PERNET S TRIUMPH. THE BEAUTIFUL NEW ROSE, PERNET'S TRIUMPH. The Finest Ali-Round Crimson Rose to Date. Originated and sent out by Jean Pernet, one of the most celebrated Rose growers of France, who has already- given us some very beautiful Roses, but considers this the triumph of his life (the name translated would read "Tri- umph of Father Pernet"), and besides his endorsement it has received the commendation of the highest European authorities, and as far as we can judge it is well worthy of them, and promises to be one of the very finest of the Hybrid Tea class. The flowers are extra large, having broad, thick petals and long, tapering buds, with delicious i Tea fragrance. Color a fine, clear, magenta-red, some- times passing to a bright crimson. A7ery striking and beautiful, and of such good substance that the flowers re- tain their beauty for a long time. Price, 60 cents per doz.; $4.00 per hundred. TEA ROSE, Chas. Legrady. This splendid Rose has proven one of the most satis- factory for general planting. Here on our own grounds a bed of it always makes a grand display all Summer long. Magnificent, large buds, and flowers of great beauty. Color fine chamois-red, richly shaded with darkest crim- son. This rich, unique coloring is one of its marked characteristics, and stamps it with a distinctive charm. The outer petals aregrandly recurved, forming an excellent contrast to the Camellia-hke inner petals. For smooth- ness, richness and finish tbis Rose is without a rival. Price, 50 cents per dozen; $3.00 per hundred. Senator McNaughtoim, White Perle Des Jardins.) This fine white Rose originated with Mr. Jos. Bevis, of Philadelphia, as a sport from Perle, and is a grand va- riety. In foliage and growth it is identical with Perle; the flowers are of the same form and size, while the color is an ivory-white of great purity. This variety will prove invaluable to Rose growers, for it is of the same easy management as Perle, requiring the same temperature and treatment; and if there is a difference in freedom of bloom it is in favor of Senator McNaughton. Price, 60 cents per dozen; $4.00 per hundred. Superb New Scarlet Rose, Climbing Wooton. This elegant new Climbing Hybrid Tea Rose is one which promises to be a prime favorite wherever intro- duced. Everything good that can be said of the grand Rose, Souvenir de Wooton, can be said of this Rose, and more too. The flowers are large and of a beautiful vel- vety-red (color, and the perfume is elegant. Whether open, half-open or in bud, the flowers are of fine shape. The flowers are borne at the terminus of long shoots, which render them, especially good for cutting, much better, in fact,j than the flowers of its parent, Souvenir de WTooton. There is always a demand for a good, hardy Climbing Tpa, inasmuch as there are exceedingly few to be had. This' Rose we believe to possess a very considerable de- gree of hardiness, and should, with protection, stand the Winter almost anywhere. We consider this one of the best new Roses introduced for years, and as it can be planted out of doors or in, doing equally well in either place, there is no question but that it will soon become immensely popular. Order a good plant now, so as to have the first one in your r>eighborhood. Price 50 cents per dozen; $3.00 per hundred.
