04
6Y B. McGREGOR

Maman Cochet.

Tea Rose, PERLE DES JARDINS.

Without doubt the finest Rose in cultivation. Canary
or golden yellow flowers and beautifully formed. Hand-
some in every stage of development, from the smallest
bud to the open flower. Price, 6 cents each; 60 cents per
dozen; $4 per hundred.

Great Forcing Rose, __ een

CATHERINE MERMET.

A beautiful, clear, rich color, with the same silvery
ustre seen in La France. Large, well formed Very
beautiful in bud. One of the most popular Roses for cut
flowers. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per

hundred.
GUSTAVE NADAUD.

(Soupert & Notting.) A free branching grower, with
large, double flowers. The outside petals are large and
rounded, giving it an exquisite cup-shape. Color, vermil-
ion, with clear touches of carmine-lake, and soft pink
centers Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen: $4 per

undred.

New Tea Rose, MISS WENN.

_This charming variety is noticed at once for its ex-
quisite color, which seems entirely distinct from almost
all other Roses of our acquaintance. We can call it a
clear coral-pink, a most nove: and distinct shade of color
very difficult to describe. The French call it China pink.
It is certainly a very beautiful color, and full and exquis-
itely Tea scented. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen:
$4 per hundred. :

Crimson Forcing Rose, METEOR.

A velvety red ever-bloomer, of the deepest glowing
erimson. As fine as a Hybrid; flower of medium size,
very double, and petals siightly recurving. A beautiful
open Rose, a free bloomer and promising well as a pot
Rose. It has no tinge of violet or purple to mar its beau-
ty. It promises to be a reliable ever-bloomer, free from
bad qualities. The best rich red Rose that was ever in-
troduced for florists’ use. The usual demand for this
forcing Rose has caused us to grow them in large quan-
tity, and we offer them in two sizes. Nice, strong two-and-
achall ich pots, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $4 per

undred.

New Tea Rose, MAMAN COCHET.

One of the best new Roses. The growth is vig-
orous, with rich, healthy foliage. The extra large
flowers are produced on long stems, are very*®
double, and the buds and half expanded flowers
are simply exquisite in their graceful form, deli-
date color and rich fragrance. The color is deep
rose-pink. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen;
$3 per hundred.

New Tea Rose, J. B. VARRONE.

A fine grower, flowers very large and double,
with high center, opening from long buds. Color
a soft China rose, changing to bright, deep car-
mine of even shading. An extra good Rose and j
very sweet. Much superior to Luciole, which it
greatly favors, but of a better growth and much
freer in blooming qualities. A grand new Rose. j
Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $4 per hun-

dred.
Forcing Rose, THE BRIDE.

This is decidedly the most beautiful white Tea
Rose. Itisa sport from Catharine Mermet, with
which it is identical in growth and shape of flow-
ers. The flowers are very large and double, on
long, stiff stems, of fine texture and substance,
and lasts a long time in a fresh state after being
cut, making it one of the best varieties for corsage
wear or bouquets. During extreme hot weather
it becomes a pinkish-white, at other times a beau-
tiful pure white. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per
dozen; $3 per hundred.

New Tea Rose, GEN. ROBT. E. LEE.

(Introducer’s description.) This is the first
Rose we have introduced, and we are sure it will
please all who try it. It is in color an orange-
yellow, after the color of La Capucine, only richer
and better. Itisa good grower, has elegant, long
buds, borne on long stems, and will produce more
buds than any other Rose we know of. It forces
easily, being at its best in mid-Winter. There is

no veriety that will compare with it in all the
qualities that go to make up the ideal Rose. The color is so pecu-
liar and rich that it attracts attention wherever seen. Price,
6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.

The Meteor.

ZA Ztjjy WULF) i The Great Tulip Rose of
Zttztjy fff YG PLSD Europe,

THE BEAUTIFUL
Madame de «
e Watteville.

This.grand new ever:
bloo g Rose is one of
the most beautiful vari.
eties we have ever sent
out, and is very largely
planted by those whe
know its beauty. The
color is a remarkable
shade of creamy yellow,
richly colored with
rosy blush. Thepetals
are large and each onsé
widely bordered with
bright crimson, which
givesit avery striking
and beautiful appear-
ance. The flowers are
large, very full, and
highly perfumed. This
is the Tulip Rose, se
eslled because of the feathery shad-
ing of bright rose around the edge
of every petal, the body of the petal
being creamy-white and of heavy
texture. Price, 6 cents each; 50
cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.

Tea Rose,

SNOWFLAKE.

It isa lovely new white Tea; the
freest flowering Rose we have ever
seen. The Rose was introduced by
C. Straus & Co., of Washington, D.
C., and by them grown in large
quantities for cut flowers; they
claim it the most profitable white
Rose they grow; that they had
counted one hundred and fifty-three
buds and flowers on one plant in a
j single day, and the plant less than a

é 4 year old. Price. 6 cents each; 50

The Yellow Rambler.
The Fine New Climber, _.-.-_ —_——""~_

& & 2 Climbing White-Pet.

This is an unusually vigorous grower and
a wonderfully profuse bloomer. It is re-
markable for the rapidity ofits growth and
freedom of bloom. Tne flowers are very
double and full, of medium size, pure, snowy-
white, and borne in large clusters, continu-
ously throughont the whole season. Price,
50c per dozen; $3 per hundred.

The New Climbing Rose, @A@A

w& & w& Empress of China.

This is a new Climbing Rose of the great-

est excellence. It was brought to this
country by a gentleman from China, who
says of it that it commences to bloom in May,
and is loaded withits elegant blooms until ie
December. Think of it! There is no other : ;
Rose like it that will bloom for so long a time. This has
been the great cbjection to Climbing Roses, that they bloom
once and then are done. But here we have a Rose that
blooms continuously for over seven months of the year.
Color shell-pink. It is perfectly hardy, andisa continuous
grower. Price, 50c per dozen; $3 per hundred.

Grand New Velvety=Red Rose,

w & & CLIMBING METEOR.

All who know ‘“‘General Jack” will call to mind its
beautiful, high colored, rich, velvety-red buds and flowers.
Ciimbing Meteor is the acme of all red Climbing Roses. It
is a free, persistent bloomer and will make a growth of
from ten to fifteen feet in a season; in bloom all the time,
as it is a true ever-bloomer. We do not hesitate to place it
at the head of the list of all Roses for Summer blooming, as
it will make a strong growth and literally loaded with its
deep, rich, red flowers all the time. Its flowers are much
larger than Meteor and are richerin color. It is just the

-Rose to train up the verandas or around windows where
its great beauty will show up to good advantage. Price,
60c per dozen: $4 per hundred.

SESSOSOSOOSOOCOSO

See fink Rambler Aaa—

(Euphrosyne)—Originate by the same gentleman who
produced White Rambler, Mr. Peter Lambert, end is of the
same blood. What is said of White Rambler applies equal-
ly to this, except the color of the flowers is pure shiny rose
—the partially open buds being bright, light carmine, thus
producing a strong and pleasing contrast. ‘Che numerous
yellow stamens lend an additional charm tothe flower. In
hardin-ss; freedom of bloom; form and color of flowers and
vigorous climbing habit, this variety 1s) fully ;the equal of
Crimson Rambler.” Price, 50c per dozen;:$4 per hundred. °

She Yellow Rambler

(Aglaia)—The advent of the Yellow Rambler marks a
very important epoch in the Rose world. It was originat-
ed by the prominent Rose grower, Mr. Peter Lambert,
who has carefully tested it for some eight years, and first
offered it to the public only this last season. Its production is a
great triumph in the art of hybridizing. The Yellow Rambler
has been found to successfully withstand, without protection, a
continued temperature of from zero to two degrees below. The
flowers are borne in immense clusters, after the same manner as
the Crimson Rambler, often asmany as one hundred and fifty
blossoms in a bunch, and the trusses have the same handsome
pyramidal shape as those of the Crimson Rambler. The color is
a decided yeliow. Many Roses which are described as yellow
have really only a creamy tinge, but the Yellow Rambier is

Bes Goer ees : clear, decided yellow.
. , Si

The flowers are very
sweet-scented; habit of
growth is very vigor-
ous, well-established
plants often making
shoots of from eight to
ten feetin height in a
singleseason. The
plants do not: bloom at
quite so early anage<s
the Crimson Rambler,
but as soon as well es-
tablished, they more
than make up for this
by the magnificence of
the flowers they pro-
duce. Price, 50c per
doz.; $3 per hundred.

aN V> |

White Rambler.

(Thalia)—Of German
origin, andin habit of
growth, foliage,manner
of blooming, form of
flowers and hardiness,
it is said to be identical
with Crimson Rambler,
of whichit is a blood
relative, but that the
flowers are pure snow
white and sweetly
scented, which the flow-
ers of Crimson Rambler
are not. The flowers
“remain on the bush
from three to _ five
weeks; beautiful to be-
hold.’ Price. 50 cents
per dozen; $3 per hun-
dred.

NEW ROSE

# Crimson Rambler.

This superb novelty is of the Polyantha
class, and was originally received from
J apan. The flowers are produced in great
Pyramidal panicles or trusses, each carry-
ing from thirty to forty blooms, the indi-
vidual flower measuring about 1 to 1%
inches in diameter and remaining perfect
on the plant for upwards of two weeks
with their freshness of color unimpaired.
The foliage is bright green and glossy, and
contrasts finely with the bright crimson of
the flowers. Itis said to be exceedingly
hardy, having successfully withstood the
test in exposed situations of two very
severe Wintersin England. We can rec-
ommend this novelty in the strongest man-
ner as being anew Rose of great import-
ance and value. Price, 50c per dozen; $3
per hundred.

Forcing Rose BRIDESMAID.

Anew Rose. A sport from that old standard,
Catherine Mermet. This variety retains all the good
qualities of the parent, besides adding charms not
possessed by the sweet Catherine. All know that
Catherine Mermet takes precedence as a pink Rose.
More plants of it are cultivated by the amateur and
more cut blooms are sold by the flower dealer of it -

than any pink Rose. Why? Because the bud is of ss EY
yP y ~

exquisite Shape and contour, so solid and firm, and
the stems are so solid and stiff that no other Rose will °
compare with it in keeping qualities after being cut. It
has, though, with all these good qualities, a serious de-
fect, namely, ‘off color.’ Thisis more noticeable in dark,
cloudy weather, butitistrueof the Rose at all times.
Now, this is why the Bridesmaid will supersede the Mer-
met. It is about two shades deeper in color, just enough
to make it bright; anditisthe same color all the time
under every condition of weather and surroundings.
Price, strong two-and-a-half inch pots, 6 cents each; 50 cents
per dozen; $3 per hundred.

7 BZZEN \\\

This grand, new, ever-blooming Rose was raised from Madame Z BA AS
Lambert and Countess Riza du Parc, and named in honor of the great A BA ANS .
African explorer, and is recommended as a charming variety of un- Za AA AN |
usual beauty and permanent value. The color isa rare shade of amber Zz 2 NS
rose, delicately tinged with apricot-yellow towards the center. Reverse G ig
of petals clear buff-rose The flowers are of good substance, extra Ail nu
large, finely formed, and very full and fragrant. Price, 6 cents each; 50 aa

cents per dozen; $3 per Lundred,
Crimson Rambler.

MANDA’S tives

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

Manda’s Triumph—This grand Rose is of free growth,
luxuriant foliage, and produces large clusters of double, pure
es. White flowers, beautifully imbricated and well formed, two

+ inches in diameter and sweetly scented. Price, 50 cents per
dozen; $3 per hundred.

Universal Favorite—(Manda.) Thisis the most vigorous
plant of the set. The long branching shoots are covered with
dense, bright green foliage. The double flowers are over two
4 inches in diameter, and a beautiful rose color, similar to the
Bridesmaid, and deliciously fragrant. A grand variety for -
any purpose. Price, 50c per dozen: $3 per hundred.

South Orange Perfection—(Manda.) Thisisa gem, grow-
ing freely close to the ground, and haying multitudes of the
most perfectly formed, double flowers, about one and a half
inches in diameter, soft blush-pink at the tips, changing to
white. It lasts along timein perfection. Price, 50 cents per
dozen; $3 rer hundred.

Pink Roamer—(Manda.) Thisis withou% question a hy™
brid between the Sweetbrier, and carries these characteris
tics in bloom, while the growth, which is very important»
and the luxurious foliage, partake more of the Wichuriana.
The single flowers, which are produced in close heads, are
nearly two inches in diameter, bright, rich pink, with almost
a white center, which lightens up the orange-red stamens.
Price, 50c per dozen; $3 per hundred,

Henry M. Stanley.

Leonie Osterrieth, or White Soupert.

We have given this Rose an extended trial and
believe there is no better white Rose grown. The
buds are of a good size,and flower full and double,
and deliciously fragrant. Pure porcelain white, with
deep center. In freedom of bloom this charming
variety rivals the Polyanthas. Price, 50 cents per
dozen; $3 per hundred.

The Superb Blooming Rose,

Clothilde
Soupert.

The Best Market Pot Rose.

This Rose originated with
Messrs. Soupert & Notting,
Luxembourg, Belgium. itis
a strong, vigorous grower.
The fiowers are large, double,
beautiful in form, with the
style of the beautiful Rose,
“Ball of Snow.”’ The flowers
are borne in sprays and the
color blends from a soft shel]
pink toa pure satiny white
Roses with both of these col-
ors are produced on the same
plant at the same time. This
Rose is destined to take high
rank asa pot Rose, for bed-
ding purposes, and with the
increased taste for Roses in
clustered sprays, will be
profitable as a cut flower. Nc
other Rose approaches it in
flowering qualities, not even
the grand old Hermosa.

Price, 6c each: 50c per dozen
$3 per hundred.

The Yellow
..,Soupert,

The Charming
New Yellow Rose,

MOSELLA.

This splendid novelty is almost identical with that of the
original Soupert, a cross of the Polyantha and the beautiful
Tea Rose, Madame Faicot. It blooms in profuse clusters of
three to five flowers, which are very double, ball shaped and
open like a Camellia flower. The petals are tinted white, on

beautiful light yellow ground extending to the middle of the

petals. The plant is dwarf, bushy and free blooming. Of,

fered for the first time this year. It issure to be a popular

companion to the original Clothilde Soupert. Price, 6 cents

each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.

White Hermosa,

Clothitde Soupert.

The Beautiful Pink Soupert.

This bright new Rose is a very free flowering variety,
much resembling Hermosa, but more double and flowering
more freely ; it shows the Polyantha blood in the full cluster
of bloom, and it will make a handsome contrast, bedded or
grown with the C. Soupert The flowers are not quite so
large, full and handsome as our original Soupert, but fill a
place because of their brightness and freedom. The habit of
the plant is almost identical with C. Soupert. Price, 6 cents
each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.

Tea Rose, Sunset.

It isa sport from that grand variety, Perle des Jarains,
which it strongly resembles; perfumed. The color is a re-
markable shade of rich golden amber, elegantly tinged and
shaded with dark, ruddy copper, intensely beautiful and re-
sembling in color a splendid ‘after glow.’ Price, 8 cents
each; 60 cents per dozen; $5 per hundred.

New Tea Rose, The Queen.

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. Priee, 6 cents each; 50 cents per doz-
en; $4 per hundred.

Tea Rose, Viscomtesse de Wautier.

Rosy yellow upon the exterior of the petals, rosy white in
interior. The center is a dark rose, and this color is often
lined into the lighter shades above, producing a charming
effect. A grand Rose. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen:
$3 per hundred.

Tea Rose, Professor Caniviat.

Vigorous in growth and free in bloom. Flower double
and of good form, of the color of Souvenir Therese Levet.
Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.

The Fine Ever-bloomer,
flarie Lambert, or White Hermosa.

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

Pernet’s Triumph.

THE BEAUTIFUL NEW ROSE,

PERNET’S TRIUMPH.

THE FINEST ALL-ROUND
CRIMSON ROSE TO DATE.

Originated and sent out by Jean Pernet, one of the most
celebrated Rose growers of France, who has already given us
some very beautiful Roses, but considers this the triumph of
his life (the name translated would read ‘‘Triumph of Father
Pernet’’), and besides his endorsement it has received the
commendation of the highest European authorities, and as
far as we can judgeitis well worthy of them, and promises
to be one of the very finest of the Hybrid Tea class. The
flowers are extra large, having broad, thick petals and long,
tapering buds, with delicious Tea fragrance. Color a fine,
clear, magenta-red, sometimes passing to a bright crimson.
Very striking and beautiful, and of such good substance that
the flowers retain their beauty for a long time. Price, 60
cents per dozen; $4 per hundred.

TFA PS" CHAS. LEGRADY

This splendid Rose has proven one of the most satisfac-
tory for general planting. Here on our own grounds a bed
of it always makes a grand display all Summer long. Mag-
nificent, large buds, and flowers of great beauty. Color fine
chamois-red, richly shaded with darkest crimson. This rich,
unique coloring is one of its marked characteristics, and
stamps it with a distinctive charm. The outer petals are
frandly recurved, forming an excellent contrast to the
Camellia-like inner petals. For smoothness, richness and
finish this Rose is without arival. Price, 50 cents per dozen;
$3.00 per hundred.

SENATOR M°NAUGHTON.
(WHITE PERLE DES JARDINS.)

This fine white Rose originated with Mr. Jos. Bevis, of
Philadelphia, as a sport from Perle, and is a grand variety.
In foliage and growth it is identical with Perle; the flowers
are of the same form and size, while the color is an ivory-
white of great purity. This variety will prove invaluable to
Rose growers, for it is of the same easy management as Perle,

| requiring the same temperature and treatment; andif there

is a difference in freedom of bloom it is in favor of Senator
McNaughton. Price, 60 cents ner dozen; $4.00 ner hundred.

SUPERB NEW SCARLET ROSE

CLIMBING WOOTON.

This elegant new Climbing Hybrid Tea Rose is one which
promises to be a prime favorite wherever introduced.
Everything good that can be said of the grand Rose, Souvenir
de Wooton, can be said of this Rose, and more too. The

flowers are large and of a beautiful velvety-red color, and-

the perfume is elegant. Whether open, half open or in bud,
the flowers are of fine shape. The flowers are borne at the
terminus of long shoots, which render them especially good
for cutting, much better, in fact, than the flowers of its
parent, Souvenir de Wooton.

There is always a demand for a good, hardy Climbing
Tea, inasmuch as there are exceedingly few to be had. This
Rose we believe to possess a very considerable degree of har-
diness, and should, with protection, stand the Winter almost
anywhere. We consider this one of the best new Roses in-
troduced for years, and as it can be planted out doors or in,
doing equally well in either place, there is no question but
that it will soon become immensély popular. Order a good
plant now, so as to have the first one in your neighborhood.
Price, 50 cents per dozen: $3.00 per hundred.

Marie Van Houtte.

Of a fine, faultless, Straw-
yellow color, with the outer
petais washed and outlined
with a bright rosy-crimson ;
occasionally the whole flower
will be suffused with light
pink. It grows vigorously,
blooms profusely, and is
most deliciously scented; in
e.ol weather it almost
changes color, taking on gor-
geous crimson tints. A
beautiful and superb Rose.
Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents
per dozen; $3 per hundred.

Madame Welche.

An extra fine variety, very /
large, double and of beauti-
ful rounded form, a soft, pale
yellow, sometimes cream,
with short, inner petals of
glowing orange and copper.
Not to be forgotten if once
seen. Price, 214 inch pots, 6
cents each; 50 cents per dozen;

CYCLAMEN, or PERSIAN VIOLET.

There is no more ornamental plant for the greenhouse or

parlor culture than the Cyclamen. It grows readily, blooms
freely, and remains a long time in flower. Keep them in a
cool, light place, watering lightly until growth begins; then
water freely and give plenty of lightand air. On the approach
of cool weather remove to a warmer situation, the parlor or
greenhouse, but keep them near the light. The whole secret
of growing Cyclamens to perfection is light, air and low tem-
perature. Nice plants, 40 cents per dozen: $3 per hundred.

It is very dwarf,attaining a height of only eight or ten inches.
The flowers are large, of a more perfect form, and of the
purest white. Price, 40c per dozen; $2.50 per hundred.
