This beautiful novelty isin the way of La France, but deeper in color, more expanded in form, and larger in size. The flowers are deep even pink, very large and full, highly perfumed, and in all respects of first quality. The growth of the plant is exceedingly vig- orous, the habit is good, and the flowers, which are thrown up well above the foliage, are produced in extra- ordinary profusion; the plants continually covered with handsome blooms. We believe that this rose, when generally cultivated, will rank equal with La France, as it is agorgeous garden rose, and at the same time of splendid quality as an exhibition flower. oe EMERSON RIT LEV Ee oe ney eh ean analel aid a'e'my ancl os3 a eicjea ois ave ecaguie'e a's 6 sWinidin'c sre'e ee s/bisie a 800 doje se cess ceed 30 00 3-inch ‘S Sn ra re tet ta ates hte amis nae 8) Sen iva ee ala nites oh wicle Sia}e cieinie aa ee aletele Siatsin eos iscaw as lees cee 25 00 WHITE PERLE. This, Mr. Ritter, the originator, claims is a sport from Perle des Jardins; it is of strong, vigorous growth, producing freely, very fine, white blooms. We do not recommend this for forcing, but it isa most remarkable bedding variety for production of buds during summer in the open ground. eg EPee MIMBO LENPSNISUS Choe ns tte eatnecc so atm cscie cla eee sinters ¢, 3/0 ors siaraie Wie sis, o-cro,clare.cluinic ww cinssitysimsiak mpieete «ties Oe Sa ee - 10 00 4inch ‘ mW Bee 5 ioe eet eee ee id be ied.

Flowers semi-double, produced in clusters of three to six. Buds long and pointed, similar to Niphetos in shape, and in color pure white. Remarkably free blooming, and will prove hardy where the thermometer goes to zero and a little lower. It forms a handsome bush for lawn and yard planting, and will prove of great value where white flowers are in use. ee AC IOUS co 5 ciawiine vid odasic's's caine oma s's APES a eee Be re ee SBA ae sete isl inde are 15 00 4-inch SE RBE OTL on a ae'dinew onic ema Ie vice a etaeie acts miner's) ate ate © ele sybict wins «ait Mi oporm mw al winahepatale'e.aye ela ac ayerere Moi 25 00 DR.

This rose was sent out as a pure Tea, butis very like the H. T. class in many respects; it has very large heavy dark green leaves, is a bushy upright grower, and bears its flowers in great profusion in crops—and fine flowers they are; they begin by being beautiful in bud, but the open flower is the crowning glory; it is so double there seems no room for another petal; those on the outside being very large, and graduating toward the center where the bloom is slightly quartered; the color is a soft shade of shell pink, brightest at the center, and strikes the fancy of every beholder. Itis sweet scented. eM IE o oticise cb oe fap oe aon = acl sine co's ole we maieine set veloc esiein¥ decree seeias vee sinyet cessiciewselasiieesevcas 15 00 PAC INEH © on. oe cc ener ccneccns sac cccwscessvseses cc ecns sccces cccaceceses beeens caseeseusesesscucsccsees 10 00 4 HILL’S WHOLESALE LIST, FALL OF 1889.

Sunset is a ‘‘sport’’ from that grand old variety Perle des Jardins, which it strongly re- sembles, exceptin color. The flowers of large size, fine full form, very double and deliciously rerfumed. The color is a remarkable shade of rich golden amber, elegantly tinged and shaded with dark ruddy copper, intensely beautiful, and resembling in color a splendid ‘“‘after glow.” Sunset is a constant and profuse bloomer, and, taken altogether, is one of the finest roses recently introduced. 3-inch pots, strong........- The Bride.

Note: Mr. Bruant raises new Geraniums in all the different classes, but we have been careful to keep what he styles the ‘‘Bruant Race” separate from the other varieties he has raised and offered in the ordinary types of single and double zonals. we 2 The varieties belonging to this Race are all, without exception, capital bedding varieties, standing our hot suns finely The great popularity of the varieties ‘‘Bruant,’’ Francois Arago, Protee, and Mme. Alfred Mame, have caused wide-spread interest in this class in our country. We are safe in saying that it has been through our calling attention to these varieties and our efforts to get them into cultivation that has led to their being so widely and appreciatively known. We have encouraged Mr. Bruant to push for new colors in this beautiful class, and in conversation with him the past August he expressed the hope of soon having a pure white. In a large bed at the Exposition grounds in Paris the ‘‘Bruant’’ varieties were the most distinct and noticeable and there were some hundreds of varieties planted in the bed in question MRS. E. G. HILL. A most distinct and pleasing shade of salmon, with light shading at the centre; the shading at the centre is variable however. Trusses are very large and composed of an immense number of florets. A single variety. TOUR EIFFEL. Color bright orange scarlet, somewhat in the way of the variety Bruant. It isa strong vigor- ous grower, making a distinct place for itselfin its class. Semi-double. Del Rosso. A clear brilliant salmon, shading lighter at the edges of the flower. Very free blooming either bedded or in pots. Of dwarf compact habit. Semi-double. Mon. P. Olombel. Rich vermillion scarlet with orange shadings. An attractive variety carrying immense spherical trusses of flowers. Single flowered. GLOIRE POITEVINE. Large trusses of immense size. Rich red shaded orange with a white eye. Very vigorous and free. M. EMILE BARR. Large finely formed flowers, borne in immense trusses. Vermillion red flowers. Fine for massing. Single flowered. A very attractive and showy variety. MADAM DE LA ROQUE.

Very fine. Semi-double flowers. 8 HILL’S WHOLESALE LIST, FALL OF 1889. Le Primatice. Plant dwarf and bushy. Flowers large on long footstalks or stems. Color soft crimson scarlet most beautiful and pleasing. M. Noury. A most pleasing lavender rose color, very chaste and beautiful, with distinct marking of white at centre of flower.

Plants ready October 15th. Price 35 cents each or the 12 beautiful new ‘‘Bruants” for $2. 00, one of each kind. OLDER VARIETIES OF RACE “‘BRUANT.”’ _Bruant. Semi-double. The finest and most remarkable variety for bedding purposes in the market. Soft brilliant scarlet, with yellowish cast. 21¢ inch pots $6.00 per 100. M. Alfred Mame. Another fine bedding variety. Florets very large, and |jof a very bright red color; the trusses are of good size and freely produced; the habit of the plant is strong, like the double variety ‘‘Bruant.”’ Novelty of this year. $10.00 per 100. Baron du Puynode. Extra large florets borne on strong footstalks in immense trusses. Color orange-ver- milion, white center or eye. Stands the heat and sun well. $38.00 per 100. Blanche Moulas. Very light salmon, edged and bordered white. This will prove a grand bedding variety of wonderful merit. $10.00 per 100. Protee. Flowers very large, and freely produced in immense trusses. Color silvery lilac, white shading changing tosilvery pink. A splendid new sort. $8.00 per 100. Francois Arago. Flowers finely formed, a free bloomer, on strong footstalks; color silvery salmon, shaded peach. Belongs to the Bruanti section, as shown distinctly by its foliage. $8.00 per 100. : Heteranthe. Semi-double. Very similar indeed to Bruant but of aless brilliant hue. The two varieties have got so mixed up that it is difficult to tell one from the other. We hada bed of 100 each growing side by side last season, when the Bruant showed a much brighter scarlet and was less in height than Heteranthe. $5 00 per 100 NEW FRENCH GERANIUMS FOR 1890. Mme. la Comtesse de Pot. Plant of very dwarf and compact growth, bearing large trusses of flowers on long stems. Salmon flesh color bordered with white. Does finely asa bedder. Very fine. Single flowered. La Vestale. Here we have the long looked for pure white that does not tinge in our hot suns. We have given this an extended trial the past few months and we unhesitatingly recommend this variety. It has large trusses of purest snow white flowers. It is exceedingly free flowering and we think this one of the finest of M. Lemoine’s productions. Single. Soleil Couchant. Plant very dwarf and free flowering. Large round flowers of a bright yellow scarlet color. In this we have some marked points leading to the yellow Geranium of the future. The finest of this color. Single flowered. L’Immortel. Plant very dwarf and bushy, very free blooming, producing trusses of unusual size. Color lavender and vinous rose, with darker markings. Centre very peculiarly shaded. A most interesting and novel variety. Marguerite de Layres. We have a most beautiful pure white Zonal in this splendid variety. It seems as though Messrs. Bruant and Lemoine were running a race on single white Geraniums; for in this and the e variety La Vestale of Lemoine we have two superb varieties for this year. There is little choice between the two, butif anything, La Vestale perhaps leads, for the open ground, whilst Marg. de Layres is finest for pot culture. Mme.laComtess de la Baume. A beautiful rose colored variety. A splendid bedding sort of unusual promise. Alb2rt Gaudiry. Beautiful light rose in color with a distinct white eye. Very dwarf, compact bushy growth producing a fine effect when massed. A most telling sort. Catulle Mende>. Flowers excecdingly large, borne on stout stems in immense trusses. Deep dark rose with large white markings on the upper petals. A most beautiful and free flowering variety. There is no end to new varieties for this autumn but we have thought best to select the very choicest and to hold for further trial the varieties less promising Weknow the varieties offered above are desirable new kinds and will please our customers. $3.00 per doz. Most of this set can be sent at once. SOU. DE MIRANDE. The greatest novelty in new Geraniums that has appeared for a number of years is undoubtedly Sou. de Mirande. Itis entirely distinct from any other variety known, and is quite different from the usual marked varieties that have from time to time made their appearance. It has round florets, upper petals cream white with a distinct rosy pink border, lower petals salmon rose, streaked with pure white. A most novel color. It is extremely free flowering and produces fine trusses of its magnificent blooms. Mr. John Thorpe said at Buffalo meeting that it had made a leap of a decade in its advent. We shall not be able to sell or offer this unique sort before the first of the year, not but what we have stock, for we have as large a stock as any one in the United States, and we have an importation of some hundreds coming from Europe. We shall be able at that time to furnish it in quantity to all who may wish it at a reason- able figure. Price on application. Orders booked and filled in rotation. HILL’S WHOLESALE LIST, FALL OF 1889. 9 DOUBLE VARIETIES OF 1888. A number of the new kinds in last year’s varieties have turned out unusually well and are varieties of sterling worth.
