• PETER HENDERSON &. CO., MEW YORK* 
Unquestionably the finest Rose of its color introduced in a decade. 
Whether considered from the standpointof the commercial cut-flower grower 
or from its fitness for garden work, this Rose is without a superior, and it is 
doubtful if it has an equal. The growth is vigorous, the foliage dark green 
and very handsome, but the glory of the variety is in its flower. It is 
very large, both in the bud and in the expanded flower, double to the center, 
and opens beautifully. The coloring is nearer like Devoniensis than any Rose 
on the market at the present time, but it is lighter and approaches 
nearer to a white. Technically described, it could be called arosy-flesh, 
very soft in the center, and shaded with a lighter flesh at the end of the 
petals. (See cut.) Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. 
each, $3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
bl h o a o r ^g e r v ^e CLOTH1LDE SOUPERT. 
One of the most prolific bloomers in our entire list andad- 
mirably adapted to garden or pot culture, beginning to flower 
early and continuing without intermission the entire season if 
kept in healthy growing condition. The flowers are borne in 
sprays, very double and handsomely formed. The outer petals 
are pearly white, shading to a rosy pink in the center. They 
vary sometimes on the same plant from a pure white to deep 
silvery rose. A grand bedding variety. 
Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, 
$3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 
“ AMEKICAN R EAUTY ” 
A hardy Rose of the largest size, having the ever-bloom¬ 
ing qualities of the Tea Rose, with the delicious odor of 
the Damask Rose, consequently equally valuable for winter 
or summer flowering. In color, it is a deep, brilliant rosy- 
carmine, shaded toward the center with rich-carmine crim¬ 
son. This is unquestionably the most popular Rose now 
before the public, a popularity due entirely to its splendid 
value as a winter-forcing variety. (See cut.)
