New Roses. 
Madame C. Testout. (Hybrid Tea.) A really grand rose, of tlie la France type, but largera nd better 
color. Mr. Ernest Asmus, in a paper read at the meeting of the Society of American Florists, at Washington, 
says: “Here is a rose which 1 think is the best Hybrid Tea up to date. It is clear pink in color. There is 
nothing in the rose line that can approach it in color, and the flower is as large as Baroness Rothschild and as 
free as la France; and, if my judgment is not mistaken, it will make a sensation in the cut flower market.” 
50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen. 
Kaizerina Augusta Victoria. (Hybrid Tea.) A new German variety. Color, pure ivory white. A 
large, full flower, magnificent in bud. Stems long and bearing large, strong canes, with handsome foliage. 
50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen. 
Augustine Halem. (Hybrid Tea.) This is like Marie Bauman in form, color and shape, but produces 
flowers with the freedom of a Tea. Color, dark crimson. A beautiful free (lowering rose, and very fragrant. 
50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen. 
Captain Lefort. A magnificent new ever-bloomer, with splendid large, hill flowers. Color, a lively 
shade of rich violet crimson, softly tinted with fine rosey salmon. Very desirable for cutting. Small plants, 25 
cents each; $2.50 per dozen. 
Duchesse Marie Salviata. Beautiful chrome-yellow, tinged with orange, passing to buff, prettily flushed 
with rose. Buds and outer petals orange red. The buds arc large, long and pointed, the flowers extra large 
and very sweet. Small plants, 25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen.

Roses recently introduced. Flowers very large and double; buds long and pointed, having the beautiful form 
of Niphetos. Color, rich creamy white, with center and base of petals soft golden yellow, frequently tinted with 
rose, and a very free bloomer. 50 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 
Madame Elie Lambert. (New' Tea.) We have no hesitation in recommending this as one of the very 
best Tea Roses. The flowers are extra large, fine globular form, very full and well built up. The color is some¬ 
what in the way of Madame de Wattville, but deeper; rich creamy white, faintly tinted with pale golden yellow, 
and exquisitely bordered and shaded with soft rosy flesh. Constant and profuse bloom. A very choice sort. 
50 cents each ; $5.00 per doz. 
Marion Dingee. Undoubtedly the finest crimson Tea Rose now known. This magnificent rose originated 
with Mr. John Cook, of Baltimore, who is widely known as one of the best judges and most skillful hybridizers 
in the country. The flowers are borne nearly upright on long straight stems. It is deep brilliant crimson, one 
of the darkest, if not the very darkest and richest colored Tea Roses in existence. Strong young plants, 
50 cents each.

are large and finely formed; color, rich crimson, with white centre, and very fragrant. 30 cents each; $3.00

Maurice Rouvier. (New Tea.) The flowers arc immense; fine globular form, very full and exceedingly 
sweet. Color, bright pinkish rose, elegantly tinted with shades of buff, and veined with deep shining crimson, 
while many of the petals have a wide border of silvery white. It is a strong grower, and prolific bloomer. 
50 cents each ; $5.00 per doz. 
Pearl Rivers. (Tea.) Raised from Devoniensis and Madame de Wattville, but has a better habit of 
growth and blooms more freely; color, ivory white, delicately shaded and bordered with clear rose; very 
fragrant and exquisitely beautiful. 30 cents each ; $3.00 per doz. 
Souvenir de Clairveaux. (New Tea.) The color is bright pinkish-rose, very rich and handsome, and

grower. 30 cents each, $3.00 per dozen.
