ADMIRAL DEWEY.
The following is Mr. Taylor's description of it: "Delicate blush-pink, shading to white, globular, expanding into a full flower without showing center. A sport from Madame Caroline Testout, more vigorous in habit and a very free bloomer. The flowers are borne on long, stiff stems, requiring little or no tying. A splendid bedder as well as forcer. Certificate at Boston, bronze medal and certificate at New York." The store men of New York speak in high terms of its beauty and its lasting qualities. 25 cents each; $2,50 per dozen.

President Cleveland, or Climbing Marie Guillot.  A Glorious New Rose.
This Rose has been grown around Houston, Texas, for several years under the name of President Cleveland.  If you have never seen Marie Guillot growing at its best in the open ground you cannot conceive of the beauty of its large, bold, handsome white flowers.  It has been termed the "Queen of White Roses", and while there are many white varieties of unquestionable excellence, there are none more reliable for outdoor cultivation than Marie Guillot.  Climbing Marie Guillot possesses all the valuable features of its famous parent, from which it differs only in habit of growth.  It is one of the most rapid growing and vigorous climbing Roses we have ever seen, small plants making a growth of ten to twenty feet in five months.  It is an exceedingly healthy Rose, possessing every attribute that a perfect Rose should have.  It blooms continuously throughout the season, the first and every year.  The flowers are magnificently made, extra large, deep and double.  The buds are particularly beautiful and the fragrance delightful.  The color is pure snow white, sometimes faintly tinged toward the center with pale yellow.  It will prove moderately hardy with protection, but it will be seen at its best in the South, Southwest and Pacific Coast states (where the Winters are mild).  It will bloom the whole year around in the far South, and wherever Marechal Niel is grown this variety will undoubtedly equal it in beauty of flowers and surpass it in vigor and growth.  It is one of the really grand Roses.  50 cents per dozen; $3.50 per hundred.

White Maman Cochet,
Or Priscilla.
The Charming New White Tea Rose.
Another new American Rose, but as widely different from all other white Roses as one can well imagine.  It belongs to the Tea class, being a child of that grandest of bedding or outdoor Roses, Maman Cochet, and is hardy here in northern Ohio, with slight protection in Winter.  Its habit is exceedingly strong and upright, like its parent, and it possesses the same large, beautiful, healthy foliage, and is a most profuse and constant bloomer.  The flowers are of enormous size, remarkably round and full, pure, clear, snowy white throughout, and are delightfully Tea scented.  It is by far the finest and most reliable white bedding Rose yet produced, and should be planted by everybody.  By planting a few plants of it, anyone can have the very finest Roses for cutting and for use in vases, upon altar, dining table, in parlor, etc., all Summer and Autumn.  Without question the largest white Rose, both in bud and flower.  No other Rose of its color approaches it in size.  It is startling.  This Rose will disappoint no one who plants it.  50 cents per dozen; $2.50 per hundred.
