MADAME RIVOY. Looks like a Hybrid Per-
petual in Flower and Foliage. Is Hardy— In this
grand old variety we have a Rose of no ordinary excellence.
It is entitled to a place among Ever-blooming Roses equal
to that which General Jacqueminot takes among Hybrid
Perpetuals. Indeed it is not unlike a Hybrid Perpetual in
the extra-large, full and loosely formed crimson-scarlet
double flowers, enchanting fragrance, intensity of color
large, handsome foliage, and extreme vigor
it is hardy with slight protection, a quick, constant
profuse blbomer, and for butdoor culture canno
celled by any Rose of its color. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.;
9 for ^i. Two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each.
MARECHAL ROBERT . ^ Charming Variety.
— We select this variety from among hundreds as extra
good. The flowers are full, double and sweet ; they are
borne in abundance, on long stiff stems, all through the
growing season. The color is pure white, faintly tinged
with blush and yellow ; a good, healthy grower, and alto-
gether a pleasing and satisfactory Rose.
MARIE LAMBERT OR SNOWFLAKE Qne of
the best and freest flowering, blooming Roses in cultivation,
equally good for open-ground cultivation and pot culture.
Outdoors it is especially good, being unusually hardy, very
vigorous and a certain, continuous and free bloomer. On
a siii'gle plant only nine months old 143 buds and flowers
were counted. Flowers large, full and double ; color
creamy white.
MADAME WELCHE.
A Large, Handsome Rose.
Flowers of great depth ; fine globular form, with broad
thick petals; color a beautiful shade of amber yellow,
deepening toward centre to orange or coppery yellow,
delicately clouded with pale crimson ; flowers and buds are
remarkably sweet, and the plant is a healthy grower, of
compact, bushy habit, producing buds and flowers in
abundance during the growing season. Fine for open
ground as well as for greenhouse. Superb in every way.
15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for
$1. Two-year-old plants, 30
cts. each. -^ - / ~
