This new Rose, now introduced for the first time, might more properly be called a Perpetual-Blooming Climbing Gen- eral Jacqueminot. Though a sport from that finest of all Hybrid Teas, Meteor, it is much larger, and of a deeper, richer color, equalled only by the peerless Jacqueminot, and will produce twenty blossoms to Jacqueminot's one.

Dreer's garden calendar : 1896 . dreersgardencale1896henr Year: 1896 New Rose, Climbing fleteor.

Though a sport from that finest of all Hybrid Teas, Meteor, it is much larger, and of a deeper, richer color, equalled only by the peerless Jacqueminot, and will produce twenty blossoms to Jacqueminot's one. It is a rose which will make ten to fifteen feet of growth in a season, and show a profusion of bloom every day. Foliage strong, healthy and luxuriant. Buds exquisite; flowers large, beautifully shaped, and of that rich, dark, velvety crimson color seen only in the Jacqueminot. Much deeper and richer than Meteor. We do not hesitate to pronounce it the finest rose in existence for summer blooming, as it will make a large growth and is loaded with its glorious blossoms all the time. For winter blooming, it has few equals in beauty, and probably none in profusion. Just the rose to train up in a conservatory, where its exquisite blossoms will show to wonderful advantage. Good young plants, 40 cts. each. The Green Chrysanthemum, ' Ethel Amsden.' Quite a sensation occurred in Europe this year upon the announce- ment of the-appearance of a giw/;:flowered sport of Viviand Morel simultaneously in Englapd and France, and much interest was manifested in so curious a flower. That so well-known a grower as Mr. Owen, of Maidenhead, England, should send out this novelty is sufficient guarantee of its great merit. The plant has all the good qualities of its parent, which is still considered one of the very best Chrysanthemums. The color is described as a clear light green, sometimes tinged faintly with pink, which enchances its richness. 50 cts. each. NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 'Wn. SIMPSON.' (Heacock). This new variety has been exhibited nowhere except at the recent Philadelphia flower show, where it took the silver medal for the best American seedling Chry
