The Meteor. Yellow Hermosa Rose, COQUETTE de LYON. )STo Rose like it for freedom of bloom. The plant is a fine grower and carries numbers of flowers on every shoot. A fine yellow Rose, large, not at all formal, but very attractive. Called the Yellow Hermosa from its free-flowering character. "We do not know of any Rose that will give the satisfaction that this variety will and -we heartily recommend it. Price, 10 cents each; large plants, 30 cents each. Beautiful Tea Rose, MADAME WELCHE. The flowers have great depth and substance, and are of fine globular form, with broad, thick petals, and large, finely-shaped buds. The color is a beautiful shade of soft amber-yellow, deep- ening towards the center to fine orange or cop- pery-yellow, delicately tinged and clouded with pale ruddy crimson. Flowers and buds are re- markably sweet,and the plant is a good, healthy grower, of a compact, bushy habit, producing its exquisite buds and flowers in great abund- i ance during the whole growing season. It is fine for the conservatory, and none better for open ground. Price, 10 cents each; large two- year-old plants, 35 cents each. New Tea Rose, THE QUEEN. A most charming Tea Rose. The offspring of that fine old Rose, Souvenir d'um Ami.whose many good qualities it seems to possess in a Temarkable degree. It is pure snow-white, makes good, finely formed buds, is quite full, showing the center but slightly when fully open. The petals are thick and of good sub- stance, opens well, is very sweet, and has proved valuable, both for forcing and open ground planting. Price. 15 cents each; two- year-old plants, 30 cents each. The Rare Old Rose, MALMAISON. This grand old variety, when used as a bed- ding Rose in Summer, has no equal, as it pro- duces the most perfect flowers in the hottest weather. Its rich, flesh-colored flowers are of immense size, are produced in abundance, and have the requisite form and substance to with- stand our hot, dry Summers. Price, 10 cents each; large plants, 25 cent* each. WHITE LA FRANCE. (Augustine Guinnoiseau.) Here we have a beauty indeed, one we can recommend to all, whether fur out-door cul- ture or for pots in the house in Winter. 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. Price, 15 cents each; Jarge size, 30 cents each. The Richest Dark=Red Rose, THE METEOR. A velvety-red ever-bloomer of the deepest glowing crimson, as fine as a Hybrid. Flowers of medium size, very double and slightly recurving. A beautiful open Rose, a free bloomer and a very ex- cellent pot Rose. It has no tinge of violet or purple to mar its beau- ty. It is a vigorous, bushy grower, with healthy, bright foliage of the deepest green. This is unquestionably the best dark Velvety- red Rose yet produced. Grand, both in bud and flower. Price, 15 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 35 cents each. The Beautiful Tulip Rose, MADAME de WATTEVILLE. This grand new ever-blooming Rose is one of the most beautiful varieties we have ever sent out, and is very largely planted by those who know its beauty. The color is a remarkable shade of creamy- yellow, richly colored with rosy blush. The petals are large and each one widely bordered with bright crimson, which gives it a very striking and beautiful appearance. The flowers are large, very full, and highly perfumed. This is the Tulip Rose, so called because of the feathery shading of bright rose around the edge of every petal, the body of the p<nal being creamy-white and of heavy texture. Sure to please. Price, 15 cents each; t^o-year-old plants, 30 cents each. PINK LA FRANCE. We have always given this the first place—the Queen of Roses. Ac- counts come to us from all quarters every year describing the great pro- fusion of its bloom from June until frost, and extolling its fragrance and immense size. It is superb form, and double as a Rose can be. No variety can surpass it in delicate coloring—silvery rose shades, with pink. It has a satin sheen over all its petals. It is most universally regarded as the most u-eful 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 Superb Yellow Tea Rose, STAR OP LYON.—Etoile de Lyon. A rich golden-yellow, a strong, healthy and vigorous grower, immense bloomer, bearing flowers and buds early and late. The flowers are very deep, rich, and full, excellent substance, very sweet. One of the very best and most beautiful Tea Roses for general planting. Remark- ably hardy, both as to heat and cold, frequently standing the Winters here uninjured in open ground without protection, and blooming nicely all through the hottest part of the Sum- mer. Price, 10 cents each; two-year-old plants, 30 cents each. The Queen of Bedding Roses, CRIMSON BEDDER, The very best red Rose for bedding, can be planted any- v.-here, being entirely hardy. Flowers are of large size s,nd of a fiery-scarlet, a color seldom seen in Roses, producing a mass of red equal to a bed of Geraniums. Planted every- where on account of it9 color and freedom of bloom. Pric«, 10 cents; large two-year-old plants, 30 cents.
