Extremelv free iu growth and bloom. Long, beautifully-leaved stems can be cut, the foliaee being very dark and heavy. One of the best and a perfect bedder. Price 1 O cts each; large, two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each. New Crimson Tea Rose, Christine de Noue. This beautiful new red Tea is a very charming Rose, and promises to be one of the best of recent production. It is partic- ularly valuable because red has been a very scarce color among Tea Roses, and this one seems exceptionally fine. It is a splen- did grower, making a large-sized, graceful, bush, with bright, deep green foliage; a constaut and very free bloomer; the flowers are well borne upon strong 6tems, and are usually large and handsome; the buds are long and finely pointed; and the color clear, rich maroon or deep purplish red, passing to lake, center sometimes streaked with silvery-white; the petals are finely im- bricated, and the flowers are deliciously sweet. It is highly rec- ommended as a valuable and in every way desirable Rose for general planting. Price, 1 5 cents each, two for 25 cents; large two-year-old plants, 30 cents each. New Crimson Tea Rose, Marion Dingee. A strong, vigorous grower, a handsome, graceful bush, large, thick, deep green leaves. Flowers are large, beautiful cup- shaped, moderately full, borne in wonderful prolusion nil through the growing season. In fact we scarcely know of any other Rose that will produce so many perfect flowers in a gi .en time; whether in open ground or xiuder glass it is a most con- stant and profuse bloomer. The flowers are borne nearly up- righton longstems, and areof excellent substance, having th)«'k, leathery petals, holding their Wm aud color a long time. The color is"perhaps its most remarkable feature. It is a deep, br/1- liant crimson, one of the darkest and richest colored Tea Ro5.es in existence. Price, 10 cents each; large two-year- old plants, 35 cents each. SPECIAL OFFER-We will send you the set of Eight Red Roses for 65 cents postpaid; In large two year-old size for $1.25.
