Hardy, Ever-Blooming Rose,
Mrs. De Graw.
Everyone wants a Hardy Ever-Blooming Rose, and when our attention was called to the grand variety shown in the accompanying engraving, we at once took steps to procure a stock of it. Following our usual practice, we gave it a thorough trial before offering it, and we are glad to say that it has fully justified the high opinion formed of it when first seen by us. It is with the greatest pleasure, therefore, we announce to our customers that we can confidently recommend it as being entirely hardy, equaling the tender sorts in profusion of bloom. From early Summer until frost it may be depended upon to produce flowers in abundance. In color it is a rich, glossy pink, delightfully fragrant, and is such a strong, vigorous grower that it is almost impregnable against attacks of the insects which usually destroy some of our finest Roses; thus it is certain to be unequaled for the garden or cemetery. A royal Rose. The sketch shows the wonderfully prolific blooming qualities of this grand Rose. Every shoot is loaded with flowers as shown.

At the present time the "voice of the birds" is whispering that Mrs. Degraw and Champion of the World are possibly identical with, or very similar to, that good old Bourbon, Pierre de St. Cyr. [As grown alongside of each other by V. H. Hallock & Sons, of Queens, N. Y., and critically compared at different times by leading New York rosarians Mrs. Degraw and Champion of the World have been pronounced distinct. ED.]
As the latter has about gone out of cultivation, it would be a boon to the country even if its re-introduction should be with another name. What is wanted is a good set of ever-blooming roses that are fragrant and hardy.
