SIXTEEN BEST NEW ROSES. 159 The r)est New Hoses for 1895. We have selected the ten varieties offered below as the best New Ever-Blooming Eoses for the year, and have put the prices down to a reasonable point. All who wish to add to their collection of Eoses can rely on the varieties named ; they have been carefully chosen from a large importation, and we can safely say that each is distinct and worthy of the praise given it. GERMAINE TRICHON. This will prove a valuable climbing Rose for the South ; flowers large and globu- lar; color light salmon with nankeen orange-yellow centers; very vigorous in habit of gi-owth. 25 cts. each. GRAZIELLA. This lovely new Eose has received several silver medals in France; large, very full flowers which open well; color cream-white, delicately shaded pink, with petals of satiny substance. 50 cts. each. LA NIEGE. We predict great popularity for this lovely new Daily Rose. The tiowers are medium in size, very double, and constantly borne in the greatest profusion. The pure white flowers resemble anemones. 25 cts. MADAME CARNOT.

Imagine intense vermilion with yellow and chamois reflections. 35 cts. each. YVONNE GRAVIER. Medium-size flowers freely borne. The color is a lovely combination of creamy- white, shaded in center canary-yellow; reverse of petals light rose. A delightful new Eose. 25 cts. each.

The growth is vigorous, with rich, healthy foliage. The extra large, double flowers are produced on long stems; the buds and hall-expanded flowers are simply exquisite in their graceful form, delicate tints, and rich fra- grance.

A novel and distinct Rose. The colors are variable, and often upon a single plant there are what to the casual observer would be three different varie- ties of Roses in coloring,—brightest red, deep carmine lined with rich, clear yellow,—cer- tainly a remarkable combination. 20 cts. each. BRIDESMAID. This exquisite new Tea Rose is considered an improved Catharine Mermet, from which it is a sport; lovely, pointed buds on long stems ; color delicate pink. A lovely name and a lovely Rose. 15 cts. each. GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE.
