MME. HARDY—"White Lace and Emeralds.” 
MME. HARDY. Damask. (1832.) 4-6 feet. 
Expertly appraised the finest white damask, and even tho it blooms pro- 
fusely but once in spring, continues among the most popular six roses in 
this catalog. 
“White lace and emeralds and attar of roses,” says Hortense Wild. 
And we cannot resist including here again—"Mme. Hardy is a shrine in the 
garden. Her blossoms like Longfellow’s lovely stars are the ‘forget-me-nots of the 
angels’ ”—Mrs. L. J. Black, Hawthorne, California. 
What could a poor catalog-writer add to that! 3 for 4.50 each 1.75 
MME. GREGOIRE STAECHLIN. (Spanish Beauty.) 15 - 20 feet. 
In our opinion, among the most beautiful, large-flowered soft-pink climbers 
ever created, but alas the general rose public does not agree. Its lavish 
spring bloom is among our special delights. We grow a few for those 
who know and love it. 2.00 
MME. LOMBARD. Tea. (1877.) 4-5 feet. 
We quote again from Wm. Paul—"Flowers salmon-pink shaded with rose and 
yellow; large, full and globular; perfect in shape and petals, fine, strong stems. One 
of the best.”—and from Thomasville Nurseries, Georgia, A generation ago, it 
was the unrivalled leader in the lower South”’ Among the finest of our tea 
collection. ey ks) 
I wonder if you shouldn’t suggest in your excellent catalog th..' patience is a virtue 
and alot of things can’t be properly appreciated until they've been established three 
or even four years. —JameEs GouLD CozzENs, LAMBERTVILLE, N.J.
