Text Appearing After Image:
CORNELIA COOK. The buds are most beautiful, of immense size, and are borne up high on massive stems, and with their round, full, heavy form, carry an air of grace and dignity quite unusual. The flowers are the clearest, snowiest white, and are arranged in the most faultless and symmetrical manner. Cornelia Cook has the largest bud of any of the white Hoses. It is a massive and magnificent Rose. 10 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 40 cents* each. THE QUEEN. A roost charming Tea Rose. The offspring of that fine old Rose, Souvenir d'un Ami, whose many good qualities it seems to possess in. a remarkable degree. It is pure snow white, makes good, finely-formed buds, is quite full, showing tne center but slightly when fully open. The petals are thick and of good substance, opens well, and is very sweet, and has proven valuable, both for forcing and open ground planting. We recommend it j for extended trial, as it will be found a valuable acquis- ition to our list of pure white ever-blooming Roses. 10 crents each; large two-year-old plants, 40 cents each, MARIE GUILLOT. We consider this variety the equal, if not the peer, of any Rose of its color in cultivation. Atrial will convince any one that this endorsement is not extravagant. The flowers are full and extra large, very double and sweet scented; has many rivals, but no equals for open ground cultivation. 10 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 40 cents each. SNOWFLAKE. This is a lovely white Rose, a pure Tea, but a foreign seedling, the freest flowering white Rose we have Been. It will be especially useful in set designs. For a pot plant it cannot be excelled, as it possesses every good quality of a pot Rose. We counted on one plant one hundred and forty-three buds and flowers in a single day, and the plant was only nine months old. It can be used in place of white Carnations for set pieces at an immense saving, Decause it can be bloomed profitably at one dollar per hundred buds. Not only will it cover twice and three times the space in a funeral design, for instance, that a Carnation covers, but it will give greatly superior results. Try it. 10 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 40 cent's each. I *ifpf' ' NEW PURE WHITE ROYAL TEA ROSE, ; KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA 1 THE BEST WHITE ROSE IN THE WORLD. This beautiful Rose has not only a royal name, but is a royal Rose as well. We have white Roses that have elegant buds, but when full blown are not all that is desired. Then again, we have white Roses that are elegant when full blown, but have poor buds. This Rose combines both these good qualities. Is a continuous bloomer, producing successive crops of buds and flowers in the greatest pro- fusion. Buds are very beautifully formed, with large petals of best substance. It shows no center when fully open; cplor pure, snowy' white; and when you add a rich perfume, coupled with a vigorous growth, whatmore could you ask? This Rose is an easy winner over all competitors in its color, and we pre- dict that more of it will be planted than all other white Roses combined. We have tested it thoroughly. 13 cents each; large two- year-old plants, 50 cents each. WHITE PERLE DES JARDINS. The lovers of that grand Rose'Terle des Jardins" will bo glad to learn that we have now a pure ivory white "Pearl of the Gardens." We have given it a long trial and believe it is an ideal Rose. It has foliage darker and rougher than Perle, throws up long, slender, stiff canes, each bearing a pure white bud of something more than a medium size, and quite upright. Every flower can be cut with very long, closely-foliaged stem, which we consider a strong point of beauty in a Rose. It has a delicate Tea fragrance. We think that everv lover of white Tea Roses will be delighted with the White Perle. It will be found totally distinct from Bride, or any other white Rose. This issurelv a most magnificent Rose, as each year's trial we give it only enhances its value in our estimation. 15 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 50 cents each. SPECIAL OFFEF.— Th« six pure snow white Monthly Roiet on this page for 60 cents; or the six Poses in large two-year-old plants for S2.00.
