Dinsmore is one of the most satisfactory of all bedding roses.

in color and delightful fragrance. It is a very profuse and in¬ 
cessant bloomer, and, being entirely hardy, must give sat¬ 
isfaction.

color, shaded maroon; flowers very large and full; very sweet 
scented. A flue autumnal bloomer, vigorous grower, and one 
of the darkest roses yet raised.

Six New and Notable Hybrid Tea Roses. 
Duchess of Albany. In the way of La France, but deeper 
in color, more expanded in form, and larger in size. The flow 
ers are deep, even pink, very large and full, highly perfumed" 
and in all respects of first quality. The growth of the plant is

ordinary profusion. 
Viscountess Folkestone. The largest and most beauti¬ 
ful Hybrid'lea we know of; color white, shaded with salmon 
and pink ; deliciously fragrant and of soft satiny texture, similar 
to La France; unsurpassed in freedom of bloom, and very 
remarkable for its keeping qualities. It is of luxuriant growth 
and handsome foliage, and of good habit. 
The Meteor. A rose of superior merit, producing quan¬ 
tities of finely formed and remarkably rich velvety crimson 
flowers; very vigorous and healthy grower; a good forcing or 
summer bedding rose. 
Duchess of Leeds. A beautiful new rose, raised from La 
France, but many shades deeper in color, which is on the 
reverse side of the petals; the habit and foliage are similar; 
more profuse in blooming. The buds when opening are long 
pointed, and exquisitely shaped. 
William F. Bennett. Rich velvety crimson. This superb 
variety has the most delightful fragrance of any known rose. 
The buds are long and pointed, and are produced in great 
profusion. 
American Beauty. One of the most popular roses; a rich, 
rosy carmine, exquisitely shaded. It is truly an everblooming 
and delightfully sweet scented and vigorous rose.

variety has the most delicious tea fragrance, and is a strong-grow¬ 
ing, free-blooming rose, either for summer or winter flowering.

lovely rose, resembling somewhat the old Bon Silene, but it is 
double the size; very beautiful when in the bud, and the flowers 
retain their fine color when fully expanded. It is an excellent 
summer bedding rose; very handsome dark foilage; an exceed¬ 
ingly strong grower and profuse bloomer.

yellow centre; large and full, well formed, with stout petals; 
a very promising forcing rose.
