Vick’s Garden and Floral Guide 
New Hardy Everblooming Rose 
Grtiss a.n Teplitz 
Color a rich scarlet, shading to velvety crimson ; very fragrant; a free, strong 
grower, and the rrtost profuse bloomer known to us, blooming continually, and 
co.-ered with flowers the whole season. The mass of color produced is truly 
phenomenal, and the foliage extremely beautiful, all the younger growth being 
of a bronzy plum-color. Each, 15 cents ; per dozen, $1.50. 
New Hardy Yellow Rose 
Soliel ci’Or 
Soliel d'Or is a cross between Persian Yellow and Antoine Ducher. It 
retains a good deal of the character of Persian Yellow, the bark and wood being 
reddish, the thorns very fine, the foliage more ample, and the leaves, of a 
beautiful clear green, are closer together. 'Phis magnificent variety is perfectly 
hardy, robust, and vigorous, making a growth of about three feet in height. 
The buds are conical-shaped, of a lovely hue, the flower when expanded being 
well incurved and about three and a half inches in diameter. Superb in color, 
varying from gold and orange-yellow to reddish gold, shaded with nasturtium-red. 
Strong plants, each 50 cents ; per dozen, $5.00. 
Persian Yellow 
The Rose of our mother’s gardens, and one that should be in every garden 
to-day. In the craze for new varieties many of the fine old sorts are neglected 
for those of more recent introduction, and in many instances they are inferior to 
the old standard varieties. Flowers nearly double, borne in immense clusters. 
Color a deep golden yellow. The plants arc a perfect mass of flowers in June. 
Strong, 2-year plants, each, 50 cents ; dozen, $5.00.
