The above is a photograph of a plant of the Ponderosa Lemon taken Oct. Ist. 1900. On April

15th this plant was entirely leafless and shows what a remarkable free growing and free fruiting
jemon Ponderosa is. Read what the lady says about this plant who grew it and from whom we
purchased it.

THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY. No. 30 Antietam St. Hagerstown Maryland.

I received your letter yesterday and was very glad to hear that the Lemon Tree gave
such perfect satisfaction. 1 assure you we still miss the tree as every one thought it a beauty.
I cannot say where the Lemon Tree came from, I have had it for several years and the friend
who gave it to me could not tell how it originated. It was very easy to keep, for after it ripen-
ed its fruit in thefall 1 placed it in my cellar which is very bright, having two windows init. The
spring before you bought the tree from me it had a few buds on when I! brought it out of the
cellar, I set it in the yard in the open air and in June it was a beautiful sight in full bloom, and
it was in full bloom from that time until you bought it. All those large lemons grew on it after
I brought it from the cellar. I can say of this Lemon that it is grand and no one ever saw any-
thing like it and any one may be proud to have it. ELIZABETH HAGERMAN,

Ponderosa #

The Ever-Bearing Lemon.

It is a true ever-bearing variety. On a plant six feet
high no less than eighty-nine of these ponderous Lemons were
growing at one time. It was a beautiful sight to see. The
tree was blooming and at the same time had fruit in all stages
of development, from the size of a pea up to the ripe fruit,
showing it to be a true ever-bearer. It blooms and bears fruit
when quite small and you do not have to wait 4 or 5 years to
get fruit.

PONDEROS Fruit has been taken

. from this tree weighing

Its Ponderous Size.# 0ve! four pounds. The

lemons will average two

and one-half to three pounds. Now this may seem to you like

a fairy tale but it is a fact that this is the largest lemon known.

There is a lemon sold by nurserymen that goes under the name

of Large Lemon, but Ponderosa is distinct from that
variety. :

The fruit of Ponderosa is twice the size of the so called
Large Lemon. The Large Lemon is not to be compared to
Ponderosa in prolific fruitage. Ponderosa will produce 5 lem-
ons or more to its one.

NEW JAPANESE RAMBLER ROSES

Rose growers everywhere will hail with delight the announcement that I have to offer them as compans=
ious to the famous Crimson Rambler three other distinct colors of Rambler roses. They are all hardy,
and the most charming of all climbing roses. There is no rose of any class or kind that will compare
with Crimson Rambler for beauty ifiatty respect. Itisa gem. = = rm m = és =
THE FOUR RAMBLER ROSES, ALL DIFFERENT COLORS, SENT FOR ONLY 35 CENTS,
TWO-YEAR-OLD PLANTS, THE FOUR FOR 1.35.

SEE FRONT OF COVER FOR RAMBLER ROSES IN COLORS.

LARGE

New Yellow Rambler, Aglaia.—Rosarians have been for
many years crossing or hybridizing various Roses with a view to
obtaining a hardy yellow climbing Rose, but the combination
of climbing habit and yoo coloring with hardiness was one
that it seemed impossible to obtain, and was almost despaired
of. The Yellow Rambler has been found to successfully with-
stand, without RL a continued temperature of from zero
to two degrees below, which proves it to be far hardier than
any other yellow climbing Rose yet introduced, and I believe
that by laying the plants down in the Winter it can be success-
fully grown in nearly all the northern parts of the United States;
in fact, anywhere that other Roses succeed at allwell. DidI
say nothing more about the Rose,I think that this would be
sufficient to establish its value, for what lover of Rosesin the
North has not bewailed the severity of climate which nearly de-

rives his garden of the most attractive color of all—yellow.

he flowers are borne in immense clusters, after the same man-
ner as the Crimson Rambler, often as many as one hundred and
fifty blossoms in a bunch, and the trusses have the same hand-
some pyramidal shape as those of Crimson Rambler. The color
is a decided yellow. 10 cents each; large two-year-old
plants, 40 cents each.

CAUTION.—There are other so-called Vellow Ramblers that do
not possess any features that would entitle them to be coupled with
the Rambler family, lacking hardiness, vigor of growth, and the
habit of blooming in trusses like Crimson Rambler; therefore, do
not accept any unless zt ts Lambert’s Yellow Rambler. Do
not miss getting this beautiful new Rose. It zs one of the greatest
novellzes of the year.

New Pink Rambler, Euphrosyte.—The pink Rambler com-
pletes the entire range of cardinal colors that can be embraced
in these beautiful climbing Roses. I now have the Crimson
' Rambler, the Yellow Rambler, the White Rambler, and the

Pink Rambler. This Rose is as charming as any of its rivals,
cmbmcig ell their good qualities of hardiness, vigorous growth,
profuse blooming and delightful fragrance. Be sure and have
a set of the Rambler Roses. 10 cemts each; large two-
year-old plants, 40 cents each.

New Crimson Rambler.—The plant is of very vigorous growth,
making shoots from eight to ten feet in length during the season,
rendering ita charming pillar Rose. It is also magnificent in
bush form, and for covering buildings, trellises, etc., it cannot
be excelled. The flowers are produced in great pyramidal pan-
icles, or trusses, each carrying from thirty to forty blooms, the
individual flowers measuring about one to one and a halfinches
in diameter. Itis covered with flowers from the ground to its »
very top. Itis hardy in every latitude yet tried as far north as
thelakes. As a decorative pot plant it cannot be excelled. I
can recommend this novelty in the strongest manner as being a
new Rose of great importance and value. A correspondent of
the !Zoxdon Garden writes in the issue of July 14, 1894: “* With
me at this date (July 6) this Roseisgrand. I havea dozenlarge
plants on prepared land or turf. I did not prune much, merely
shortening back and placing stakes to support the long growths.
I gave a liberal mulch early in the Spring, with the result that
the growths are very strong, and the clusters of bright crimson
flowers at this date are beautiful. On one shoot alone I counted
over three hundred blooms.” 10 cents each; large two-
year-old plants, 40 cents each. i

New White Rambler, Thalia.—This charming new Rose of.
the Rambler variety isa wonder. It climbs rapidly, is entirely
hardy, produces immense clusters of pure white Roses, perfectly
double, of delightful fragrance, and of an immaculate whiteness.
It is without question the best climbing Roseextant. 10 cents
each; large two-year-old plants, 40 cemts each.

This isa gramd collection of plants suitable to plamt outdoors or for pot culture for the house.
The entire set often plants mailed to any address for 75 cents. Buy a Surprise Collection, and

Pink Rose, Bridesmaid.—All know that Bridesmaid takes
peceedence as a pink Rose. More plants of it are cultivated

y the amateur, and more cut bloom is sold by the flower
dealer of it than any pink Rose. Why? Because the bud
is of exquisite shape and contour, so solid and firm, and the
stems are so long and stiff that no other Rose will compare with
it in keeping qualities after being cut.

_ White Rose, The Bride, or White Mertmet.—The best pure
ivory white Tea Rose. A fine bunch of these buds, cut with long
sprays of foliage, would grace any bridein her wedding robes.
It is unsurpassed for purity of whitenessand forform and size. It
“‘pinks”’ in the bright, hot weather of mid-Summer when plant-
ed out of doors.

Red Rose, Meteor.—A velvety-red ever-bloomer of the deep-
est glowing crimson, as fine as a Hybrid. Flowers of medium
size. very double and elie at rceunv ines This is unquestionably
the best dark, velvety red Rose yet produced. Grand, both in
bud and in flower.

Pink Chrysanthemum, Indiatia.—This variety produces
the largest blooms to be found in the family, with one or two
exceptions, perhaps. It is very nearly globular in form, and
has a circumference of twenty-two inches, nicely incurved, and
ofa clear, bright pink, outside of petals a little lighter.

Yellow Chrysanthemum, Golden’ Wedding.—The grand-
est yellow ever offered. This fine variety swept everything be
fore it at the New York and Philadelphia shows. In color it is
deep, bright golden, of shining texture, is very large in size, the
petals are both long and broad, and channeled lengthwise.

_ Fuchsia, Black Pritice.—I have seen a plant of this Fuchsia
six feet high and five feet through, and by actual count it was
loaded with over five thousand of its bright blooms. It was an
object of beauty not soon forgotten. It is ofthe easiest culture
requiring the same treatment as other Fuchsias. No plant wi
attract more attention than a well grown specimen of Fuchsia
Black Prince. Its clusters of long, drooping, tube-like, brilliant

flowers, and very large, green foliage, give it a most striking
and beautiful appearance.

Otaheite Orange.—As a pot plant this lovely dwarf Orange is
one of the most novel and beautiful that can be grown. With
a couple of plants of it you can have an abundance of the far-
famed delicate and fragrant Orange blossoms. J have growna
large stock of clean, vigorous plants that will bloom and fruit
at once, of this beautiful Orange, and commend it to my friends
as a novelty of sterling worth and merit.

Sattseviera Zeylatiica.—A new decorative plant of great
beauty and value. NN beautiful plant, splendidly adapted for the
decoration of drawing roomsor halls, asit stands drouth and dust
With impunity, and requires scarcely any water. The leaves
grow to a length of three or four feet, and are beautifully striped
crosswise, with broad, white variegations on a dark green
ground. A rare and beautiful plant which should be abund-
antly grown for positions out of the reach of sunlight, where
other plants will not thrive. When you consider that it can be
placed in any position in any room and do well, its great useful-
ness is at once apparent.

Hibiscus, Sittetisis Gigatiteus.—Its flowers are of enor-
mous size, often eight to ten inches across, opening flat, and
of such a vivid crimson scarlet color that they can be seen for a
long distance, likea flaming torch. Itis hard to find anything,
among flowers more strikingly showy. They can be wintere
in a cellar or pi with perfect safety, and if one does not care to

row them all Winter, one should have one or two for Summer
isplay. No plantis surer to grow and thrive under any treat-
ment than this, and few can ever be s0 Satisfactory.

Pink Carnation, Abutidance.—Flowers very large and per-
fect in form. Colora bright, rosy pink, with salmon shading
when the flower is fully expanded. A very healthy grower and
remarkably free bloomer. Plant dwarf, growing about fourteen
inches high. This I consider one of the best pink varieties ever
offered, and an excellent variety for pot culture.

New Climbing Moss Rose, « CUMBERLAND BELLE.’?

This is the forerunner of a new race of Roses, a grand, true
loss 1 It is of American origin, having been
found growing in a private garden in the historic Cumberland

climbing Moss Rose.

Valley—a sport from that pretty Moss Rose Princess Adelaide

itself a strong, vigorous grower, which is wonderfully developed

in the offspring, the original sport the first season having at-
tained a height of over fifteen feet and had one hundred and
eighteen buds and flowers on it atone time. The past season,
planted side by side with Crimson Rambler and other rampant
growers, it fully equaled them in vigor of growth. In coloritis
identical with the parent, a bright silvery rose, very double, the
buds nicely mossed and exquisitely fragrant. 25 cemts cach»

ASPARAGUS SPRENGERI—The Emerald
Feather,

ASPARAGUS SPRENGERI,

A most desirable new species, especially useful to grow as a
pot plant for decorative purposes, or for planting im suspended
baskets. The frondsare frequently four feet long, of a rich
shade of green, and mostuseful for cutting, retaining their fresh-
mess for weeks after being cut. It will make an excellent house
plant, asit withstands dry atmosphere, and will succeed in al-
most any situation. 8 cents each.

ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS NANUS, The Climb-
ing Lace Fern.

This graceful climber has, to a great extent, taken the
place of the once popular Smilax in all fine decorations. It pos-
sesses the advantage of being much more graceful—its foliage
being finer than that of the most delicate Fern—and will last for
weeks after being cut, the whole plant being of a bright, cheer-
ful green. It is.an excellent house plant, succeeding under al-
Most any condition. 10 cents each for fine plants.

AGERATUM PRINCESS PAULINE.

A novel new variety of dwarf. compact habit rarely exceeding
eight inches in height. Its peculiarity consists of both blue and
white being combined in the same flower, the body ofthe flower
being white while the stamens forming a1 outer ring are sky
blue, giving the flower a pretty variegated appearance. 5
eents eaeh.

New Ageratum, STELLA GURNEY.

| It is a decided improvement in color, being the deepest blue
yet introduced, and is exceptionally free flowering, not only in
Summer, but the year round. Ageratums are useful for borders
also for baskets and vases. These two varieties are grand. 10
cents each.

ACALYPHA SANDERII,

ACALYPHA SANDER®I-

Acalypha Sanderii.—This plant goes under yarious names,
such as™'Chenille Plant,” “Philippine Medusa,” ‘‘Comet Plant,”
‘ Dewey’s Favorite Flower,” ‘Bloody Cat Tail,’’ ete. Without
doubt the most sensational new plant introduced for many
years, and one of the most striking flowering ornamental plants
we have eyer seen. It is of strong, free growth, with large,
dark green leaves, from each axil of which rope-like spikes,
from one to two feet long and nearly one inch thick, are
gracefully suspended, asshown in my illustration, which con-
veys but a faint idea of the beauty and distinct warm coloring
of this splendid acquisition. But the remarkable floriferous-
ness and the great size of the.spikes of flowers (compared to
the plant) are fairly well shown. The plant °s in flowerthey ear
round, and is as easily grown as a Coleus. simply requiring a
warm temperature to develop its full beauty. Kime plants,
12 cents each.

Acalypha Triumphans.—This is a very ornamental bed-
ding plant. the foliage being bronze, crimson and green. Very
beautiful. Grows rapidly. 8 cents each.

Acalypha Margittata —A charming variety Deep green foli-
age. with a distinct margin on the edge of each leaf of bright
pink. Lovely. 8 cemts each.

These are the little dwarf red and yellow plants that only
crow a few inches high and are used to make letters, designs or
horders for beds I offer two kinds, red and yellow. 5 cents
each; 50 cents per dozen; by express, $3.50 per hun-
dred.

Fine blooming bulbs, 50 cents. Cheap at this price.

Amaryllis, Belladonna Major.—One of the most lovely
flowers imaginable. It throws up strong stalks, which support
immense panicles of lovely shell pink flowers with aclear, white
throat. It has the largest bulbs of any ofthe Amaryllis. 50
cents each for fine extra large bulbs to bloom at once.

Amaryllis, Formosissima. — (Jacobean Lily.) This grand
bulb will flower either Summer or Winter. Keep dry during
Summer for Winter blooming, and reverse the order for Suim-
mer bedding. The flowers are of the darkest scarlet, yery rich
and pure, and produced freely. Strong, blooming bulbs,

Amaryllis, Johnsonii.—One of the most gorgeous bulbous
plants grown. We have seen specimens of a few years’ growth
that completely filled a window. Nothing is more showy than
this grand plant during late Winter or early Spring, bearing
large flowers of intense crimson, with a delicate white feather in
each petal. It is most superb. Strong bulbs to bloom at
once, 50 cents.

ARAUCARIA EXCELSA, JVorv/olk Island Pine.

The Loveliest of Climbing Vines,

THE MOUNTAIN BEAUTY, ANTIGONON
LEPTOPUS.

Rosa de Motitana.—This beautiful climbing vine might well
be called the carmine Wistaria, so similar are the lovely clusters
of flowers to those of Wistaria. Apart from the similarity of
flowers, it differs from the 6 ~~) 2
Wistaria in many ways. It ws
is a native of Mexico. We
believe it to be one of the Z&
most beautiful, as well as
one of the rarest climbers
in existence. Mountain
Beauty is hardy in the
South, and, once pianted,
is practically everlasting.
It produces immense clus- A
ters of the most exquisite
flowers imaginable. The 4%
flowers are bore in prodig-
ious profusion, and a well-
established plant, loaded 4
with its gorgeous carmine
flowers. is one ofthe grand-
est sights we have ever
seen. Imagine a plant of
Ampelopsis Veitehii with
its magnificent, large, deep
green foliage covering the
entire veranda, loaded
down with large clusters of
carmine flowers, and you
can form an idea of the
splendor of Mountain
Beauty. Thisis really a wonderful vine, which will excite the
admiration of ihe amateur planter. It is one of our grandest
introductions. sure to become immensely popular because of iis
handsome foliage and its superb. brilliant fowers. Price is low
for strong plants. Thisis one of the plants you will be sorry to
have missed getting when you see it growing and blooming. By
all means take my advice and include several plants at least in
your order. It is a bulbous plant dying down each year. The
plants:I will send you are dormant, that is, bulbs without fo-
liage. like a Dahlia. 8 cents each. :

BASKET PLANTS.

I have a great many calls for plants suitable for baskets and
vases I grow these plants in large quantities and can furnish
them at 5 cents each, or twelve distinct plants for 50
cents. These will make a nice basket.

THE MOUNTAIN BEAUTY.

BOUGAINVILLEA SANDERIANA.
(The Chinese Paper Plant.)

This beautiful free flowering plant was introduced recently
and on account ofits free blooming qualities has become very
popular, especially as a plant for Easter decoration. It is

mid-Summer In fact, a well grown specimen will frequently
flower the greater part of the year. Altogether a most de-

DEAUTIFUL FERNS.

The popularity of Ferns has increased wonderfully in the past
few years, and they are now indispensable in all: choice floral
decorations, and are especially valuable for ferneries, for room
en Diable decorations. No collection-of plants is complete with-
out Ferns.

Nephrolepis Exaitata Bostoniensis.—In the vicinity of
Boston no other plant 1s used so extensively as this graceful
Nephrolepis, which differs from the ordinary Sword Fern in
having much longer fronds, which frequently attain a length of
six feet. These arch and droop over very gracefully, on ac-
count of which itis frequently called the Fountain Fern. This
drooping habit makes it an excellent plant to grow as asingle
specimen on a table or pedestal. Good plants, 15 cents each;
strong plants, 35 cents each.

eyecare Scatidens.—(The Japanese Climbing Fern.) This
makes a growth of from eight to fifteen feet, and isa very grace-
ful, dainty and desirable variety. 15 cents each.

Adiatitum Cuneatum. — (Mazdenhair Fern.) This is the
beautiful Maidenhair Fern which the florists employ in so
many ways, elther as pot plants or cut fronds. It is very light,
airy and graceful. Don't confound it with the old common
Maidenhair Fern. 20 cents each.

_ Neplirolepis Comipacta Cordata.—(New Sword Fern.) It
is of a tree, Strong growing, compact habit, attaining, when full
grown, a height of about two feet. The fronds are of a dark
green color, very rich, of upright growth, with just sufficient
arch in them to make them graceful. For house culture or for
window gardening. I don't know of any other variety that
would give the same satisfaction, and which I could recommend
sohighly. 15 cents each.

Davallia Stricta.—One of the finest Ferns in cultivation,
whether for growing as a decorative plant in the room or plant-
ing out. The fronds are of strong texture. very fine and deli-
cate, 20 cents each.

Pteris Tremtula.—(Sheking Fern.) The slightest movement
of the air Shakes the leaves of this Fern. which we recommend
as being very desirable for house culture. It grows readily and
very fast. 20 cents each.

Pteris Argyrea.—( The Silver Fern.) A very showy Fern.
With light green fronds. with a broad band of silver white down
the center of each. Very distinct and beautiful. 20 cents
each.

THE WONDERFUL JAPANESE FERN BALLS.

FERN BALL,

_ This novelty from Japan we take great pleasure in introduc-
ing as one of the most satisfactory house Ferns ever offered. One
was started Jast January, and its beautiful leaves and color at-
tracted the attention ofall who saw it until August, when it was

laced in the cellar to rest. The center is moss covered with

ern roots in a very ingenious manner, looking like a ball of
small roots twisted together. After watering, they start into
life, and in a short time are covered with a mass Of beautiful
green foliage. If desired they may be allowed to dry up, which
is very convenient when a person goes on a Summer vacation.
They may be started again by simply wateringas before. When
growing they should be watered two or three times each week.
If desired they may be cut in halves and placed ina Fern dish.
The ball, before it is started, is six to ten inches in diameter.
We only handle the ‘“\Wagaha” long leayed yariety, the com-
mon variety only produces short fronds, 75 centseach. Can
only be sent by express.

like a correct idea of
the great beauty of
this new ornamental

habit of growth is al-
most precisely like
the Canna, and it
grows from a tuber,

The Canna-like

impossible to find
two leaves exactly alike. In some leaves the whole area is pure
white or rich cream color, in others only one-third or one half,
in others again it isreduced to a few stripes or faint lines—and
all of these variegations in one plant. It is very free-growing,
and one of the most ornamental plants imaginable, either for
pot culture or for bedding out. It is a grand plant to border
Canna beds with, standing the full force of the sun’srays. In-
deed, the fiercer the sunshine the more perfect are the yvariega-

«Tt is with positive pride
that we introduce this new
white Rose to our friends.
itis a strong, vigorous grow-
er, making handsome bush-
es. The buds and flowers
_ are of the very largest size,
pure white in color, so full
and double and perfect in
shape as to resemble a Ca-
mellia flower. The fra-
grance is delicious. There
is nething among white Ro-
ses to compare it to. It is
by far the grandest of all
white Rosey This we say
without any hesitancy. Itisa
true ever-bloomer, belong-
ing tothe Tea Rose family.
It was eminently fitting that
wenamed this Rose in honor
of the hallowed memory of
the grandest of all women,
Frances E. Willard, the
great apostle of Temperance
and Purity, the white Rose
being the emblem of the so-
ciety (W. C. T. U.) for which
she gave her life. We are

NEW ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT—Continued.

Mouthly Cabbage, a Grand Hardy Rose.—I doubt if there
is one person 10 a thousand that was raised in the rural districts
or in the small towns back in the fifties or sixties that does not
remember the old Cabbage Rose of our mothers’ and grand-
mothers’ ponders. They could hardly keep house without one
or more of this favorite Rose planted in theiryards. When they
moved, these plants were carefully dug up and transported with
their other effects. They could not think of leaving behind
their favorite Rose, that gave them so much real pleasure. The
old-fashioned Cabbage Rose bloomed but once a year, in June.
The Monthly Cabbage Rose is a continuous bloomer all through
the Summer. The colorisa bright pink, lovely both in budand
open flower, both being large and double to the center. The
fragrance is a true damask scent, and is simply delicious A
grand Rose. 15 cemts each; large two-year-old plants,
50 cents each.

Marquis Litta.—This is a new French forcing Rose. and is
by all oddsthe very best new Rose that has been introduced in
years. Itresemblesin color American Beauty. Buds and flow-
ers of the largest size. It1s astrong, vigorous grower. producing
its handsome buds and flowers on long stems. It forces equal
to Bride or Bridesmaid. Neyer comes “off color” or with mis-
shaped buds. This is the nearest approach to the ideal forcing
Rose Don't fail to try this grand variety. 20 cemts each;
larg¢ two-year-old plants, 50 cents each.

Psyche, the New Rambler Rose.—Received the award of
merit of the Royal Horticultural Society of England. A cross
between Crimson Rambler and the Polyantha Rose, Golden
Fairy. In growthand habit it much resembles Crimson Ram-
bler. The flowers are produced in clusters of eight to thirty-five
and are two to twoanda half inchesacross when fully ex panded.
The color is white. suffused with salmon rose and pink, with
yellow base to the petals. A real companion to Crimson Ram-
bler. The horticultural press of England givesit very flattering
comment as described at the various exhibitions. 20 cents
each; large two-year-old plants, 60 cents each.

Oueen Olga of Greece.—This Rose comes to me very highly
praised. So far I have failed to detect what these merits are.
{ may improve with a longer acquaintance. The color is light
pink. 15 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 40
cents each.

Sunrise.—The most gorgeous Rose of its class yetintroduced.
This has made a sensation in England and taken first honors
wherevershown In close bud form it shows the high. brilliant
colors seen only in the Austrian copper, scarlet and yellow. As
it opens the color deepens, the scarlet turning darker red, the
yellow to orange and copper. the inside of the petals golden yel-

ow. The open Rose is large, Perlectly: double and of grand
form. The foliage is glossy and thick, the new growths being
the darkest and most beautiful found among Roses. The form
and color of bud, its freedom of growth and bloom will give
Sunrise a high place among forcing Roses. A novelty is ear-
nestly wished for by cut flower growers. and here isa novelty of
the highest quality. 25 cemts each; large two-year-old
plants, 60 cents each.

Mrs. Mawley.—This grand variety embodies so many good
qualities that 1t is difficult to deseribe it. I could say no more
in its praise than to say it is like Maman Cochet, only several
Shades lighter in color. 15 cemts each; large two-year=
old plants, 40 cents each.

Enfant de Lyon, The Sweet Attise Rose.—This is a strong-
Sromine ore. producing light pink flowers with shades of cop-
pery yellow and has a distinct Sweet Anise fragrance that is ex-

uisite. I know ofno Rose more sweet. The peculiar Sweet

nise fragrance is confined to this Rose alone. It is much ad-
mired, 10 cemts each; large, two-year-old plants, 50
cents each. :

L’7Intocence.—This great Rose was awarded the gold medal
atthe Lyons (France) exhibition. It may be called the White
Madame Caroline Testout. of which itis an offspring. Flowers
large, full deep and double, globular in form. Color bright
snowy white. Indoors or outdoors this is a superb Rose. 15

cents each; large, two-year-old plants, 50 cents each.

Corowet.—This is the sweetest, largest, and freest blooming

Hybrid Tea Rose in cultivation.. Itis a cross between that su-

perb variety, Paul Neyron, and Bon Silene, two grand old fa-
yorites. Coronet is a true ever-blooming Hybrid Tea, identical in

_ form and size with Paul Neyron. Nodescription or illustration

can do justice to the remarkable beauty and splendor of its
flowers. They are grand in every way. From the time the plant
is four inches high it blooms steadily, bearing in unbroken con-
tinuity, on good, stiffstems, magnificent large flowers that fre-
quently measure from four to six inchesin diameter. The form
is full, deep and wonderfully double. Itis full to the center, and
when entirely open the flowers do not look unlike Peonies.
This resemblance is made all the more striking by the peculiar
color which isabsolutely unlike any Rose I know. In the bud
the color is a deep, rich carmine, which, as the flowers open,
lightens to a soft, clear pink, with each petal distinctly edged
with silyery gray. The effect is beautiful. The fragrance is
simply delicious. In flower and foliage it resembles Paul Ney-
ron, while in yigor of growth the Bon Silene blood isshown. It
is a strong, healthy grower, forming a compact bush, In the
open ground, where itis hardy, it does splendidly, commencing
early in the season and continuing until severe freezing weath-
er. Slight protection during Winter will be beneficial. Probab-

__ ly the most valuable and satisfactory Rose for general cultiva-
tion sent out for many years.

NEW ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT—Continued.

Ferdinand Jamain.—A strong, vigorous grower and fr
bloomer, of the Hybrid Tea class, lowers etees eal and SIRE
lar. Color rosy carmine, shaded with salmon. It reminds one
of a halo of glory. Very beautiful. 15 cents each; large
two-year-old plants, 50 cemts each, a

Lottie Bumgardter.—What theintroducer says: “Thisisa
new Rose sent us by one of our customers in Florida. She
says itis peculiarly adapted to cultivation in the sandy soil and
hot climate of thatstate. It originated with her and she recom-
mendsit so highly that we have grown a stock and named it for
her. The color is a brilliant carmine. shading to silvery peach.
Very delicate and beautiful.” 15 cemts each; large two
year-old plants, 40 cents each.

Climbing Paul Neyron.—(Madame Wagram ) Paul Neyron
has alwas been known as the largest Rose extant. In Climbing
Paul Neyron we have this large size, coupled with its bright,
fresh pink color, that no Rose excels. And it is also a true per-
perpetual bloomer. The freest ofallthe climbers This Rose is
awonder. Besure and try it. 15 cemts each; large two-=
year-old plants, 40 cents each.

Highland Mary.—This lovely Rose originated in Canada,
and claims Agrippina forits parent. It is a persistent bloomer.
both Summer and Winter. Flowers large and sweet. blossoms
beautifully cupped. each petal being white with a delicatelemon
tint, and broadly bordered with a delicate band of pink. Truly

fascinating. 15 cemts each; large two-year-old plants,

40 cents each.

Gardenia.—A novelty which must not be confused with
Manda’s Hybrid Wichuraiana. This is one of the prettiest and
daintiest of garden Teas. It is fine in foliage: very free in bloom.
Its buds are slender and pointed, as they open showing a flesh
pink center surrounded by snowy white. The open flower re-
curves its petals, which are of heavy texture, and its formis like
a Cape Jasmine, henceitsname. The open flower is the pure-
est paper white. A free grower and very free in bloom. 15
cents each; large two-year-old plants, 50 cents each.

Admiral Dewey.—This Rose is a sport from the grand ya-
riety Madame Caroline Testout. Identical with it except in
color, which is a light silvery pink. Weare much pleased with
this Rose. 15 cents each; large two-year-old plants,
50 cents each.

Silver King.—This new Rose isa beauty indeed. In fact. to
see a bed of it in bloom is absolutely startling. they are so grand
and beautiful. The bud and flower are of the largest size when
fully expanded, cup shaped, full, and double. but the petals so
arranged as tonot crowd one another. The color isa clear shell
pink, so exquisite as to resemble the delicate soft pink seen in
deep seashells. It is very fragrant. A true everbloomer and
hardy everywhere. This is the grandest of all light pink Roses.
Be sure and try this Rose. 15 cemts each; large two-year=
old plants, £0 cents each.

Lady Dorothea.—This Rose was raised by Mr. John Dunlop.
of Toronto, Canada, and introduced by him last year. Itisa
grand high colored Rose, resembling Sunset, but twice the size
of that grand variety; has the colors of a beautiful sunset. Wilk
not disappoint you. 15 cemts each; large two-year-old
plants, 50 cents each. i

The Grand New Rose, ‘‘ Liberty.”—Never hasnature yielded
to the painstaking hybridist and plant raiser a more beautiful
or more satisfying color than that seen in the new Hybrid Tea
Rose ‘‘ Liberty,’’ which today markes the limit of glorious deep,
yet bright coloration in a family by no means deficient in warm,
rich hues of crimson red. Eyenas the ruby flashings of gener-
ous wine have been an inspiration to verse writers for ages, so
are we now fired to enthusiasm when contemplating the rich,
liquid ruby hue of ‘‘ Liberty.” Most nearly approached by
Meteor in color, this newcomer surpasses that standard variety
in purity, being without the tendency to blacken that Meteor
exhibits, and also the blue cast sometimes seen on fully ex-
panded petals of Meteor has not been detected in any degree
whatever upon a single one of many critically examined blos-
soms of ‘‘Liberty.”” To the practical grower, too, this novelty
will surely appeal because of the greater ease of cultivation, in
thatit does not exact a temperature in excess of that generally
accorded to other Roses when grown under glass. There can be
little doubt but that ‘‘ Liberty” is destined to rapidly become
the one dark flowered Rose for both commercial and private
uses. 20 cemts each; large two-year-old plants, 60
cents each.

President Cleveland.—(Or Climbing Marie Guiliot.). Origi-
nated in Houston, Texas, and I offered it the first time last year
under the name of Climbing Marie Guillot. Ihave since learned
that the Rose is known in Texas as President Cleveland, and to
avoid confusion in names I have named it President Cleve-
land. Itisa cross between Marie Guillot and Devoniensis. We
place a high value upon its worth, because itis the offspring of
one of the most yaluable and famous Tea Roses for open ground
cultivation. The flowers are magnificently made, extra large,
deep and double. The buds are particulary beautiful; fragrance
delightful. The color is pure snow white, sometimes faintly
tinged with pale yellow. In eyery way identical with Marie
Guillot, except that this variety isa rapid climber, throwing up
shoots ten to fifteen feet high in a single season. It blooms con-
tinuously the first year. In fact, it commences blooming when
in small pots, and continues throughout the season, This Rose
will be a glorious variety in the South, where it will undonbted-
ly equal Marechal Niel. Hardy in the North with careful pro-
tection. Strong flowering piamts, 15 cents each; large
two-year-old plants, 50 cents each.

NEW ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT—Continued.

Maid of Honor.—This was named by the introducer Miss
Clara Barton, but had to be changed for the reason that another
Rose had been given thatname. Itisasport from Bridesmaid,
and is several shades deeper than that variety. Its connection
with the Mermet family of Roses would indicate its worth. 15
cents each; large two-year-old plants, 40 cents each.

Clara Barton, Grand New Constant Blooming Rose.—
The introducer says that this Rose attracted so much attention
and proved of such remarkable beauty and value that he re-

uested permission of Miss Clara Barton, president of the
World's Red Cross Society, to give it her name in remembrance
of the noble work she has done in the cause ofhumanity all over
the world. This permission was kindly granted,coupled with the
suggestion that the Rose be called simply ‘‘Clara Barton.” The
color is a rare and exquisite shade of delicate amber pink, en-
tirely different from any other Rose with which we are acquaint-
ed. The flowers are medium size, double to the center, delight-
fully fragrant, and each one is set in with a lovely rosette of
leaves completely encircling the flower, and making a bouquet
of itself. Itisa constant bloomer. An exquisite Rose in every
way. If you want a good Rose, try thisone. 15 cents each;
Jarge two-year-old plants, 50 cents each.

Sweet Little Queen.—Named in honor of Queen Wilhel-
mina, the young
last October, at the tender age of sixteen years. Plants strong
and vigorous, with handsome sea green foliage. The buds are
long, and when open, full and double. The outer petals are
large, while those of the center are pointed like those of the
Chrysanthemum or Cactus Dahlia, which lends a peculiar as-
pect tothe flower. Very sweetand floriferous. Color, Daffodil
yellow, center deeper, with blush and orange shadings. A
dainty variety. 15 cents each; large two-=year=old
plants, 50 cents each.

NEW ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT—Continued.

The first Pure White Hardy Everblooming Climbing
Rose, Mrs. Robert Peary, or Climbing Kaiserit Augusta
Victoria.—Thisis without doubt the grandest of all white climb-
ing Roses. Itis the first and only pure white hardy eyerbloom-
ing climbing Rose, and as such meets a demand that has never
before been supplied. Small plants bloom continually the first
Season, Just as the parent, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, does. Itis
as hardy as any Hybrid Perpetual or Moss Rose, and will with-
stand, unprotected, the most severe Winters. It is a strong,
rapid grower, without a weak spot, growing to perfection in the
open ground, and throwing up numerous shoots ten to fifteen
feet high ina single season. The flowers are something grand.
They are the equal of the finest and most beautiful eut-fower
Roses. Ofsplendid substance. They are extra large, full, deep
and double, and are produced on long stiffstems, like a forcing
or cut-flower Rose. The buds are long and pointed, exquisitely
modeled and gracefully finished. Bothin bud and flower. it is
truly beautiful. It has a fragrance that is delicious, just like
Cherry blossoms. If you wanta quick growing absolutely hardy,
climbing, sure-to-bloom Rose, one that will give you flowers
this season, thisis the only white variety that will do. Be sure
to get this wonderful variety. Its magnificent flowers, freedom
of bloom and healthy growth will astonish you. This isthe
greatest of all climbing Roses. I have fifty thousand plants of
this grand Rose, and I guarantee them to be genuine. 15 cents
each; large two-year-old plants, 50 cents each.

Climbing Bridesmaid.—The flowers are simply beautiful
(identical with Bridesmaid). A clear, dark pink. In bud they
are superb beyond that of any other climbing Rose. Brides-
maid is considered the most beautiful of all pink Roses, and in
Climbing Bridesmaid you have all this beauty coupled with a

the greatest tenacity. For covering dead trees, gate posts,
boundary walls, verandas, etc., it has no equal, while its rapid
_ growth and tenacious clinging qualities make it a most desir-
able plant for staying up terraces. In the Summer the foliage

THE CARE AND CULTURE OF FLOWERS.

.
4 “Mistress Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?”

ie How to make plants thrive well and bloom freely is a question that often puzzles those
who love flowers. Our floral treasures are so beautiful and fragrant, that no matter
how many we have, more are always wanted. Some persons. seem to think it is a difficult
thing to grow flowers successfully. Such is not the case, I am glad tosay. Plants re-
quire fair treatment, it is true, but there is nothing mysterious about their culture.
Their beauty and perfume is rich reward for the small amount of trouble required to
grow them successfully. My love for the plants I grow does not cease when I sell them
—it is so strong that I want to know that they are properly cared for afterwards. If
this is done, I have the assurance that my customers will be pleased with their flowers,
and that they will send me orders another season. Of course, with all my now immense
business to look after, I cannot write special letters to all my patrons, telling them how
to care for their plants—it would be impossible for me to do so. Success with flowers
has been attained by so many people, however, that one can readily learn from the expe-
rience of others whatit is necessary to do in order to make plants grow and bloom. I want
to place in the hands of every one of my customers a monthly record of these experiences.

eee? FO GROW FLOWERS.

In order to do this, I am acting as agent for a splendid floral magazine, with the above
name. It is the only journal of its kind published in America, and any person who grows
or loves flowers ought to have it. How to Grow FLowers is prepared especially for amateur
flower culturists,and is most plain and practical in the directions it gives. It is a work of
art, printed on fine book paper and illustrated from photographs, showing flowers as they
actually are. Each number contains from twenty-eight to thirty-six large pages. Its col-
umns are absolutely independent, telling what is best for inexperienced flower growers,
regardless of the effect on the sale of plants by me or by any other florist. The matter pub-
lished is practical—the journal tells you what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.
Every phase of home floriculture is covered in season. There is a department in which
; floral questions are answered, and every subscriber is welcome to make use of it. Sev-
: eral pages of brief letters from readers are published each month, and cash prizes awarded
for the two best ones. There are also other liberal prize offers to subscribers in each
number. I am not the publisher of this great magazine, please bear in mind, but act as
general agent for it. - - - > - - - - - -

New Hardy Hver-blooming Rose, ALIOH ALDRICH—The most richly
and sweetly scented Hardy Rose. A perpetual-blooming Hardy Rose. The hardiest
of Hardy Roses. The most double and beautiful of Perpetual Roses. The most
unique of all Roses. This new and distinct Rose is truly wonderful. It is a pioneer
of a new and most valuable race, namely: absolutely hardy, perpetual blooming and
sweetly scented Roses. The Alice Aldrich is a hybrid between Rosa Rugosa and that
splendid old variety of the hybrid perpetual or remontant class, Caroline de Sansal.
In habit of growth and foliage it strongly resembles the rugosa species, possessing the
same abuadant, rich, dark green, clean and healthy foliage and Moss Rose-like buds.
In like manner it inherits the property of this species of blooming with
great profusion in June, and continuing to flower throughout the summer and autume.
It also possesses all the ruggedness and iron-clad hardiness of its Japanese parent.

~ Onthe other hand, the flower in make-up, finish, color and fragrance of its flowers
fesembles to a greater degree the Caroline de Sansal. The Roses are medium to
Jarge in size, densely double, beautiful in bud, and of pure, bright peach-blow pink

_ throughout. ‘There is no other rose we have ever grown that isso rich in delicious
7, damask perfume. Unlike almost all other Roses, its foliageis exempt from mildew

and the attacks of insects or slugs, remaining healthy, clean and bright, deep green
until turned to 2 crimson color by frost. In this Rose are united iron-clad hardiness
_and perpetual bloom that is richly and sweetly scented—not to mention the beauty of
form, color and make-up and doubleness of Alice Aldrich. —

MEDIA—New Golden-Yellow Tea Rose—This is the grandest of all yel-
low Roses, and should be planted by everybody. Its flowers are of the largest size,
perfectly double to the center and of the most perfect shape, both in bud and blossom,

~ while its color is a degree of loveliness unapproached by any other Rose, being a rich
deep golden-yellow, with decided sulphur tints. The brightness and richness of this ~
Rose is the admiration of all beholders. We have grown in our establishment some
fifty varieties of yellow Roses, and think Media the best.

The Gold Medal Rose, JUBILEE—Its wealth of color.—A pure red in its

_ deepest tone, shading to deep crimson-red and velvety maroon-red in the depths of
the petals. ‘‘The coloring is alive,’’ as one expressedit. ‘‘It fairly glows in its rich
warmth of coloring,’’ another said. Itisadmirable, unique, and as Mr. Schuyler
Matthews, the celebrated artist, said, ‘‘This Rose contains the darkest cclor, combined
with pure color, of which nature is capable,"’ It will require centuries to produce
‘its equal—if it ever 1s produced—for nature is not prolific in-repititions.

3 PRISOILL A—The Charming New White Tea Rose—Another | tion the largest white Rose both in bud and flower. No other Rose of its color

Mrs. Thomas Lawson.—No plant of whatever kind has ever received se much description and
free advertising by the newspapers of the whole country as this sensational Carnation. It was sold for

New Ever-Blooming BABY PRIMROSE. a7 EUS:

This is the freest blooming plant we know of, blooming continuously throughout the
entire season. Plants in very small pots have from fifteen to twenty sprays of lovely light |
pink fiowers on stems ten to twelve inches high at one time, and plants in four inch pots §
have from twenty-five to fifty at one time, lasting in bloom fully four weeks without fading,
and continually sending out new sprays all over the plant, making it one of the most desira- |
ble plants for the house ever introduced, It is a very rapid grower and the easiest grown }
of all the Primrose family.

Fuchsia, BLACK PRINCE.

The grandest of all Winter bloomers. It is really one of the most charming and desira-
ble Fuchsias in cultivation, and should be better known. It isa genuine Winter-bloomer,
and all who know it value it very highly for this quality. The habit of the plant is erect
and compact, presenting a neat and attractive appearance asa pot plant. The fine, star-
shaped flowers are produced in profusion and begin when the plants are quite young. The
tube and sepals are light sky blue, It blooms quite freely, plants in two-inch pots frequently
producing fiowers; but large plants will bloom more freely and produce Jarger clusters. We
have seen a plant of this Fuchsia, six feet high and five feet through, and by actual count it
was loaded with over five thousand of its bright blooms. It is of the easiest culture, requir-
ing the same treatment as other Fuchsias. No plant will attract more attention than a well
grown specimen of Fuchsia, Black Prince. Its clusters of long, tube-like drooping brilliant §
flowers, and very large, green foliage give it a most striking appearance.

HIBISCUS, Double Crimson.

Th's plani is for house culiure during Winter cr Summer, or for planting outside dur

ing Summer. It blooms at a!l times of the year. The plants branch freely and flower pro
_fusely, commencing to bloom when not more than a foot high. As a specimen plant for
large pots it has no equal only in the Brugmansia. Its flowers are very large, often 8 to 10
inches across, opening double, and of such crimson-scarlet color that it can be seen at a long
distance. They can be wintered in a celiar or pt with perfect safety, and ifone does not
care to grow them all winter, one should have one or two for Summerdisplay. No plant is
surer to grow and thrive under any treatment than this, and few are so satisfactory.

BABY PRIMROSE.

- e A new weeping plant of great beauty. One of the grandest basket plants grown, The

e€eping 2 PiAnA=aan has most graceful drooping habit, grows very rapidly and blooms continually Sum-

‘ mer and Winter, producing large clusters of the most delicate lilac or rosy pink, foliage

dark green. A single plant on August ist, this past Summer had 590 clusters of flowers on it. The same plant, Dec. 1st, had 350 clusters of flowers on, which
proves it one of the most persistent bloomers and does equally well Winter and Summer. Nothing so easily grown or gives as much satisfaction as Lantana.

Cyperus Alternafolius.--Umbrella Plant.

This is a plant of the easiest culture, and a large specimen is as hand-
some as a Palm for decoration. It makes.a handsome plant or can be used
in baskets or vases, making a charming effect. It will grow luxuriantly in
water, and is, therefore indispensable for aquariums or fountains.

Harcéy Russian Violet.

This violet is entirely hardy, a deep violet-purple color, and deliciously
fragrant. It surpasses the well-known ‘‘Marie Louise’’ Violet in richness
of color, being many shades darker, and far excels it in its delightful color.
Tt will grow and bloom in any garden and in any situation, Nothing better
for cemeiery planting than the Hardy Double Russian Violet.

Chrysanthemum, Golden Wedding—The grandest yellow ever oifered. Thisefine variety swept
everything before it at the New York and Philadelphia shows, Incolorit is a deep, bright golden, of shining
texture, is very large in size, the petals are very long and broad, and chanzeled lengthwise. A perfect Japanese in-
curved of most beautiful form, very free in growth. A first-class exhibition variety. Has swept all the prizes for
yellow.

Good Gracious—another introduction fron: Japan, and so remarkable for its size as to suggest its name,
The first sight of it usually brings forth an exclamation of admiration. The color also is unique, being a delicate
shade of peach-pink throughout. The color is remarkable, the petals are incurved and twisted, overlapping each
other in irregular fashion, and resembling talons. Of all the splendid varieties introduced from Japan this is per-
haps the most remarkable for size, form and color, and stands alone in its unique beauty, there being nothing at
all approaching it.

Major Bonaffon—A soft, clear primrose, or straw yellow, fullin center, eight inches in diameter, and
nearly asdeep. In perfect form and finish, like ivory at its best. Habit dwarf, keeping qualities excellent. Foliage
well up to the flower, stem stiff,. An ideal variety. Bound to be one of the Chrysanthemums necessary to every
collection. Was awarded a Columbian medal.

Mutual Friend—New-—A splendid flower, very nearly spherical in form, petals very broad and heavy,
and finely incurving. It is very nearly white in color, only showing a touch of pearl-pink at the base of the petals.
Received first-class certificate at Philadelphia and Indianapolis. Strong grower carrying’ flowers on stiff stems.
The blooms of this variety sold at nine dollars per dozen over the counter in Philadelphia last Fall.

Gettysburg—This i is the richest deep crimson variety we have ever seen, and excells in its color as Golden
Wedding does in yellow. The color is the richest velvety-crimson, which in the flower itself is soft and velvety-
like. The outer petals are broad and drooping, and have a lustrous sheen in the sunlight. The form is flat, with
drooping outer petals, which gives it a very graceful appearance. This is the popular form, and combined with
the splendid color stamps Gettysburg as a Chrysanthemum of rare merit. -
