DIVISION I—SUMMER ROSES. 
Blooming in June and July. 
CLASS I.—CLIMBING OR SARMENTOUS ROSES. 
Ayrshire Roses (Rosa arvensis hybridu). 
Those are of slender, rapid growth, often running- fifteen feet in one season, and are used in covering buildings, 
etc. They do not require rich soil, and should be pruned very little or not at all; they are somewhat, less hardy and 
less valuable than the Hybrid Climbing and Prairie Hoses. 
Bennett's Seedling, vig. ( Bennett , 181*0.) Pure white double flowers of medium size. On own roots. 50c. 
Banksia Roses (Rom Banksia). 
ON OWN ROOTS AND GROWN IN POTS. 
Most of the varieties in this class have small white ilowers, resembling double cherrj’ blossoms. The wood is 
very smooth, slender, and of rapid growth, the foliage quite small. Not being hardy, they have no great value in 
the North except lor culture in the greenhouse.*, but in the Southern States they form a very desirable group. 
White Banksia, vig. Pure white; small, full flower; violet scented. On own roots. 60c. 
Yellow Banksia, vig. Clear yellow; small double flowers. On own roots. 50c. 
Prairie Roses (Rosa rubifolia ). 
These are much the most valuable of all the non-remontant climbers. The foliage is rougn, large, with five 
leaflets generally of a dark color; for rapidity of growth they equal the Ayrshires, and surpass all climbers in hardi¬ 
ness. The flowers are produced in large* clusters late in the season when other Summer Hoses are* gone. When it is 
desired to cov r walls, unsightly buildings, etc., with Hoses, none will Ik; found to do the work so efficiently as 
varieties of the Prairie Rose. 
Anna Maria, t rig. (Samuel Feast , 1845.) Blush; cluster large; has few thorns. On own roots. 50c. 
BALTIMOHK BELLE, vig. (Samuel Feast , 18/,3.) Pale blush, becoming ne*arly white; compact and fine. On 
own roots. 50c. 
Gem of the Prairies, free. (Adolphus Burgess , 1865.) lied, occasionally blotched with white; a supposed cross 
between Queen of the Prairies and Mme. Laffag. Large, flat flowers; the; only variety in the class which is fra¬ 
grant. Budded plants. 50c. 
Mrs. Ilovey, vig. (Joshua Pierce, 1850.) Pale, delicate blush, becoming almost white; resembles Baltimore Belle. 
On own roots. 50c. 
QUEEN OF THE PRAIRIES, vig. (Samuel Feast , 18L3.) Bright rosy red, frequently with white stripe. Foliage 
large and quite deeply serrated. On own roots. 50c. 
Triumphant, vig. (Joshua Pierce, 1850.) White, tinted with flesh; double and compact; distinct. Seven leaflets 
are not uncommon. On own roots. 50c. 
CLASS II.—AUSTRIAN OR YELLOW ROSES. 
(Rosea lutea.) 
These require careful pruning. Remove weakly wood altogether, and only shorten a few inches the shoots left 
for flowering. Il' pruned close they will not bloom, as the flowers are produced from the terminal shoots of the old 
wood. They are not grown on own roots, but only as budded plants. 
Harrison's Yellow, free. (Harrison, 1830.) Golden yellow ; medium size; semi-double. A freer bloomer than 
Persian. Budded plants. 50c. 
PERSIAN YELLOW, free. (Willock, 1830.) Bright yellow, small, nearly full. It is desirable to grow more than 
one plant, and by pruning one this year in the usual way, and the other plant, the next year, annual crops of 
flowers may be had. Budded plants. 50c. 
CLASS III.—MOSS ROSES. 
(Rosa centifolia muscosa.) 
This is a favorite class with every one, on account of the beautiful buds, which, for bouquets and cut. flowers, 
are invaluable, , , . . , , . , .... . „ , 
They are subject, as a class, to mildew, and require close pruning and high culture. I hey amply repay caretul 
attention by the. increased size and beauty of the flowers. They are all very hardy. The foliage is generally some¬ 
what crimpled, and has mostly seven leaflets. «... J ^ 
The charm of a Moss Hose is the bud. Such kinds as the Common, Gracilis and Crested, with graerl ul buds, ai e 
especially recommended. Princess Adelaide is good both in bud and flower, and is grown upon Us own roots. I he 
oilier varieties are difficult to propagate, and are grown as budded plants. 
Capt. John Ingram, free. (Laffay, 1870.) Purplish crimson. Budded plants. 50c. 
Cheveral, vig. (Moreau-Robert, 1887.) Large, full, very double ; rich bronze red changing to dark purplish crimson; 
fragrant. Budded plants. 50c. 
Common Moss, free. Pale rose, very beautiful buds. A great favorite. Budded plants. 50c. 
Comt«*Hs«* do Murinais, vig. (Vibert , 1848.) White, tinged with flesh. Budded and on own roots. 50c. 
CRESTED MOSS, free. (Vibert, 1827.) Deep pink colored buds, surrounded with a mossy fringe and crest; free 
from mildew. A fragrant, very beautiful rose. Budded plants. 50c.
