MOSELIO. (Yellow Soupert). This is equal to Clothilde Soupert as a bedding 
variety, but different from it in color, which is a soft canary yellow, shading out to 
straw color on the outer edges of the petals. It is withal a very charming thing ; one 
of the very finest bedding- roses known. 
Good strong plants, $2.00 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.

CLIMBING WOOTTON. A sport from Souvenir de Wootton and indentical 
with it in color, size of flower and fragrance, but an exceedingly strong, vigorous 
grower, producing canes 10 to 15 feet long in one season. It is perfectly hardy in this 
section, and will prove a grand addition to this class; where the canes are well ripened, 
if slightly bent over in the spring, it will produce an abundance of flowers covering 
the whole stem.

year old plants, $4.00 per doz.

floriferous ; a grand new variety.
