THE, SOUPERT SET 
We heartily recommend this set of Tea Polyantha Roses as being very fine, 
especially for bedding purposes. They are ever-blooming, produce extremely 
beautiful flowers, and are quite hardy. The flowers are borne in clusters. 
The Soupcrt set of four hardy varieties for 35 cents ; or 10 cents each. 
Clothilde Soupert. Flowers of medium size, double, and beautifully formed, 
oval at first, but flattening as they expand ; the color is pearly white at the 
outer edge, shading to a center of rosy pink, sometimes varying* to nearly pure 
white. Very fragrant. Constant bloomer. 
Pink Soupert. Blooms in great profusion and for a long time, commencing 
when quite young. It is a handsomely-formed double Rose, with a delightful 
tea scent. Color, handsome pink. Equally adapted to the open ground and 
to pot culture. 
White Soupert. Pure white, full and double flowers ; fragrant. 
Yellow Soupert. This splendid novelty is almost identical with its parent 
Clothilde Soupert, except in color. Flowers very double, bell-shaped,-and 
open like a Camellia. Petals tinted white on a beautiful light yellow ground, 
extending to middle of petals. Plant dwarf and free-flowering. 
POLYANTHA ROSES 
A distinct class. Perfectly hardy. For many purposes its varieties are ex 
cellcnt. They are continuously in bloom. Desirable for house culture. The 
plants are of low growth, branch freely, and commence to "bloom while yet 
small, and continue to bloom nearly all the time. There is no kmcf of Rose 
which we can offer so willingly for a window plant. Those who have heretofore 
failed with Roses in the house may take cither one in this list with full confidence 
of success. The flowers are produced in clusters, and although not large, are 
very perfect and handsomely formed. They are also excellent for bedding out, 
producing a profusion of bloom, and requiring but slight protection in winter. 
Each, 10 cents ; per dozen, $1.00. 
Little White Pet. Light pink or blush on opening, changing to pure white. 
Splendid for bedding or planting in the cemetery. 
Mignonette. Clear, soft pink, passing to white, tinged with pale rose. The 
flowers are full and regular, perfectly double, and delightfully perfumed. 
Madame Cecil Brunner. Plant of dwarf growth, excellent for bordering 
beds. Color salmon-rose on a yellow ground. This Rose is very fragrant, 
and possesses the merit of being the most vigorous grower of its class. 
PERSIAN YELLOW 
The Rose of our mother’s gardens, and one that should he 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 arc inferior to 
the old standard varieties. Flowers nearly double, borne in immense clusters. 
Color a deep golden yellow. The plants are a perfect mass of flowers in June. 
Strong, 2-year plants, each, 50 cents ; dozen, $5.00. 
HEW HARDY EVERBLOOMINC ROSE 
Grass an Teplitz 
Color a rich scarlet, shading to velvety crimson ; very fragrant; a free, strong 
grower, and the most profuse bloomer known to us, blooming continually, and 
covered 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.
