SUNSET—This is a sport from that grand old variety, Pearl des Jardins, which it strongly resembles, only that the color is deeper and richer than it is in that elegant variety. Sunset is a great favorite wherever known. The color is a rich, golden amber or old gold, elegantly shaded with dark, ruddy crimson, resembling the beau- tiful tints seen in summer sunset. The flowers and buds are extra large, full, finely formed and deliciously per- fumed. It is a strong, vigorous grower and free bloomer, highly recommended both for open ground and house culture. One of the most beautiful Roses we grow. It pleases everybody. Price, 15 cents each; large two-year- old plants, 35 cents each. NEW EVER.BLOOMING ROSE, METEOR—This splendid Rose is one of the brightest colored of all, and must still be considered among the best for bedding and general planting, as well as for growing in pots and conservatory. The color is rich velvety crimson, exceedingly bright and striking, and, as shown in the engraving, the flowers are large and regular, fully double and borne on nice, long stems. It is a quick and constant bloomer, and quite fragrant. Never fails to please. Price, 10 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 35 cents each, THE BRIDE is a Rose that supplies a long-felt want. A few of the white ever-blooming Roses now in commerce have beautiful, double flowers, but none of them compare with The Bride in the size and shape of the buds and half- expanded flowers. The buds are very large and of ex- quisite form; the petals are of fine texture and substance, and the f ull flower is very double. The color is a delicate creamy white; the blooms can be cut with long stems, will last in a fresh state longer than any known variety. Valuable either for summer or winter flowering. Price, 10 cents each; extra large two-year-old plants, 25 cents. SPECIAL OFFER—For 30 cents we will send you the "Grand NEW TEA ROSE, COUNTESS EVA STARHEMBURG— There are a great number of our customers unacquainted with the fact that this is one of the most beautiful Roses and compares favorably with the most celebrated leading kinds.

The bud is long in form, opening into a fine double flower of great beauty and heavy texture. Color is a creamy yel- low, shading to ochre at the center, borders of the petals touched with Rose. It is of strong, sturdy habit of growth, and produces its grand flowers, profusely and constantly, from early Summer until late Fall. We are confident that this variety will please every one who plants it. It can not be surpassed for massing or bedding. Price, 10 cents each; large, two-year-old plants, 25 cents each.

Its buds are inimitable, faultless in form and charming in every shade of color.from the purest silvery Rose to the exquisite combining of yellow and rose.which illumes the base of the petals. It is beyond doubt the Rose of all Roses, and you should not fail to have a Mermet in your collection. Price, 10 cents each; extra large two-year- old plants, 25 cents each. MRS. DE GRAW—One of the best Roses for general cul- tivation, It is entirely hardy and equals the tender sorts in profusion of bloom.
