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- 
ance by liberal manuring and good cultivation. 
Blanche Moreau. Pure white, large; full and 
perfect form. 
Countess of Murinals. Large, pure white, 
beautifully mossed. 
Princess Adelaide. Bright, rosy pink ; large. 
40 cents each ; $4.00 per dozen. 
CLIMBING ROSES. 
These, for their hardiness and profusion of flowers, 
all lovers of the beautiful. They are admirably adapted 
many unsightly objects, and are always ornamental in 
hut once in the season, hut their rich, glossy foliage will

recommend themselves to 
to cover arbors, walls, and 
any situation. They bloom 
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. 
Baltimore Belle. Pale blush, turning white ; blooms in clusters; very popular. 
Gem of the Prairie. Rosy red. The 
only fragrant Prairie Rose. 
Jules Margo ttin. Carmine rose, fine 
in open flower and in bud ; the best 
of all the climbing sports. It may 
be grown either as a Pillar Rose, or, 
by pruning, kept in bush form ; it 
should be in every collection. 
Queen of the Prairie. Flowers 
double, red, and in clusters. One 
of the best climbers and bloomers. 
40 cts. each ; $4.00 per dozen. 
CLIMBING ROSE USED ON A FENCE. 
NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSE. 
Crimson Rambler. This is the most 
decided novelty in roses we have 
had in years. Introduced from 
Japan in 1893, it has been a source 
of wonder and admiration wher¬ 
ever exhibited. The plant is a vig¬ 
orous grower, making shoots from 
eight to ten feet long in a season. 
A charming pillar Rose; for cover¬ 
ing trellises or buildings there is 
nothing finer. The flowers are grown 
in great pyramidal panicles, each 
carrying thirty to forty blooms; color 
is a "bright, vivid crimson, showing 
none of the purplish tint so com¬ 
monly seen in crimson roses. 
Strong plants, five-inch pots, $1.00 each ; 
$10.00 per dozen.
