HYBRID TEA ROSES.—Continued. 
Kaiseria Augusta Victoria—Pure, "ivory white; a 
flower of grand build, from the very first bud form 
till the rose drops its petals. This elegant variety 
can be had in first-class style and great purity of 
color throughout the year. A splendid grower and 
with most beautiful foliage. Has proved one of 
the very bes t of the forcing roses. 15c. to 35c. 
La France—Delicate silvery rose, shaded with cerise 
pink, often silvery pink with peach shading. Very 
large, very double and of superb form. It flowers 
continually throughout the season. None can sur¬ 
pass the delicacy of its coloring; in fragrance in¬ 
comparable; in form perfect. The sweetest of all 
roses. It ranks first, not only in the section to 
which it belongs, but stands first and foremost 
among roses. 
Mine. Abel Cliatenay—This is a wonderfully strong, 
healthy growing variety, with rich bright foliage. 
A grand bedding rose, as it is a profuse and continu¬ 
ous bloomer; flowers of good size, very double, 
with slightly recurved petals; elegant buds, just 
the right size and shape for .buttonhole use. Color 
rosy carmine shaded salmon. 
Mine. Caroline Testoiit — A magnificent rose of 
French origin, flowers full, very large, globular 
form; color clear satin rose, very vivid, petals bor¬ 
dered with tender rose, very fragrant. This variety 
resembles La France, but its color is more deep, 
vivid and brilliant, flowers less full, but are better 
form. It is also more vigorous and blooms abun¬ 
dantly. 
Mine. Fraiiciska Kruger — A strikingly handsome 
rose, and one of the very best for open ground 
culture, especially adapted for beds or masses; the 
splendid flowers are deeply shaded copper yellow 
in color; very large. 
Mine. Helen Cambet—Lovely coppery vellow; will 
become one of our standard bedding roses. 
Mine. Joseph Schwartz—A strong, vigorous grower 
and one of the hardiest tea roses for out-door bed¬ 
ding. The flowers are cup shaped and borne in 
clusters; color white, beautifully flushed with pink. 
Mine. Schwaller—A strong, upright grower, verv 
free in bloom, with fragrance of La France! The 
color is a deep, rosy flesh, deepening on edge of '

of great merit. In rapidity and sturdiness of ' 
growth, profusion of bloom, and superb form of ' 
bud and flower; it will be hard to find its equal ‘ 
Small pot plants in open ground will, durino- the 
season, produce on long, stiff stems hundreds of l 
perfect flowers that are enchanting in fra«’rance i 
and delicate brightness. The color is rich ami mel ' 
low—pearly pink, changing to silverv rose It 
blooms nearly all the time. We recomm'end it as a ^ 
grand rose in every particular. t 
Marchioness of Downshire—A variety of sterling- 
merit. It always opens freely, and is free both in 
growth and bloom. Color is satiny pink shadino* 
rose: flowers large, full and finelv^formed and ol 
splendid substance. A grand variety in everv 
particular.

and pointed; the open flowers full and double The 
color IS a pleasing soft pink, a little deeper than 
Daybreak Carnation, totally distinct and unlike 
anything yet seen in roses. It is a strong- Yjo-or

stems.

Princess Bonnie — The only hardy crimson ever 
bjoommg rose. The brightest, sweetest, freest 
blooming rose in existence. Color solid crimson 
Queen Mab — This variety belongs to the decora¬ 
tive and buttonhole class of roses, of which Ma 
Capuciue and Mme. Laurette Messimy are good ex¬ 
amples. It is, however, perfectly distinct from all 
others, and is much superior in its sturdy habit of 
growth and the substance of the petals of the 
flowers, the latter quality enabling it to last longer 
when cut than any other rose we are acquainted 
with. The color may be described as soft, rosy 
apricot, the centre of the flower shaded with or¬ 
ange, and the outside tinted with rose and violet- 
it blooms with extraordinary freedom and is most 
excellent for garden decoration and for cutting. It 
has received a certificate of merit from the Eoyal 
Botanic Society. 20c. to 35c. 
Souvenir clu President Carnot — The new French 
hybrid tea rose. This variety is so fascinating 
that we believe it to be, everything considered, one 
of the greatest introductions of the last ten years. 
It is superb in every way. The flo-wers are 'laro-e 
full and double, exquisitely shaped, with heavy’ 
thick shell-like petals. The buds are beautiful—lon^^ 
and pointed like Niphetos. The color is new; delf- 
cate, rosy blush, shaded a trifle deeper at centre of 
flower. Deliciously fragrant; strong grower and 
free bloomer; will become one of the must popular 
of all roses.
