NEW HARDY EVER-BLOOMING ROSE
ADMIRAL DEWEY. (No. 1.)

A new Hybrid Tea Rose raised by Mr. J. H. Taylor, one of the largest growers of Roses for the New York market. It is of the largest size, very free flowering, blooming continuously throughout the year, whether planted out in the open ground or grown in pots or on benches in tire greenhouse. It has been tried in the open ground and has been proved hardy in the vicinity of New York. Thousands of it are grown in greenhouses for the critical New York market, where it has been enthusiastically received by connoisseurs in fine Roses. The ground color is a light flesh tint, almost white, suffused with a beautiful blush, deepening to a rosy blush in the centre, a large, full Rose with broad, strong petals beautifully cupped. The stems are strong and straight, holding the flowers erect. The raiser thought so highly of it that he deemed it worthy of being named in honor of America's great Admiral, and received a letter of thanks from Admiral Dewey for naming such a beautiful Rose in his honor. We were so impressed with its beauty and excellence that we purchased a large stock of it, and offer it very low for such a grand new Rose. We show it on the front cover of our catalogue, in the "Admiral" Collection on the Colored Plate opposite, and show it in a group of flowers or, page 125.
