NEW HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE 
ADMIRAL DEWEY. <*„./.) 
A new Hybrid Tea Hose raised by Mr. J. LI. Taylor, one of the 
largest growers of Roses for the New York market. It is of the 
largest size, very free dowering, blooming continuously throughout 
the year, whether planted out in the open ground or grown in pots or 
on benches in the greenhouse. It has been tried in the open ground 
and has been provod hardy in the vicinity of Now York. Thousands 
of it are grown in greenhouses for the critical New York market, 
where it has been enthusiastically received by connoisseurs in Hne 
Iioses. Th© ground color is a light flesh tint, almost white, suf¬ 
fused with a beautiful blush, deepening to a rosy blush in the 
centre, a largo, full Rose with broad, strong petals beautifully 
cupped. The stems are strong and straight, holding the flowers 
erect. The raiser thought so highly of it that ho deemed it worthy 
of being named in honor of America’s great Admiral, and received 
a letter of thanks from Admiral Dewey for naming such a beautiful 
Rose In his honor. We wore so Impressed with its beauty and 
excellence that wo purchased a large stock of it, and offer it very 
low for such a grand new Rose. Wo show It on the front cover of 
our catalogue, in the “Admiral” Collection on the Colored, Plate 
opposite, and show it in a group of flowers on page 125. 
Price, first size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; second size, 50c. each,

KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA, <*„.*.) 
A Hybrid Tea Rose, soft pearly white, lightly tinted with lemon 
in the centre, just enough to relieve the white, remarkubly fra¬ 
grant, a strong, healthy grower, with bold, beautiful foliage. The 
habit is free ; the beautiful, perfectly shaped (lowers are borne in 
profusion on long graceful stems, so that it is invaluable for cut 
(lowers. It is hardy in our northern latitudes with ordinary pro¬ 
tection. 
SOUVENIR DE WOOTTON. 
A beautiful shade of carmino crimson, and, before extreme warm 
weather sets in, it is, in most cases, a rich crimson without any 
carmine shades. Liko all Roses of this color, it is liable to lose it, 
to a great extent, in very warm weather, but it retains it better 
than any Rose of its class. It is deliciously fragrant, perfectly 
hardy, a constant and most prolific bloomer, every new shoot form¬ 
ing a flower bud. 
MRS. ROBERT GARRETT. <m>. *.> 
It is a difficult matter to describe the coloring of a Rose; much 
of the coloring is duo to its form and its semi-transparency, and is 
generated as it were in the Rose itself. A shallow Rose cannot 
have the beautiful color effects seen in a Rose like Mrs. Robert 
Garrett, which is of remarkable depth, even in the fully opened 
llower. Its petals are of great substance, containing more than 
the ordinary amount of coloring matter. Speaking broadly, the 
goneral color effcot of this Rose may be described as being a glow¬ 
ing shell-like pink. 
Price, first size, strong two-year-old plants, 60c. each, $6.00 per 
doz.; second size, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz.; third size, 15c. each, 
$1.50 per doz. 
SOUVENIR DU PRESIDENT CARNOT. <m>. 5 ., 
Whether considered from the standpoint of the commercial cut- 
flower growor or from its fitness for garden work, tills Rose is 
without a superior. The growth is vigorous, the flower is very 
large, both in the bud and expanded double, and opens beautifully. 
Technically described, it could be called a rosy flesh, very soft in 
the centre, and sliaded with a lighter flesh at the end of the petals. 
INCONSTANT BEAUTY. <*«, *.> 
A wonderful new Rose, deriving its name of “ Inconstant Beauty” 
from its quality of producing flowers of different shades on the 
same plant. The colors vary from crimson to light pink, through 
shades of tawny red, light yellow with orange and citron red 
centre, pale flesh with pink centre, orange chrome and deep rose, 
all these colors being frequently seen on ono bush at the same 
time. The beauty of color effects is indescribable. 
CLARA WATSON, uvo. /.> 
This Is one of the most beautiful winter-flowering Roses, of the 
largest size, very fragrant and fine form. The predominating color 
is salmon pink, blended with blush pink on the outer edge of the 
petals, with just enough yellow at the base to bring out the whole, 
making it a very artistic and distinct flower. It is a very strong 
grower and very free flowering, and must become a general favor¬ 
ite. It is also a grand summer-bedding Rose, good strong grower, 
fine substance and free bloomer. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT. (*„.«.> 
The color is a French white, deepening to rosy blush in the cen¬ 
tre. Compact, vigorous habit and wonderful profusion of bloom.

LA FRANCE, cvo. w.) 
Wo cannot speak too highly of this superb Rose, which every 
year becomes more popular. Flowers large and beautiful, either 
in the bud form or when expanded; peach-blossom color, shaded 
pink and silvery rose. It is very free blooming, every shoot form¬ 
ing a beautiful flower. In addition to this, it is entirely hardy 
with a slight protection of leaves, and most deliciously fragrant, 
thus combining in a marked degree all the qualities of a perfect 
garden Rose. 
New Hybrid Tea Rose, BALDUIN. <ao.//.) 
(Known also as “Red Kaiserin.”) 
This fine new hardy ever-blooming Rose we show on the Colored 
Plate opposite. The color is unique, a very soft, intense carmine 
crimson, with deeper shades in the depths of the petals, in color 
very like “American Beauty.” The profusion of bloom is truly 
marvelous, every shoot producing a flower. It is a grand acqui¬ 
sition to our red Roses, and is equally valuable for winter forcing 
or for summer blooming in the open ground. Mr. John Cook, of 
Baltimore, Md., the raiser of “Souvenir de Wootton,” “Mrs. 
Robert Garrett” and other fine Roses, wrote to us as follows; “ I 
would like to draw your attention to the new red Rose ‘Balduin’ 
(or Red Kaiserin), the best clean carmine or red Rose yet intro¬ 
duced. I have grown it now for four years, and can guarantee it 
as the best outdoor Rose in its color.” We have a fine stock of 
this grand new Rose, and offer it very low, considering its great 
merit and its rarity. 
Price, first size, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz.; second size, 50c. each, 
$4.50 per doz.; third size, 25c. each, S2.25 per doz. 
PERLE DES JARDINS. <*„. «.>

rich shade of yellow, large size and perfect form, Tea fragrance, a 
healthy, free grower.
