white ever- 
blooming roses now in commerce have 
beautiful double fiow'ers, but none of 
them compare with The Bride in 
the size and shape ol the buds and 
half-expanded flowers. The buds are 
very large and of exquisite form, the 
petals are of fine texture and sub¬ 
stance, and the full flower is very 
double, measuring from three and 
one-hall to lour inches in diameter. 
The color is a delicate creamy white.

ROSES—Continued. 
The blooms can be cut with long stems, 
and will last in a fresh state after be¬ 
ing cut longer than any other known 
variety. This new Rose is a sport 
from Catherine Mermet, and is equal¬ 
ly valuable, either for Summer or 
Winter flowering. (See cut.) 
Whit© Bon Silen©.—This superb and ele¬ 
gant new Rose is noted for its splen¬ 
did buds, which are wonderfully large 
and handsome, the color is a rich, 
creamy white, very beautiful, the 
blooms retain all the grace and beau¬ 
ty of form which made its origi¬ 
nal (Bon Silene) so famous. (See cut 
on page —.) 
Madam© Welch©.—This grand new Tea 
Rose is almost unsurpassed in beau¬ 
ty. The color is a beautiful amber 
yellow, delicately tinged and shaded 
with rudy crimson. The flower is ex¬ 
tra large, fine globular form, very 
double and full, and exceedingly 
sweet. (See cut on page —.) 
Madam© Lamhard..—A No. 1. Rose, the 
flowers are extra large and full, very 
sweet and double, color a beautiful 
shade of rosy bronze passing to fawn 
and salmon, beautifully shaded with 
carmine, the buds and the reverse of 
the petals are a deep rosy crimson, a 
most charming Rose. 
Madame Joseph Swartz.—An elegant 
and beautiful new Tea Rose that has 
at once stepped into wide popularity, 
extra large globular flowers, deli¬ 
ciously perfumed and very full, the 
blooms are pure white, elegantly tint¬ 
ed and shaded with pale yellow and 
rose blush. A splendid Rose, and a 
valuable out door variety.
