MOSS ROSES. 
Admired for the beautiful moss covering of the buds. The Moss Rose is a strong, vigorous 
grower, perfectly hardy, and therefore justly es¬ 
teemed as very desirable for outdoor culture in open 
ground. Most varieties bloom but once in the sea¬ 
son, and usually not the first year, but the flowers 
and buds are very large and handsome, remain in 
bloom for a long time, and are highly prized wher¬ 
ever beautiful roses are known. They like rich 
ground and are much improved in beauty and frag¬ 
rance by liberal manuring and good cultivation. 
Blanche Moreau. Pure white, large ; full and 
perfect form. 
Countess of Murinals. Large, pure white, 
beautifully mossed. 
Gloire des Mosses. Blush ; very large and full. 
Princess Adelaide. Bright, rosy pink ; large. 
Zabaide. 
40 cents each ; $4.00 per dozen. 
CLIMBING ROSES. 
These, for their hardiness and profusion of flowers, H recommend themselves to 
all lovers of the beautiful. They are admirably adapted » to cover arbors, walls, and 
many unsightly objects, and are alwnys ornamental in #11 any situation. They bloom 
but once in the season, but their rich, glossy foliage will B render beautiful an un¬ 
sightly wall throughout the summer, and fences which are otherwise unattractive in their 
ordinary condition are rendered very ornamental when covered with climbing roses. With their 
fragrance and beauty they illustrate the landscape and sweeten the air, and bury from sight all 
that is objectionable.

bloomer. 
Persian Yellow. Perfectly hardy ; 
flowers double and full, deep golden 
yellow in color ; blooms very freely 
in June. The finest hardy yellow 
Rose grown. This Rose requires care¬ 
ful pruning. Remove weakly wood 
altogether, and only shorten a few 
inches the shoots left for flowering. 
If pruned close it will not bloom, as 
the flowers are produced from the 
terminal shoots of the old wood.

of the best half hardy climbing Roses. 
Very free bloomer ; flowers of pearl 
yellow, much like the Cloth of Gold.
