churaiana. This is one of the prettiest and diuntiest of garden
Teas. It is tine in foliage; very free in bloom. Its buds are
slender iind pointed, as they open showing a flesh pink center
surrounded by snowy white. The open flower recurves its pet-
als, which are of heavy texture, and its form is like a Cape Jas-

S'3.00 per dozen.
JOHANNA WESSENHOFF.
This is the finest grand beddinc: yellow Rose. It is a deep
golden yellow, and is such a sood bedding Rose that it is alreadv
called by some I he R-'ddms P^rh-. It is certainly fine. 35
cents each; $^.5U per dozen.
LIBERTY.
This new red Rose has been so overworked that we do not believe
it will give general s.itisfaction until it has had a few season's
rest. The Rose is naturallv a viirorous grower, but is now de-
cidedly weak and sickly. 35 cents each; $^.50 per dozen.

yellow, suffused with pink and crimson. '-25 cents each;

A very delicate shade of light pink. Has decided merits. 25
cents each; $1.50 per dozen.
No. 19.
This is a new French forcing Rose, and we have not yet
received the disseminator's name for it. It is by all odds the
very best hew Rose that has been introduced in years. It re-
sembles in color American Beauty. Buds and flowers of the
largest size. Itisastrong, vigorous grower, producing its hand-
some buds and flowers on long stems. It forces equal to Bride
or Bridesmaid. Never comes ''off color" or with misshaped buds.
This is the nearest approach to the ideal forcing Rose. Don't
fail to try thisgrand variety. When named, we will notify our
customers of the fact. 35 cents eacli; $3.50 per doz.
PSYCHE, THE NEW RAMBLER ROSE.
Received the award of merit of the Royal Horticultural So-
ciety of England. A cross between Crimson Rambler and the
Polyantha Rose Gqlden Fairy. In growth and habit it much
resembles Crimson Rambler. The flowers are produced in clus-
ters of eight to thirty-five and are two to two and a half inches
across when fully expanded. The color is white suffused with
salmon rose and pink, with yellow base to the petals. A real
companion to Crimson Rambler. The horticultural press of
England gives it very flattering comment as described at the
various exhibitions. 35 cents eadi; $3.00 per dozen.
aUEEN OLGA OF GREECE.
This Rose comes to us very highly praised. So far we have
failed to detect what these merits are. It may improve with a
longer acquaintance. The color is light pink. 25 cents each;
$1.50 per dozen.
SOUV. DE MD. EUGENE COUVIN.
We think highly of this Rose. It is a fine grower and free
bloomer. Flowers when open flat. It combinesshades of white
and yellow in pleasing harmony, with center of flower deeper
yellow. Very desirable. 35 cents each; $2.00 per dozen.
SUNRISE.
The most gorgeous Rose of its class yet introduced. This has
made a sensation in England and taken first honors wherever
shown. In close bud form itshows the high, brilliant colors
seen only in the Austrian Copper, scarlet and yellow. As it
opens the color deepens, the scarlet turniugdarker red, the yel-
low to orange and copper, the inside of the petal golden yellow.
The open Rose is large, perfectly double and of grand form. The
foliage is glossy and thick, the new growths being the darkest
and most beautiful found among roses. The form and color of
bud, its freedom of growth and bloom will give Sunrise a high
place amongforcing Roses. A novelty is earnestly wished for
by cut-flower growers and here is a novelty of the highest qual-
ity. 50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen.
MRS. MAWLEY.
This grand variety embodies so many good qualities that it is
difficult to describe it. We could say no more in its praise than
to say it is like Maman Cochet, only several shades lighter in
color. 25 cents each; $1.50 per dozen.
Roses Our Specialty.
SOME OF THE NEWER ROSES.
ADMIRAL DEWEY.
In color this is among the most beautiful of pink Roses, a
delicate daybreak blush, clear and distinct and very captivating,
nothmg weak or washy in color. It is a sport from Madame Caro-
line Testout, is more vigorous in habit and a very free bloomer.
Like Testout, the flowers are very perfect in form, alittle lacking
in fulness when fully expanded, forces finely and is very fra-
grant, a fine cold weather Rose of enormous size. 25 cents
each; $2.00 per dozen; $12.00 per hundred.
ANTOINE RI VOIRE.
A handsome new Rose of vigorous habit of growth, with large,
full, Camellia-shaj)ed flowers. Color rosy flesh, on a yellow
ground, shaded with a border of carmine; flowers five inches in
diameter. A remarkable variety of great worth. 10 cents
each; 75 cents per dozen. ^
BARDOU JOB. The Saucer Rose.
This is not strictly speaking, a new Rose, but its merits have
only been discovered in the past year. It is scarce, and will be
so for some time to come. It is of a semi-climbing habit, being
quite vigorous and strong. The foliage is large and leathery.
The flowers are very large, and resemble a saucer in shape,
semi-double. The color is the deepest, richest velvety crimson
ofallRoses. We know ofnothing in the Rose family so rich in
color. A well grown bunch of these Roses will startle you. 15
cents each; 75 cents per dozen.
CLIMBING PAUL NEYRON.
(Madame Wagram.)— A grand new Rose. Paul Nevron
has always been kuowu as the largest Rose extant. In Climb-
ing Paul Neyron we have this large size, coupled with its bright,
fresh pink color, that no Rose excels. And it is also a true per-
petual bloomer. The freest of all climbers. This rose is a won-
der. Be sure to trv it. 10 cents each; 75 cents per doz-
en; $4.00 per hundred.
BEAUTE INCONSTANTE.
A MOST WONDERFUL ROSE. This new ever-blooming
Rose from France is very remarkable in many respects, but the
most notable is its ability to change its color. We have seen
bushes of this wonderful variety bearing at the same time cop-
pery yellow, deep rose, blush pink, mottled yellow and apricot,
light and dark crimson Roses. These beautiful colors will some^
times be mottled in a single flower. A plant of this beautilut
Rose when in full bloom ])resents a sight that is at once novel
and pleasing. The buds aud flowers are large, delightfully fra-
grant, and as may be imagined, are exquisitely beautiful. It is a
Tea Rose, and is, therefore, a constant bloomer. Its fragrance
is delicious, and its being a vigorous grower makes it valuable
for garden culture. This Rose produces a sensation wherever
seen, and will, without doubt, head the list as a charming nov-
elty for years to come. 10 cents each; 60 cents per dozen;
$4.00 per hundred.
BALDUIN.
One of the most remarkable Roses of recent date, as strong
growing as the best of the Hybrid Perpetuals, with large, hand-
some foliage, flowers ofthe fullest form and largest size, which is
equaled in profusion by no other Rose of its size that we have
seen. The colons bright, glowing carmine, and if this Rose
were constant in shade, it would outrank all others of its color.
Its one and only defect is that it at times comes "off color." The
bud is long and elegantly pointed; it is as sweet as a June 'Rose.
Its many good qualities will make friends for it despite its one
fault. 25 cents each; $1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per hun-
dred.

The Good & Reese Company's Wholesale Trade List,
CLARA WATSON.
A free blooming Tea Rose of English origin with
manv distinct features. The flowers are very graceful,
resembling Bridesmaid in form, and are produced in
remarkable profusion. For freedom of bloom this va-
riety is specially valuable. The buds are very beauti-
ful, "and are supported on long stems, making it de-
sirable for cutting. The color is salmon pink, very dif-
ficult to describe. Will take a place among the best
Roses. 10 cents each; 50 ceuts per dozen; $3.50
per linndred.
CARMINE PILLAR. (The Butterfly
Rose.)
Hardy climber. The flower is from three and a half
to four inches across, of the brighest possible rosy car-
mine, and produced very abundantly. The display
lasts for several weeks. Quite hardy. One of the very
finest of ornamental shrubby Roses. Of the freest
growth. It is so dainty and graceful as to be given the
name of the Butterfly Rose. 10 ceuts each; 50 cents
per dozen; $3.50 per hundred.
CLIMBING MALMAISON.
This is identical with the old Malmaison, except
that it is a vigorous climber. Indeed, it is the most
rampant of all the ever-blooming climbers. This is al-
ready a fixture in our list of climbing Roses, from its
decided merits. 10 ceuts each; 60 cents per doz*
en; $4.00 per hundred.
A Hose Among Roses,
CLIMBING BRIDESMAID.
If there is one rose more beautiful than another, that Rose is Bridesmaid. It .,, [i^c^^m^-^'m^h^
is the standard pink cut-flower Rose of America. It has many rivals, but as ilSSK-^^^a^^^^^^lH Vac** nf
vet it holds its own as one of the grandest Roses in commerce. It represents 1^ mM^^^SM^B «oc Ol
the highest degree of beauty yet attained in Roses of its class. It is distinct in l|^sJHiJm^^^^B D 1« 1
form, distinct in growth, and equally distinct in color. When we first ottered \\^K'^M^^^1M DUfbailK
this new variety as a sport from Bridesmaid, its popularity was assured. W^ . ™
proceeded to grow as many as we could, but the demand kept the supply /p^^ /iW KoSCS* # «
down. Not until this year have we been able to get it in such quantity as / t-^ m
would allow us to bring it into prominent notice and offer it at popular price.
We want our customers to try this Rose, more especially those whose Winters
are not too severe. It is quite hardy, but where the Winters are very cold and
long, it should be carefully protected in open groun;. It grows rapidly and strongly, and blooms as freely as does its parent,
Bridesmaid, which is practically all the time. The flowers are simply beautiful (identical with Bridesmaid), clear dark pink: in
bud they are superb beyond anything we have ever seen. This is one of the most valuable additions to the Climbing Tea
Roses made in recent years. 10 ceuts each; 75 ceuts per dozen; $4.00 per hundred.
THE BURBANK ROSE. A Perfectly Hardy, New, Ever-Blooming Rose.
This lovely Rose was raised by Mr. Luther Burbank of California, known the world over as the "Wizard of Horticulture."
and is the only, variety out of seventy-five thousand cross-bred seedlings which he raised that he was willing should bear his
name. The Rose is the only rival that the famous variety Champion of the World has. The color is described as cherry
crimson— it is, in other words, the very deepest and brishtest pink Rose in cultivation. It is peculiarly adapted for both out-
door planting or for blooming in pots in the house during Winter. It is a strong, vigorous grower, making well rounded,
bushy plants. The Burbank Rose is perfectly hardy, and will stand our most severe weather. This is a decided point in Its
favor" over so many of our lovely Roses, they being too tender to withstand the extreme cold. The Burbank can be planted anywhere.
The Burbank is without doubt the freest flowering Rose in cultivation. It commences to bloom when only a few inches
high, and blooms throughout the season until stopped by freezing weather. The flowers are double, three inches across; the
whole flower is most pleasing in its rich beauty, and is delightfully fragrant. 10 ceuts each; 50 cents per dozen; $3.00
per hundred.
New Hardy, Ever-Blooming- Crimson Rose, CLIMBING WOOTTON.
To our mind this is one of the best Rotes in this book, for these reasons: It is
hardy, has no weak spots, grows with wonderful vigor, blooms continually through-
otit the growing season, producing flowers that are nothing less than superb, both in
beauty and in fragrance. These we think are the points that make a good Rose, and
in this variety we have one. It is a sport from that famous Rose, Souv. de Wootton,
and is identical with it except that it is a strong, rampant climber, grow-
ing in one season to a height of 10 to 15 feet, and producing in wonderful
profusion its superbly formed flowers, which are bright magenta red,
passingto violet crimson, richly shaded. The flowers are large, full and
regular, with thick, leathery petals, and deliciotisly scented. Makes beau-
tiful buds. As an outdoor climbing Rose, it will take front rank because of
its hardiness, strong growth and freedom of bloom. A well developed busli
covered with finely formed flowers is beautiful beyond anything we have ever
seen. Truly this is a magnificent and valuable new Rose. 10 ceuts each;
60 cents per dozen; $4.00 per hundred.
CORONET. The Sweetest, Largest, and Freest
blooming- Hybrid Tea Rose in Cultivation.
It is a cross between that superb variety Paul Xeyron and Bon
Silene, two grand old favorites. Coronet is a true ever-blooming
Hybrid Tea, i'dentical in form and size with Paul Neyron. X'o de-
scription or illustration can do justice to the remarkable beauty and
splendor of its flowers. They are grand in every way. From the
time the plant is four inches in height it blooms steadily, bearing in
unbroken continuitv, on good, stiff stems, magniHcent large flowers that frequently meas-
ure from four to six inches in diameter. The form is full, deep and wonderfully double.
It i« full to the center, and when entirely open the flowers do not look unlike Pteonies.
Thi' resemblance is made all the more striking by the peculiar color, which is absolutely
unlike anv Rose we know. In the bud the color is a deep, rich carmine, which, as the
flower^; open, lightens to a soft, clear pink, with each petal distinctly edged with silvery
o-rav The effect is beautiful. The fragrance is simply delicious. In flower and foliage it
re'^embles Paul Nevron, while in vigor of growth the Bon Silene blood is shown. It is a
strone healthv grower, forming a compact bush. In the open ground, where it is hardy, It
does splendidlV commencing to bloom earlv in the season and continuing until severe
freezin''- weather Slight protection during Winter will be beneficial. Probably the most
valuable and satisfactory Rose for general cultivation sent out for many years. 10 ceuts
each: 60 cents per dozen; $4.00 per hundred.

grower and a very free bloomer. Flowers of good size, from pointed buds, softred,

THE GREAT

GOLDEN GATE.
MRS. ROBERT PEARV.
See description page 6 .
It does best in a temperature that grows fine
This variety, while not new, has recently attracted considerable attention, and
is considered by many one of the most valuable Winter flowering Roses now grown.
Bridesmaid. Under favorable conditions its shapely blooms are often as large as American Beauty, and are borne on strong, heavy
canes, stiff as reeds. When well grown it is of exquisite color— shell pink, shading to creamy flesh on outer petals. This Rose has
been grown quite largely in the vicinity of Washington, where it has been received with great favor. It is a favorite with both
grower and retailer, and commands the highest prices of any Tea Rose. 10 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3.00 per
hundred.
GRUSS AN TEPLITZ.
As a bedding Rose this is one of the finest and most useful varieties ever sent out. Many of our customers who bought it the past
Spring are realizing its value and singing its praises. It will take rank with Hermosa or Soupert. The color is brightest scarlet,
shading to deep, rich, velvety crimson. It is very fragrant. The freest grower and the most profuse bloomer of any ever-bloomer.
The mass of color produced is wonderful, and the foliage is extremely beautiful, all the younger growth being a bronzy plum color.
A queen among scarlet bedders. It is a perfect sheet of richest crimson scarlet all Summer. It will undoubtedly supersede Agrippina,
Queen's Scarlet, and others of this class. 15 cents each; $1.00 per dozen; $6.00 per hundred.
GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE.
This is the first Rose that we have introduced, and we are sure it will please all who try it. It is in color an orange yellow, after
the style of Ma Capucine, only richer and better. It is a good grower, has elegant, long buds, borne on long stems, and will produce
more buds than any Rose we know of. It colors up much deeper and richer in cloudy weather, which will make it a useful Rose
for Winter forcing. The color is so peculiar and rich that it attracts attention wherever seen. Try it. 10 cents each; 50 cents
per dozen; $^.50 per hundred.
HELENE CAMBIER.
This lovely coppery yellow Hybrid Tea Ever-blooming Rose will
fill a long-felt want, from the fact that everybody has been lookiBSf
and longing for a good yellow Rose that combined vigorous hardi-
ness with rich color and free blooming qualities. This Helena
Cambierdoes. It is a new Rose of French origin, destined, we be-
lieve, to find a prominent place among the highest grade
ever-blooming Roses, both for Summer and Winter bloom-
ing. The growth is free and vigorous, very tree blooming,
flowers of splendid substance and a delightful shade of deep,
rich, coppery yellow. In extreme heat comes a deep am-
ber color. The buds are full and firm,
lasting a long time when cut. As the
flowers expand the center of the Rose
discloses depths of golden yellow, with
light orange tints, while the older petals
lessen to lemon yellow, giving a combi-
nation of tints and tones unequaled in
their beauty. Without question this is a
charming Rose for the garden. 10 cents

MRS. ROBERT
GARRETT.
Mrs, Robert Garrett,
A beatitiful, large Rose of exquisite shape, finish and blending
of colors. It was raised by Mr. John Cook of Baltimore, Md.,
the result of a cross between .^ombreuil and Madame Caroline
Testout. It partakes largely of the latter variety in habit of
growth, in foliage, spines and stems, and in shape of flowers
shows a complete blending of both parents. The flowers are
very large, on strong stems, clothed with clean, heavy foliage
and" strong spines. The buds are long and pointed in shape, and
open up beautifully into a full, rounded flower. In shape of bud
and half-open flower it very much resembles Souv. President
Carnot, butis very mttch larger: color, a glowing shell pink,
very deep in the center; the fragrance is delicate and pleasing.
A correspondent of the American Florist, in commenting on
this Rose last March, says: '-The exhibit of Mr. Cook was a
departure from the rest, as it was a vase of Roses. But such
Roses! They towered above the Carnations on strong stems
clothed with heavy foliage, and were as large as American
Beauties, but of a beautiful clear pink, almost light enough to be
called a shell pink." 10 ceuts each; 50 ceuts per dozeu;
$3.00 per huudred.

Or CLIMBING KAISERIN.
This is without doubt the grandest of all white climbing Roses.
It is the first and only pure w hite, hardy, ever-blooming climb-
ing Rose, and as such met-is a demand that has never before
been supplied. Small plants bloom continually the first season,
just as its parent, Kaiseriu Augusta Victoria, does. It is as hardy
as any Hybrid Perpetual or Moss Rose, and will withstand, un-
protected, the most severe Winters. It is a strong, rapid grower,
without a weak spot, growiug to perfection in open ground, and
throwing up numerous shoots ten to filieen feet high in a single
season. Tiie flowers are something grand. They are the eqtial
of tbe finest and most beautiful cut-flower Roses. Of splendid
substance. They are extra large, full, deep and double, and are
produced on long, stiff stems, like a forcing or cut-flower Rose.

fuse and continuous bloomer.'

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, or Climbing" Marie
Guillot. A Glorious New Rose.
This Rose has been grown around Houston, Texas, for several
years under the name of President Cleveland. If you have never
seen Marie GuiUot growiug at its best in the open ground, you
cannot conceive of the beauty ofits large, bold, handsome white
flowers. It has been termed the '•Queen of White Roses,''' and
while there are many white varieties of unquestionable excel-
lence, there are none more reliable for outdoor cultivation than
Marie Guillot. Climbing Marie Guillot possesses all the valua-
ble features of its famous parent, with which it differs only m
habit of arrowth. It is one of the most rapid growing and vigor-
ous Climbing Roses we have ever seen, small plants making a
growth often to twenty feet in five months. It is an exceedingly
healthy Rose, possessing every attribute that a perfect Rose
should" have. It blooms contintiously throughout the season, the
first and everv year. The flowers are magnificently made, extra
larse, deep and double. The buds are particularly beautiful and
the" fraerance delightful. The color is pure snow white, some-
times faintlv tinged toward the center with pale yellow. It will
prove mode"ratelv hardv with protection, but it will be seen at
its best in the South, Southwest and Pacific Coast States (where
the Winters are mild). It will bloom the whole year around in
the far South, and wherever Marechal Niel is grown, this va-
riety will undoubtedlv equal it in beauty of flowers and surpass
it in visor of srowtti. It is one of the really grand Roses.

the freest flowering white Rose we have seen. It will be especial-
ly useful in set designs. For a pot plant it cannot be excelled,
as it possesses every quality of a pot Rose. We counted on one
plant one hundred and forty-three buds and flowers in a single
day, and the plant was only nine months old. It can be used'm
place of white Carnations for set pieces at an immense savinsr.
because it can be bloomed profitably at one dollar per hundrtd
buds. Xot only will it cover twice and three times the space in
a funeral design, for instance, that a Carnation covers, but it will
give greatly superior results. Try it. 10 cents eacli; 50
cents per dozen; $^.50 per huuflred.
SUNSET.
The color is a remarkable shade of rich, golden amber, ele-
gantly tinged and shaded with dark, ruddy copper, intensely
beautiful, and resembling in color a splendid '-afterglow "' 10

shining foliage. Blooms are produced in great bouquets, and are of a most peculiar
and lovely shade of crimson. It has proved perfectly hardy even in our trying
Ohio climate. A bed of this pegged down and requiring little attention would be
very useful to the general florist at blooming time. It also makes a fine pot plant,
treated and brought on like the early blooming Hybrid Perpetual s, and forms a
perfect bouquet of bloom. This is without question the handsomest plant of any
description for Easter blooming. Grow in the field one or two years, the latter
age is the best, dig and pot and keep cool at night for about six weeks, until
root action is active, then gradually increase temperature. Treated this way this
Rose produces, from the very pot to its topmost branches, hugh bunches of from
fifty to two hundred blooms in a cluster, and is a sight not soon to be forgotten.
50 cents per dozen; $3.50 per hundred.
CLIMBING PEARL OF THE GARDENS.
Few Roses have as firm a hold in popular favor and are so highly prized by the
professional and amateur Rose growers alike as the Pearl of the Gardens. It
thrives well in the open air, blooming freely. Its large, full, well-formed golden
yellow flowers, borne on stiff stems, make this variety especially desirable for bou-
quets and artistic floral decorations, while the dark and glaucous foliage of the
plant furnishes an excellent setting for the fragrant, delicate hued blossoms. It
will no doubt be as much of a surprise to our readers as it has been tons to learn
that thisstately Rose has recently evolved itselfinto a form which, while retaining crimson rambler.
the excellent qualities of its progenitors, has assumed a climbing habit. On the
original plant the lateral growth is eighteen feet in each direction from the stem, and the plant has carried at one time over one
thousand buds and flowers. If there is any perceptible difference between the two it is only that the Climbing Pearl of the Gardens
is even more vigorous and floriferous than the bush form. Climbing Pearl of the Gardens will supersede Marechal Niel, as the buds
and flowers 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 Niel's one. It is hardy in the South. A most remarkable Rose, and without doubt the best yellow
Rose ever seen. 10 cents eacli; 50 cents per dozen; $3.50 per hundred.

CLIMBING LA FRANCE.
Hitherto the hardy climbing Roses have been almost totally
devoid of perfume, and none of them have that form and sub-
stance deemed requisite in a high-class Rose With the advent
of the climbing La France these objections vanish, for it excels
even its parent (La France) in size and quality of flower: it re-
tains the charming peach pink color and the exquisite fragrance
which have made La France the favorite it is. Small plants set
otit June 15 had attained a growth of fifteen feet by October 15. a
growth unsurpassed by any climbing Rose on our grounds. The
Climbing La France is'equally as hardy as its pareiit, and so may
be safely planted in open ground even in Northern latitudes. It
is a true, ever-blooming, hardy climbing Rose, which will make
it equally valuable for the North and South. Be sure to try it.

flowers are large, full and sweet. The color is a rich, scarlety

of magnificent size. It has our highest praise.

PHOTOGRAPH OF YELLOW RAMBLER. Grown as a Pot Plant.
Rosarians have been for many years crossing or hybridizing^
various Roses with a view to obtaining a hardy yellow climbing
Rose, but the combination of climbing habit and yellow color-
ing with hardiness was one that it seemed impossible to obtain,
and was almost despr.ired of. The Yellow Rambler has been
found to successfully withstand, without protection, a C(mtinued
temperature of from zero to two decrees below, which proves it
to be far hardier than any other yellow climbing Rose yet intro-
duced, and we believe that by "laying the plants down in the
Winter it can be succes.<=fully grown in nearly all the northern
parts of the United States:'in fact, anywhere that other Roses
succeed at all well. Did we say nothing more about the Rose
we think this would be sufticieut to otablish its value, for what
lover of Roses in the North has not bewailed the severity of the
climate which nearly deprives his garden of the most attractive
color of all— yellow." The flowers a"re borne in immense clusters,
after the sanie manner as the Crimson Rambler, often as many
I as one hundred and fifty blossoms in a bunch, and the trusses
I have the same handsome pvramidal shape as those of the Crim-
I son Rambler. The color is a decided vellow. $a.50 per hun-
! dred.

HYBRID WICHURAIANA MEMORIAL ROSES.
What Mr. Manda says: ''The most remarkable achievement and
improvement of a new and distinct type of Hardy Roses that has
been made for a generation. The growth is remarkable for its free-
dom, a single plant, four years old, covering a space of two hundred
and forty square feet with long shoots, twelve to twenty-five feet in
length, completely covering the ground with its bright, glossy foli-
age and showy, fragrant flowers. The same plant has made one
hundred and eight new growths of remarkable strength during the
Summer. The foliage of all is leathery in texture, shining, and not
only proof against insects, but evergreen; that is, keeping the foliage
all Winter— a characteristic in Roses never before obtained.
The flowers are produced most profusely, are all of large size, very
fragrant, and can be easily used for cut flower purposes, as much as
any greenhouse Tea Rose, especially when in bud. The use of these
Roses will be unlimited— for trailing or covering ground where nothing else would grow, to cover
roots, stumps and stems of trees, walls and trellises, for cut flower purposes, and also for forcing as
pot plants during Spring, especially for Easter."

CLEMATIS PANICULATA. Japanese Virgin's
Bower.
One of the most beautiful of our hardy flowering vines. The
flowers are pure white, and are borne in great panicles or clusters
of bloom, fairly covering the plant, so that it is a mass or sheet
of fleecy white'. The clusters are borne on long, slender stems,
which stand out boldly from between the glossy green leaves,
and the gentlest breeze causes wavy crests of" white to flow
gently over the surface. The fragrance is delicious, resembling
the English Hawthorn blossoms, and is so subtle and penetrat-
ing that a large plant in bloom will fill the air with fragrance. It
begins to bloom late in August or early in September, at a time
when most other hardy climbers are out of bloom, an inesti-
mable advantage. It is a strong, rapid grower, quickly reaching
a height of from fifteen to twenty feet, and spreading out when
trained to wires or string. It is perfectly hardy in all sections of
the country, and we can imhesitatingly say that it is, in our
opinion, the most valuable among hardy climbing vines. 60
cents per dozen; $4.00 per hundred.

The Wonderful New Lemon, PONDEROSA^
m
jlOTHTNG that has ever been brought
to our notice in the plant line has
caused half the commotion that
this wonderful Lemon has. It Is a
true ever-bearing variety. On a plant
six feet high no less than eighty-nine of these
ponderous Lemons were growing at one
time. It was a beautiful sight to see. The tree
was blooming, and at the same time had fruit
in all stages of development, from the size of
a pea up" to the ripe fruit, showing it to be a
true ever-bearer. Fruit has been taken from
this tree weighing over four pounds. The
Lemons have very thin rind for such large
fruit. It is the juiciest of all Lemons, makes
delicious lemonade, and for culinary purposes
cannot be excelled. It is not uncommon to
make twelve lemon pies from one lemon. We
have the entire stock of this ponderous Lem-
on, and guarantee the trees to produce the
same large fruit. Xo budding or grafting
necessary. P.onderosa Lemon is sure to be-
come popular when it is known. It fruits
when quite small, and makes a lovely house
plant. Evervbody can grow their own lem-
ons; will fruit freely the second year. Thrifty
voung plants. -^S cents eacii; per

white flowers of the most delicious fragrance, identical with
the much sought for blooms of Southern orange groves. Ota-
heite fruits immediately after flowering, bearing fruit about one-
half the size of the ordinary Orange, retaining in a marked de-
gree its sweetness. This unique Orange cannot be equaled
as a Winter blooming pot plant for house culture, and is of the
easiest culture. Requires but little sunlight, and flowers and
fruits when but twelve to fifteen inches high. As a pot plant this
lovely dwarf orange is one of the most novel and beautiful that

wise with broad, white variegations on a dark green ground. A
rare and beautiful plant which should be abundantly grown for
positions out of the reach of sunlight, where other plants will not
thrive. When you consider that it can be placed in any posi-
tion in any room and do well, its great usefulness is at once ap-
l)arent. It has a singular beauty for decorative purposes which
other plants do not possess, and is useful both Winter and Sum-
mer. Though grown mainly for the beauty of its foliage, it is
by no means an insignificant flowering plant. It blooms usually
during May and .lune, sending up great plume-like spikes a
footer more in length. The flowers are numerous and com-
posed of long, narrow petals which recurve gracefully 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
