These hybrids are dis- tinctly new and remark- able, Jersey Beauty being a cross between Wichur- aiana and Perle des Jar- dins, and Evergreen Gem between Wichuraiana and Madame Hoste. Although all the Wichuraiana type have a tendency towards an ever- green character, these are so positive in that direc- tion as to have earned the unique title of Evergieen Roses. Naturally the leaves are comparatively insect-proof, and always maintain a shining-green color. They are extremely strong growers, one four- year-old plant covering a space of 240 square feet, with shoots from 12 to 25 feet long. They bloom freely ; the flowers are pale yellow, opening to a cream color, of much larger size than the old Wichuraiana. Jersey Beauty is double; Evergreen Gem is single ; both are fragrant. These roses are excellent for covering banks, rocks or any open spot that it is desired to cover with a low creeping mass of foliage. Prices: Extra strong plants, from 6-in. pots, $1.00 each ; $7.50 per 10 ; $50.00 per 100.
