Great Forcing Rose, __ een
CATHERINE MERMET.

hundred. GUSTAVE NADAUD.

undred.
New Tea Rose, MISS WENN.
_This charming variety is noticed at once for its ex- quisite color, which seems entirely distinct from almost all other Roses of our acquaintance. We can call it a clear coral-pink, a most nove: and distinct shade of color very difficult to describe. The French call it China pink. It is certainly a very beautiful color, and full and exquis- itely Tea scented. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen: $4 per hundred. :
Crimson Forcing Rose, METEOR.
A velvety red ever-bloomer, of the deepest glowing erimson. As fine as a Hybrid; flower of medium size, very double, and petals siightly recurving. A beautiful open Rose, a free bloomer and promising well as a pot Rose. It has no tinge of violet or purple to mar its beau- ty. It promises to be a reliable ever-bloomer, free from bad qualities. The best rich red Rose that was ever in- troduced for florists’ use. The usual demand for this forcing Rose has caused us to grow them in large quan- tity, and we offer them in two sizes. Nice, strong two-and- achall ich pots, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $4 per
undred.
New Tea Rose, MAMAN COCHET.
One of the best new Roses. The growth is vig- orous, with rich, healthy foliage.

The color is deep rose-pink. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.
New Tea Rose, J. B. VARRONE.
A fine grower, flowers very large and double, with high center, opening from long buds. Color a soft China rose, changing to bright, deep car- mine of even shading. An extra good Rose and j very sweet. Much superior to Luciole, which it greatly favors, but of a better growth and much freer in blooming qualities. A grand new Rose. j Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $4 per hun-
dred. Forcing Rose, THE BRIDE.
This is decidedly the most beautiful white Tea Rose. Itisa sport from Catharine Mermet, with which it is identical in growth and shape of flow- ers. The flowers are very large and double, on long, stiff stems, of fine texture and substance, and lasts a long time in a fresh state after being cut, making it one of the best varieties for corsage wear or bouquets. During extreme hot weather it becomes a pinkish-white, at other times a beau- tiful pure white. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.
New Tea Rose, GEN. ROBT. E. LEE.
(Introducer’s description.) This is the first Rose we have introduced, and we are sure it will please all who try it. It is in color an orange- yellow, after the color of La Capucine, only richer and better. Itisa good grower, has elegant, long buds, borne on long stems, and will produce more buds than any other Rose we know of. It forces easily, being at its best in mid-Winter. There is
no veriety that will compare with it in all the qualities that go to make up the ideal Rose. The color is so pecu- liar and rich that it attracts attention wherever seen. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.

Thepetals are large and each onsé widely bordered with bright crimson, which givesit avery striking and beautiful appear- ance. The flowers are large, very full, and highly perfumed. This is the Tulip Rose, se eslled because of the feathery shad- ing of bright rose around the edge of every petal, the body of the petal being creamy-white and of heavy texture. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.

The Yellow Rambler. The Fine New Climber, _.-.-_ —_——""~_
& & 2 Climbing White-Pet.
This is an unusually vigorous grower and a wonderfully profuse bloomer. It is re- markable for the rapidity ofits growth and freedom of bloom. Tne flowers are very double and full, of medium size, pure, snowy- white, and borne in large clusters, continu- ously throughont the whole season. Price, 50c per dozen; $3 per hundred.
The New Climbing Rose, @A@A
w& & w& Empress of China.
This is a new Climbing Rose of the great-
est excellence. It was brought to this country by a gentleman from China, who says of it that it commences to bloom in May, and is loaded withits elegant blooms until ie December. Think of it! There is no other : ; Rose like it that will bloom for so long a time. This has been the great cbjection to Climbing Roses, that they bloom once and then are done. But here we have a Rose that blooms continuously for over seven months of the year. Color shell-pink. It is perfectly hardy, andisa continuous grower. Price, 50c per dozen; $3 per hundred.
Grand New Velvety=Red Rose,
w & & CLIMBING METEOR.
All who know ‘“‘General Jack” will call to mind its beautiful, high colored, rich, velvety-red buds and flowers. Ciimbing Meteor is the acme of all red Climbing Roses. It is a free, persistent bloomer and will make a growth of from ten to fifteen feet in a season; in bloom all the time, as it is a true ever-bloomer. We do not hesitate to place it at the head of the list of all Roses for Summer blooming, as it will make a strong growth and literally loaded with its deep, rich, red flowers all the time. Its flowers are much larger than Meteor and are richerin color. It is just the
-Rose to train up the verandas or around windows where its great beauty will show up to good advantage. Price, 60c per dozen: $4 per hundred.
SESSOSOSOOSOOCOSO
See fink Rambler Aaa—
(Euphrosyne)—Originate by the same gentleman who produced White Rambler, Mr. Peter Lambert, end is of the same blood. What is said of White Rambler applies equal- ly to this, except the color of the flowers is pure shiny rose —the partially open buds being bright, light carmine, thus producing a strong and pleasing contrast. ‘Che numerous yellow stamens lend an additional charm tothe flower. In hardin-ss; freedom of bloom; form and color of flowers and vigorous climbing habit, this variety 1s) fully ;the equal of Crimson Rambler.” Price, 50c per dozen;:$4 per hundred. °
She Yellow Rambler
(Aglaia)—The advent of the Yellow Rambler marks a very important epoch in the Rose world. It was originat- ed by the prominent Rose grower, Mr. Peter Lambert, who has carefully tested it for some eight years, and first offered it to the public only this last season. Its production is a great triumph in the art of hybridizing. The Yellow Rambler has been found to successfully withstand, without protection, a continued temperature of from zero to two degrees below. The flowers are borne in immense clusters, after the same manner as the Crimson Rambler, often asmany as one hundred and fifty blossoms in a bunch, and the trusses have the same handsome pyramidal shape as those of the Crimson Rambler. The color is a decided yeliow. Many Roses which are described as yellow have really only a creamy tinge, but the Yellow Rambier is
Bes Goer ees : clear, decided yellow. . , Si
The flowers are very sweet-scented; habit of growth is very vigor- ous, well-established plants often making shoots of from eight to ten feetin height in a singleseason. The plants do not: bloom at quite so early anage<s the Crimson Rambler, but as soon as well es- tablished, they more than make up for this by the magnificence of the flowers they pro- duce. Price, 50c per doz.; $3 per hundred.
aN V> |
White Rambler.
(Thalia)—Of German origin, andin habit of growth, foliage,manner of blooming, form of flowers and hardiness, it is said to be identical with Crimson Rambler, of whichit is a blood relative, but that the flowers are pure snow white and sweetly scented, which the flow- ers of Crimson Rambler are not. The flowers “remain on the bush from three to _ five weeks; beautiful to be- hold.’ Price. 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hun- dred.

NEW ROSE
# Crimson Rambler.
This superb novelty is of the Polyantha class, and was originally received from J apan. The flowers are produced in great Pyramidal panicles or trusses, each carry- ing from thirty to forty blooms, the indi- vidual flower measuring about 1 to 1% inches in diameter and remaining perfect on the plant for upwards of two weeks with their freshness of color unimpaired. The foliage is bright green and glossy, and contrasts finely with the bright crimson of the flowers. Itis said to be exceedingly hardy, having successfully withstood the test in exposed situations of two very severe Wintersin England. We can rec- ommend this novelty in the strongest man- ner as being anew Rose of great import- ance and value. Price, 50c per dozen; $3 per hundred.
Forcing Rose BRIDESMAID.
Anew Rose. A sport from that old standard, Catherine Mermet. This variety retains all the good qualities of the parent, besides adding charms not possessed by the sweet Catherine. All know that Catherine Mermet takes precedence as a pink Rose. More plants of it are cultivated by the amateur and more cut blooms are sold by the flower dealer of it -
than any pink Rose. Why? Because the bud is of ss EY yP y ~
exquisite Shape and contour, so solid and firm, and the stems are so solid and stiff that no other Rose will ° compare with it in keeping qualities after being cut. It has, though, with all these good qualities, a serious de- fect, namely, ‘off color.’ Thisis more noticeable in dark, cloudy weather, butitistrueof the Rose at all times. Now, this is why the Bridesmaid will supersede the Mer- met. It is about two shades deeper in color, just enough to make it bright; anditisthe same color all the time under every condition of weather and surroundings. Price, strong two-and-a-half inch pots, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.

MANDA’S tives
The habit of these new Roses is the same as the Rosa Wichuriana, or Memorial Rose. The growth is creeping, and theretore can be used to cover ground, stems of trees, pillars, posts, trellises, or any other purpose desired, including pot culture. They are the hardiest Roses we know of and will stand any climate or exposure, and will thrive in the poorest soil or a gravel bank.

+ inches in diameter and sweetly scented. Price, 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.
Universal Favorite—(Manda.) Thisis the most vigorous plant of the set. The long branching shoots are covered with dense, bright green foliage. The double flowers are over two 4 inches in diameter, and a beautiful rose color, similar to the Bridesmaid, and deliciously fragrant. A grand variety for - any purpose. Price, 50c per dozen: $3 per hundred.
South Orange Perfection—(Manda.) Thisisa gem, grow- ing freely close to the ground, and haying multitudes of the most perfectly formed, double flowers, about one and a half inches in diameter, soft blush-pink at the tips, changing to white. It lasts along timein perfection. Price, 50 cents per dozen; $3 rer hundred.
Pink Roamer—(Manda.) Thisis withou% question a hy™ brid between the Sweetbrier, and carries these characteris tics in bloom, while the growth, which is very important» and the luxurious foliage, partake more of the Wichuriana. The single flowers, which are produced in close heads, are nearly two inches in diameter, bright, rich pink, with almost a white center, which lightens up the orange-red stamens. Price, 50c per dozen; $3 per hundred,
Henry M. Stanley.
McGregor Brothers, Wholesale Florists, Springfield, Ohio. 7
Leonie Osterrieth, or White Soupert.
We have given this Rose an extended trial and believe there is no better white Rose grown. The buds are of a good size,and flower full and double, and deliciously fragrant. Pure porcelain white, with deep center. In freedom of bloom this charming variety rivals the Polyanthas. Price, 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.
The Superb Blooming Rose,
Clothilde Soupert.
The Best Market Pot Rose.

This Rose is destined to take high rank asa pot Rose, for bed- ding purposes, and with the increased taste for Roses in clustered sprays, will be profitable as a cut flower. Nc other Rose approaches it in flowering qualities, not even the grand old Hermosa.
Price, 6c each: 50c per dozen $3 per hundred.
The Yellow ..,Soupert,
The Charming New Yellow Rose,
MOSELLA.
This splendid novelty is almost identical with that of the original Soupert, a cross of the Polyantha and the beautiful Tea Rose, Madame Faicot. It blooms in profuse clusters of three to five flowers, which are very double, ball shaped and open like a Camellia flower. The petals are tinted white, on
beautiful light yellow ground extending to the middle of the
petals. The plant is dwarf, bushy and free blooming. Of,
fered for the first time this year. It issure to be a popular
companion to the original Clothilde Soupert. Price, 6 cents
each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.
White Hermosa,
Clothitde Soupert.
The Beautiful Pink Soupert.
This bright new Rose is a very free flowering variety, much resembling Hermosa, but more double and flowering more freely ; it shows the Polyantha blood in the full cluster of bloom, and it will make a handsome contrast, bedded or grown with the C. Soupert The flowers are not quite so large, full and handsome as our original Soupert, but fill a place because of their brightness and freedom. The habit of the plant is almost identical with C. Soupert. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.
Tea Rose, Sunset.

The color is a re- markable shade of rich golden amber, elegantly tinged and shaded with dark, ruddy copper, intensely beautiful and re- sembling in color a splendid ‘after glow.’ Price, 8 cents each; 60 cents per dozen; $5 per hundred.
New Tea Rose, The Queen.

Pure white. It has been called the White Hermosa, asit resmbles Hermosa in form and freedom of bloom, and is quite as valuable; for, though no claim has been made for it asafancy Rose,its persistence in bloom will make it a very popular white variety for bedding or for pots. This Rose is fast becoming popular, as there is no better white Rose. Itis the finest blooming white Rose we offer. Price, 6 cents each: 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.

Pernet’s Triumph.
THE BEAUTIFUL NEW ROSE,
PERNET’S TRIUMPH.
THE FINEST ALL-ROUND CRIMSON ROSE TO DATE.
Originated and sent out by Jean Pernet, one of the most celebrated Rose growers of France, who has already given us some very beautiful Roses, but considers this the triumph of his life (the name translated would read ‘‘Triumph of Father Pernet’’), and besides his endorsement it has received the commendation of the highest European authorities, and as far as we can judgeitis well worthy of them, and promises to be one of the very finest of the Hybrid Tea class. The flowers are extra large, having broad, thick petals and long, tapering buds, with delicious Tea fragrance. Color a fine, clear, magenta-red, sometimes passing to a bright crimson. Very striking and beautiful, and of such good substance that the flowers retain their beauty for a long time. Price, 60 cents per dozen; $4 per hundred.
TFA PS" CHAS. LEGRADY
This splendid Rose has proven one of the most satisfac- tory for general planting. Here on our own grounds a bed of it always makes a grand display all Summer long. Mag- nificent, large buds, and flowers of great beauty. Color fine chamois-red, richly shaded with darkest crimson. This rich, unique coloring is one of its marked characteristics, and stamps it with a distinctive charm. The outer petals are frandly recurved, forming an excellent contrast to the Camellia-like inner petals. For smoothness, richness and finish this Rose is without arival. Price, 50 cents per dozen; $3.00 per hundred.
SENATOR M°NAUGHTON. (WHITE PERLE DES JARDINS.)
This fine white Rose originated with Mr. Jos. Bevis, of Philadelphia, as a sport from Perle, and is a grand variety. In foliage and growth it is identical with Perle; the flowers are of the same form and size, while the color is an ivory- white of great purity. This variety will prove invaluable to Rose growers, for it is of the same easy management as Perle,
| requiring the same temperature and treatment; andif there
is a difference in freedom of bloom it is in favor of Senator McNaughton. Price, 60 cents ner dozen; $4.00 ner hundred.
SUPERB NEW SCARLET ROSE
CLIMBING WOOTON.
This elegant new Climbing Hybrid Tea Rose is one which promises to be a prime favorite wherever introduced. Everything good that can be said of the grand Rose, Souvenir de Wooton, can be said of this Rose, and more too. The
flowers are large and of a beautiful velvety-red color, and-
the perfume is elegant. Whether open, half open or in bud, the flowers are of fine shape. The flowers are borne at the terminus of long shoots, which render them especially good for cutting, much better, in fact, than the flowers of its parent, Souvenir de Wooton.
There is always a demand for a good, hardy Climbing Tea, inasmuch as there are exceedingly few to be had. This Rose we believe to possess a very considerable degree of har- diness, and should, with protection, stand the Winter almost anywhere. We consider this one of the best new Roses in- troduced for years, and as it can be planted out doors or in, doing equally well in either place, there is no question but that it will soon become immensély popular. Order a good plant now, so as to have the first one in your neighborhood. Price, 50 cents per dozen: $3.00 per hundred.
a
Marie Van Houtte.
Of a fine, faultless, Straw- yellow color, with the outer petais washed and outlined with a bright rosy-crimson ; occasionally the whole flower will be suffused with light pink. It grows vigorously, blooms profusely, and is most deliciously scented; in e.ol weather it almost changes color, taking on gor- geous crimson tints. A beautiful and superb Rose. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.
ee
Madame Welche.
An extra fine variety, very / large, double and of beauti- ful rounded form, a soft, pale yellow, sometimes cream, with short, inner petals of glowing orange and copper. Not to be forgotten if once seen. Price, 214 inch pots, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen;

10 McGregor Brothers, Wholesale Florists, Springfield, Ohio. | MLLE. FRANCISKA KRUGER.
The striking color of this handsome Rose places it at once in the front as a bud producer in the open air. It is closely allied to Catherine Mermet, and resembles it in everything save color. In its shading of deep coppery-yellow 1t stands unique and distinct from all others. The flower when open is of good size and very symmetrical. One of the finest Roses to plant in masses and clumps. Price, 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.
DUCHESS DE BRABANT.
A bright China Rose, with coppery-yellow center, ends of petals suffused with carmine, A charming, beautiful combination of coloring, as each color blends nicely with the other.

The Charming Yellow Tea Rose, ISABELLA SPRUNT.
