INNISFALLEN GREENHOUSES, URBANA, OHIO. 21 TtiB Queen Set of Loveiu Pure WHlle Roses. To all who wish the best pure white Roses we can recommend these eight varieties as being desirable in every respect. They are hardy, vigorous growers, are abundant bloomers, deliciously fragrant and of the purest color, TRY THEM. SPECIAI. OFFER—Eigrht pare*whife Monthly Roses on this pa$£e for 50 cents; or tbe eisb* Ross in large two-year>ol(l plants for $1.25. NO OTHER OISCOUNT OR PREMIUMS AI^LOWED ON SPECIAI. OFFERS. New Pure White Royal Tea Rose. QUEEN OR KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. The Best White Rose in the World. This beautiful Rose has uotonly a royal name but is a royal Rose as well. We have while Roses that have ele^dut buds, but when full blowu are not all that is desired. Then again, we have white Rose? that are elegant wheu ^ull bluwu. but have poor buds. This Rose combines both gi>.)d qualities; is n continuous bloomer, producing successive crops oi buds and flowers in the greatest profusion. Buds are very beautifully formed, with hxn^e petals of best ^ubstance; shows uo center wbeu fully opeu; color, pure showy white; aud when you add a rich per- fume, coupled with a vigoroiis Krowth, what more could you ask? This Rose is an easy winner over all competitors iu its color, and we predict that more of it will be planted than nil other white Roses combined. We have tested it thoroughly. Price,' 1.5 cents each; large two-year-old plants, 35 cents eacb. THE QUEEN. A most charming Tea Rose. The oflFspring of that fine old Rose, Souvenir d'uu Ami, 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 when fully open. The petals are thick and of good substance, opens well, is very sweet, and has proven valuable both for forcing and open ground planting. We recommend it for extended trial, as It will be found a valuable acquisition to our list of pure white, ever-blooming Roses. Price, lOcentN each; large-two-year old plants, 33 cents each. MARIE GUILLOT—a Snow White Rose. We consider this variety the equal, if not the peer of any Rose of its color in cultivation. A trial w^ill convince any one that this endorsement is not ex- travagant. The flowers are full, extra large, very double and sweetly scented; has many rivals, but no equals for open ground cultivation. Price, lo cents each; large two-year-old plants, 25 cents each. SNOWFLAKE. This is a lovely white Rose, a pure Tea, bnt a foreign seedling, the freest-flowering while Rose Ave have seen. It will be es- pecially useful iu set designs. For a pot plant it cannot be ex- celled, as it possesses e\ery good quality of a pot Rose. We counted on one plant one hundred aud forty-three buds and flowers in a single day, and the plant w^as oiily nine months old. It can be used in place of white Carnations for set pieces at an immense saving, because it can be bloomed profitably at one dollar per hundred buds. Not only will it cover two and three times the space in a funeral design, for instance, that a Carnation covers, hut it will tive greatly superior results. Try it. Price, lO cents each ; large two year old plants 2.5 cents. MADAME HOSTE. One of the finest ever sent to this country. It is a strong, bushy grower, aud a bud can always be cut with a long stem and closely set leaves, of heavy texture and dark green color. It is like Perle in growth, and also in the fact that the bud shows different shades in different temperatures. In cool weather it is an ivory white (soarcely cream), of even tint; in the Summer it is a bright canary, with a deep amber center. We know of no Tea Rose with larger or more finely shaped bud. It is globular, nnd at the same time distinctly po'inted. and, as this shape of bud always indicates, is very double, and an unusually beauti- ful open Rose. Price, 10 cents each; large two year old plants, 25 cents each.

♦fcueeii AusTMSta Victoria. NIPHETOS. Large, graceful, immense buds of snow white, remaining it perfect form many days. No other Rose bears buds of this peculiar elegant form. Plant is dwarf; requires great care if grown outdoors; docs finely as a pot Rose*; blooms freely and constantly, and for Avhatever attention it may require the blooms are an ample return. It forces readily in Winter. Price, 10 cents each; large two year old plants, 35 cents each. The Beautiful New Tea Rose, WHITE MAMAN COCHET. The finest Rose of the year. Like its parent, the growth i.s vigorous with rich, healthy foliage, producing large, fine fiovvers of the purest white—in fact, it is an exact counterpart ol the beautiful Maman Cochet, and all who have tried it pro- nounce it the finest bedding Tea Rose in existence. We wouM advise all who love choice Roses to plant at least one of this beautiful new Rose. Price, 15 cents each ; large two year old plants, 35 cents each. CORNELIA COOK. The buds are most beautiful, of immense size, and are borne up high on massive stems, and, with the round, full, heavy form, carry an air of grace and dignity quite unusual. The flowers are the clearest, snowiest white, and are arranged in the most faultless and symmetrical manner. Cornelia Cook has the largest bud of anv of the white Roses. It is a m>i.<!sive pud magnificent Rose. Price, lO cents each ; large two year old plants, 23 cents.
