Oxir Colored Plate of Roses for tHis year shows the 
“WINSOME” Collection of Beautiful Garden R< 
T 
oses. 
HIS COLLECTION contains the cream of the new varieties, to which we have added two well-tried sorts of established merit, 
thus buyers can get in the Winsome Collection, at a reasonable price, the pick of the new and rare Roses. In making up this 
collection we have followed the practice of years in selecting sorts which are pre-eminently adapted for garden culture, which combine 
a wide range of color, the widest possible in the number selected, vigor of growth, freedom of bloom, hardiness and all the essentials 
of the best Roses. Our Colored Plate Collections are famous throughout thecountry; they give universal satisfaction, as is evidenced 
by the number of congratulatory letters we receive annually from purchasers. Even the smallest size will, under ordinary con¬ 
ditions, give an abundance of bloom, but the larger sizes will, of course, bloom earlier and more profusely. We will send FREE 
with each collection our pamphlet on “The Garden Culture of the Rose,” which gives full detailed instructions on the planting 
and subsequent care of them. 
No. 5. 
No A grand, soft, white Rose, IVORY. 
This beautiful Rose is a sport from the variety “Golden 
Gate,” which has attained such popularity the past few years 
as a first-class sort for winter blooming. “Ivory” has the same 
strong, sturdy habit as the parent, the same large fragrant 
flowers, the same long, heavy-nowering stems, the fine buds and 
elegant form as the parent; but is a soft white in color. This 
Rose is certain to have a prominent position in the list of best 
varieties for either summer or winter flowering. 
Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, 
S3.00 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
no. 2 . New Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose, TRIUMPH. 
A grand new Hybrid Tea Rose, Gruss an Teplitz x Gen. 
McArthur, raised by E. G. Hill & Co., from whom we purchased 
the entire stock. It is a strong-growing, very free blooming 
variety, long straight stems, large and handsome foliage. The 
blooms are splendid, large, full and double, the buds are finely 
shaped, borne singly and erect on strong stems. The color 
is a beautiful shade of deepest carmine-pink with crimson tones 
and a beautiful sheen. It is valuable for either summer or winter 
blooming. The fragrance is strong and spicy; in short, it has 
all the qualities of a first-class Rose, and being an American- 
raised seedling, must prove adaptable to our climate. For the 
same reason it will be welcomed into the galaxy of fine American 
Roses, many of which we have the honor of introducing. 
Price, 1st size, $1.00 each; 2d size, 75c. each; 3d size, 
50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 
No ' 3 ' yel B lo A w J rose, SOUVENIR DE PIERRE N0TT1NG. 
This grand new Rose has been well tested in this country, 
showing that it is well adapted to our climate. It is of 
strong, bushy habit, with splendid, deep green foliage, strong 
and healthy, so that it is almost immune against disease. The 
flowers are very full, large and extraordinarily lasting, keeping 
over a week when cut. The buds are very long, of a most 
beautiful shape and stand proudly erect on long, straight stems. 
The color is yellow with very delicate Chinese pink and saffron- 
yellow shadings ; the centre of the flower is a very rich golden- 
yellow. It is delightfully fragrant. In its abundance of 
blossoms this grand new variety surpasses all other Roses of 
every type; plants of a few months’ growth are never without 
buds or blossoms throughout the season. While the first flower- 
buds are developing on top new growths appear below bearing 
another crop, and this is succeeded by others. 
Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 2d size, 40c. each, 
S4.00 per doz.; 3d size, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 
No. 4. 
Hardy, Ever-blooming Rose, WHITE MAMAN COCHET. 
What has been so long desired, viz. : a pure white hardy, 
ever-blooming Rose, has been obtained in this grand variety. 
It has the requisites of a perfect garden Rose—substance, size, 
fragrance, hardiness, vigor and profusion of bloom—rivaling 
the best of the monthly ever-blooming Roses in the latter all- 
important quality. It is a “sport” from the well-known and 
much-valued Rose, “Maman Cochet,” inheriting all its fine 
qualities, full and firm buds, long and pointed, the ideal Rose, 
keeping long when cut. 
. Price, 1st size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, 
S3. 00 per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz._ 
Hardy Ever-blooming Rose, PINK MAMAN COCHET. 
From ocean to ocean, from the frozen North to the sunny 
South, this grand Rose has been tested and has been found 
adapted to all climes and conditions of growth. It has the 
necessary substance to withstand our hot summers and is 
hardy enough with slight protection to live out during the 
winter. The buds are a beautiful pink; the color is held in 
the open flower. The flower stems are long, the buds and flowers 
are held erect, and it is delightfully fragrant. 
1st .size, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.; 2d size, 30c. each, $3.00 
per doz.; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
No. 6. 
New Hardy Hybrid Tea Rose, LADY BATTERSEA. 
A seedling variety of great distinctness of character. The 
growth is vigorous, the shoots long, with fine green leaves, 
each shoot bearing a flower thrown well above the foliage, 
and produced singly so as to require little or no disbudding. 
The buds are long, oval and pointed, and of a beautiful cherry- 
crimson, permeated with an orange shade. The flowers are 
of moderate size and almost full, with the petals so well together 
as to retain their form for a long time. When first open the 
blooms are light rosy-crimson, still keeping the orange tinge 
of the bud, brilliant in the extreme, passing to pure soft rose, 
the color clear and attractive. 
Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 2d size, 40c. each, 
$4.00 per doz.; 3d size, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 
No. 7. 
“ Dwarf Perpetual-Flowering Crimson Rambler/’ 
MADAME NORBERT LEVAVASSEUR. 
One of the most remarkable Roses of the period. A seed¬ 
ling from “ Crimson Rambler” but of dwarf, very compact habit. 
The flowers are of the same shade of rich crimson and are borne 
in wonderful profusion from the time the plant is large enough 
to bear a flower until the close of the season. It will be in¬ 
valuable for beds and borders and for cemetery purposes it 
cannot be excelled, as it is hardy and ever-blooming. 
Price, 1st size, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz.; 2d size, 40c. each, 
$4.00 per doz.; 3d size, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100. 
No. 8. 
A MAGNIFICENT HARDY < < M A fiM A FD A MA 99 
EVER-BLOOMING ROSE, 1VIAUIM Arf\AIMU. 
Fairly entitled to be called “The Ever-blooming ‘Jack’ Rose." 
After a more extended and thorough trial of this grand 
variety, we feel we cannot say too much in praise of it.- Raised 
by crossing the well-known and valuable “Magna Charta” and 
“Safrano,” it is named after both parents, using a portion of 
the name of each. It combines the hardiness and vigor of the 
former with the free-blooming habit and delightful fragrance 
of the Tea Roses. The flowers closely resemble “ Magna Charta ” 
in size and fullness, but are more double; color, clear deep rose. 
It is a strong, healthy grower, a constant and abundant bloomer. 
It is one of the healthiest Roses we have; strong, bushy habit, 
with foliage like the “General Jacqueminot,” but free from the 
diseases peculiar to Hybrid Perpetual Roses, and as free- 
blooming as a monthly Rose; flowers 4 to 5 inches across. 
Price, 1st size, 60c. each; 2d size, 40c. each; 3d size, 2Cc. 
each, $2.00 per doz.
