Grand Old Marechal Niel. The New Climbing Rose, EMPRESS OF CHINA. This is a new climbing rose of the greatest excellence. It was brought to this country by a gentleman from China, who says of it that it commences to bloom in May, and is loaded with its elegant blooms until December. Think of it! There is no other rose like it that will bloom for so long a time. This has been the great ob- jection to climbing roses, that they bloom once and then are done. But here we have a rose that blooms continu- ously for over seven months of the year. Color shell pink. It is perfectly hardy, and is a continuous grower. 10c each: larger plants, 25c and 50c each. Grand New Velvety Red Rose. CLIMBING METEOR. All who know "General Jack" will call to mind its beautiful, high colored, rich, velvety-red buds and flowers. Climb- ing Meteor is the acme of all red climbing roses. It is a free, persistent bloomer and will make a growth of from ten to fifteen feet in a season: in bloom all the time, as it is a true ever-bloomer. We do not hesitate to place it at the head of the list of all roses for summer blooming, as it will make a strong growth and literally loaded with its deep, rich red flowers all the time. Its flowers are much larger than Meteor and are richer in color. It is just the rose to train up the verandas or around windows where its great beauty will show up to good advantage. 15c each; larger plants, 25c to 50c each. The four Ramblers and one of each of above, 40c: largo plants', 75c for the six. MARECHAL NIEL. YELLOW MARECHAL NIEL. Our stock of this splendid old favorite was never in better condition or in larger supply , hence we wish to call particular attention to it, and for this reason we have sought to give a partial idea of its rampant growth and blooming propensities by giv- ing a truthful illustration of an ordinary plant. It is es- sentially a magnicent rose for Southern cultivation, where it attains a degree of perfection seldom seen in any rose. The buds and flowers are superb; extra large, very double and deliciously perfumed; they are, in point of beauty, the first of their class. The color is deep golden yellow. Marechal Niel is highly esteemed for gen- eral planting in the North, where it makes a splendid show during the summer months, and for greenhouse or conservatory culture, it is by all odds the most desirable rose we know. Its merit as an outdoor rose has made it famous in the South, and we recommend it more highly than ever to our Southern friends. 10c each; 6 for 50c; 15 for ;1. Large plants, 25c to $1.00 and $2.00 each. GLOIRE DE DIJON. Next to M. Niel this is the finest pillar rose for the greenhouse. Very large, double; rich, creamy amber color. Perfectly hardy south of Washing- ton, and in sheltered situations it has been known to withstand the winters around New York City. Extra large plants, $1.00 each; 1st size plants, 50c each, $4.50 per doz.; young plants. 10c each, $1.00 per doz. WHITE MARECHAL NIEL. fDeegan, Germany.) This is the latest novelty in roses. It has been carefully tested for the last five years, and it proved to be the best and most valuable rose in cultivation: it is especially good for the Southern climate, as it has the same qualities and good habits as our old yellow Marechal Niel, which has been in cultivation for the last thirty-five years, and is everybody's favorite up to this day. This we can prove by the enormous amount of plants we sell every vear, and, no doubt, this new rose, White Marechal Niel, will sell at sight, and no lover of roses ought to be with- out it, as vour rose garden is not complete without this novelty. Price, 25c each. Large plants, $1. to $2 each. PEINE MARIE HENRIETTE. A seedling of the Gloire de Dijon, with bright red flowers; large, full, and scented. This rose partakes somewhat of the Hybrid Perpetual character, and in shape, form and size it is certainly very distinct and beautiful. The color is a bright cherry-red, a pure shade. A strong, vigorous grower. This rose suc- ceeds well all over the South, and many plants of this varietv are a source of pleasure and delight to their pos- sessors in the States south of the Ohio. 10c each, 4-in. plants: 25c, larger plants. ALL ROSES GROWX OX THEIR OWN ROOTS.
