ROSES. 41 Meteor, Rich, dark velvety crimson, as fine in color as the best ot Perpetuals; the flowers are of good size, very double and perfect in shape, either as buds or when fully opened; the plant is vigorous and remarkably free-flowering, splendid for pot culture and the best of the Hybrid Teas as a bed- ding variety. Mile. Helena Cambier. Color at first a salmon rose, varying to apricot yellow at base of petals, chang- ing to rosy flesh with deeper center in the open flowers. Flowers large, very double with full high centers. 15c. Mad. Schwaller. Very free in bloom, with fragrance of La France. The color is a deep, rosy flesh, deepening on edge of petals. Mad. Abel Chatenay. A grand bedding rose, as it is a profuse and continuous bloomer; flowers of good size, very double with slightly recurved petals; ele- gant buds. Color, rosy carmine, shaded salmon. Souv. de Pres. Carnot. An excellent rose of recent in- troduction that has already become a great favor- ite. The flower is of large size, of exquisite shape, with heavy, thick, shell-like petals, buds long and pointed, similar to Niphetos, but very much larger and borne on stiff, erect stems; color delicate, rosy flesh, shaded a trifle deeper at the center. An extra good garden rose. 15c. Triumph de Pernet Pere. Flowers extra large, having broad, thick petals and long, tapering buds; color, fine, bright red, sometimes passing to deep crim- son. 15c. UNLESS NOTED, 10 CENTS EACH. EVERBLOOMING CLIMBING ROSES. As free-blooming as the ordinary Tea Roses, and of a strong, vigorous climbing habit. In the south, where they stand the winters, nothing can compare with them for beauty of foliage and flowers. They may be kept out of doors in the north by laying them down and covering well with leaves or litter. Chromatella. (Cloth of Gold.) Golden yellow; fra- grant, large and beautiful. Climbing Souv. de Malmaison Flowers very large and double, of a delicate, clear flesh color; plant of strong climbing habit and a profuse bloomer, a grand variety for porches and pillars anywhere south of the Ohio river, where it is perfectly hardy. Climbing Wooton. Brisrht cherry crimson. A fine large double flower; very fragrant. The growth is remarkably strong. James Sprunt. Bud a rich, dark crimson. Lamargue. White, tinged lemon yellow. Climbing White Pet. A strong, rampant, climbing Polyantha; color pure white, in large clusters. Mary Washington. This is one of the hardiest of the ever-blooming climbers. It is a remarkably free bloomer, producing flowers in large clusters, pure white and very fragrant. Marechal Neil. Beautiful deep yellow; very large, full, globular form; sweet scented, free-flowering. Mad. Alfred Carrier. Flesh white. Reine Marie Henriette. Extra large, finely formed flower; color, glowing crimson. Solfaterre. Light sulphur yellow; large and double. Wm. Allen Richardson. Orange yellow, center copper yellow; very rich. 10 CENTS EACH.

Climbing Meteor is a strong, free growing climb- ing Rose that under favorable conditions will make shoots twelve to fifteen feet in a single season, very free flowering, producing all through the growing season its rich dark velvety crimson flowers, per- fectly double and in size and finish equal to the best Hybrid Perpetuals. While not quite hardy in the northern part of our country, it will carry through nicely if taken down and is covered slightly with coarse litter of any kind. Anywhere south of the Ohio river would live out all winter without any protection. 15c; strong plants by express, 35c.
