New flany= Flowered Rose, "Snowball."
^TOVELTIES among Roses are always acceptable and in " Snow-
. j^j- ball " we have one of the most charming acquisitions imagin-
■. . able. Of a dwarf, compact habit, with rich, green foliage,
and a.bounteous blooming quality which is really wonderful. Twenty-
five to fifty blossoms, white as snow and resembling a Camellia in
compactness and purity of color, are produced in large clusters,
literally covering the plant, and emitting a sweet, delicate odor. As
a pot or border plant, its abundance of flowers, vigorous constitution,
and attractive fragrance give it advantages beyond all others in this
section of Roses. (See cut). Large 2 year-old plants. $6.00 per doz. ;
young plants from 3-inch pots. $2.00 per doz.
New Hybrid Tea Rose, " Clara Watson."
THIS is one of the most beautiful winter-flowering roses, of the
largest size, very fragrant and fine form. The predominating
color is salmon pink, blended with blush pink on the outer
edge of the petals, with just enough yellow at the base to bring out
the whole, making it a very artistic and distinct flower. It is a very
strong grower and very free flowering, and must become a general
favorite. It is also a grand summer bedding rose, good strong
grower, fine substance and freeiblpomer. Price, plants from 3-inch
pots, $10.00 per 100.
NEW MANY-l-LOWERED ROSE
SNOWBALL
GOLD MEDAL ROSE,
JUBILEE.
IT is a true Hybrid Remontant Rose,
perfectly hardy, blooming in the fall
as well as in the early summer, very
vigorous, large, dark green foliage, one
of its distinguishing features ; short-
jointed, long flower stems! and branches
freely, blooms most abundantly, three
flowers and over on each shoot, the
ideal habit for a hardy garden Rose.
The flowers are very large, reaching
six inches across under good culture ;
outer petals partially renexed and re-
curved, the centre petals upright and
very gracefully disposed, giving grace and finish with-
out snowing the centre ; they last a long time when cut.
The buds are long and rounded, the petals falling
away gracefully, revealing the rich velvety texture.
The fragrance is strong, delightfully rich and very
lasting.
Its wealth of Color.— A pure red in its deepest tone,
shading to 'deep crimson red and velvety maroon red
in the depths of the petals. "The coloring is alive. "
as one expressed it. "It fairly glows in its rich
warmth of coloring. ".another said. The rich velvety-
finish to the petals is all its own, and is not even ap-
proached by any other Rose yet introduced. It is ad-
mirable, unique, and, as Mr. F. Schuyler Matthews, the
celebrated artist, said, 'This Rose contains the
darkest color, combined, with pure color, of
which nature is capable." It required centuries and
the skill of the world's hybridizers to produce this
peerless Rose, perfect in all its attributes, peerless in its
magnificent color, and it is fair to assume that it will
again require the centuries to produce its equal — if it
ever is produced — for nature is not proliiic in repetitions.
