Hybrid Tea, MADAME 8CHWALLER. This Rose has the strong, firm growth of the Hybrid Perpetuals, the same form and finish of flower, especially full-grown. It is very free in bloom, and has the fragrance of La Francei The color is a bright, rosy-flesh, paler at the base of the petals and deepening on the edges. Apt to come in clusters, which are excellent for cutting. Price, 6 cents each;: 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred. Beautiful New Rose, INCONSTANT BEAUTY, The Rose of many colorsâfrom yellow to crimson. This new ever-blooming Rose from France is very remarkable in many respects, but the most notable is its ability to change its color. This Rose is almost identical with "Child's Jewel," but we believe a much better Rose. We have seen bushes of this wonderful variety bearing at the same time coppery-yel- low, deep rose, blush pink, mottled yellow and apricot, light and dark crimson Roses. These beautiful colors will sometimes be mottled in a single flower. A plant of this beautiful Rose, when in full bloom, presents a sight that is at once novel and pleasing. The buds and flowers are large, delightfully fragrant, and, as may be imagined, are exquisitely beautiful. It is a Tea Rose, and is, therefore, a constant bloomer. Its fragrance is delicious, and it being a vigor- ous grower makes it valuable for garden cul- ture. Price, 50 cents per doz.: $4 per hundred. Madame Schwaller. WHITE LA FRANCEâAugustine Guinnoiseau. Here we have a beauty indeed, one we can recom- mend to all, whether for out-door culture or for pots in the house in "Winter. If you were to ask us to select six of the very finest Roses for you, we should be sure to include it â in the six. Do you know La France? If so, you know this elegant new Rose. It is identical with La France, except the color. It is pearly-white, sometimes tinted with fawn. "We pre- dict for it far more popularity than La France ever attained. Don't fail to get this new Rose. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $4 per hundred. New Rose, THE RAINBOW. This new Rose from California, which, no doubt> will be extensively planted, was awarded a silver cup by the State Floral Society. The color is a lovely shade of deep coral-pink, striped and mottled in the most unique manner with intense crimson, and ele- gantly colored with rich, golden amber at center of base of petals. It makes beautiful buds and the flow- ers are extra large, very sweet and of great depth and substance. Price, 50 cents per doz.; $3 per hundred. New Tea Rose, FRANCISKA PRIES. One of the most robust growing varieties among the Teas, not climbing, but making long and sturdy shoots.» Flowers medium-sized. Color cream white, shaded with amber. Exceedingly free blooming. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per doz; $4 per hundred. New Tea Rose, COQUETTE DE LYON. No Rose like it for freedom of bloom. The plant is a fine grower and carries numbers of flowers on every shoot. A fine yellow Rose, large, not at all for- mal, very attractive. Called the Yellow Hermosa from its free flowering character. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $4 per hundred. White Tea Rose, MARIE GUILL0T. Perfection in form; flowers large and double to the center. This variety holds first place among white Tea Roses in purity of color, depth of petals and queen- liness in shape, grows well and is healthy. The best white Rose for general purposes grown. Price, 6 cents each; 50 cents per dozen; $3 per hundred.
