Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. AMERICAN BEAUTY. A truthful description of this rose would sound like exaggeration. It grows as vigorously as a Hybrid Perpetual, and blooms as freely as the Hy- brid Teas, while the flowers are of great size, boldly car- ried and most deliciously fragrant; rich, high rose color. Globular, hardy. 15 cents eath. The Hybrid Tea Roses deserve to become the most popular in cultivation, because they combine all desirable i;iialities—strong, vigorous growth, powerful fragrance, and \ '-ontinuous production of most gorgeous flowers. Price of ( .ill Hybrid Tea Roses, )0c each, from 2% inch pots, or 12 for $1; large plants, 30 cents each; $3 per 12, except where Qoted. AMERICAN BELLE. This new variety is the most import- ant introduction in roses since the advent of the "Ameri- can Beauty." and it is universally admitted by expert growers all over the country to bo a distinct advance in color over its parent ((Beauty), while holding all the good qualities, delicious fragrance, size, etc., of that magnifi- cent variety. The color is the loveliest shade of bright pink; in all other qualities it is equal to its famous par- ent, "American Beauty." 20 cents each. AUGUSTINE GUINNOISEAU. (White La France.) Here we have a beauty indeed; one we can 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 finest roses for you, we should be sure to include it in the six. It is pearly white, sometimes tinted with fawn. ANTOINE VERDIER. Very large, full and of fine shape; color, a rich, carmine pink, slightly shaded with white; of good growth, with nice light foliage, of the La France type. !!ONA WELLISHOTT. A very strong grower; flower large and double, and of the centifolia form. Color rosy ver- milion, with center of orange-red; very sweet. KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. Pure ivory white; a flower of grand build, from the very first bud form till the rose drops its petals. This elegant variety can be had in first-class style and great purity of color through- out the year. A splendid grower, and with most beau- tiful foliage. Has proved ont- of the very best of the forcing roses. Has no rival as. p bedding rose, producing the finest buds all summer. METEOR. A velvety-red everbloomer has long been de- manded, and now we have it; not the satin finish and lighter red of Papa Gontier, but the deepest glowing crimson, as fine as a hybrid: flower of medium size, very double, and petals slightly recurving: a beautiful open rose, a free bloomer. This variety has far exceeded our expectations in everj' respect. ALL ROSES GROWN ON THEIR OWN ROOTS.
