CULTURE.—The soil can hardly be too rich and porous. Equal parts manure, loam and sand, with a little peat, form best mixture. Plants must be kept in a growing temperature of sixty degrees. Liberal supplies of manure water are of great benefit. Bottom heat is very desirable for these plants when growing in the greenhouse. $ H 3 Z : - ; 5 c

HERE has been nothing offered in recent years that possesses such real and intrinsic value and merit, and that appeals to so many buyers as the new Cannas which we have the pleasure of offering to our customers this season, French Seedling Cannas have attracted considerable
attention from some years; the varieties which we now have the pleasure of offering are far supe- rior to any that have been offered in this line, and any ideas based on purchases of the so-called ‘French Cannas” would be misleading. They are really the finest novelties that have been offered in years; they are not only the very finest plants for bedding, and will be in great demand by those who desire something choice and rare to vary the monotony of out-door gardening, but they also make elegant plants for the conservatory, both Summer and Winter ; in fact, one of the finest plants for conservatory decoration there is to-day. Every shoot blooms, «nd as often as a truss of bloom is past its prime another shoot pushes out beyond it, and each stem blooms three, four and five times in succession; as the plants throw up numbers of shoots, they are a mass of gorgeous bloom con- stantly. We have never offered a plant that has given such unqualified satisfaction, and for which there has been such a demand as there has been for these new Cannas during the time we have had them, and those who do not secure a stock of these valuable plants immediately will have cause to regretit. Heretofore we preferred to wait before investing in French Cannas until something was produced of intrinsic merit, pronounced enough in character to make it really valuable. Having satisfied ourselves of the value of these novelties beyond all question, we have invested in them very heavily, and offer the following eight kinds as the very best selected from over two hundred varieties. See colored plate on opposite page for numbers showing colors.

Nothing can excel the picturesqueness and effectiveness of this grand plant.

The massive, banana-like leaves alone would make thisa valuable acquisition, but when we see its magnificent magenta flowers, over three inches long and two inches wide, suspended from its deep red, whip-like flower stalks, it is difficult to find words to express our admiration.

HIS magnificent new Rose was raised by a Mr. Meehan, Tt of Richmond, Virginia, and named by him in honor of one of the greatest generals the world has ever known. We purchased the entire stock of it, and we have the pleasure of first introducing it to the public. We feel confident that its great beauty will win for ita lasting place in the affections of all
lovers of beautiful Roses, as it is a gem indeed. If you wiil turn to the front page of cover of this cata- logue you will see the Rose in color, shape and outline as nearly reproduced as the artist can accomplish this, but while the work is well executed it, to our minds, does not nearly convey an idea of the Rose's true beauty. When the artist attempts to paint a Rose he finds the same difficulty that is encountered in the effort to transfer the beau- ties of a sunset to canvas. While they can make a very fine imitation, <till it lacks the rich, soft, blend- ing effect that one seesin the bright coloring and lining of the floating clouds, and just so it is in the attempt to paint this Rose. While an idea can be conveyed of the Rose, still it lacks in bringing out the beautiful blending effect of subdued colorsin its daintily-arranged pet- als.

GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE.
There are some Roses that will show a few more buds than this variety, but they will not perfect all the flowers, while in the *¢ General Lee’? every flower comes perfect. We have never seen an imperfect bud or flower of this variety. With usit has been a mass of beautiful buds and roses all through the year, both Winter and Summer. The great beauty and value of the
Rose is in the e’egant shape and color of its buds and bloom. There is no other Rose like it in either respect. The budsare borne on long stems, and are long and somewhat more open at the end of the bud than is seen in the other varieties—the arrange- ment of the petals inter- lacing so nicely as to give the bud a charming light fluffy effect. The open flowers of this Rose are perfectly double to the cen- ter. It is extremely beau- tiful, bothin bud and in the open flower. The coloring in this wonderful Rose is very difficult to describe. It is ashade of yellow hither- to unknown in this flower, and is what is termed a solid color, while the cen- ter of the ower may bea shade deeper than the out- er petals, still it is hardly perceptible. Asnearaswe can name the coloritissoft Nasturtium yellow, or cop- pery bronze. Taken alto- gether itis the most won- derful Rose in every par- ticular of the century.
It can be bought of no one but us, as we control
the entire stock. It cost us a handsome sum of money to buy this Rose, and while itis worth a dollar, which we have no dowbt other dealers would have charged for it, still we make the price y reasonable, as we wish all to see its great beauty.

The Four Beautiful New Roses
ON THE BACK OF COVER OF THIS BOOK,
E have made selection of four of the very finest Ever-blooming Roses of late introduction, and have had them painted to nature, and we
reproduce them on the fourth page of cover on this book.
They are
really elegant, and we can cheerfully recommend them as being choice in every
respect.
Do not fail to try a set of them.
. . . . . . . .
NEW GOLDEN-YELLOW ROSE,
STAR OF GOLD.
(ETOILE D'OR.)
See Yellow Rose on Back of Cover.
HIS elegant new Rose is certainly a great acquisition.
Full, round flowers, of the largest size, perfectly double
to the center, ofttimes comes in immense clusters. blooms
quickly and profusely, and besides being exceedingly beautiful is entirely distinct from all others. The color is a deep golden-
yellow, with rich citron center. A Rose which has won our fa- voreasily. If you desire a large, rich, deep yellow Rose. try it.
Price, good plants, 30 cents each: large two-year-old plants, 60 cents each.
NEW PINK TEA ROSE, BRIDESMAID.
See Pink Rose on Back of Cover.
ERE we have a new Rose, a sport from that old stand- Hi by, Catherine Mermet. This new variety retains all
the good qualities of the parent, besides adding charms not possessed by the sweet Catherine. Ail know that Catherine Mermet takes precedence as a pink Rose. More }lants of it are cultivated by the amateur, and more cut bloom issold by the flow- er dealer of it than any pink Rose. Why? Because the bud is of exquisite shape and contour, so solic and firm,and the stems are so long 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 defect, namely, “off color.’? This is noticeable more in dark, cloudy weather, but is true of the Rose atalltimes. Now, this is why the Bridesmaid will supersede the Mermet. It is about two shades deeper in color—just enough to make it bright; and it is the same color all the time under every condition of weather and surroundings. We have procured a good stock of this valuable Rose at great expense, and offer it with confidence,
Price, 30 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 75 cents each.
NEW PURE WHITE HYBRID TEA ROSE, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria.
See White Rouse on Back of Cover.
HIS beautiful Rose has not only a royal name, butis a | royal Rose as well. We have white Roses that have elegant buds, but when full blown are not all that is desired. Then again,we have white Roses that are elegant when full b own, but have poor buds. This Rose combines both these good qualities. It is a continuous bloomer. producing suc- cessive crops of buds and flowers in the greatest profusion; the buds are very beautifully formed, with large petals of best sub- stance; shows no center when fully open; color pure snowy- white; and when you add a rich perfume, coupled with a vigor- ous growth, what more could you ask? This Rose is an easy winner over all competitors in its color, and we predict that more of it wi 1 be planted than all other white Roses combined. This is the first time this Rose has ever been offered by any one. We have tested it thoroughly.
Price, 30 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 75 cents each.
NEW CRIMSON TEA ROSE,
CHRISTINE DE NOUE,
(Or DOUBLE PAPA GONTIER.)
See Crimson Rose on Back of Cover.
HIS beautiful new red Tea is a very charming Rose, and promises to be one of the best of recent introduction. It is particularly valuable because red has been a very scarce color among Tea Roses, and this one seems exceptionally fine. It is a splendid grower, making a large-sized graceful bush, with bright, deep green foliage; a constant a d very free bloomer; the flowers are well borne upon strong stems, and are unusually large and handsome; the buds are long and finely pointed; and the color a clear, rich maroon or deep purplish-red, passing to lake,center sometimes streaked with silvery-white; the petals are finely imbricated, and the flowers are deliciously sweet. Itis highly recommended as a valuable and in every way desirable Rose for general planting.
Price, 30 cents each;
large two-year-old plants, 40 cents each.

EVER-BLOOMING PINK ROSE,
LETTY COLES.
In this we have one of the best Roses grown. Extra large, globular form, very double, exceedingly sweet Tea fragrance.
olor a soft, rosy-pink, shaded with intense crimson. Very chaste and beautiful. Always in bloom.
NEW PURE WHITE TEA ROSE,
THE QUEEN.
A most charming Tea Rose. The offspring of that fine old Rose, Souvenir d’un Amie, whose many good qualities it seems to possess in a remarkable degree, It is pure snow-white, makes good, finely-formed buds, is quite full, showing the center but slightly when fuliy open. The petals are thick and of good sub- stance, opens well, is very sweet, and has proved valuable both for pot culture and open ground planting. We recommend it for extended trial, as it will be found a valuable acquisition to our list of pure white ever-blooming Roses.
GOLDEN-YELLOW ROSE,
STAR OF LYON.
Color a beautiful chrome-yellow, deepening to the center to pure golden-yellow, flowers very large, very double and full, and delicioucay fragrant. A grand bedder. It produces mag- nificent buds, equal to Marechal Neilincolorand size. Elegant, both for house and garden culture.
GERANIUM,
SOUVENIR DE MIRANDE.
The greatest novelty in new Geraniums that has appeared for a number of years is undoubtedly Souvenir de Mirunde, It is entirely distinct trom any other variety known, and is quite dit- ferent from the usual marked yarieties that have from time to time made their appearance. It has round florets, upper petals cream-white, with a distinct rosy-pink bord r, lower petals sal- mon-rose, streaked with pure lilac. most novel color. It is extremely free-floweriny, and produces fine trusses of its mag- nificent blooms. Mr. John Thorpe says it has made a leap of a decade in its advent,
NEW GERANIUM,
BRUANT.
Semi-double. This magnificent Geranium is the product of Monsieur Bruanti,of Poiuiers, and is the beginning of a new and distinct habited section inthe Zonal Geraniums, Itis very difficult to describe the difference between this type and the or- dinary Zonal Geranium, but the characteristics of this variety are observed at a glance, when placed beside older varieties of the same family. The leafage is round and nicely zoned, having greater texture and substance than even the most vigorous of the old type. Color of the flower a light vermilion red, of a most pleasing shade, The flowers are absolutely perfect in shape, contour and make-up, trusses exceptionally Jarge, and borne in immense spherical balls, often measuring eight inches in diame- ter. It does finely in the open ground, and is perfectly reliable as a bedding Geranium of the highest merit. It makes acom- pact, dense growth, and has all the qualities that go to make the perfect bedder that it is. Fine also in pots. The very finest scarlet bedder extant.
NEW CHRYSANTHEMUM,
GOLDEN WEDDING.
This is the grand golden-yellow variety shown in the colored plate. Nothing can exceed the richness of its color, it is un- rivaled in this respect. It is a remarkably vigorous grower, and has such strength of stem that it carries its great globular flow- ers crect, giving it a bold, majestic appearanee, The form of Golden Wedding is unique, the outer petals droop downward in picturesque regularity, the center of the flower is built high. with broad petals irregularly overlaid,so that although the flowers are so large they are not heavy, solid-looking like many others. For this reason alone it will, no doubt, supersede all other yel- low varieti s with the public.
NEW CHRYSANTHEMUM, MRS. J. LEWIS CHILDS.
This valuable new Chrysanthemum was exhibitcd at the New York and Philadelphia shows, attracting much attention as one of the very best incurved varieties, and was awarded a medal of excellence at the American Institute Fair. It is a free, strong grower, easily attaining four feet in the open ground. The enormous flowers are as round asa ball, and prodneced in abund- ance on long stems. The pure snowy-white color develops a tinge of pink so exquisitely faint that one almost looks for the colorin the light, and not the flower. Used for decoration in the evening. This feature has been much admired, Altogether this new variety is one of the most prominent offered this year.
NEW CARNATION, WHITE WINGS.
A pure snow-white variety, waxy, without fleck or tint, of the largest size, serrated edge, delightfully fragrant. Much the best white Carnation grown, Excellent for pot or garden culture.
NEW BEGONIA,
GIGANTEA ROSEA.
A superb variety, stro g, upright grower, fine, large flowers of a clear°cardinal red,the bud only exceeded ii beauty by the open tlower, which is borne on a strong, thick stem. The leaves are smooth and glossy, and attached closely to the main stem. Both leaf and stem quite upright-srowing, and forming a shrub- by, round plant.
NEW FUCHSIA,
MRS. E. G. HILL.
This is the very best double white Fuchsia ever offered. Its flowers are enormous 1n size, corolla pure white, tube and sepals richest crimson, making a combination that 1s very attractive. We have had plints with thousands of these elegant blossoms on both Winter and Summer. It is of the easiest culture.
NEW FUCHSIA, GENERAL ROBERTS.
A remarkably beautiful variety. The blooms are four to five inches in length,and are borne in large clusters. When the
lant gets well established it will produce panicles of these Bloom over a footin length. The coroila is rich plum color, tube and sepals bright crimson. Itis a wonderful plant to bloom.

? eautiful Colored Plate Roses,
AS SHOWN ON OUR CATALOGUE FOR 1893.
We sold many thousands of these Roses last year, and they de- lighted all who got them. There are no better Roses than these choice new varieties. Try them. We offer them cheap this year.
N EW ROSES What an enthusiasm these two words arouse, not alone with the amateur Rose grower, but with O professional rosarians as well. Few.indeed, know what tribulations the growers of New Roses
have to contend with. The candidates he offers for public fayor must be improyements over existing varieties, and with
the multitudinous number of varieties now disseminated this is no easy task to accomplish. New Roses are often condemned too quickly. Notable instances of this on record are Henri Plantier, now Mrs. Degraw, Niphetos and Papa Gontier, at one time thought worthless, thir true worth found out, and they become at once standard and established sorts— fixtures as it were. We spare neither trouble nor expense to obtain and test all new Roses offered, and we are in a position to be of service to all interested in the newer
kinds of Roses from this fact alone.
We have the pleasure to offer you on this page five grand New Roses, every one of them en-
titled to a share of your time and talents, as they are certainly worthy.

NEw GOLDEN=YELLOW TEA ROSE, MEDIA.
We place this elegant Rose the first on the list of new Ro- ses for several reasons, Incoloritis deep golden-yellow. Par- don: the expression, but with usa deep yellow Rose not only al- ways*‘ takes the cake,” but we vote it the bakery as well. There is no denying the fact that the yellow and white Roses are ad- mired by every one, but the y: low has the more admirers of the two. The size and shape is all that could be desired; full, round flowers of the largest size, per featly double to the center, and the fragrance is elegant. The growth is vigorous, while the foliage is of that beautiful tint of green that goes so well with yellow. If you have heretotore been disappointed in getting a yellow Rose that pleased you in every particular, don’t fail to try this one, as it will not only win your favor, but torever retain it. Offered last Fall by us, and then tor the first time catalogued
by any one. We have tested it thoroughly. and the praise here bestowed on it by us is richly merited. Try it. This Rose is shown at bottom of page, front of cover, book of 1893.

New Ever-BLoomInG ROSE, STRIPED LA FRANCE.
(Ma’ame Angelique Veysset.) Everybody knows the beau- tiful La France a Rose that has always had such a ready sale that the demand his never been fully met. Striped La France combines all the good qualities cf La France in growth, fra- grance, shape of bud and flower; in fact, differs from it except in two points. First, itis freerii bloom thanthe parents; second, it is niccly striped, the marking being plain and distinct, the va- riegation a beautiful bright rose on a satin-)ink grou d. We planted several thousands to test them, and the many thous7nds of our frisnds who have seen it prefer it to La France, as being a more pleasing shade, if that were possible. This Rose has re- ceived several gold medals and special certificates of merit, as shown before the Rose societies of this country as well as Eu- rope. In ordering this you are not only getting a novelty in the way of a striped stose, but a Rose that is sterling in every good quality. The fact of the Florists buving more of it for their own use than any of the new Roses offered should convince every one
that itis bound to become popular. Perfectly hardy.

In growing this flower it is better to have young plants every Spring to plant out. They
will flower more or less during the Summer, and in the Fall can be potted and brought inside for Winter blooming, and are almost
certain to do well.
In the Spring they can again be bedded out, and will bloom finely all the season, but will be too much exhausted

indeed, as many of you have been buying of us and writing us letters of encourage-
ment and praise of the very friendliest nature ever since we began business. We are
always glad to hear from you, more especially when you succeed well with your flow-
ers, but we want to hear of the failures as well, as we may be of assistance to you in
rd helping you to a more successful culture in your floral treasures. If there have been
any errors in our filling your orders, we want to know the Same, SO we can make them
good to you. When you order, mention what was not right, and we will endeavor to
fully satisfy you. We will do this cheerfully, as we know that in our large business
AY mistakes will sometimes occur. We guarantee safe arrival of plants, and also that
they are true toname. Our sales last Spring far surpassed our most sanguine expec-
tations. Indeed, the orders poured in so fast that we were unable to ship as promptly as we should have
done. Especially was this so in the months of April and May. Our mails brought us on many days from
two to three thousand orders. We increased our force until we had all the help we could work, and we
worked early and late, but still we could not keep up with our orders. This naturally caused some un-
easiness among those whose orders were delayed in getting them started. We have this year enlarged
our place over one-third in glass area, besides building a large addition to our packing houses. We
have also largely increased our force of experienced workmen, and we feel sure we can now handle all the business that comes to us, promptly, no matter how large.
Rose Specialists.__—_"__)
This is the age of specialists, not only in our line of business, but in others as well. Progress is so rapid, and the demand for the very best of everything so universal, that with the quick flight of time man finds himself powerless to keep up with the steady tramp of the procession unless he devotes his whole time and talents to the excellence of some one thing. We have recognized this from our Starting into business, and we have made the Rose our specialty, until to-day
WE LEAD THE WORLD IN ROSES.
We employ Rose specialists, having the very best rosarians that money will procure, who deyote their undivided attention to the Rose. Our agents in Europe are instructed to buy everything good that is offered there. These we thoroughly test, and in this way we can offer in our Catalogue the best the world produces, giving us decided advantages over firms who do not so devote their attention.
To give you some idea of the extent of our Rose business we will say that we have in stock now growing for this Spring’s sales over one and a half millions of young Rose plants. These require when placed in two and a half inch pots, fifty greenhouses, each twenty feet wide by one hundred feet in length; or in other words, a building twenty feet wide almost one mile in length. These Roses we distribute to every country in the world, shipping as many as ten thousand Rose get this wonderful traffic in Roses? Was it by chance or luek, think you? Nota bit of it. the excellence of the Rose plants we furnish. When our patrons receive their Roses they are so delighted that they tell all their neighbors how nicely they came, and when they bloom they tell them again of their beauty and fragrance, and it has kept us hustling to keep up with the demand.

For instance, one distinguished member of the craft happily expressed his enthusiasm for the Rose by saying, “There may be many ‘Beauties’ in a ball- room, but there is only one ‘ Belle,’ *’ and this is true enough in the double sense, but it must not be taken as meaning that the ‘* Beauty ” has been eclipsed, because there is a distinct place for both varieties, and each can fill its own allotted sphere.

Mr Burton does not claim for the “Belle”? that she will supersede “Beauty.” On the contrary, he wishes it distinctly understood that the ‘* Belle” is put on the market as a companion and not as a rival of “ Beauty.” There are men eminent in AMERICAN BEAUTY:

The Greatest E Rose Novelty 4 of the Season 5
CLIMBING LA FRANCE,
We give the introducer’s description: “It is doubtful if, since the introduction of ‘Gen. Jacqueminot’ and ‘ La France,’ there has been offered such a sterling novelty in Roses as the Climbing La France. The two varieties memtioned are conceded to be without peers in their class, but the Climbing La France towers so far above all climbing Roses for the open ground that comparison is out of the question. MHitherts the hardy climbing Roses have been almost totally devoid of perfume, and none of them have that form and substance deemed requisite in a high-class Rose. With the advent of Climbing La France, these objections
vanish, for it excels even its parent (La France) in size and quality of flower, it retains the charming peach-pink color and the exquisite fragrance which have made ‘ La France’ the favor- ite it is. This peerless acquisition had its origin as a ‘sport? from ‘La France’ and has been under trial at our grounds for the past four years, so that its character is undoubtedly fixed As an evidence of its robust habit we cite the fact that small plants set out June 15th, 1892, had attained a growth of fifteen feet by October isth, a growth unsurpassed by any climbing Rose on our grounds, The Climbing La France is equally as hardy as its parent and so may be safely planted in the open ground even in our northern latitudes, We feel a pardonable pride in being able to offer in this our Columbian year an American Rose which is worthy of a place in every American garden.” We endorse the above description and also add that this is a true, ever-blooming, hardy, climbing Rose which will make it equally valuable for the North and the South. Be sure totry it. It will be scarce tor

EW Roses have as firm a hold in pop- F ular favor and are so highly prized
by the professional and amateur Rose grower alike as the Perle des Jardins. It is not only admirably adapted for forcing, but thrives well in the open air, blooming freely in either case. Its large, full, well- formed, golden-yellow flowers, borne on stiff stems, make this variety especially de- sirable for bouquets and artistic floral deco- rations, while the dark and glaucous foli- age of the plant furnishes an excellent set- ting for the fragrant, delicate-hued blos- soms.

The climbing habit of this sort was so firm- ly fixed from the start that not one of all the cuttings taken from it has reverted to the original type, and if there is any per- ceptible difference between the two itisonly that the Climbing Perie is even more vig~ orous and floriterous than the bush form. Climbing Perle will supercede Marechal Neil, as the bud and flower are as large and the color as deep a golden-yellow as that variety, while it is as vigorous a climber, and will produce one hundred flowers to Neil’s one. It is hardy in the South. A most remarkable Rose, and without doubt the best yellow Rose ever seen.

It is claimed that one plant of it will produce more flowers during the year than ten plants of any Tea Rose. Itisalwaysin full bloom, Plants which have bloomed all Summerinthe garden may be potted in the Autumn, and they will immediately start new growth, and bloom profusely all Winter in any window. Re- turned to the gardenin the Spring they will again bloom all Summer, without intermission. It is truly a perpetual bloomer, never without flowers. Champion in hardiness. Though a per- petual bloomer, it is as hardy and robust as an oak, standing the severe Winters of Vermont, where it originated, in the open
round, without the slightest protection, an commencing its

New Hybrid Tea Rose, * «#
»———_ DENMARK,
Another of the La France type of Roses, with vigorous, upright growth, and healthy, bright, clean foliage. Offered for the first time. While in bloom the past Summer it has attracted everyone’s attention by its remarkable beauty. Es- pecially have the visiting florists taken especial interest in it,so watch the Cata- logues in the next year or so how they talkitup. We must admit that it has won our favor. The bud is much the largest of the hybrid Tea class, and while large is shapely and handsome. Jooks more like a finely built Hybrid Perpetual. Such a bud is of necessity bound to produce an elegant large and full-blown Rose. The petals have much substance and are wax- like. The colorisa lovely shade of rosy apricot, with tracings and touches of sil- very-peach and shell pink. A wonderful Rose.

“ RUBY GOLD.”
New TEA ROSE, °° °°
“RUBY GOLD.”
Nature is constantly surprising us with some development deemed impossible, and in the grand Rose which we offer here- with she has surprised herself. It is the product of Catherine Mermet grafted on a Marechal Neil Rose, which, contrary to all previous belief, has been fused into an entirely distinct variety by some mysterious process of nature, the result being a com- posite likeness of both. It has retained the dwarf habit of Mer- met, showing no tendency to climb, while the color of the flow- ers shows the perfect blending of the rich golden-yellow of Marechal Neil, with the delicate pink of Mermet, the result being a tawny shade of yellow, bordering on old gold, through But it is in the fully ex- panded, large, double flowers that we see the grand coloring ob-
which run veins of rosy red and pink.
tained by the blending of these shades in Nature’s laboratory. It is difficult to describe the rich crimson—not unlike burnished copper—which lights up the center of the flowers, or the grand effect produced by its lessening intensity toward the end ot the petals, where it merges into the tawny golden shade already de- scribed. With a view of indicating this grand coloring in the name of this fine variety, it has been called Ruby Gold, and we venture to predict that its rare beauty will interest and its unique origin startle the horticultural world.

— ~NEW TEA ROSE, WHITE PERLE DES JARDINS.
Lovers of that grand Rose, ‘* Perle des Jardins,’’ will be glad to learn that we have now a pure iyory-white “Pearl of the Gardens.” We have given ita long trial,and believe it is an ideal Rose, It has foliage darker and rougher than Perle, throws up long, slender, stiff canes,each one bearing a pure white bud of something more than medium size, and quite upright. Every flower can be cut with a very long, closely foliaged stem, which we considera strong point of beauty in a Rose. It has a delicate Tea fragrance. We think that every lover of white Tea Roses will be delighted with White Perle. It will be found totally dis- tinct from Bride, or any other white Rose. This is surely a most magnificent Rose, as cach year’s trial we give it only enhances its value in our estimation.

For smoothness, richness and finish, this Rose is without arival, It originated in England, and received numerous medals and certificates atthe various exhibitions there; besides, it has received the highest encomiums from the press there, and our experience confirms what has been said of it.

Mrs. DE GRAW.
Every one wants a Hardy Ever- Blooming Rose, and when our at- tention wascalled to the grand va- riety shown in the accompanying engraving, we at once took steps to procure a stock of it. Follow- ing our usual practice, we gave it a thorough trial before offering it, and we are glad to say that it has fully justified the high opinion fored of it when first seen by us. It is with the greatest pleasure, therefore, we announce to our cus- tomers that we can confidently recommend it as being entirely ‘hardy, equaling the tender sorts in profusion of bloom. From early Summer until frost it may be de- pended upon to produce flowers in ‘abundance, Incolor it is a rich, glossy pink, delighttully fragrant, ‘and Is such a strong, vigorous :grower that it is almost impregna- ble against attacks of the insects which usually destroy some of our finest Roses; thus it is certain to ‘be unequaled for the garden or -cemetery, A royal Rose. The sketch shows the wonderfully pro- lific blooming qualities of this grand Rose. Every shoot is load- ed with flowers as shown.

HARDY ROSE, SUMMER QUEEN.
Peter Henderson & Co., the in- troducers of this variety, say: “ This splendid pink, hardy Rose was purchased from a Mr. Klein- haus two years ago, and placed on trial in our grounds. We were at once impressed by its remarkab] healthy, vigorous growth and its wonderful blooming qualities, sur- passing all other true Hybrid Per- petuals in this respect, and fully the equal of the best among them in point of size, fragrance and form. For years it had been grown as a Winter-flowering variety by the gentleman fr m whom we purchased it, and some idea of its enormously productive quali- ties can be obtained from the fact that he had cut as many as twelve hundred flowers from a single plant, a record seldom equaled, and never surpassed by any other variety, We have thoroughly tested it, and can recommend it as being entirely hardy. Itis of such vigorous growth that if planted close to a wall -or fence it may be trained like aclimbing Rose. So prolific of
bloom is it that small plants in our grounds, a foot high, were |

GOLDEN GATE. \
NEW, EVER-BLOOMING ROSE ; We have given this Rose another year’s careful attention and study,and we would gladly add to our praise of it, if this were possible. The engraving gives you some idea of its great beauty. There are Golden Gate. so many beautiful Roses, and they are beautiful in so many differeut ways, that it scarcely seems pos-
—=— sible for any one variety to be the most beautiful of all Roses; and yetif the question was to be decided,
we are strongly of the belief that the palm would have to be awarded to the new Tea Rose, Golden Gate. This magnificent Rose is the result of a cross between those old and greatly admired varieties, Safrano and Cornelia Cook, and while combining the good qualities of both is vastly more beautiful than either. The flowers are extra large, very full and finely formed, and of excellent sub- Stance; the buds are long and of the most desirable form; the coloris a rich, creamy white, beautifully tinged with fine golden-yel- low. The petals are large and broad, and exquisitely bordered and tinted with clear Rose, making altogether a Rose of the rarest and most indescribable beauty. The Golden Gate isa strong, healthy grower, and a most profuse and continuous bloomer. Will pro- duce more perfect buds and eae than almost any variety we know. It is excellent for bedding, also for house culture. In short. weTin heartily recommend.it as one of the finest and most beautiful Tea Roses ever grown. ;

Large Two-Vear-Old Roses for Immediate Effect
Nhe
HERE is unquestionably a iD growing demand for large Hose [plants. The reason for this is that one does not have to wait so long for an abund- ant supply of flowers. While our young plants will flower profusely the first year, still it could not be expected of them to produce nearly so many bloom the first season as our large two-year-old Roses. They are strong, thrifty bushes, with healthy, well-developed roots, and are ready to start in as soon as planted, and give plenty of lovely flowers. To meet this ever-increasing de- mand for large Rose plants has been a hard problem for us to
, solve, tor the reason that so

much more labor and time have to be spent with them than with the younger plants, and they require so much more valuable space in our green- houses that they do not pay us nearly so well as the smaller sized Roses. But we are not only going to be up in front, but away in the lead in ah Rose culture. We have now one hundred thousand large two-year-old Roses,so we will be able to meet this demand for large Rose plants, and at the same time keep the price reasonable. We advise all our friends to order at least part of their Roses in this large two-year-old size,and they will

New Hybrid Tea Rose, Madame Caroline Testout.
Probably no Rose stands higher in public estimation to- day than La France, and when we say that this elegant new Rose is a close counterpart of La France, we have said enough to insure its being planted by vast numbers of people. We don’t know thatit is any better than La France, but it is decidedly deeper and more brilliant in color and a larger flower, and it isas good in other ways. Itis a wondertul Rose. It seems equally as healthy, and is cer- tainly more vigorous in growth, ‘which is a great recommenda- tion. The petals are large, and of the elegant La France form; exquisitely edged and bordered with clearsilver rose. Both flow- ers and buds are extra large,and of very elegant form; the color is brilliant satiny-rose, deepen- ing at center to clearred. Itis of excellent substance, keeps its color well,and its splendid, large, globular flowers impress every one with a sense of its superior- ity and great beauty. Mr. Ernest -Asmus says, as read at Society ot American Florists, Washing- ton: “Here isa Rose which I think the best Hybrid Tea up to date. there is nothing in the Rose line

HE MARY WASHINGTON ROSES
> 3 5 = ¢& PRICE, 26 CENTS EACH; FIVE FOR $1.00. LARGE TWO-YEAR-OLD PLANTS, 60 CENTS EACH
HIS famous old Rose was newly introduced to the public recently. The introducer gives the foliowing interesting
account of its origin and history. He says: “Itisan his- toric fact that one hundred ycars ago George Washington, the greatest and most honored American that ever lived, raised in his garden at Mt. Vernon a seedling Rose, which proved to be
a hardy perpetual blooming climber, producing large. double,
snow-white blossoms in great profusion from June until frost In this lovely Rose our first President took special delight, and named it after his mother, Mary Washington. The original bush can yet be seen growing in the grounds where its world-famed master planted it in his garden at Mt. Vernon. Itisastranre thing that this most v2luable of all Roses has stood a hundred years without ever being propagated or finding its way to the public, yet it is a fact that we are the first to offer as new, the old- est American Rose, the first and finest of its class,and raised and named by him ‘who was first in peace, first in war, and first in the hearts of hiscountrymen.’ We may well plant and clerish the Rose which our great Washington left us, as the trucst and best emblem of our remembrance and appreciation of his grcat- ness. We hope in time to see it trailing over the door or gate- way of every home in the lind. Aside from the fact that this Rose was raised and named by George Washington, it is one of the most valuable sorts that has been introduced for many years. A hardy perpetual-blooming climber has long been needed. Its flowers are m: dium size, pure white, perfectly double to the cen- ter, sweet, and borne in endless numbers all Summer. Itisa vigorous and rapid grower, and must at once become a general favorite. It makes a great profusion of fine buds, which are borne on long stems and usually in large clusters. One plant of Mary Washington will produce more flowers and buds than a dozen ordinary Roses. Its fragrance is tinged with that old- fashioned musky flavor so much admired in oldentimes. One of our Customers writes that she counted on one branch the past Fall sixty-three beautiful Roses and buds at one time. Our stock is propagated from cuttings which came from the original bush at Mt. Vernon on the Potomac.” Our offer here of fine, strong plants will therefore be appreciated by thousands in all parts of the country who would like some reminder or souvenir of that historic spot.
See What One of Our Customers Says of This Rose.
SCRANTON, Pa., September 22, 1892. TuE Goop & REESE Co:
Gentlemen—I have thought for some time that I would write and tell you of my success with the Mary Washinyton Rose bush purchased REDS in the Spring of 1891. The first Summer it grew rapidly and bloomed perfectly for a young bush, but not until this season did it give us an idea of its matchless beauty. The plant is now twelve feet high, and at one time in June L counted over four hundred beautiful white Roses on it at one time. It usually comes in clusters of eight totwelve blooms. It was admired by thousands of persons, and myself and family are charmed with it. Very respectfully,

: : = TRIUMPH DE PERNET PERE.
Originated and sent out by Jean Pernet, one of the most celebrated Rose growers ot
France, who has already given us some very beautiful Roses, but considers this the tri- umph 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 au- horities, and as far as we can judge it is 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 beauti- ful, and of such good substance that the flowers retain their beauty for a long time. Very brilliant and beautiful.

POLAR STAR.
New Tea Rose, POLAR STAR.
(ETOILE POLAIRE.)
HIS Rose was first introduced last year, and we doubt if © we can convey in words anything like a satisfactory im-
pression of it. The flowers are extra fine, large, and per- tectly formed, having broad, thick, shell-like petals, quite double | full and very fragrant. Color a rich shade of creamy-white, shading to pink, faintly colored with rosy-red and pale canary- yellow. Similar in color to the grand old variety Gloire de Di- jon. A desirable feature of this variety is the magnificent buds which are produced on strong, stiff stems. Altogether a desira- ble and very handsome Rose, which we can heartily recom-
mend.
Price, 20 cents each; large two-year-old cents each.

New Crimson Tea Rose, Marion Dingee.
This grand new Rose was raised from seed of the beautiful Countess de Casserta, crossed with Duchess of Edinburgh.

Marion Dingee promises to be of extraordinary value. Itis a strong, vigorous grower, making a handsome, graceful bush, with large, thick deep rreen leaves.

Three years ago last Summer Messrs. Guillot
and Fils, the ceiebrated French rosarians, showed us the first flowers of this beautiful new Rose at their gardens in Lyons, which they be- lieved was destined to take very high rank, and our two years’ trial has proved it to be more than they claimed forit. We pronounce it the most attractive and showy Tea Rose of recent intro- duction. It throws up numerous strong shoots, terminating in buds that for beauty surpass the famous Tulip Rose, Madame de Watteville. The buds are large, very double, creamy white, each petal heavily bordered with bright rose. Asacut flower the color holds well, seems to be more intense under gaslight, the white a lemon, the rosy marginared tint.

New Hardy Bedding Rose, ‘Dr, Reymont.”’
This fine, hardy, ever-blooming sort was obtained by crossing the well-known General Jacqueminot and the Rosa Polyantha,or Multi- flora. With such good parentage it is needless to say that the progeny is excellent. It inherits the hardi- ness and splendid crimson-colored * flowers of the General Jacqueminot —which are but little reduced in size —with the profuse blooming quali- ties of the Polyantha class, thus combining the two qualities most de- sired in a garden Rose. Bear in mind that this Rose is entirely hardy, ever-blooming and delightfully fra- grant.

We place this elegant Rose the first on the list of new Roses for several reasons. In coloritisa deep golden-yel- low. Pardon the expression, but with usa deep yellow Rose not only “takes the cake,” but we v ‘te it the bakery as well. There is no denying the fact that yellow and white Roses are admired by every one, but the yellow has the more admirers of the two. The size and shape is all that couid be desired.

OUR BEAUTIFUL 7
MOSS ROSES .a..
OSS ROSES stand alone in picturesque beauty, different and distinct from all others. Their opening buds, half covered
JV with delicate clinging moss of fairy-like texture, are the admiration of every beholder. The Moss Rose is a strong, vigor-
ous grower, perfectly hardy, and therefore justly esteemed as very desirable for out-door culture in open ground. Most va-
rieties bloom but once in a season, and usually not the first year, but the flowers and buds are very handsome. They remain in bloom
a long time, and are highly prized wherever beautiful Roses are known. Moss Roses like rich ground, and are much improved
in beauty and fragrance by liberal manuring and good cultivation; but they bear hardships and neglect well, and always bloom profusely. Being difficult and slow of propagation, the price is higher than for other Roses.

As the flowers are produced on the old growth, they should be pruned but very little, merely cutting away what is absolutely nec- essary. The flowers resemble a OBI cherry blossom, and are the size of a silver dime. They are produced in large clusters, and have a decided violet perfume. Indeed, if blindfolded you could not by the odor distinguish them from violets.

They are perfectly hardy, and make handsome orna- men‘s for the yard or Rose garden. Also useful for cemetery planting. The ac- companying cut shows a Tree Rose in full bloom. They are certainly very at- tractive,

We ob- tained it by a ‘sport? from Louis Boehmer, and it partakes of all the good qualities found in that excellent variety. The coloris an exquisite shade of rosy-blush, changing to a delicate flesh pink as the flowers advanceinage. A description cannot convey the beauty of coloring found in this new variety. The delicacy of tinting is unsurpassed in any class of flowers within our knowledge. The soft, feathery growth peculiar tothe ‘Ostrich Plume’ class iseyven more pronounced than in any of its prede- cessors, and in this variety it has an additional charm. The growth referred tois usually a shade lighter than the body of the flower—the effect produced being asif a softly-tinted, lace- like webb or veil was thrown over the blooms, a unique and beautiful addition to its appearance. The flowers are of the largest size, and are borne on strong, vigorous stalks. The growth of the plant is all that could be desired. Taken allin all, we have no Reswtation in pronouncing it one of the finest va- rieties of the season.’
Price, 25 cents each.
The Pink ‘Ostrich Plume” Chrysanthemum, Louis Boohmer.— The “Louis Behmer”hasthe same wonderful hair-like growth or excrescence that appeared forthe first time in the white variety, ‘Mrs. Alpheus Hardy,” but it differs from itin color, being a most beautiful shade of lavender-pink, shaded with silvery-pink on the ends of the petals. The flowers are splendidly incurved, the inside of the petals are a deep rose, so that the contrast between their inner and outer surfaces is very decided, and adds greatly to the appearance of the flow- ers, For evening wear the ‘Louis Paehmer” will be sure to be in demand, as its color under gaslight is a soft, pleasing pink. Its flowers are enormous, being nearly double the size of “Mrs. Hardy.” and itis absolutely free from any taint or blight, so that itis certain to succeed under the most ordinary care. Awardeda silver medal at Philadelphia. Price, 15 cts.
New Yellow ‘Ostrich Plume”? Chrysanthemum, W. A. Manda,— We have secured from Japan a grand yellow, incurved, hairy variety of the“Ostrich Plume” class. The flowers are very large, of a beautiful, clear golden-yellow, incurved, and cov- ered with golden-yellow hairs. The plant is vigor us in growth, and the flower is borne upright on a stout stem. Thisisthe grandest introduction from Japan made Curing the past year,and no collection can afford to be without this variety. Price, 20 cents each.

The numerous petals arc y ell furnished with long glandular hair-like outgrowths, giving the flower a unique appearance, far surpassing in attractive- ness the celebrated Mrs. Alpheus Hardy. The plantisot a strong and vigorous habit, carrying the flower erect on a stout stem. Another great recommendation of this 1 cw variety is that the flower is sweetly scented. Price, 20¢ cach.
White ‘Ostrich Plume”? Chrysanthemum, Mrs. Alpheus Har’y.— No other Chrysanthemum has created the sensauuon wherever shown as has this most wonderful variety. The flowers ure very large, of thick substance, perfect shape, and belo: x to the incuryed Japanese section, while the color is the yurest white. Itis of immense size, broad petals, and incurved, the surface being downy, like loose-piled plush. The entire flow- er seems frosted with glittering white. Its unique chiracter consists in its fine downy appearance, which is produced by the glandular hairs which cover the petals, whi h has been frequently described by the press as producinr a fluffy effect. similiar to an ostrich feather. Probably no other variety of Chrysanthemum has ever attracted the same amovnt of at- tention and admiration at the various flower shows as the “Mrs. Alpheus Hardy.” It has received the highcst honors wherever exhibited. It has just been awarded the prize for best vase of Chrysanthemums at Madison Square Garden New York City, which shows that it is still in the lead. Price, 20 cents each.

In color it is deep bright gold of shining texture, is very large in size, the petalsare both long and broad,and channeled length- wise. A perfect Japanese incurved of most beautiful form, very free in growth. A first-class exhibition variety. We have al- ready booked orders for several thousand of this grand sort. Price, 25 cents each.
Good Gracious.—Another introduction from Japan, and so re-
markable for 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
hroughout. The form is remarkable,the petals are incur ved
nd twisted, overlapping each other in irregular fashion, and
esembling talons. Of all the splendid varieties introduced
trom Japan this is perhaps the most remarkable for size, form
and colov, and stands alone in its unique beauty, there being nothing at all approaching it.
Emily Ladenberg.—Iucurved Japanese bloom of large size and high-built, solid form. Deepest crimson, nearest approach to black; never burns as crimsons are apt to do: Strong, healthy habit.

Gettysburgh.—Thius is the richest deep crimson variety we have ever seen, and excels in its color as Golden Wedding does in yellow. The color is of 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 Gettys- burgh as a Chrysanthemum of rare merit.
Frank Thompson.—A splendid flower, very nearly spherical in form, petals very broad and heavy,and finely incarving. It is very nearly white in color, only showing a touch: f pear!- pink at the base of the petals. The gentleman tor whom it was named by Hugh Graham’g Sons sent to the raisers a val- uable silver cup, to show his appreciation of the magnificent flower named for him. Received first-class certificate at Philadelphia and Indianapolis. A strong grower. carrying flowers on stiff stems. The blooms of this variety sold at $9.00 per dozen over the counter in Philadelphia last Fall.
Wyndmoor.—A full and extremely double Japanese varie!y of largest size, without an eye, solid and well built, having heen grown ten inches across. Style and shape of Mrs. I. Clark, except in color, which is a rich chestnut red,similart» W. W. Coles, but brighter. Habit perfect for bush or exhibition bloom

Fuchsia, Black Prince.—The grandest of all Win- ter bloomers, Thisis really one of the most charming and desirable Fuchsias in cultiva- tion, and should be better known.

The habit of the plantis erect and compact, present- inga casiaans: neat and attractive appearance asa pot plant. The fine star-shaped flowers are produced in profusion, and begin when the plants are quite young; indeed, the plants in our houses in all stages are rarely seen without flowers. The tube and sepals are light sky blue. It blooms quite freely, plants in two-inch pots frequently producing flowers; but large, well established plants will bloom more freely and produce larger 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 was an object of beauty not soon forgotten. It isof the easiestculture, requiring 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 drooping, tube- like, brilliant flowers, and very large. green foliage, gives it a most striking and beautiful appearance. Price, strong plants, 15c each.

The Sun-Proof Geraniums.
(BRUANT RACE.)
A correspondent in ‘* American Florist” writes as follows in regard to this magnificent class of Geraniums: ‘“ This section of the Geranium family is awakening much interest among florists. Their distinctive point is the strong, heavy growth and iron con- stitution which carries them brilliantly through our trying hot weather amass of cool, bright foliage,ever crowned by a magnificent show of bloom on heavy foot-stalks. It goes without saying that Geraniums of this class, besides being unequaled as bedders, make extra fine pot plants also, and doubtless the next few years will add to their ranks ‘fancy’ sorts as finely colored and marvelously tinted as Gloire de France, L’Immortelle or Poete National of the ordinary type, while M. Alfred Mame and Mrs. E. G. Hill will, we think, never be surpassed in their particular line. Already quite an extended list of Bruants are found catalogued.” In the fol- lowing list are to be found the best of this class. Wehave a large stock of this fine class of Geraniums.

The popularity of the Geranium is constantly increasing, and with little wonder, since our best specialists are each year adding:

Nothing among flowers can exceed in beauty the “ English’ sorts with their circular florets of such great size and substance; the

The new American seedlings are results of crosses made between the very finest and most striking of the various sections, and are im every case novelties of sterling merit, selected from among many hundreds of seedlings. The French novelties are way up to the front and it seems hard to induce them to take a back seat in Geranium culture after

In this new Geranium, introduced last year, we believe we have the finest double white Geranium in cultivation, The Sin- gle Geraniums are valuable for bedding, and present a beautful effect in massing, but cannot be used for cut flowers on account of the petals falling. On the other hand, most of the double varieties of Geraniums are useful for cut-flowers. In La Favor- ite we have a pure, double, white Geranium, as free-flowering as the single varieties, and which can be used for planting in beds, for turnishing a supply of beautiful white flowers for vases,
etc., or for pot culture for Winter forcing. It is a dwarf, com- pact-growing variety, the foliage is a bright, healthy green, with a band of darker green encircling each leaf. The flowers are borne in large trusses, of the purest snow-white, retains this pure whiteness even in the height of Summer, and for Winter blooming it is all that can be desired. While “ White Swan” is a beautiful variety, yet La Favorite is quite in advance of it. Do not fail to add this charming variety to your collection. Price, 15 cents each; four for 50 cents ; $1.10 per dozen.

NEW DOUBLE GERANIUM, CENTAUR.
Yor? Me
l G
CENTAUR.
The new mammoth Centaur Double Geranium is the best large flowering double pink Geranium in cultivation. Any one seeing a specimen truss cannot fail to become enthusiastic over it, pro- nouncing it the largest and finest Geranium in cultivation. The new Centaur is remarkable for its stout, robust growth, and for its immense trusses of bloom. The foliage is very large, and of a light green color, with a band of darker green encircling each leaf. The flowers are borne on bold trusses of enormous size, almost spherical, and as many as sixty florets have been counted on a single truss. The color is the richest deep pink, shading
near the base of the petals to light pink, the base of the upper
etals creamy-white. In most large flowering Geraniums, when in full flower, the center of the truss is faded while new florets are coming into bloom around the circumference, but in the Cen- taur most of the florets bloom at once,and when in full bloom the truss is almost a spherical ball of rich, glowing pink. This variety is either suitable for bedding or pot culture. In bedding, although it does not throw as many trusses as the White Swan. it is continually in bloom, and the trusses are more than double the size. Price, 20 cents each; three for 50 cents.

Begonias. Flowering Varieties.
F YOUR window garden can accommodate only one plant, let it be one of the freest-flowering and largest-growing of this
class, Only under the very worst conditions do they become “ scraggy,” and you know how prone window plants are to this
condition, If you can grow a dozen sorts your delight will be increased twelve-fold. Give them a light soil, woods earth
some sharp sand and rich loam. A small amount of cow-yard manure may be used, if thoroughly decomposed, and will
very much heighten the rich coloring of the leaves, but in too large quantities, or if fresh, is very harmful. Donot allow the soil to become sodden (plenty of sand will prevent this) and do not give too much water. Begonias are not troubled with insects of any kind, only keep them free from dust. There is the greatest diversity of varieties, some sorts having five-pointed leaves a foot or eighteen inches across, while others have a foliage as fine asa sweet-briar, bearing a protusion of graceful, drooping racemes of rose? pink, white, crimson and bi-color buds and blossoms that are exceedingly attractive. Instead of describing our varieties, we wish we could point them out to you as they grow and bloom in our greenhouses. Many persons fear to attempt their culture, thinking them difficult to grow. How the idea originated we cannot imagine, for of all window plants these require the least care to keep in prime condition. Our collection is unexcelled.

Laing’s Celebrated Strain of Tuberous-Rooted Begonias.
Beo oF Laina’s CeLesraTeD TUBEROUS BEGONIAS.
Messrs. John Laing & Sons, of England, are celebrated the world over for fine Tuberous Begonias. You will find our col- lection the very best. Tuberous-Rooted Begonias are among the handsomest of our Summer flowering bulbs. They are not growu to the extent they should be, as they require no more care than Geraniums, have as fine a range of color, and will bloom continuously throughout the Summer, even when Geraniums droop through lack of moisture, and fail to unfold their flowers. Planted eitherin the rockery or flower border, they rival the Ge- raniums with their rich and varied colors, ranging from the most delicate shade of yellow and salmon to the most striking crim- son and scarlet. It has only been known the last few years what a wonderful bedding plant the Tuberous Begonia is.” They are as easy to keep and plant as a potato. Plant about Tune Ist, and you will have a_muss of beautiful foliage set off with unsur-
passed sprays of immense flowers, measuring from four to seven inches across. The shapely, glistening leaves gracefully droop
to the ground, and form a dense oval pyramid, c-owned with an unbroken mass of flowers, immense size, endless in color, from the warm, rich, burning scarlet, soft rose, golden-yellow, pure white, etc., making a most surprising sight to any one not fa- miliar with them. They are smothered with bloom the entire season. Thetuberscan be taken up and stored like a Tuberose, and when perfectly dry covered with sawdust. They do as well and produce as rich an effect as the finest stove or greenhouse plant. They should be in every collection. You will like them.

Rex Begonias—Older Kinds.
The Begonia Rex is the king of the foliage plants, far out- showing all others.

They require a warm, moist atmosphere, and shady situation. Suitable for wardian cases. Do not allow the sun to strike the leaves while wet, and do not over water.

THE GoopD & REESE Co.— Gentlemen: In the Spring of ‘90 L purchased from you a plant of the Otahette Orange. TI now have the pleasure of writing you about my success with it. On its arrival [ planted tt in rich soil in a common tomato can. It com-= menced to grow at once, and was soon covered with its beautiful, fragrant blossoms, which were fol- lowed by six nice oranges. The bush then was only one foot in height. I kept it growing by re- potting into larger cans and boxes until it has grown to be a nice- shaped, bushy little tree three feet high, and I counted on it Christ- mas day one hundred and eighty- seven oranges, in all stages of de- velopment, sixty-three of them be- ing a rich, golden-yellow. It is needless to say Ll am delighted with wt, as aside from the fruit I and my friends have had orange blossoms the year round, as it is almost constantly in bloom. It is very easy to grow and manage, and I cannot imagine a more love-

CITRUS TRIFOLIATA. (Japan's New Hardy Orange.)
An Orange as hardy as a Lilac must meet with an enthusiastic wel- ‘come from all flower lovers. This we have in the above extremely curious and beautiful Orange which has proved perfectly hardy—wsthout any protection—as far north as New York, Philadelphia and Illinois. Has wintered safely in the open ground the past two wintersin Maine and Michigan, and by competent judges is believed to be perfectly hardy in every portion of the United States. In the parks of New York and Phila- delphia, and in the government grounds at Washington, it has been growing, unprotected, tor years, where it annually blooms and fruits in a most profuse manner, It differs from other oranges, in having trifol- iate or clover-shaped leaves, larger and finer blooms than any other sort, and produced over a much longer season, frequently blooming two or three times during the Summer. The fruit is orange-red, about the size of a Mandarin Orange, and makes an excellent marmalade; and the juice, like that of a lemon, affords a refresh- ing drink, Itisa dwarf plant, forming a beauti- ful shrub from four to twelve feet high. And the magnificent appearance, on a lawn, of such a plant in full bloom, or weighed down by its brilliant and no less ornamental fruits, we leave to the imagination. Can be grown as pot or tub plant, and wintered in the cellar, or made to bloom in Winter. Asa stock on which to bud and dwarf the larger growing varietiesit is all that can be desired. As a hedge plant the value of this orange will be unlimited. The following extract is from an unimpeachable source and cannot be ques- tioned. Prof. W.F. Massey, of the N. C. College of Agricul- ture, writes in the Orchard and Garden: “1 have no doubt that the hedge plant of all others, for all parts of the country, has at last been found; and its adoption can only be a question of time. * * * This plantisatrue Orange. Don’t start and say non- sense, and that no orange can be hardy enough for this purpose, for this question has been settled. The plant I refer to is the Citrus Trifoliata. * * * The writer planted thirteen of these trees in the hills of Northern Maryland, in the spring of 1880, in alovality nearly 800 feet above tide water, but in a valley where frosts lay heavily. The following Winter these little plants» which were seedlings out of four inch pots, and had made long sappy shoots late in the Autumn, which were unripe when Win- ter set in, were exposed to a temperature of 18 degrees below zero and 4 degrees below at noon, with a bright sunshine and no snow on the ground, They were entirely unprotected during the whole of this spell, the coldest I ever knew, but were not injured in the least. These trees have never been protected,and are now in full bearing.” Price, strong, young, thrifty mailing trees, with fine, healthy roots, 20 cents each; three for 50 cents.

This plant is strictly a perpetual bloomer, as it is in flower at all times of the year, a good speci- men showing always from ten to thirty large saucer-shaped blos- soms, about three inches across. The plant seldom grows over ten inches in height, but inclines toa trailing habit, speading its branches out over the ground, or drooping over the sides of the pot, holding its large, silky flowers erect so that their unsurpassed beauty is seen to best advantage. Each blossom keeps perfect many days before fading, and when it drops others are out to take its place, and this succession of beauty is continued from one year’s end to another. The plant is a free grower, succeeding in any soil or situation, and commencing to bloom almost as soon as the cut- tings are rooted and potted. Asa window plant it combines great hardiness and ease of culture with unsurpassed beauty and delicate loveliness, and is truly a plant which has nosuperior. In the open ground it grows freely and blooms profusely all Summer, and, in fact, until Winter is upon it. Early frosts do not injure it and it blooms on and on until frozen solid with the ground or covered with snow. It is a plant whose

OXALIS ORTGIESI.
Few new plants will give better satisfaction than this, as 1t is a perpetual bloomer in every sense of the word. It is in full bloom every day in the year, when grown in a pot of good soiland With-ordinary care. It growsas freely as a Ge- ranium in any- situation. It is a shrubby plant, like a Geranium or Fuchsia without Bede: in which respect it differs from other Oxalis. It grows twelve to eighteen inchesin height, branch- ing freely and loaded at all times with clusters of bright, golden, star-shaped flowers, which do not close at night like other Oxalis. Beautiful as the flowers are, it is still a splendid plant without them, on account of its highly ornamental foli- age. The leaves are three-lobed, dark, olive- green above, and a beautiful shining metallic
crimson-purple underneath, and wine-colored ~
stems. This makes it a truly novel plant, as well as a very beautiful one, and it is surprising to see what attention it will attract. Price, 16 cents each; two for 25 cents.

The flowers are pure white, from five to six inches in diameter, emitting a rich Jessamine-like odor at night.

A beautiful plant, splendidly adapted for the decoration of drawing- rooms and halls, asit stands drouth and dust with impunity, and requires scarcely any water. The leaves, as shown in cut, grow to a length of three to four feet, and are beautifully striped cross-wise, with broad, white variegations on a dark-green ground. It is a rare and beautiful plant which should be abundantly grown for positions out of the reach of sun- light, where other plants will not thrive. When you consider that it can be placedin any position in any room and do well, its great usefulness is at once apparent. It has a singular beauty for decorative purposes which other plants do not possess, and is useful both Winter and Summer. Though grown mainly for the beauty of its foliage, it is by no meansan ipsignificant flowering plant. It blooms usually during Ray and June, sending up Eneatiplume: Uke spikes a foot or more in length. he flowers are numerous and composed of long, narrow petals, which recurve grace- fully, and are of a creamy-white color. It is difficult to find a more unique or ornamental plant than this, especially when it is in bloom. Price, fine plants, 20 cents each; three for 50 cents.

Chinese Hibiscus.
Large-growing tropical shrubs, with very glossy foliage. The plants under the hottest sun produce enormous flowers in great numbers, and make noble specimens. They can be grown in tubs, and kept for years. The blossoms average five or six inches in diameter, and are gorgeously colored. A very good way to make them bloom freely and to facilitate the lifting in the Fall is to transplant into a pot two or three sizes larger than the one that it has grown in,then plunge the pot altogether into the ground, the soil to cover the surface one or two inches. Sufficient nourishment can be found by the top and bottom roots to make the plant bloom well without starting it to grow too vigorously, and therefore to bloom less. Then inthe Fall the plant can be litted without injury and transplanted again and keptin a shady, cool place, until fully recovered, it will,in a warm,sunny window: in a warm room, bloom constantly. Price, 10 cents each, except where noted; six sorts, of our selection, for 50 cents.

The singular form,, gigantic size, striking colors and pleasant odor of the flower make this novelty most conspicuous. We have grown it at ournurseries during the past Summer, where it was seen by many of the Icad- ing seedsmen and florists of this country and Enu- rope, and was by all authorities considered the most desirable novelty of 1892-93. The plart is of a very robust habit. The stem is thick, dark- brown purple, shining as if varnished. The branches are very numerous, spreading symmet- rically three or four feet in every direction. The leaves are large, of a dark-green color.

Calla Ethiopica (Egyptian Lily).
This is the well-known Egyptian Lily, or Lily of the Nile, with large white flowers, broad foliage, and it will prosper under very adverse circumstances. It you want large Callas send to us, as we are headquarters forthem. We have three sizes, small plants, to bloom next Winter, 10 cents each; strong blooming bulbs, 25 cents each; extra strong bulbs that will produce a half dozen of bloom, 50 cents each,
Calla Richardia (Spotted Calla).
A plant with beautiful spotted leaves. It flowers abund- antly during the Summer months, when planted out in the epen border. The flowers are shaped like those of a Calla, and are pure white, shaded with violet inside. Keepdry in Winter, and start in Spring, like a Dahlia. The plant be- longs to the same order as Calla Ethiopica. Price, blooming bulbs, 25 cents each.
The New Black Calla.
The introducer says: “Among recent bulb introductions we doubt if there has in several years been anything brought out which isso eminently desirable asthis. Itisa bulb which has come to stay, and finds its way rapidly in every collec- tion of flowers. Its flowers are enormous, fully a foot in length. Colorclear,coal black,sointense thatit really shows a brilliancy, and, as may well be imagined, it isa flower of the most striking oddity and beauty. A person who possesses a bulb of this Calla has indeed a treasure, which will be the the envy of an entire neighborhood, The bulbs are large, and should be potted in the Fall, and when growth com- mences set ina window. After blooming, the foliage will die down, and the bulb should be kept dry for planting again in the Fall. In addition to its great beauty and oddity, it has a fine fruity fragrance. It isa native of the Holy Land. Treat same as tor White Calla Lily.”? This isa very beautiful Lily, we having flowered it extensively. It is coal black. and isa great curiosity. It is very scarce. Price of large flowering bulbs, 75 cents each. =

New Dwarf Ever-Bloom- ‘ ' ing Calla Lily,
It is our good fortune to have come into possesion of this most valuable of all Callas, The following facts will convince any one of its great superiority over the old sort: It is of a dwarf habit, and does not grow tall and scraggy like the old variety, but is compact, with a great abund- ance of lustrous, dark-green foliage. It is a true ever-bloomer, its flow- ers appearing in great abundance both Summer and Winter when grown in pots, or it will bloom pro- fusely all Summer long in the open ground and being potted in Septem- ber will continue blooming without intermission all Winter. The same p'ant will grow and bloom for years without once ceasing, and the quantity of bloom which a good plant will produce is astonishing. It is estimated that six plants of the old sort will not produce so many flowers in the course of a yearas will one plant of this new dwarf variety. A large plant is hardly ever without one or more flowers, and its dwarf, compact habit makes a much more desirable pot plant than the old variety. Its flowers are large size and snow-white in color. All in all itis one of the most de- sirable plants we ever offered. Bulbs of blooming size, 50 cents each: extra large size, 75 cts. each.

Plumbago, Capensis Flore Alba.—This is a splendid novelty. The exact counterpart of Plumbago Capensis exceptin color, which in this beautiful novelty is a clear white. This is one of the leading new plants of the year. Do not contound this with the old worthless white. One of the most satisfacto bedding plants out. We recommend this highly. Price, 1 cents each.
Plumbago, Capensis.—This produces large heads of light blue flowers. Has the most peculiar shade of blue of any flower in cultivation. Always in bloom,and an elegant bedder, Price, 15 cents each.
PLUMBAGO, LADY LARPENT.
This beautiful variety of Plumbago (P. Larpente) was first popularly introduced in 1890. Since that time it has so thorough- ly pleased all who have planted it, achieved such great popular- ity, which, coupled with our own thorough tests and observations, demonstrate that it is unquestionably the most distinct and valu- able hardy herbaceous plant now in cultivation. The plants are strong, upright in habit, growing to a height of twelve to fifteen inches in compact clumps, and from the middle of July until se- vere frost are covered with lovely rich violet-blue colored flowers borne in close terminal heads. (We had thousands in bloom on our grounds the past season as late as October 25th.) The foli- ' age is unique, finely serrated and fringing thestems. We heart- ily recommend this fine variety for edging walks, beds or bor- ders, or single specimens set in mixed flower vases or beds, where they appear in lovely contrast with other flowers.

-- THE BEAUTIFUL
Orchid + Water + Hyacinth,
This is undoubtedly the plant of all water plants for the masses, not only on account of its uniqueness and great beauty, but the limited amourt of space it occupies and the perfect ease with which it is grown. It floats on the water by means of its curiously inflated leaf stalks, which resemble bladders or balloons filled with air. A mass of beautiful feathery, blue roots grow downward in the water. It forms a lovely rosette of itscurious, shining green leaves, and throws up spikes of the most exquisite flowers imaginable, re- sembling in form a spike of Hya- cinth bloom, but as beautiful as many of the choicest: and most costly Orchids. Each flower is as large or larger than asilver dollar, in color a beautiful, soft lilac-rose, sparkling as if covered with dia- mond dust. The upper petal, whick is the largest, has a metallic blue blotch in the center, and in the center of that a small,deep gold- en-yellow spot. Our cut conveys no idea of the beauty of the Bite of flowers, which is often six or eight inches in length and three inches in diameter. Can be grown in the open air in Summer and in the window in Winter in any- thing which will hold water. In the window the most beautiful effect is produced by using a glass vessel of some sort, with shell and white sand so arranged in the bot- tom as to conceal a smal] amount of soil. In Summer it can be grown in the yard in a pool or tuk of soil and water, and will bloom most profusely. Its introduction into Europe created a great sensa- tion, and it has received unstinted praise there. We recognize it as a novelty of decided merit. Price, fine plants, 20 cents each; three for 50 cents.
RUBUS GRANDIFLORA.

New Double White PerpetualFlow- ering Violet, Swanley White, or ueen of Fragrance.—Of all the White Violets this is the best, either for pot culture in the house or bedded out. In pots it grows luxuriantly and is loaded with flowers.

gant and charming flowers in the yard with no trouble after once setting them out. Between two and three years ago we learned of a species of Hymenocallis growing wild where every Winter the mercury goes below zero, and the ground is frozen solid far below the bulbs. We had some of the bulbs sent to a corre- spondent in Illinois with the request that they be planted outin the open ground for trial, and the result is they passed through the past two Winters safe'y without a particle of protection. They bear an abundance of white flowers equally as beautiful and fragrant as the other speci: s. The beauty of a clump of them established in a yard is better imagined than described. Bulbs should be set about twelve inches deep, and they willbe better for protection. Fine blooming size bulbs, 30 cents each.

THE NEW GLADIOLUS, “SNOW-WHITE,”
It is the best white Gladiolus ever grown. The flowers are well-formed, and have a paper whiteness we have never seen in any other sort. The flowers are of exceptional substance, last- ing a remarkable length of time when cut. Every flower on the spike can be used individually for cut-flower work. The spikes are of good size, set solidly and perfectly with the florets from bottom to top. The petals are gracefully recurved, and in many cases beautifully crisped. Under ordinary circumstances nearly the entire flower is a perfect paper-white. with a slight cream shade on lower half of the lower petal. A faint line of purple extends about half way through the lower petal. For withstand- ing dews, rains, hot sunshine without changing color, we have never seen its equal. It is not good one week and stained with pink and purple the next, like all the other light-colored Gladioli we have ever seen. It comes just the sarne each year, We have seen a field in August under the most trying blazing sun appear almost like a field of snow. To get the largest flowers and spike, cut off all but one spike. Price, 20 cents each; three for 50 cents.

The Hardy Chinese Matrimony Vine.
The old-fashioned Matrimony Vine was a general favorite more than fifty years ago, but in beauty of flower, fruit and foliage it cannot w th this superb variety. Itisamost vigorous hardy climb~ ing plant when trained to an arbor, fastened to a fence, attached to a tree, to the side of a house, the pillars of a piazza, or in any location where a hardy, vigorous climber is desired. It sends out numerous side branches, so that it covers a great amount of space in a short time, and every new growth is at once covered with bright purple flowers, which are succeeded by brilliant scarlet berries near- ly an inch long, every branch being loaded with them, The con- trast between the glossy, dark-green foliage and shining scarlet fruit is extremely beautiful, surpassing Holly in appearance. Itcon- tinues flowering and new berries are forming from late Spring until frost. The berries ripen in early Autumn and remain on the vine late into the Winter. The number of our hardy Vines which can be grown without danger from frost in our Northen States is limited, and none are more beautiful than this or as easy of culture. It will grow and thrive in any situation, either shade or bright sunlight, and will take root in any soil. In fact, nature has given it all the es- sentials for wide popularity. Valuable as it is for covering fences, €tc.,it is even more desirable for clambering over stone walls. bare rocks or unsightly banks, covering them quickly with bright green foliage, and later on rendering them objects of beauty with its wealth of scarlet berries and purple flowers. This splendid vine was illustrated and highly recommended in ** Garden and Forest,” one of the most conservative publications in the horticultural press.

NEW DWARF FRENCH LARGE FLOWERING CANNAS.
French Cannas.
This new class of Cannas, introduced by Monsieur Crozy, of France, are very dwarf in habit, while theirfoliage is very luxuri- ant and varied in color, from the lightest pea-green to the dark rich bronze. But their great merit consists in the form and great sizeand dazzling brilliancy of their flowers. These colors range through all shades of yellow and orange to the richest crimson, scarlet and vermilion. Many are beautifully spotted, some are striped and flaked. They flower freely from seed the first season if the seed issownearly. The seed shells are round, the size of a good-sized bullet, hence the name, Indian Shot. They are very hard, and some soak them in water for several hours before planting, but the best way we have found to be is to take a coarse file and file a hole through the shell, thus allowing the passage of water to the seed, which in swelling breaks through the hard covering.

Good & Reese’s Evergreen Lawn Grass Seed.
~ For permanence, for beauty under all circumstances,and for value, we are confident Good & Reese’s Evergreen Lawn Mixture will meet all requirements. Many of the European grasses have been neglected because of their high price, but their value for j@wn purposes in this country has been demonstrated so clearly that their use will be rapidly extended. By a judicious use of some of the Fescues and other foreign grasses with the standard lawn grasses of America we are enabled to offer to our cus- tomers a mixture which for all good staying qualities is unsurpassed. Modern lawns demand grasses that are able to stand the wear and tear consequent to their use for Lawn Tennis, Croquet, etc.
Many of our native grasses grow luxuriantly during early Spring and late Fall, but are valueless during the dry midsummer months. Special attention has been given in this mixture to incorporate only such varieties as are able to withstand prolonged drought and present at all times a green and healthy sward.
Price, by mail, postage paid, 30 cents per quart; by express, $3.50 per bushel of twenty pounds, at purchaser’s expense. Ne discount on Lawn Grass Seed.

; Tree Blackberry. y EVERBEARING TREE, OR TOPSY BLACKBERRY.—For a Blackberry it is the largest, finest flavored, most’prolific, fruiting for two months and requires no stakes. This fine novelty is sure- ly one of the most desirable new things we ever offered, and what we say of it we speak from what we have seen and what we have tested, and not from what others say. It grows from 5 to7 fect high, branching freely into fine tree form, straight and erect requiring no stakes. The berries are of enormous size, equalled only by the Eric; borne in great clusters which commence to ripen early in July and continue into September, making its fruit- ing period fullytwo monthsor more. The finest Blackberries we ever ate we picked about September 1st from some _ of these plants which had been ripening fruit since July 8th. They are exceedingly sweet, juicy and delicious, melting in the mouth without a particle of hard core. Its delicate flavor, great pro- ductiveness, enormous size, long season of bearing and perfect hardiness iu the coldest part of the country, make it the most valuable of all berries for family use. Price, 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents; 7 for $1.00.
THE NEW JAPANESE WINEBERRY.—We think quite favor- ably of this great novelty. Prof. Georgeson, of the Japanese Agricultural College, found it while traveling in the interior of Japan, and he was so much impressed with it that he sent seed to this country to be grown, as he considered it would be a valuable addition to our hardy fruits. We quote from the description of the introducer: “It belongs to the raspberry family, isa strong vigorous grower, attaining the usual height of a Raspberry, and is perfectly hardy in all positions without protection. It is, in fact, more hardy and vigorous than any Raspberry or Black- berry. It stands alike the cold of the Northern Winters and the heat of the Southern Summers, without the slightest degree of in- jury. Itsleaves are of the darkest green outside and silvery- white underneath, The young shoots and branches are covered with a reddish-brown hair of moss. The fruit is borne in large <lusters, often seventy-five to one hundred berries in a bunch. These berries are from the time of formation and bloom until they ripen enclosed in a ‘burr? which is formed by the calyx ‘covering them entirely. When ripe the burr opens, exhibiting a large berry of the brightest, light, glossy scarlet or sherry wine color. The burrsand stems are covered with a heavy reddish moss, like a Moss Rose bud. The flavor ot the fruit is entirely unlike any other berry, being very sprightly, sweet and juicy, having no disagreeable sour, buta delicate and Juscious fiavor peculiar to itself and superior to other berries. It is very juicy and makes the finest quality of wine. It commences to ripen in the early part of July, and continues in bearing fora long time. {tisthe most prolific berry known, the bushes being literally covered with its luscious fruit.” Price, 20 cents each; three for 50 cents; twelve for $1.50.
RUSSIAN MULBERRY.—This valuable fruit and ornamental trce was brought to this country from Western Russia by the Mennonites. The tree isa very rapid grower. Trees. the seed of which was planted six years ago, are now twenty feet in height, and from six to eight inches in diameter. The tree grows to be very large, often reaching the height of fifty fect, and from three to five feet in diameter, and is perfectly tapas: It commences to bear when two years old, and is 4 prolific bearer, the fruit being about the size of blackberries. They have a fine, aromatic flavor, and sub-acid sweet taste, and are used for dessert as we use Blackberries or Raspberries, Branches drooping, and perfectly hardy. A beautiful quick growing tree for the lawn, while the fruitis valuable for table use. This is truly a grand tree, both for ornament and fruit. Fine, healthy trees, which will fruit ina year or two, by mail or express. Price, 25 cents each; two for 40 cents
RASPBERRIES — Cuthbert.—(Queen of the Market.) The leading late market variety, and the best red Raspberry in gen- eral cultivation. Berries large, dark crimson, quite firm-and of good flavor. Price, 10 cents each; ten for 50 cents.
yy Souhegan.—(Black.) The earliest black Raspberry, and the leading early market sort. Fruit of good size, jet black, with little bloom, firm, and of sweet, pleasant flavor. Price, 10 cents
each; ten for 50 cents.
Golden Queen.—The most popular and best yellow Raspberry yetintroduced. Of large size, great beauty, high quality, hardi- ness and productiveness. In size it exceeds even the Cuthbert. Beautiful, trans ucent amber color, and exceptionally firm. Its productivencss is simply marvelous. It is the most valuable Raspberry tor the amateur,and no home garden is complete without it. Its beauty, size, and fine quality render it indispensa- ble for table use. Price, ten cents each; ten for 50 cents. .
The New and Wonderful Everbearing Raspberry, Earhart.—Of this wonderful new berry the introducer says: “The fruit is of large size, jet black, and good quality, the first crop ripening the last of June. About this time the first of the new canes begin to bloom, and ripen fruit until frost, producing heavy cropsas late as September and October. It is a strong grower, with corru- gated foliage of dark greencolor, and has never been known to Winter kill.’? Our experience with this berry has been highly pleasing. The Spring of 1887 we set out one thousand very small tip plants which started at once into a strong growth and commenced fruiting in August, and continued until frost, pro- ducing remarkably fine berries,in enormous clusters, as shown in the cut, which was made from a bearing canein October. We were surprised to see any fruit at all the firstSummer on so small plants. It is certainly a perpetual bearer, and we believe has all the good points claimed for it. It wintered in an exposed posi-

i i t a cane being killed. In fact,it is the hardiest sort ee es Last Satpaithe yield of fruit was marvelous, It commenced to ripen July 1st, and is bearing enormously, and will continue until frost. We consider it in all respects a menly valuable sort on which too much praise cannot be bestowed. Every one speaks highly of it. The Rural New 1 orker of Octo- ber 23, 1886, speaks in glowing terms of it. It says that one cane Sepember 1st had three hundred and eighty berries, one-third fully ripe. Price, 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents; 7 for $1.00; 12
for $1.50.
New Everbearing Raspberry, Earhart,
DEWBERRIES.—In this new fruit (which might be called a climbing Blackberry) we have the most delicious of all berries, and one of the most ornamental of all climbing vines. They should be trained on a trellis or tied to a stake ffke grape vines. In the Spring they produce great masses of large, pure white, sweet-scented flowers, which are followed by clusters of delicious fruit, larger, richer, and far more prolific than blackberries, Very juicy and sweet tothe core. The fruit is borne in great qu intity, and is admitted by all to be the finest of all berries. When made into wine it gives a gentle stimulant, which for in- valids is unequaled, the flavor of the wine being as superior as the flavor of the fruit. Itis perfectly hardy, anddoes not sucker from the roots, but is increased f-om the tips like Blackcap Rasp- berries. It will thrive in very poor soil. This valuable berry in a few years will be everywhere planted as the finest of all small
it. — Lucretia.—A new sort of immense size and delicious quality. Berries two and one-half inches in length, and borne in great clusters. Very juicy and sweet. The most valuable small fruit produced in ten years. Price, 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cencs; 7 for $1.00.

\ Moyer.—Extra early, ripening three weeks ahead of Concord. Color a deep bright red, and sweeter than Delaware, a sort which it somewhat resembles, Perfectly hardy, having originated in Canada, very heaithy, vigorous and productive.
