MAD. DE WATTEVILLE. (The Tulip Rose.) New Tea Rosc^ MADAME ELI LAMBERT. A beautiful new Tea Rose, flowers extra large, fine globular form, very full and well built up. Color is somewhat in the way of Madame de Watteville, but deeper, rich, creamy white, faintly tinted with pale, golden yellow, and exquisitely bor- dered and shaded with soft, rosy flesh, exceedingly beautiful and very sweet, petals large and of good substance, constant and profuse bloomer, strong, vigorous and healthy grower— in short, a magnificent Rose in every way. Price, 50 cents per dozen, $4.00 per 100; 4-inch, $8.00 per 100. The Great Tulip Rose of Europe, the Beautiful This grand new ever- blooming Rose is one of the most beautiful varieties we have ever sent out, and is very largely planted by those who know its beauty. The color is a remarkable shade of creamy yellow, richly covered with rosy blush. The petals are large and each one widely bor- dered witn bright crimson, which gives it a very strik- ing and beautiful appear- ance. The flowers are large, very full, and highly per- fumed. This is the Tulip Rose, so called because of the feathery shading of bright rose around the edge of every petal, the body of the petal being creamy-white and of heavy texture. Price, 6 cents each, 50 cents per dozen, $3.00 per 100; 4- inch, $8.00 per 100. Crimson Rose, Princess Sagan. Flowers of this variety are the rich- est crimson of any Rose in our vast collection. A single bud or blossom will catch the eye at a great distance, so brilliant is the color. Indeed it is unmatched in its velvety richness; could well be termed "The Velvet Ros'e." It is as free in blooming as Bon Silene. Price, 50 cents per dozen, $3.00 per 100; 4-inch, $8.00 per 100. New Tea Rose, The Queen. A most charming Tea Rose. The off- spring of that fine old Rose, Souvenir d'un Amie, whose many good qualities it seems to possess in a remarkable degree. It is pure snow-white, makes good, finely formed buds; is quite full, showing the center but slightly. Price, 6 cents each, 50 cents per dozen, $4.00 per 100; 4-inch, $8.00 per 100. New Tea Rose, Mme. Schwaller. Like Puritan, this Rose has the strong, firm growth of the Hybrid Perpetuals, the same form and finish of flowers, being especially beautiful when full blown. It is very free in bloom, and has the fragrance of the old June Roses. The color is a bright rosy flesh, paler at the base of the P'etals, and deepening at the edge. Apt to come in clusters, which are excel- lent for cutting. A Rose from which we hear very flattering reports from all directions. This grand Rose has more perfume than any that we offer. Try it, it is magnificent. Price, 50 cents per dozen, $3.00 per 100; 4-inch, $8.00 per 100. Marie Van Houtte- Of a fine, faultless, straw-yellow color, with the outer petals washed and outlined with a bright rosy-crimson; occasionally the whole flower will be suffused with light pink. It grows vigorously, blooms profusely, and is most deliciously scented; in cold weather it almost changes color, taking on gorgeous crimson tints. A beautiful and superb Rose. Price, 50 cents per dozen, $3.00 per 100; 4-inch, $8.00 per 100.
