Pink La France. We have always given this the first place—the Queen of Roses. Accounts come to us from all quarters every year describing the great profusion of its bloom from June until frost, and extolling its fra- grance and immense size. It is of superb form, and double as a Rose can be. No variety can surpass it in delicate col- oring—silvery-rose shades, with pink. It has a satin sheen over all its petals. It is most uni- versally regarded as the most useful of Roses, for it is hardy beyond question. It blooms continuously. The flower is large, finely built, endures for a great length of time, is ex- quisitely colored and fragrant in the highest degree. Price, 10 cents each; large size, 30 cents each. The Red La France. (Or Duchess of Albany.) We have no hesitancy in say- ing to our customers that this Rose stands at the head of all Roses, not excepting La France. What we wish to impress is the fact that as a Rose for all purposes it has no peer. It is identical with La, France, ex- cepting in three points. , Those are: A more vigorous growth, a larger and more expanded flower, and a deep, even pink in color; not shaded, but what is called a solid color. Price, 15 cents; large size, 30 cents. Striped La France. (Madame Angelique Veysset.) Everybody knows the beautiful La France—a Rose that has always had such a ready sale that the demand has never been fully met. Striped La France combines all the good qualities of La France in growth, fragrance, shape of bud and flower; in fact, differs from it only in two points: First, it is freer in bloom than the parent; sec- ond, it is nicely striped, the markings being plain and dis- tinct, the variegation a beautiful bright rose on a satin- pink ground. Price, 15 cents; large size, 30 cents each. White La France. PINK AND RED LA FRANCE. New Tea Rose, SNOW FLAKE. It is a lovely new white Tea—the freest flowering Rose we have ever seen. The Rose was introduced by C. Straus & Co., of Washington, D. C, and by them grown in large quantities for cut flowers, they claiming it the most profit- able white Rose they grow; that they had counted one hundred and fifty-three buds and flowers on one plant in a single day, and the plant less than a year old. Nice young plants of this novelty for 10 cents each; large plants, 25 cents each. A Charming New Tea Rose, GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE. (Introducer's description.) This is the first Rose that we have introduced, and we are sure that it will please all who try it. It is in color an orange-yellow, after the color of Mad. Capucine, only richer and better. It is a good grower, has elegant long buds, borne on long stems, and will produce more buds than any Rose we know of. It forces easily, being at its best in mid-Winter. There is no variety that will compare with it in all the qualities that go to make up the ideal Rose. The color is so peculiar and rich that it attracts attention wherever seen. Try it. Price, 10 cents each; two-year-old plants, 25 cents each. SOUV. DE LA MALMAISON. This grand old variety, when used as a bedding Rose in Summer, has no equal, as it produces the most perfect flowers in the hottest weather. Its rich, flesh-colored flow- ers are of immense size, are produced in abundance, and have the requisite form and substance to withstand our hot, dry Summers. Price, 10 cents each; large plants, 30 r-ents each. (Augustine Guinnoiseau.) Here we have a beauty indeed, one we recommend to all, whether for out-door culture or for pots in the house in Winter. If you were to ask us to select six of the very fin- est Roses for you, we should be sure to include it in the six. Do you know La France? If so, you know this elegant new Rose. It is identical with La France, except the color. It is pearly-white, sometimes tinted with fawn. We predict for it far more popularity than La France ever attained. Don't fail to get this new Rose. Price, 15 cents; large size, 30 cents. SPECIAL OFFER:—The four La France Roses for 40 Cents ; two- year Size, $ 1.00. The Fine Pink Tea Rose, CATHERINE MERMET, One of the finest Roses grown. Its name is the synonym for all that is delicate and beautiful. Its buds are inimi- table, faultless in form and charming in their 'every shade of color, from the purest silvery-rose to the exquisite com- bining of yellow and rose, which illumines 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; two-year-old plants, 25 cents each. FOR EVERY DOLLAR'S WORTH OF PLANTS YOU ORDER AT PRICE PER SINGLE PLANT, YOU MAY S-LECT FROM THIS CATALOGUE 20 CENTS' WORTH OF EXTRA PLANTS AS PREMIUMS, EXCEPT ON SPECIAL OFFERS OR COLLECTIONS, TO WHICH THIS OFFER DOES NOT APPLY.
