GENERAL COLLECTION TEA ROSES are the sweetest of all Roses. The flowers, many of them, are large and very delicate in their shades of color such as white, straw, salmon and various tints of rose combined with these. They are also the most free blooming of all, com- mencing to bloom as soon as planted, and continuing until stopped by freezing weather. For bouquets and cut flowers, they excel all other flowers. Their flowers improve in quality as the season advances, and reach perfection in the Autumn. They have exquisitely formed buds, and are, therefore, prized as invaluable. ....Price 10c Each, Unless Otherwise Marked*..* Prices quoted throughout the list are for mailing size. Express size double that price. Sixteen plants^ mailing size, your selection and one premium plant of your choice, $1; eight plants, j our selection, for 50c; excepting those quoted at special prices. Twenty plants, our selection, $1. These are nice strong plants, ready to bloom as soon as they begin to grow. Strong two-year-old plants, by express, $1, $2 and $3 per dozen, according to size. We always add some gratis plant to help pay express charges.

Bridesmaid* In this exquisite new Tea Rose we have an improved Catherine Mermet from which it is a sport. Mermet, on ac- count of its exquisite shape, large, solid, firm buds, with long, stiff stems, has long been considered one of the finest varieties ; its only defect has been that in dark, cloudy weather it comes a washy, dull color. Bridesmaid at all seasons is a clear, deli- cate pink, in all respects a counterpart of Mermet, with large, handsome pointed buds, on stiff stems. Undoubtedly the greatest acquisition made to the Tea Roses for many years. Price, 10c; two-year-old plants. 20c. Also given away as a premium. See illustration. The Queen. A most charming white sport from Souv. d'un Ami—like its parent in every respect. Of strong, healthy growth and large, of a pearly white. A lovely, pure white, fragrant Rose, admirably adapted for forcing. The buds have more substance than Niphetos, are full and double, and possess the good characteristics of Catherine Mermet. This is un- questionably the finest white Rose in existence. Price, 10c; two-year-old plants, 20c. Also given away as a premium. Try one. Anna Olivier. A superb Rose; very large, full form, very double and good substance; color, lovely creamy-blush, shaded with deep carmine, tinged and edged with silvery-rose: very fragrant. Price, 10c; two-year-old plants, 20c Adam. Large, full flowers; very sweet; color, blush rose, with salmon center; delicious tea scent. A lovely Rose. A great favorite. Price, 10 cents; large plants, 20 cents. Aline Sisiey* Varying from deep rose to a purple, the prevailing shade being a deep, purplish-rose. Very fragrant. Price. 10c; large plants, 20c. Bougere. This is a superb Rose; extra large, very double and full: exceedingly sweet tea scent; color, bronze-rose, delicately shaded with lilac. Very free bloomer. Price, 10 cents: large plants, 20 cents. Sombreuilm Pure white, very large and double. A good, strong grower and free bloomer. A first-class Rose in every respect. Very hardy and one of the most satisfactory varieties in the whole list. Should be in every collection. Price, 1 0c; large plants. 20c
