'W^
I
This splendid new ever-blooming climbing Rose is introduced from England,
where it has given great satisfaction. It is believed to be a valuable acquisition,
particularly for the South and Pacific Coast, and though not entirely hardy in
the North will probably do well in many situations in the Middle States. It
is a strong grower and continuous bloomer; the flowers are large, full and
sweet; color rich scarlety crimson, very beautiful and a profuse bloomer, 15
Cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1 ; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each.
The Microphylla Roses.
These are hardy and vigorous semi-climbing Roses, and are extremely satisfactory
for cemeteries, rock work, covering old walls, mounds, etc. Strong and bushy grow-
ers, with small, glossy, green foliage and nearly evergreen in habit; the flowers are en-
tirely double, very pretty and sweet. Splendid for Rose hedges.
White.* — A strong grower and a continuous bloomer ; flowers perfectly double, sweet,
. and the purest white in color, 15 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each.
Red. — Habit of growth similar to White; flowers of bright red, produced in great
profusion. 15 cts. each; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each.
The Lady Banks or Banksian Roses
Are fine climbing or trailing Roses. Require two or three years' growth to bloom to
perfection, and are then very beautiful. As the flowers are produced on the old growth,
they should be pruned very little, merely cutting away what is necessary.
Alba or White, — Pure white Violet-scented flowers ; beautiful, perfect form. 15
