New Hybrid Briar Rose, JULIET.

distinctive character is found in the two distinct colors in the flowers

Juliet is one of the most distinct Roses sent out in a generation, 
the unique coloring is not found in any other Rose in cultivation. 
In addition the flower possesses a beautiful form, extra large and 
full, and a delightful fragrance. Another charming quality is the 
refreshing fragrance of the young foliage. It is one of the most 
pleasing novelties amongst Roses, and is sure to become a popular 
variety. (See cut.) Price, strong imported plants, S3.00 each. 
EDWAKD MAWLEY (Hybrid Tea). 
This wonderful Rose is the result of many years work in careful 
hybridizing, so as to give to the world a rich Velvety Crimson Rose, 
possessing in a superlative degree all the good qualities a true 
Hybrid Tea Rose should have in size, shape, form, color, and free¬ 
dom of blooming with a perfect habit of growth. 
Either singly or massed in beds, its wonderful color immediately 
arrests attention. With the most perfect habit to be found among 
all the Roses grown, it yields in the greatest profusion throughout 
the whole season its truly superb, perfectly-formed blooms. 
The velvety bloom upon its huge petals is a revelation in coloring; 
the form is faultless, very large and quite full with petals, beau¬ 
tifully arranged, and of wonderful depth and substance, the growth 
is handsome, uniform, and perfect, holding every bloom rigidly 
upright. It has the most delicious and sweetest perfume of any 
Rose grown. Another great feature of this unique novelty is that 
it never burns or goes off color in the hottest weather. 
Price, strong imported plants, S3.00 each. 
Flower shown is 1/2 natural size. 
Mrs. AMY HAMMOND (Hybrid Tea). 
A most superb garden or bedding Rose, the ideal Hybrid Tea, in 
fact it is “ Everybody’s Rose.” It opens freely and in hot weather 
retains its exquisite shape and graceful reflexed form. 
The color is a blend of Ivory, Amber, and Apricot. The clear 
Amber color is most pronounced, and develops during the best 
part of the flowering season to bright Apricot, especially towards 
the base of the flower. Many blooms develop all over this delight¬ 
ful Apricot shading to such an extent that it is charming beyond 
description. This, together with its delicious fragrance, makes it, 
without question one of the greatest novelties, as well as one of the 
most distinct Roses that has yet been sent out.

color—the grandest and noblest Rose in the whole section to which 
it belongs. The growth is vigorous and upright, with the perpetual 
blooming habit of the true Hybrid Tea. Its rich, brilliant color, 
perfect shape, and gigantic size and finish, will compel attention in
