NEW HYBRID WICHURAIANA ROSES. Because of their trailing nature, and bright, shining green—almost evergreen—leaves, the Wichuraiana roses have a great value that is already well known. The hybrids lend variety, and are otherwise desirable by their earlier- blooming character. They can be assorted with the common form, therefore, without disturbing the effect of the later-blooming flower. They keep the same trailing habit, though it is possible to train them on a trellis like any running rose. The freedom of growth is wonderful, frequently averaging over eighteen feet in length. It can be readily seen by this that it is just the plant needed for covering banks and trailing over walls or along bare ground. The extreme hardiness of the Wichuraiana is well recognized ; and as it is not particular as to the soil in which it is planted, it is adaptable to almost any situation. It is also suitable for pot-culture, and forces well. (For prices, see page 50.) For low walls, the Wichuraiana is quite suitable ; the long branches may be trimmed.
