MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER 
(Lowe & Shawyer) 
(See cut above and on front cover.) 
This variety is a wonder for freedom of growth and 
bloom; no other forcing variety can touch it on these 
two points. 
It throws up strong breaks in rapid succession, and 
a bench soon shows dense growth, every shoot tipped 
with a bud. 
The color is bright peach-pink, the nearest approach 
to Rose Queen in tone, and is carried on 3 and 4-foot 
stems. 
The rose has won nearly twenty awards in the East, 
besides making a splendid showing at Cleveland. 
Ready March 1. $30 per 100; $250 per 1000. Grafted 
stock, $5 per 100 additional. 
MRS. CHAS. RUSSELL 
(Alex. Montgomery) 
This wonderful new American rose has taken the 
country by storm; no other forcing rose except Ameri¬ 
can Beauty can compete with it when it comes to 
counting points. 
A bunch of three dozen blooms carried perfectly 
from Boston to Richmond; stems 3 feet long, stiff, and 
surmounted by grand rosy pink blooms of the largest 
size and build. 
Ready March 1. Own root, $30 per 100; grafted, 
$35 per 100. 
MI-LADY 
(Towill) (Pierson) 
A cross between Richmond and J. B. Clark; 
color, similar to Richmond; the flower is large, full, 
of splendid form, and very fragrant; a fine keeper. 
Ready March 1. $30 per 100; $35 per 100 grafted. 
MME. EDMOND ROSTAND 
(Pernet) (H. T.) 
A delightfully free, strong grower with very few 
thorns and small ones at that. Bud long and beautifully 
formed, opening into a surprisingly large, full flower, 
with immense outer petals; color, clear pink with sal¬ 
mon shadings and reddish orange center, every tint 
clear and beautiful. The finest of the Ant. Rivoire 
type on account of its brilliant coloring, and free, strong 
growth; at this date (December 20) it is in full growth 
without a sig of going dormant. A grandly beautiful 
rose. 
Ready March 1. $1 each; $50 per 100. 
BRITISH QUEEN 
(McGredy) 
Creamy white of good size and superb form, globular 
yet pointed, petals reflexing as it opens; blooms on 
slender stiff stems, very free and fragrant; the flowers 
have a beautiful refined finish seen in few roses. 
Those who were privileged to see this magnificent 
rose blooming at Portadown the past year will never 
forget the sight. 
$1 each; $75 per 100. 
MME. CHARLES LUTAUD 
(Pernet) (H. T.) 
A fine vigorous grower, with erect branching habit, 
and almost thornless. Foliage broad and nicely 
bronzed; bud very long and pointed, on long stems. 
The bloom is large and full, rich chrome yellow, with 
rosy scarlet on the outer petals; has Marquise Sinety 
blood but very distinct from that variety. 
Ready March 1. $1 each; $50 per 100. 
LOUISE C. BRESLAU 
(Pernet) (Pcrnctiana) 
This rose would he a beautiful ornament to the 
garden if it never bore a flower, for the foliage is ex¬ 
quisite, amply produced, and shining as though var¬ 
nished, with beautiful habit. 
In addition, the flower is superb in color, like that 
of a Source d’ Or chrysanthemum, with Austrian 
copper outer petals, full, and of wonderful spread when 
open. A promising bedding variety for the American 
garden. 
Ready March 1. $1 each; $50 per 100.
