John N. May’s Wholesale Trade List, 
FINK BOAMEK (Manda). This is without question a Hybrid between tiie Sweet- 
brier, and carries these characteristics in bloom, while the growth, which is very 
rampant, and the luxurious foliage, partake more of the Wiehuraiana. The single 
flowers, which are produced in close heads, are nearly two inches in diameter, 
bright rich pink, with almost a white center, which lightens up the orange red 
stamens, producing an effect which, combined with fragrance, makes it one of the 
most valuable roses in cultivation. 
Taking them together, the set of the four above varieties should be in every 
garden, and I am sure they will prove more valuable than the celebrated Crimsom 
Rambler, as it is of a much more vigorous growth. 
Some shoots made last season were from fifteen to twenty feet in length, and 
therefore must be considered a marvel among roses. 
Price of plants, 60 cts. each ; $6.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100 ; or a set of the four 
varieties, one each, $2.00.
