UltlRTADREER-PilllADEliPHIA'^'A' SELECT-ROS§S 143 New Evergreen Roses. The most remarkable achievement and improvement of a new and distinct type of Hardy Roses that has been made for a gener- ation. The growlh is remarkable for its freedom, a single plant, four years old, covering a space of 240 square feet, with long shoots, twelve to twenty-Hve feet in length, completely covering the ground with its bright glossy foliage and showy, fragrant flowers. The folinge of all is leathery in texture, shiny, and not only proof against insects, but Evergreen; that is, keeping the foliage all winter; a characteristic in Roses never before obtained. The flowers are produced most profusely, are all of large size, very fragrant, and can be easily used for cut-flower purposes, espec- ially when in bud. The use of these Roses will be unlimited ; for covering graves, to cover roots, stumps and stems of trees, walls and trellises, and also for forcing as pot plants during spring, especially for Easter. Jersey Beauty {Wiehuraiana X Perle des Jardiits). Ex- tremely vigorous grower, foliage shiny, thick, of leathery sub- stance. Flowers singly or in clusters of two to four, large, single, three inches in diameter, opening pale yellow, with clusters of bright yellow stamens, which gives it a most striking appearance, fragrant, and produced in greatest profusion, covering the plant entirely, and having the appearance of a Yellow Cherokee Rose. Most striking variety of the set. Evergreen Gem {Wickuraiana X Madame Hoste). The most wonderful grower of the set. Foliage fine rich bronze color, closely matted. Flowers produced singly on stems, yellow, buff in bud, opening to almost white, two or three inches in di- ameter, perfectly double, and of a delightful sweetbriar fragrance. (See cut.) Oiirdeilid/
