R^ine Marie Henriette, vig. (A. Levet , 1878.) A seedling from Mme. Berard , fertilized by Gen. Jacqueminot. 
Flowers large, full; color beautiful cherry-red, a pure shade; flowers somewhat scented. An extra fine climbing 
variety. 50c. 
SAFRANO,/ree. ( Beaureguard, 1849.) Saffron and apricot, a free bloomer. One of the oldest varieties, and in the 
bud state scarcely to be surpassed. 50c. 
Sombreuil, vig. ( Robert dt Moreau, 1851.) Creamy white, tin tea with rose; very large; quite free from mildew and 
one of the hardiest. A splendid sort for growing out of doors. 50c. 
SUNSET, mod. ( P. Henderson, 1884.) A sport from Perle des Jardins. Identical in every respect with that variety 
except that its color, instead of bring a canary yellow, is of a rich tawny shade of saffron and orange, similar but 
deeper than Safrano or Mme. Falcot. In size, vigor and productiveness it is in all respects the same as the variety 
from which it sprung. 50c. 
Suzanne Blancliet, vig. (Xabonnand, 1886.) Rose tinted with flesh color; large and of fine form; very fragrant. 50c. 
CLASS V.—HYBRID TEA ROSES. 
( Rosa Indica odorata hybHda.) 
MOSTLY GROWN IN POTS. 
This is a group, flowering as profusely as the Monthly Roses, produced from crossing Teas with Hybrid PerpetualsL 
La France, the oldest variety of the class, is probably more highly prized by connoiseurs than any other Rose, and 
though none of the new varieties in this division have proved her equal, there will yet be found, we hope, some worthy 
companions among them. 
Augustine Guinoiseau, vig. (Guinoiseau, 1889.) Flowers white, slightly tinted with flesh. Sometimes called White 
La France. Valuable for forcing. On own roots. 50c. 
DUCHESS OF ALBANY, vig. (IF. Paul <& Son, 1883.) A sport from the well known and popular La France. While 
it resembles its parent in several respects, it is quite distinct in color, being of a rich, deep, even pink tint, and the 
shape is more fiuished; it is equally vigorous, free blooming and fragrant. One of the most important of recent 
acquisitions for growing in the open air or for forcing. Budded and on own roots. 50c. 
LA FRANCE, mod. or free. (Guillotfils , 1867.) Raised from seed of a Tea Rose. Delicate silvery rose, changing to 
silvery pink; very large, full, of fine globular form; a most constant bloomer. The sweetest and most useful of all 
Roses; none can surpass the delicacy of its coloring. Budded and on own roots. 60c. 
Madame Caroline Testout, vig. (Pemet Ducher, 1890) A beautiful bright, yet clear pink rose, and very much 
resembles La France, from which it undoubtedly originated. It is of more sturdy habit, however, and exceedingly 
floriferous, and the individual blooms are often much larger than those of La France. It maintains its beautiful 
color at all seasons; handsome foliage: stem stout, fragrance very delicate. On own roots. 50c. 
METEOR, vig. (Bennett , 1887.) Rich, dark, velvety crimson, retaining its color well; a constant bloomer; healthy, 
with no tendency to mildew; admirable for forcing. On own roots. 50c. 
Fink Rover, vig. (IF. Paul <£ Son, 1890.) Flowers very pale pink, deeper in the center, large, full and expanded; 
exceedingly sweet; buds long, clean and handsome. Of semi-climbing habit. Budded and on own roots. 50c. 
Souvenir of Wootton, vig. (Cook, 1888.) A red Hybrid Tea from seed of Bon Silene fertilized with Louis Van Houtte; 
plaut vigorous with fine foliage; free blooming; buds of good size, on strong shoots; of a rich red color and 
extremely fragrant. If the buds were longer, this would be a very valuable variety for forcing. On own roots. 50c. 
CLASS VI.—POLYANTHA. ROSES. 
{Rosa Polyantha.) 
ALL ON OWN ROOTS AND GROWN IN POTS. 
This is an interesting group from Japan. The foliage and flowers are both very small, the latter being produced in 
panicles. The original varieties are uon-remontant, but what we offer are crosses or hybrids, natural or artificial, 
between the single flowered Polyantha and varieties of other classes, Teas, etc. They are ever blooming, of slender 
growth, produce extremely beautiful little flowers and are quite as hardy as the Hybrid Noisettes and Hybrid Teas. 
Their character of blossoming in panicled clusters, gives them a distinctive interest, and they are much esteemed. As an 
edging for a bed of monthly roses they are very effective and useful. We are greatly pleased with them, and strongly 
recommend them to all devotees of the Rose. 
CECILE BRUNNER, mod * {Mme. Ducher, 1880.) A hybrid from Polyantha simplex fertilized by a Tea. Salmon 
pink, with deep salmon center; very small, full, delicately scented; admirable in bud and open flower. An exquis¬ 
ite miniature rose for floral work. Highly commended. 50c. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT, vig. (Soupert (£ Notting, 1890.) Medium size; very double and beautifully imbricated like 
an aster; produced in clusters; pearly white, with rosy lake centers, liable to vary, producing often red and white 
flowers on same plaut. Valuable for florists for designs, or as a market pot plant, being a remarkably free and 
constant bloomer, and of easy culture. One of the most valuable roses of recent introduction. (See cut.) 25c. 
Etoile d’Or, dwf. {Dubreuil, 1889.) Flowers medium size; citron yellow in the center, shading to pale chrome yellow; 
very free flowering and pretty. An acquisition. 50c. 
Little Fet, vig. Small white flowers; very free flowering. 50c. 
FAtJUERETTE, free. ( Guillot , 1875.) This is the oldest of the white varieties. Pure white, about one inch in diame¬ 
ter, flowering in panicles of from five to forty blooms, full, prettily formed, recalling blossoms of the double flower¬ 
ing cherry. In flower continuously from June to November. A rose for the million. 50c.
